When the Enterprise begins harvesting deuterium in a strange nebula, Uhura begins experiencing strange hallucinations that foretell of an impending doom.
With the threat of an impending war with the Gorn looming in the background, Starfleet has sent the Enterprise and Farragut to the Bannon nebula to oversee the construction of a deuterium refinery. However, things keep falling behind, and nobody is entirely sure why that keeps happening. Things then get very weird when Ensign Uhura begins hearing strange sounds and experiences hallucinations concerning a dead crew member and her family. Lieutenant James T. Kirk pays a visit from the Farragut, and he might just be able to help her figure out what is going on. Join us on Warp Trails as we break down this episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
