[edit] Introduction (blurb)
Ravaged by a killer virus, the Romulans enter Canara, where the only antidote can be found. Desperate, they incite a victorious Enterprise attack on one of their vessels - but Kirk discovers their ruse.
Meanwhile, the central computer has fallen in love with him, severely crippling the Enterprise. Now Kirk must bring the antidote to the Romulans - before the galaxy crashes over the brink of war!

[edit] Information
[edit] Related stories
- The Enterprise is still suffering from the computer malfunction which plagued the ship in this episode following a layover at Cygnet XIV.
- In this episode, the Enterprise became the first Federation starship in nearly a century to encounter a Romulan vessel. Because of this encounter, Kirk and his crew were considered experts in the tactical psychology of the Romulans.
- There is referenced to the Klingon-Romulan alliance as initially discussed and seen in the episode. However, as this story takes place before the episode, it could be suggested that the alliance had been in existence since 2267.
- There is a reference made about the danger of games such as chess becoming a reality, and Kirk referred to his experience on Triskelion. Again this episode takes place after the stated timeframe.
