(The Enterprise encounters a planet full of dead people, a ship full of dead Klingons, and old woman Nal, a prisoner who cannot be approached because of a nightmare barrier. Another summary: The Enterprise finds a Klingon ship orbiting a class M planet. All aboard the ship are dead as a result of murder or suicide. The only survivor from the planet, found in the brig of the Klingon ship, is an ancient female humanoid, the Nal. She appears to be the cause of all the deaths. No one can communicate with her or even approach her as she is surrounded by a terror field. As the Nal slowly dies, McCoy defies his Captain and risks his own life in an attempt to save her life.)

* one the LoCs by Mary Lou Dodge discussed Uhura's first name: "A friend consulted with a Tanzanian professor who is a Swahili expert: the Swahlll noun for Love is Upendo, but when it is made into a name the U is dropped. Since, the expert said, Uhura is not really correct Swahili (well, language changes over a couple centuries), the first name would probably be English feminized like the last name -- Penda Uhura. (Information provided by Dr. Richard Kurtz, Notre Dame University."
