Plotline
The Enterprise joins the USS Farragut on a mission to to repair a deuterium refinery. During the mission, ensign Uhura begins experiencing hallucinations of strange noises and frightening images, including the deaths of her parents and that of former Enterprise engineer Hemmer.
Pelia discovers that the refinery has been sabotaged. Saul Ramon, the officer responsible is taken to sickbay; he exhibits symptoms similar to Uhura's. Ramon escapes and attempts to sabotage the Enterprise. Uhura pursues him and unsuccessfully attempts to calm him down; James Kirk, visiting from the Farragut, rescues her before Ramon is blown into space by an explosion.
Uhura discusses her hallucinations with Kirk and he helps her realise that she needs to confront her grief about her parents and Hemmer rather than ignoring them. With the help of Kirk and his brother Sam, a xenoanthropologist, Uhura realises that her hallucinations are messages from aliens who live in the deuterium and that they are being killed by the refinery. She reports her theory to Pike and he orders the refinery destroyed.
Uhura later introduces James Kirk to Spock.
