Following an archeological mission on the long dead planet of Hespiredes I, the crew of the Enterprise finds themselves in the grip of a mysterious affliction – communicators are untrustworthy, people are hearing things that others never said, and tensions are hitting a boiling point. Captain Kirk instructs Uhura to investigate the cause of this communications breakdown, before she can begin, she’s shocked when Bright Eyes addresses her in Federation Standard!
