Reactions and Reviews
The story takes place in the series universe, with Kirk a Captain rather than an Admiral. The Enterprise is trying to locate a planet suitable enough to be used for the testing of their weapons and disrupter systems. They find themselves at Dritt Erde, a class M planet with humanoid cultures hostile to all exploration attempts. Kirk, however, is granted limited exploration of the planet by why he believes is one of the planetary leaders. When he is beamed down, he runs into cultural difficulties and unknowingly breaks some of their laws. While he being taken captive, a damage phaser is accidently fired, and Kirk is wounded. McCoy sees that Kirk is hurt, and as he tries to run to help him, he stumbles and falls down a cliff into unconsciousness. Back on the ship, Spock is concerned because the Captain is long overdue decides to beam down to the planet. What Kirk and Spock don't know is that there is an underground civilization run completely by Vulcans and Vulcan-Erders who seclude themselves form the surface dwellers. When Kirk was trying to get permission to beam down, the underground people picked up the transmission and they thought that Mr.Spock was being held against his will, and they felt it was their duty to save him... After a lot of exchanges of information between Spock and the Vulcan-Erders, they discover that he is not being held against his will, but is there by choice. They find his loyalty to an Earth person hard to understand. What surprises them even more is that an Earth person could in turn be so loyal to Spock. The bond that these two have for each other changes the entire course of history for this planet. The story is well-plotted out and really has a lot to say about friendship, loyalty, and how important those traits are. I would recommend this zine highly. [1]
