Synopsis:
Five families assigned to a lonely science colony are found brutally murdered on Triacus, survived
only by increasingly paranoid log records and their children -- left unhurt and oddly
unaffected. While being ferried to new homes, the unusually well-tempered youths turn out be in
contact with the last Triacus native alive, the malevolent Gorgan, who pretends to be their friend
in order to use them as his stooges and take over the starship for his own ends. Gorgan had been
the killer of their parents, but Kirk has to find a way to break the fear-driven hallucinations
gripping his crew before they suffer the same fate.
