  Episode Summary  
While on a routine expedition to Omega 4, the Enterprise arrives to find another starship, the U.S.S. Exeter, in orbit circling the planet. Kirk and a party go to the ship and find it abandoned and everyone on board completely drained of water leaving behind only bodily minerals. They check the log and are warned not to return to their ship, so go to the surface of the planet and find Captain Tracey... who is now in charge of the local civilization.

  Episode Quotes  
(after Spock does a Vulcan nerve pinch)
Kirk: A pity you can’t teach me that.
Spock: I have tried, Captain.
 
Kirk: Don't they ever rest?
Spock: Not that I have observed, Captain. Of course, should they wish to do so, one could always rest while the other keeps you occupied.
Kirk: Thank you, Spock.
 
McCoy: I hardly think it's worth it.
Kirk: Then anything you develop here as a result of all this is useless.
McCoy: Who knows? It might eventually cure the common cold, but lengthen lives? Poppycock. I can do more for you if you just eat right and exercise regularly.
 
  Episode Goofs  
Although he is killed in this episode by Captain Tracey, Lt. Galloway (David L. Ross) would later return without explanation in "Turnabout Intruder".
 
Kirk takes a massive blow across the head when Cloud Williams nails him with an iron bar. That kind of injury would leave a concussion, if not a skull fracture. Kirk is only mildly bothered for a few minutes then ignores it for the rest of the episode.
 
  Episode References  
Although the Exeter is hit with a virulent biological plague and its crew killed, the starship is left intact and there's every reason to believe that it was decontaminated and put back into service, rather than scrapped. Thus it isn't considered one of the starships destroyed during the Enterprise's five-year mission.
