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 47 - The Immunity Syndrome

In this episode, the Enterprise is en route to Starbase 6 for rest and relaxation. Uhura receives a garbled distress call, containing a sector coordinate and the name of the ship, the USS Intrepid, crewed entirely by Vulcans. In answer to a question about the Intrepid, Spock, replies with a shocked look that the Intrepid has "died". Starfleet sends a priority message to Kirk and orders him to investigate Sector 39J where contact has been lost with the Gamma 7A system, also the last known position of the Intrepid. Arriving there, Chekov reports that the sensors show no life readings in the system of a billion inhabitants.
