Trama

Data Stellare 5730.2: Giungendo a bordo dell'Enterprise con una navetta rubata ad una base stellare, Lokai, un alieno mezzo bianco e mezzo nero, chiede protezione. Poco tempo dopo, anche Bele, suo inseguitore e suo simile, arriva a bordo e presto tra i due inizia una cruenta e inspiegabile lotta basata su pregiudizi razziali.

Note

• Lee Cronin è lo pseudonimo di Gene L. Coon.
• Riferendosi al pianeta di Lokai, a [T:06:34] Kirk lo colloca «in the southernmost part of the galaxy», utilizzando un termine geografico un po' opinabile.

YATI

• Pare che anche la base stellare 4 disponga di navette il cui numero di matricola è 1701.

Citazioni

Kirk: Mr. Spock, is this ship headed for Ariannus?
Spock: Negative, Captain. The Enterprise is moving in now a circular course.
Scott: And at warp 10, we're going nowhere mighty fast. [T:28:26]

Spock: Two irrevocably hostile fumanoids.
Scott: Disgusting is what I call them.
Spock: That description is not scientifically accurate. [T:30:14]

Sulu: No one knows how he'll act under pressure. [T:31:04]

Lokai: You're from the planet Earth. There is no persecution on your planet.
Chekov: There was persecution on Earth once; I remember reading about it in my history class. [T:31:18]

Bele: It is obvious to the most simple-minded that Lokai is of an inferiore breed.
Spock: The ovious visual evidence, Commissioner, is that he is of the same «breed» as yourself.
Bele: Are you blind, Commander Spock? Well, look at me. Look at me.
Kirk: You are black on one side and white on the other.
Bele: I am black on the right side.
Spock: I fail to see the significant difference...
Bele: Lokai is white on the right side. All of his people are white on the right side. [T:34:20]

Spock: Change is the essential process of all existence. [T:35:47]

Spock: The actual theory is that all life forms evolved from the lower levels to the more advanced stages. [T:36:23]
