"Monsters come in many forms." - Doctor Leonard McCoy

Captain Kirk and Commander Spock are surveying Argus X for natural deposits of tritanium when the air is suddenly filled with a sweet oder. Kirk stops working and remembers the exact same smell from somewhere else, long ago. He then looks very worried and orders their security detail to sweep the area for signs of smoke. Moments later, all but one of them are found dead and the other in critical condition. After beaming back aboard, Kirk orders the Enterprise to remain in orbit of Argus X against standing orders from Starfleet and has the crew begin to scan the planet for the source of that smoke. As more people die following Kirk's orders to scour the planet surface in search of the daedly phenomenon, Spock and Doctor McCoy start to become worried about Kirk's sudden obsession with something from his past that he seems to believe is alive.

"An entire race which feeds on fear and terror would find a perfect hunting ground on Argelius." - Commander Spock

The Enterprise is docked at Argelius II to allow Commander Scott to recover from a severe accident. The psychological damage he suffered, and the fact that accident was the result of a female crewmember's error, caused Scotty to possess a temporary resentment towards all women. Doctor McCoy and Captain Kirk believes that the pleasures of Argelius will help speed Scotty's recovery and they send him off with one the female dancers that was entertaining the group. Shortly after, while outside the venue, Kirk and McCoy hear screaming and rush down an alley to find the dancer stabbed to death with Scotty standing over her holding a bloody dagger.

In honor of Paramount's AI Star Trek poster blunder, I have made custom movie posters for the original six movies.

Absolutely no AI, and very little artistic talent, was used in their creation. Enjoy:

BONUS #1: Star Trek Continues, episode 3 "Fairest of Them All"

Written by James Kerwin & Vic Mignogna, directed by James Kerwin.

Stardate unknown (December 2267)
(Entire episode takes place in the Mirror Universe)

"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.

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.
