Geocache Description:


THERE IS NOTHING AT THE POSTED COORDINATES SO I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND GOING THERE. All containers have Rite in the Rain log sheets. When stopping please try not to interfere with the flow of traffic.

I remember how much I enjoyed watching the original Star Trek series when I was younger. Over the years I have continued to watch the various Star Trek series and movies and I have many favourite episodes and movies. This series of puzzles relates only to the 79 episodes of the original series not including the pilot episode.

Episode 8 - Miri

In this episode, the Enterprise answers an automated distress call from a planet resembling Earth in every detail. A landing party of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Yeoman Janice Rand and two security personnel find an abandoned, 1960 Earth. When they examine a tricycle they are attacked by a strong, disfigured man. After Kirk hits the man three times, the man has a seizure and dies. A mysterious figure catches their attention, and they investigate. They discover a adolescent Miri, who ran away from them because "grups" killed and maimed children before dying. She and her friends are "onlies". The landing party, except for Spock, develop purple lesions on their bodies; Miri tells them that these are the first signs of the disease and that they will soon become like the other adults. The landing party determine the "children" are over 300 years old, aging one month every century.
