The remains of nineteen crashed starships have been found scattered across the planet's surface, pulled out of orbit by some unknown force. And now the survey team has gone missing. Assembling a rescue party, including a wet-behind-the-ears Ensign Chekhov, Kirk sets out to search a complex cave system, only to find that dilithium-powered equipment is useless.
