Enterprise is taking fire from something! Spock said each blast packs the punch of 90 torpedoes and they can take 4 hits. Enterprise can withstand 360 torpedoes?

They beam the culprit over and it’s a robot probe named Nomad

Nomad thinks Kirk is its creator

Nomad scans Uhura’s head. It says she’s defective and has chaotic thinking and is a mass of conflicting impulses. Take it easy Nomad

Nomad zaps Scotty! Scotty’s dead?

Don’t worry, Nomad repairs Scotty

Nomad says it wiped Uhura’s memory!? No one seems that worried about it. They just say they’ll reteach her everything. Some memories can’t really be retaught. She still seems to know Swahili, maybe she remembers some stuff

Spock does a mind meld with Nomad

Nomad had the mission to find new life but it combined with another probe it came across that had a mission of sterilizing soil. So now Nomad eliminates all life that isn’t perfect!

Kirk says it’s like a “changeling”: a fairy that would assume the role of a baby. Ehh, it’s not really like that

Nomad stops by engineering and makes them go warp 11

Kirk talks Nomad into destroying itself, which is how something like 90% of bad computers die.
