The story opened with the original U.S.S. Enterprise, commanded by Captain James T. Kirk, monitoring a spatial rift anomaly of pure psionic energy near Delta Vega. Kirk is distressed by the anomaly's presence since this is the same place that Gary Mitchell and Elizabeth Dehner were mutated into god-like beings and eventually lost their lives (circa "Where No Man Has Gone Before"). The Enterprise was also receiving a subspace distress signal from beyond the rift. A ship appeared suddenly and was just as suddenly destroyed by an expansion of the rift, though Mr. Spock did manage to sensor scan the ship to indicate that it held seven "near-human" life forms.
