Akuta

A is for Akuta but who is he? Akuta is a childlike character who cries in Star Trek's classic episode "The Apple" except something is afoot! When the USS Enterprise crew beam down to a tropical paradise, Poisonous darts, explosive rocks, lightening storms and a spooky native lurking in the bushes greet the away team.


The village leader Akuta is easily recognized by his antennae given to him during the "dim time" by Vaal and looks quite harmless. The "Eyes of Vaal" observe and communicate with an almighty super computer keeping it aware of the strangers activities. Soon the order is given to kill. The question you've got to ask yourself is who's calling the shots on Gamma Trianguli VI?




Spock analysis reveals Vaal's cave is protected by a forcefield! Unless Kirk discovers Vaal's Achilles heel time will run out for the USS Enterprise spaceship trying to break free in orbit. The fun begins when the "Feeders of Vaal" are summoned to the feeding place. What will Spock and Kirk try next? How do you exhaust a super computers power source?







It would appear Yeoman Landon is too distracted with Chekov whispering in her ear to be even even slightly concerned about Vaal. Who could blame them taking advantage of shoreleave, chilling out on in this idyllic setting. Trouble is, Gamma Trianguli VI is not what it appears to be.

Chekov: If you insist on worrying, worry about me. I've been wanting to get you in a place like this for a long time.


Is Vaal really immortal?
