Game TOS Episode Pitch Game

“Thou Hast Searched me, and Known Me” - Enterprise is disabled by a planetary storm and crew members black out, some waking up in various locations - a blinding hot desert, a black void, a (not quite) abandoned house eerily similar to one character's childhood home. Each of these locales are tailored to the characters stuck there, to try their emotions, tug at their memories, and test their resolve. It is a psychological study of human/Vulcan motivations and resolve, enacted by aliens who wish to confront people with themselves. Meanwhile, those left on the Enterprise face challenges of their own trying to hold the ship together without experienced authority figures present.

Next episode: "The Third Voice "

 

“The Third Voice - Conducting welfare checks and resupply, the Enterprise is in route to Sector Delta 12-G and the Ultima Thule Colony located at the edge of Federation Space towards the Galactic rim. On the bridge, Kirk is strangely absent and Sulu has the center seat.
In the corridor outside of Kirk's quarters, McCoy and Spock almost literally run into each other. Both are concerned about Kirk's current mood They buzz and Kirk allows them to enter. They confront Kirk about his dark mood and correctly guess that it has to do with the loss of his old friend Gary Mitchell in this sector over four years ago. Kirk still feels guilty over what transpired and thinks there must have been away to save him. Spock, who was present when the events that lead to Mitchell's death transpired tells Kirk that he made the right choice. McCoy, who served with Mitchell and Kirk on the Farragut tells him Gary would approve of what he did.
After beaming down, the landing party discovers the colonists have come under the sway of a powerful psychic entity who has woven its self in their lives and minds. Kirk becomes convinced (or maybe the entity has convinced him) that the entity is all that remains of Gary Mitchell. It's up to Spock and McCoy to free Kirk and the colonists from the entity's grasp, even if it is Gary Mitchell.

Next Episode "Reap the Whirlwind"

 

"Reap the Whirlwind" - The Enterprise visits Ticu Orionis IV, a planet which was abandoned after a failed terraforming effort, and find a colony that shouldn't be there.

A scientist who was unaware of the secret experiments, but part of the original team, accompanies the crew on the mission. He finds a daughter that his wife, also part of the team, faked the death of, as she was one of the experiments. These people are incompatible with current humans, who are made ill from exposure to them, and they must deal with the consequences.

Next episode: "The Helot's Lament" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helots)

 

"The Helot's Lament"- The Enterprise picks up a distress signal from a pre-warp planet in the equivalent of Earth's 20th century. The planet used to have two warring factions on it, but one has conquered the other and subjected them to barbaric treatment, so this underclass built a space radio and broadcast a desperate plea for someone to help them. The debate among the crew over whether to violate the Prime Directive or let these people suffer is only exacerbated when a Klingon ship shows up, announcing they'll liberate the oppressed in exchange for the significant dilithium veins on the planet.

Next episode- "Throw The First Stone"

 

"Throw The First Stone" - The Enterprise and a Klingon ship are in pursuit of the same woman, a triple agent who shared intel from both factions with the Murari. Upon tracking her to the surface of a planetoid, they are prevented from seizing her by a mysterious energy field that envelops her and turns all attempts to harm her back on the one attacking. Also along for the ride is a Federation official whom she loved and betrayed, of course. What is the source of this field? Can the woman and her love reconcile? Can Kirk capture her without being harmed?

Next episode: "The Final Illusion"

 

The Final Illusion

Kirk & crew make contact with a new world that has sent out a distress signal, pleading for help from an imminent threat. As the away team interacts with the inhabitants, they find great difficulty in determining exactly who or what poses the threat to their world. As the hour of their expected attack gets closer, the people seem less willing to even acknowledge the crew. At zero hour, as mayhem seems to be breaking out among the community, Spock can detect no actual attack underway, and eventually determines that the people fleeing & perishing without cause are actually not real at all. Everything they've witnessed has been an elaborate, interactive program running of the final hours of their civilization, which they recorded for posterity.

Next Episode: The Sick and The Tired

 

The Sick and The Tired - McCoy marvels at a planet full of people in good health who wax nostalgic and wishfully about the days of illness and injury. Death still exists, but it has ceased to have meaning - nobody dies heroically, or after long suffering, or accidentally, so they know nothing of sacrifice, endurance, or caring for each other - it simply happens one day. Nalus, the last physician on the planet, has gone a little mad and wishes to bring war, disease, and suffering back to his people, who he feels have grown apathetic, self-centered, and are taking life for granted - even if that means provoking a conflict with the Federation.

Next episode: "Mudd's Folly"

 

"Mudd's Folly"- While on routine patrol the Enterprise receives a Priority One Distress Call on a restricted Starfleet frequency. The call originates on a non-Federation colony world. There they are surprise to find the originator of the call is their old "friend" Harcourt Fenton Mudd!
Mudd has got himself in a spot of bother with the world's settlers. People he has enticed (for a small fee) to the world with promises of riches and endless bounty. The world is a barren wasteland with no means to grow crops or resources to exploit. They are rightly perturbed. Mudd of course had planned to flee the world but a mechanical problem with his spacecraft left him stranded and at the settler's mercy.
Using his ship's comm system he sent out the Priorty One signal in hopes of attracting a Starfleet vessel. Once the vessel arrived he hoped to turn himself in for the crimes illegal possession of Starfleet codes and issuing a false distress signal. This would of course free him from the settlers' justice. The settlers are "go it alone" types who are distrustful and suspicious of the Federation and Starfleet. Because of this, the settlers are unwilling to turn Mudd over and Kirk feels they may be with in their rights, much to Harry's dismay.
Unknown to the settlers, Starfleet and Mudd the planet is the source of something very valuable which has attracted the attention of Orion pirates. Can the three parties set aside their differences and work together to defend the planet against the Orions? And what will Harry do when he finds out his "Folly" is actually a fortune?

Next Episode- "Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon"

 

@Nerys Myk I wish that was an episode.

"Arise, Fair Sun, and Kill the Envious Moon" - The Enterprise winds up in the crosshairs when the queen of Kifure, a planet they are visiting to pick up a shipment of gemstones, is struggling to hold onto power. The people of the planet, who venerated her like a goddess, are rioting against her because of terrible storms and tides that they believe are being sent as a curse for her dealings with the Federation. The planet's moon, which the people are worshipping instead of her (returning to an old religion) is causing the tidal waves. She wants to destroy it. Can Kirk and his crew move the moon and quell the riots?

Next episode: "The Truant of Kyre"

 

The Truant of Kyre

A young telepathic teen is found by the Enterprise crew, while responding to his crashed ship's distress signal. It's Spock that deduces the boy is absent without permission from his training facility, where he no longer wishes to be enrolled, because he feels himself ill equipped to become an officer in their fleet (hence the accident)

Some diplomatic difficulties arise when the boy's instructors wish him returned. He chooses to return only after coming to admire Spock's excellence in his duties, swearing to someday be like him

Next Episode: Only Among The Doomed

 

"Only Among The Doomed" - The Enterprise brings badly needed medical aid to a Federation planet that has been struck by a mysterious plague. McCoy becomes suspicious when all of the sufferers have one thing in common; they are all members of the planet's original species; Humans, Andorians, etc, are not succumbing. (You'd think those who originated there would have natural immunity, not newcomers.) The situation becomes even more tenuous when another race who wants the planet is poised to reveal this and encourage them to drive the Federation out.

Next episode: "Because It's There" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mallory#In_Asia)
