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 72 - That Which Survives

In this episode, the Enterprise discovers a planet whose young age is inconsistent with its atmosphere and biology. As Kirk, McCoy, Sulu and geologist D'Amato begin to beam down, a beautiful woman appears in the transporter room, who touches the transporter technician, killing him instantly. As the landing party materializes, the surface of the planet is rocked by a violent tremor. Communication with the Enterprise is lost and they realize they are stranded. At the same time, the Enterprise finds itself 990.7 light years from the planet.
