"The heart is not a logical organ." - Dr. Janet Wallace

The Enterprise arrives at Gamma Hydra IV for a routine check-in of a Federation outpost and are met with silence. Investigating where everyone went, Ensign Chekov startles himself by stumbling upon the body of a very old man in a darkened room. As the landing party questions why such an old person would even be on the planet, they are greeted by two other elderly humans who insist they are only in their late 20s. When they return to the ship, issues with those who went down to the planet lead to a realization that they are all suddenly aging rapidly. All except for Chekov.

"It has been 5,000 years. Have you learned no patience in that time?" - Apollo

The Enterprise is scanning the Pollux system for signs of life and come across an energy field of unknown power that is in the shape of a human hand. Any attempt to evade it fails and the green hand literally grabs the Enterprise and holds it in place above Pollux IV. A face appears on the viewscreen of a being claiming to be the Greek god Apollo (Michael Forest), welcoming Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise "home."

FNP is closing — a short note from Kami

After almost three years of running this site largely on my own, I've made the decision to step away. This is about my own health and capacity, not any single event.

The server will be shutting down in 30 minutes or less from when you receive this message and i encourage you to share it and be aware. After that, the site will not return.

I'm grateful for every contribution that helped keep FNP online, and I'm sorry that what I can offer in return is this notice rather than more time.

If you want the longer account of what happened — for your own reading — it's here and i suggest everyone to read it: https://rentry.co/h2ch4wfr

Thank you to every genuine member who made this community what it was over the past three years. You're the part of this I'll remember.

— Kami

Written by D.C. Fontana & Nathan Butler, directed by Ralph Senensky.

Stardates 3417.3 through 3417.7 (December 2267)

"We've done nothing here. No accomplishments. No progress. Three years wasted." - Elias Sandoval

The Enterprise reluctantly arrives at Omicron Ceti III with the expectation to find all the colonists dead after it's found that the colony planet is being bombarded by Berthold rays - radiation that is deadly to humans and many other forms of life after only a week's exposure. Captain Kirk and a landing party beam down to assess the situation. To their bewilderment, they find all the colonists alive and in perfect health running their township without any technology or mechanical equipment. But the more they examine this little slice of paradise, in addition to not being able to figure out why everyone is still alive after three years, the more things don't add up.

"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all than wanting." - Commander Spock

The Enterprise is on course for Altair VI to take part in a show of power during an inauguration ceremony that would see the entire region become far more stabilized. En route, Spock begins to behave erratically but refuses to explain why. When Spock is finally convinced to allow Doctor McCoy to examine him, the Doctor emphatically pleads with Captain Kirk to divert the Enterprise to Vulcan ...or else Spock will be dead within a matter of days.
