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 64 - The Tholian Web

In this episode, the Enterprise enters an uncharted region of space while searching for her sister ship, the USS Defiant, which has been missing for three weeks. Sensors detect what seem to be fractures in space, and an unexplained power loss affects all systems. The Defiant is found adrift, and Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Chekov transport across wearing environmental suits for protection. Aboard Defiant, they find the entire crew dead, apparently having killed one another. The boarding party discovers that the Defiant is slowly dissolving. At one point, McCoy is able to pass his hand through an almost invisible man and a table. With limited transporter functionality due to the unexplained malfunctions, Kirk orders his men to return to Enterprise first.
