"James T. Kirk chose his path. It is time we choose ours." - Spock

After Prime Captain James Kirk and his team restore themselves back to their own universe, their Mirror counterparts return to the ISS Enterprise. The Terran Captain Kirk immediately orders a torpedo barrage of the Halkin homeworld due to their refusal to turn over the planet's immense dilithium deposits. This results in cascading explosions within the dilithium substrate that slowly starts to rip the entire planet apart. This misstep, combined with the words of the peaceful version of Captain Kirk, encourages Commander Spock and Lieutenant Moreau (Asia DeMarcos) to sow descent among the crew, professing that peaceful coexistence is the only future for the beleaguered Terran Empire.

"In every revolution, there is one man with a vision." - Captain James Kirk

Captain James Kirk, Commander Scott, Doctor McCoy, and Lieutenant Uhura are on the Halken homeworld negotiating for dilithium mining rights. The Halkens absolutely refuse to allow it. The leader of the Halkin Council, Tharn (Vic Perrin) cites the possibility that, while the Federation is a peaceful organization now, they do not know how they might use the dilithium in the future. Dejected, but not defeated, Kirk insists on further talk in spite of the Halkins' unyielding code of ethics and the landing party returns to the ship due to a building ion storm. While beaming aboard, the ion storm causes interference and the landing party's patterns seem to disappear. Instead, they step off the transporter and onto an Enterprise that is the same... but different.

Written by John Meredyth Lucas, directed by Marc Daniels.

Stardate 3541.9 (December 2267)

"I am perfect. I am Nomad." - Nomad

The Enterprise responds to a distress call sent from the Malurian System, which has since fallen silent. Commander Spock scans the system meant to have over 4 billion people and finds it to be completely devoid of humanoid life. In their place a tiny object floating in space starts firing powerful bolts of energy at the ship. Captain Kirk send a desperate request for peaceful communication and, after several failed translation attempts, gets a response. A being referring to itself as Nomad (Vic Perrin) requests a meeting with Kirk, specifically. Nomad is beamed aboard the ship and to everyone's surprise, instead of tiny beings inside a tiny craft, Nomad is itself a mechanical device of some kind. One that strangely resembles something launched from Earth over 250 years ago.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." - Commander Scott

The Enterprise is sent to Capella IV to negotiate mining rights for a rare and essential mineral. They arrive under a warning that Klingons have been seen operating in the sector. Captain Kirk leaves Commander Scott in command, and beams down to the surface with an away team. Just as they offer their greetings to the very particular and ceremonial Capellan people, a Klingon steps forward revealing that they had arrived first and want to secure mining rights on Capella IV in Starfleet's place.
