Star Trek: The Lost Missions—Episode 1:
GoldiSpock and the Three Bears (PART 7)

Last time on Star Trek: The Lost Missions

Scotty finally made some progress repairing the Enterprise's faltering systems. Locating a mysterious device on the planet that was jamming their transmissions, he and Sulu prepared to journey to the surface by shuttle to disable it. Meanwhile, Kirk and McCoy arrived at the cottage accompanied by the Bears. Inside they found that the place had been ransacked. When Spock, Uhura, and Chekhov were found napping on Baby Bear's bed, they became the prime suspects as well as the main course on the Bears' dinner menu.

And now the conclusion...

A strong wind blew through the forest, shaking the trees and causing some birds to fly away to safer perches as a small ship slowly descended from the sky.
  The ride down to the planet's surface was smooth and uneventful. Whatever it was that was jamming the ships transmissions, it seemed to have no effect on the shuttle's journey. Of course, the fact that they weren't trying to use sensors or communicate with anyone probably had a lot to do with this.
  The disturbance continued for several minutes and then suddenly ceased as the shuttle Galileo gently touched down and her engines cut off.
  Inside, Scotty and Sulu acted as if they were planning the next great crusade. Well, Sulu did. Scotty was just trying to figure which way to walk to get to the device and to make sure he had the right tools in his bag.
  They exited the shuttle and headed off into the forest in search of the device. The landing was spot-on and they found it laying in a small clearing a few hundred feet from the shuttle. What is it with small clearings on this planet, anyway? thought the narrator.
  "Look, sir," said Sulu, pointing. "I believe that's it over there."
  "I believe you're right, laddie," responded Scotty.
  "The design looks very familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
  "Looks familiar to me, too," agreed Scotty. "I've seen something like it before when we were assisting negotiations on Lentari III, near the Neutral Zone."
