When word gets around, many colonies begin to open trade with Khan’s colony, and begin to settle on the planet. While Kirk is apprehensive that Khan will use this swell of support to try and establish an interstellar Khanate, the colonists defend Khan, feeling that living under his rule is just as good as living under the Federation.

    "Honor for Auridea" - Uhura lives a day-to-day 1960s life with her husband M’Benga, who works in medical advertising for his boss, Mr. McCoy, while Uhura's neighbours suspect her of being a witch. Meanwhile Kirk, Spock, Chekov and Sulu play as superheroes under the instructions of Detective Scotty. The crew has not lost their minds. Instead, they have all been asked to reenact various 1960s television shows for an alien audience called the Aurideans after a survey ship with such media crash landed on the planet Auridea over thirty years ago. Most of it being lost in the crash aside from the small amount the aliens were able to partially save, and the Aurideans would like to watch these various forms of entertainment. However, the crew of the Enterprise have never seen those television episodes before and must improvise.

    (the shows referenced are Bewitched, Batman, The Green Hornet and Hawaii Five-O)

    "Reap The Whirlwind" - Scotty, Chekov, and Sulu win a competition for a groundbreaking achievement. While they are treated as celebrities among the crew, a rival feels they plagiarized his idea. However, Scotty, Chekov and Sulu believe its pure chance that their ideas are the same. Its later revealed that the truth is in the middle as an ambitious engineer under Scotty’s tutelage stole the blueprint and passed it off as his own idea to inspire them. With the decision reversed, other rivals come out of the woodwork and accuse the trio of plagiarism and give the crew of the Enterprise a major headache.

She and Kirk reminisce about old times and she tells a few embarrassing tales about "Slim Jim" Kirk's teenage exploits. McCoy is amused and Spock bemused. Both find young Kirk's adventures at odds with the man they know, For Kirk though, something is off about Jane. She's awfully interested in the Enterprise's latest mission. It comes to light Jane is actually a deep cover Romulan agent who replaced the real Jane Anderson years ago and "Jane" actually wants to defect. Will Kirk help her?

    "Here's Mudd In Your Eye" - Enterprise receives a distress call from "Leo Walsh" (Mudd's old alias), who has been captured by the Klingons without them knowing who he is (if they did, they'd demand some kind of bounty for him from the highest bidder). Kirk, uninterested in such things, is convinced when Mudd claims he can give them a data card with information on Klingon armaments, and, along with other crew, takes on the guise of Klingons and allows himself to be rescued by Kro'hera, the female captain of the ship. He then proceeds to challenge them to a drinking contest, which, when they pass out, will allow them to extract Mudd and the data card.

    “From Iowa, With Love” - Kirk receives a private subspace communication that he won't share within anyone else. As McCoy, Spock, and Scott are openly teases Kirk by speculating amongst themselves about it, an emergency subspace signal comes in—planet in distress.

    The Enterprise arrives at the planet in distress, a new Federation member, Mu Ceti IV, a planet of humanoids. Upon beaming down, Kirk learns that the crisis is that the planetary President's daughter, Adrya, has run away. State security is unable to locate her. Kirk is annoyed, but Spock points out that the situation is potentially volatile and has interplanetary implications, as dissidents on Mu Ceti V are suspected. Kirk agrees to get involved, with Spock taking charge of the investigation.

    Spock uploads the Adrya's computer memories and can find no clue as to what has happened to her. Uhura studies Adrya's diary and reports that the young lady seemed profoundly depressed at losing her friends when her mother was thrust into politics after having been merely a popular activist. The President is urging the Enterprise to head for Mu Ceti V to investigate the dissidents, but Kirk has other ideas. Kirk gets Spock to confirm it highly unlikely that Adrya has left Mu Ceti IV through computer analysis of all departing craft and orders Spock and McCoy to beam down with him disguised as locals to the neighborhood where Adrya's old friends are. They visit the house of her best friend Zeann, under color of presidential authority on behalf of Adrya, on pretense to contact her on personal business for the first daughter. Zeann's mother is suspicious but cooperative given their credentials which she has had confirmed. She tells Kirk and company that Zeann lives near the university. The three depart and Kirk now has a working theory, that Adrya is with Zeann.

    They arrive near the university and discover a police scene. Police have surrounded a skyscraper and the President is on the ground. She comes to meet Kirk. Adrya is on a ledge on the skyscraper, threatening to jump. "My god," Kirk gasps. The President deduced Kirk's trail when his credentials were validated by Zeann's mother. Adrya refuses to see her mother. Spock informs Kirk that the Cetians lack the antigravity technology to assuredly stop Adrya's fall. Kirk agrees to see Adrya and goes up the tower.

    He steps out onto the tower's ledge with Adrya.

    "I know you can beam me up to your starship," says Adrya. "I'm not stupid, you know. If you stop me this time, I'll just try again, or do something else, sometime in the future."

