Stardate: 3541.9
Captain’s log. The
Enterprise is responding to a distress signal from the Malurian system, which has a population of four billion. However, the
Enterprise arrives to find no signs of life nor any signs of a disaster that would account for the population
all dying. The
Enterprise is then attacked by an energy beam that strikes with the force of ninety photon torpedoes. The beam moves at warp 15, but after three attacks, Spock is able to pinpoint the source. Sulu fires a photon torpedo at it, but whatever it is absorbs the energy of the torpedo and is undamaged.
