As Lieutenant Warren and the alien woman appeared on the bridge, Uhura called for assistance, "Security to the bridge." Hopefully, there was someone left conscious who could respond.
Warren spun around the bridge, calling out to her crewmate, "It's alright! Uh- this uh- woman from Nera Five, has invited us to her planet."
"Mooranda," the naked woman presented the crew with a pleasant smile. "I will show you that I mean good as such as you do."
Mooranda tightly closed her eyes and a glittering light emerged from the surface of her skin. Once the glittering subsided, the unconscious crewmembers of the Enterprise awakened.
Both Spock and the Captain internally reflected on the impressive diplomacy Lieutenant Warren must have shown the Hallonite while the two were aboard her vessel. However, Spock came to a conclusion that the Captain initially did not. Neither Lieutenant Warren nor this Mooranda character was aware that Nera Five had been destroyed nearly a century ago.
Warren relaxed, turning her smile to the crew of the Enterprise. "She understands that we mean her people no harm," Warren said.
Spock, lifting a single brow, addressed the problem at hand, "I believe Mooranda has been absent from her colony for a time greater than from when it was destroyed."
"What?" the Lieutenant's eyes snapped to Spock.
"Nearly one century ago, a meteorite struck the colony planet," Spock said, readjusting his posture to fold his arms behind his back. "There were no survivors."
Everyone on the bridge could hear the labored breaths that began leaving Mooranda's twisted face. "You liar!" she jabbed a finger at Warren. "You said men were good; you said you were good! You destroy my planet and my people! How dare you lie!"
Kirk shot up from his chair. "That's not what he said," he tried to explain. "No humans had even entered this sector of space a hundred years ago."
However, his explanation was not enough to temper the distraught alien. "You will all pay!" Mooranda glared at Warren, a ball of bright light building up in her fist as she did so.
Warren reached out to the woman. "No- don't- it's okay," she pled.
Kirk wiped his head toward the two security officers who entered the bridge and gestured at the dangerous alien.
Before anyone could reach the officer, the burst of light flared from Mooranda's hand, entering Warren's chest and sending the Lieutenant tumbling onto the floor.
Spock, who was nearest to the Lieutenant, rushed to her aid.
The two security officers grabbed onto Mooranda who surprisingly did not resist. Instead, the woman crumpled in their arms and began sobbing uncontrollably. "What have I done?" she moaned.
Crouched next to Warren and holding her head in his lap, Spock looked up to the Captain. "She's dying," he said. "We need to get her to-"
An image appeared in Spock's mind, interrupting his train of thought. Within the image, Spock took note of a young couple, one was a Vulcan female and the other was a human male. The pair stood in front of a large lake, likely somewhere in Earth's northern hemisphere. There was an old human belief that one's life flashes before their eyes when they were faced with death. Warren, who was half Vulcan, logically had telepathic abilities such as Spock himself. Therefore, it made sense that this scene was unintentionally being projected to him by the Lieutenant.
Kirk bolted to the pair and stared into Spock's vacant eyes. "Spock?" he said. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, Captain," Spock responded as he lifted the Lieutenant up in his arms. "We need to get the Lieutenant to sickbay immediately."
Kirk offered a look of pity to the moping alien woman. "Take her to the brig, for now," he commanded.