    Kirk is impressed. "All right. I'm just here to talk."

    Adrya tells Kirk that her mother cut her off from all of her friends. It was no longer allowed to remain in touch with them, because the dissidents on Mu Ceti V had threatened to get to the first family. Adrya doesn't believe her mother even tried to work out security. She doesn't believe her mother thinks it's important, that she's important. She's begun failing in school, she's profoundly unhappy, and the tutors can't help. Her mother doesn't believe there's a problem.

    "People make mistakes," replies Kirk. He tells her about the letter he received from Iowa, from his mother. Winona opposed him entering Starfleet. She knew it was dangerous and she learned from her experience with Sam that she'd have to press Jim very hard to stay out of the service. This hurt James and caused a rift between him and his mother. He pushed himself hard and pushed himself away from her. He came to distrust family. He's never married and he likely never will. The letter is of his mother telling him that she loves him and is proud that he's now the captain of a starship, something he always wanted. She's sorry that she tried to put her own needs ahead of his, that she felt her judgment was best, that it was safest for him to remain on Earth.

    Kirk tells Adrya that he knows her mother loves her. She's letting him, a practical stranger, come to speak with her, because she doesn't know what else to do. Adrya's mother appears behind Kirk and tells them both that she is resigning. Adrya will be free to go where she wants again, she will no longer be a pawn of politics. There are many who can lead, but no one can replace her daughter. With Adrya agreeing, Kirk has them beamed to the ship.

    Later, Kirk and Spock are present in their Starfleet uniforms, in the office with the president and first daughter as the office is being cleaned out. Adrya thanks Kirk for sharing the letter from his mother and assures Kirk that she will be alright. This piques Spock's interest in the contents of the letter. The former president hugs Kirk. Kirk assures Spock that the contents of the letter will remain private, just between the four of them. Spock raises an eyebrow, and he and Kirk exit.

    "To Endlessly Wound Another Man's Pride" - The Enterprise responds to a distress signal from a colony world where the governor, a former Starfleet Commodore who left Starfleet in disgrace is in over his head du to ongoing pirate raids, civil unrest from a populace who has no faith in his leadership, and now an alien race who lays claim to the planet. Kirk learns the so called "pirates" are just former Starfleet officers who served with the governor in his Commodore days and now have an axe to grind, and they are also stirring the civil unrest, while the aliens just heard about the governor's weak leadership and want to mess with him. Acting in the colony's and therefore the sector's best interests, Kirk invokes some obscure Starfleet regulation granting him the power to remove the governor from authority and appoint a new governor. The old governor seethes in rage as he sees the new governor do a massively better job than he.

    "The Belt of Orion" - Aboard the shuttlecraft Hubble, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are carrying vital concentrated nutrient complexes intended as a peace offering to the neutral Orions when the shuttle is captured by Orion outcasts and taken to their base in an asteroid field. The outcast Orions have been depleted of resources, are starving, and will perish without a new source of food. The Orion government does not intend to help the outcasts. They take no interest at all, as the outcasts have no power and control nothing of value. But the outcasts will not release their valuable hostages, now that they have them.

    Meanwhile, Scott has been ordered to rescue the hostages in a military assault even though the outcasts have vowed to kill the hostages at the first sign of a move against them. The Orion government is also threatening to assault, putting Scott on a tight timetable to rescue Kirk, Spock, and McCoy before it's too late.

    "Laura" - Kirk is summoned to the planet Vitor III to present the case for Federation membership. He and his landing party are guests at an athletic tournament open to many different peoples. Off to the side of the action is a young woman in a cage.

    "This Hallowed Isle" - The Enterprise encounters a world covered in water with no landmass, save for one exception, a floating island. As soon as Kirk, Spock and Bones beams down to the island, they are immediately placed in a cell. As away teams are sent to recue them, they too are placed in cells. As Scotty works to find a way to get the away teams back - as their location cannot be found on sensors - Kirk, Spock and Bones all question who build this and where are they. Meanwhile Uhura, Sulu and Chekov work together to try to decipher reoccurring wind chimes and crescendos being heard all across the ship as a hidden language.

    “The Towers of Babel” - Following the success of the inaugural Babel Conference, a second conference is held, with Enterprise once again transporting attendees. A mystery ensues when monoliths appear on the planet, with no explanation. Further, some attendees become ill, while others begin to fight each other. McCoy and Spock determine that the monoliths are beginning an alien terraforming process which will render the neutral planet hostile to all life in a short time. Enterprise must evacuate Babel, treat the ill, pacify the violent, and stop the terraforming. They may need to make contact with the aliens to do so. (Sarek and Spock are more able to withstand the effects of the process, so they're not out for the count like in "Journey to Babel")

    I believe one of the non-profit FARRAGUT fan films used that exact title.....though in truth I'd never encountered it in real-life. At the moment, I'm in creative-funk here, but good luck on this one.:cool:
