Synopsis:
A research colony along the Romulan Neutral Zone is found dead or dying of accelerated aging, and now all who were in the investigating landing party save one -- Chekov -- are showing the same symptoms. As Nurse Galway becomes the first to die, Kirk, Spock, Scotty and McCoy increasingly become frailer and more forgetful until Commodore George Stocker is forced to take command from a resentful, increasingly frail Captain Kirk. The ship's brain trust does its best to research a cause and cure, but Stocker's lack of command experience as a desk-bound administrator is glaringly obvious when he opts to take a shortcut across the Neutral Zone and then attracts a Romulan ambush without a back-up plan.
