The ''Enterprise'' is investigating the destruction of several planetary systems when they come across the crippled starship, the U.S.S ''Constellation''. The only person on board is Commodore Matthew Decker, the ship's captain. Through the disturbed captain's rantings and the pre-recorded [[Captain's Log]], Kirk and co. deduce that after the ship was severely damaged, the entire crew was beamed down to a local planet, the captain taking the duty of going down with the ship after seeing to his crew's safety. However, a planet destroying weapon constructed long ago by a long dead race destroys the very planet where the captain thought his crew would be safe, leaving him alive and grieving. While Kirk, Scotty and a small repair crew stay on board the ''Constellation'', Decker is beamed back with McCoy.
