Description

The USS Enterprise is on a vital mission to Alpha Star Base with the only known antidote to a fatal space sickness. But hot on their heels is the Zargon 4 space ship, eager to have the antidote too. Will the Enterprise manage to get to Alpha Star Base with the antidote?

Summary

En route to deliver needed medicine, the Enterprise encounters meteoroids and a planet's gravity well. A Zargon starship fires missiles at the Enterprise, but the enemy craft is eventually destroyed and the Enterprise reaches the starbase.
