The M-Class world K-7-12 unfolds below: a valley smothered in grey ash, lit by the faint, eerie glow of alien moss. The Enterprise dispatches a team, materializing amidst the ruins of a dead city. They find just one living being. Now, in the softly humming med-bay, that survivor lies on a warm, white cot. A soot-stained form stirs, eyelids fluttering open. Pupils dilate with shock; a sharp, ragged breath cuts the sterile, electric quiet.
