“The Naked Time” 60th-anniversary reflections
The Enterprise arrives at the dying world of Psi 2000 to evacuate the Federation outpost and observe the planet’s disintegration. Spock and Lieutenant Tormolen return to the ship, beaming back after trying to ascertain the whereabouts of the outpost’s crew. The Lieutenant unknowingly brings back the same disease responsible for killing the outpost’s crew which threatens the crew of the Enterprise’s ability to stay alive while in such close orbit of the perishing world.
