It's been an exhausting, but rewarding, time for the starship Enterprise. Meeting intelligent dinosaurs, fighting a super-criminal, and defeating the Romulans has thrilled each and every one of us, but it has tired us out, too. So it is now a pleasure to comply with Starfleet Command's order to bring a new member of the Federation back to their home in the Garr system, while giving them a tour of our mighty ship. The ambassadors from the planet Garrus seem harmless enough, their child-like size and innocent faces have charmed almost everyone, but sometimes they seem just a little too harmless." Gardis, the leading ambassador from Garrus, meets with Captain Kirk, and points out that Dr. McCoy has shown them sickbay, Spock has shown them crew quarters and recreation areas, Scott has shown them the engine room, Sulu the laboratories, and Chekov the transporter room. He asks to see the computer, finding the "machine brains most fascinating". Kirk assigns Uhura to the task at their request, especially since he will be busy planning the orbit about their planet. Spock contacts Kirk, asking him to report to the bridge, as they are approaching the planet. Kirk responds, asking Spock to have Uhura report to the ambassadors immediately. On the bridge, Kirk expresses relief at their approach, commenting that the Garrusians were a bit hard to deal with and that "you find yourself either apologizing or forgiving them". The rest of the bridge crew, other than Scott, agree with the sentiment. Suddenly the alarm sounds as a shuttlecraft is reported missing by security officer Frank Tanka. He also reports that the ambassadors and Uhura are missing. Despite McCoy's misgivings, Kirk beams down to the planet with Spock, Chekov, and Sulu. On the planet, they arrive in Gartin, home to the "famous Mile-long Hall of Worship". There, they meet Garmin, the president of Garrus. They enter the hall, marveling at its size. Garmin notes that their riches and real estate is for Federation use, it is only a matter of trade. When Kirk tells Garmin of their mission to find Uhura, Garmin tells him that he is sure that Gardis and Uhura are alright, and that it must be a big mistake. They enter a large room, where Garmin tells them to enjoy themselves, telling them that it is "just a token of [their] belief and worship of the almighty Master." Kirk demands Uhura's return. Garmin is stunned at his knowledge, and Kirk reveals that he spoke too much earlier in the conversation, knowing Uhura's name before Kirk told him. Garmin tells them that Uhura is with the Master and that they will never get her back. As Kirk contacts Scotty to beam down the security detail with Tanka, Garmin orders the away team subdued. Sulu and Chekov are quickly disabled, but Spock and Kirk manage to escape into the hall, where Spock spots a huge locked door. They pick the lock and open the door into an enormous room. Inside the room, they discover that it is filled with computers, the "greatest array of scientific equipment" Spock has ever seen. On one view screen, they spot Gardis wearing religious robes and conducting a ceremony. Behind him stand Uhura, Chekov, and Sulu. They are being given to the Master. It turns out that the Garusians worship the huge computer as their god, and that they were using the Humans to manage the computer, something that they were forbidden to discuss with any outsider. Kirk promises to have the Federation send computer experts to assist them. Memorable quotes"Captain, please. The Vulcan race is known for more than our mind blocks and nerve pinches. When my race is faced with a problem, we pride ourselves on solving it.""You mean, you're going to pick the lock?""A crude way of putting it captain. I prefer the idea that I'm going to discover the necessary secret to unlock the door."- Spock and Kirk, arguing semantics Background informationThis story was released three times during the Peter Pan Records run.

Nearly all of the book auction sales can be combined for economical shipping with a few exceptions (e.g., the early "numbered" Star Trek book auctions where I've already combined ~50 books together so those boxes are already pretty big and heavy so I have specifically excluded those very few auctions from a combined shipping option). Please note that this combined shipping option is available for domestic US customers by simply waiting for me to gather your auction wins together and quote you a revised shipping cost. Do not pay the automated eBay invoice if you buy more than one item, please allow me to combine your items and quote you an economical combined shipping price. Unfortunately eBay prohibits sellers from direct invoicing or combining shipping for international buyers; in fact, we aren't allowed to be involved in what they charge you. If you buy more than one item as an international buyer, the eBay automated system mindlessly adds all the individual shipping costs up when, in fact, your items could have been combined for a shipping cost saving. If this happens to you, please message me and I have a way of remedying that situation. For domestic buyers, if you buy more than one item during any given week, do not pay the automated eBay invoice that is issued at the auction close, rather please wait for me to issue you a combined shipping invoice. Please note that given I am selling nearly 400 books, I will need the following day to work out how to combine your multiple auction wins. Luckily, nearly all these Star Trek books qualify for economical Media Mail shipping although I did provide on occasion either a First Class or Priority Mail shipping option if you need the items quickly. I have provided numerous photos of the books so please inspect those photos carefully for any issues before you make a purchase. I have attempted to grade the books using the ABE Books system and note any major flaws with the volumes. I have provided a lot of photos for you to examine to inspect the condition of any given item. I am also selling my entire historical geological reference library (also numbering in the hundreds), movie posters, and other interesting books in preparation for retirement so if you are interested, please see those auctions also. Please consider All Sales to be Final, with no returns. Please be sure that this is the item you are looking for prior to bidding. If you have any questions about the content or condition of an item, please ask prior to placing a bid. Thanks.
