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 60 - Is There in Truth No Beauty?

In this episode, the Enterprise is assigned to escort Medusan ambassador Kollos and psychologist Miranda Jones to a rendezvous with a Medusan vessel. Medusans are non-humanoid creatures whose outward appearance causes humanoids who see them to go insane. Kollos travels in a carrier to hide him from view, and Spock assists as necessary using a special visor which allows his Vulcan psychology to withstand the sight of Kollos. At a private dinner with Kirk and the senior officers, Jones, a telepath, explains her assignment, which is to attempt a mind link with Kollos, in the hope of allowing humans to utilize the unique senses and navigational abilities of Medusans to improve starship technology. Lawrence Marvick, an associate of Jones, makes his way to Kollos's quarters with a phaser to kill him, but is overcome by the sight of the Medusan before he can fire. Now insane, Marvick rushes to Engineering, overpowers Scotty and other crew members, and takes control of the engines. The Enterprise quickly accelerates past Warp Factor 9, which takes it far outside of the galaxy and into a strange swirling void.
