I should warn you . . . This one starts with a BANG!
That's the voice of Jimmy Doohan (Scotty)

As usual, Kirk finds a way around the Prime Directive.
This time, in my opinion, he does the right thing.

It would have been interesting to see a
continuation of this episode to witness these
people arriving at their new home.
I wonder if McCoy and Natira would
pick up where they left off...

Update!!!

The story of McCoy and Natira meeting again has been written!
The book is called 'Ex Machina' and you can read a bit
about it by clicking HERE.

Don't forget to come back here and
keep listening to the WAVs!!
