Star Trek: The Lost Missions—Episode 1:
GoldiSpock and the Three Bears (PART 6)

Last time on Star Trek: The Lost Missions

Spock, Uhura, and Chekhov followed the trail of bread crumbs and arrived at the cottage. Inside they found a scene of destruction, as well a some delicious porridge. Also inside were additional bread crumbs and heavy metal tankards containing a red liquid. After exploring the entire place, they all fell asleep on the smallest of the three beds on the second floor. Meanwhile, Kirk and McCoy met three bears who turned out to be the owners of the cottage. Having discovered how the structure ended up on the planet, Kirk and McCoy were ready to return to the ship but couldn't because of malfunctioning equipment and missing crew members. The Bears agreed to help them and they headed off into the forest, in the direction of the cottage.

And now the continuation...

The whistling call of the Enterprise's communications system filled the bridge as blue-clad science officers and red-clad engineers scurried around trying to isolate the cause of the equipment failure. Hikaru Sulu perked up in the captain's chair and hoped that this was good news. He had been waiting an hour and 59 minutes for a solution. Time was running out.
  He reached down to the arm of the chair and pressed the flashing button. "This is the bridge," he said.
  "Good news, laddie," said Scotty in a cheerful voice, "I've found the problem."
  "Good work, sir. How soon can you have everything operational?"
  "Well," Scotty replied with hesitation, "before I can do that we'll have to make a wee trip down to the planet."
  "The planet?" Sulu said in surprise.
  "Yes, sir," confirmed Scotty. "I got the short range sensors partially functioning again, but couldn't do anything with the communications or the long range sensors. And I still can't pick up any lifesigns. But I did find something unusual."
  "What is it, sir?"
  "There's some kind of transmitter on the surface that is jamming our sensors and communications equipment. It appears to be rather advanced. It can't be indigenous to this planet, and it certainly isn't ours."
  "If it's jamming our sensors, how did you cut through with the short range ones?" asked Sulu.
