Dieser Inhalt ist in Ihrer Sprache noch nicht verfügbar; die englische Fassung wird angezeigt.

Cadet Nyota Uhura is invited to a meal with other crewmembers in Pike's quarters, where she reveals that she is unsure about her future in Starfleet because she only joined as a way to escape from the pain of her parents' deaths. The Enterprise crew attempt to alter the course of a comet that is set to kill all of the inhabitants of a desolate planet, but it has a force field that prevents this. Uhura joins a team that transports to the comet's surface and discovers that it responds to music. A starship of "shepherds", who are escorting the comet, position themselves between it and the Enterprise; they believe it is a being called M'hanit who is an ancient arbiter of life. Enterprise distracts them to allow Spock to alter the comet's course and, as it passes by the planet, it releases water vapor into the atmosphere that will improve the conditions for life.
