"You never considered there may be another way. A better way." - Kirk
While investigating why power stations in the area are being drained, the Enterprise herself begins to lose power. At the same time they find an unknown object floating off the power station and identify it as the source of the power drain. Captain Kirk tries hailing it but as the ship gets close to completely losing power, he feels there is no choice but to destroy the object. Just after launching a torpedo, Spock identifies two life forms within the object. With the Enterprise almost dead, and Doctor McCoy protesting, Kirk allows the torpedo to reach its target and watch it explode. While they lament being forced to make a difficult choice, two alien materialize on the bridge - A very old Apollo and Athena. Everyone immediately assumes the worse, but then watch as Athena's last life force fades and she dies Apollo's arms... and Apollo announces he no longer seeks their worship but asks for their help.
