Metamorphosis
Summary
A shuttle crew from the Enterprise encounters a castaway who appears to be Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp drive, and his mysterious alien Companion. Kirk, Bones, Spock and a disease-stricken officer are brought down on a planet surface en route to the Enterprise where they meet Zefram Cochrane, who is recorded to be dead for 150 years. Cochrane explains that the Companion, a mysterious energy field, keeps him alive and well, but recently decided that he needed a companion. After investigating and challenging the alien Companion, Kirk realizes that the Companion has feelings for Cochrane and finds a way to get back to the Enterprise in a surprisingly romantic episode.
