There, she has discovered something crucial to the safety of two universes; but she will not tell Kirk what it is. Soon, she and Helmsman Metcalfe disappear, and signs of a conspiracy begin to surface among the crew. Jim Kirk finds he may not be able to stop whatever it is Saavik is planning. Worse, he doesn't know if he should...
