El Dr. Richard Daystrom, diseñador de la computadora de la Enterprise, ha terminado la M5, un nuevo tipo de computadora capaz de reemplazar a gran parte de la tripulación de una nave espacial, y la Flota Estelar ha escogido a la Enterprise para probarla. Pero durante la prueba la M5 acciona los phaser a toda potencia contra otra nave, matando a muchas personas.

Citaciones:
Daystrom: When a child is taught... it's programmed with simple instructions -and at some point, if its mind develops properly, it exceeds the sum of what it was taught, thinks independently.
Kirk: Genius doesn't work on an assembly line basis. You can't simply say «Today I will be brilliant.»
McCoy: If a man had a child who'd gone anti-social, killed perhaps, he'd still tend to protect that child.
Kirk: Granted, it can work a thousand, a million times faster than the human brain, but it can't make a value judgment, it hasn't intuition, it can't think.
Kirk: What happened to the crewman?
Daystrom: The M-5 computer needed a new power source; the crewman merely
got in the way.
Kirk: And how long will it be before we all «just get in the way?»
McCoy: We're all sorry for the other guy when he loses his job to a machine, but when it comes to your job... that's different. And it always will be different.
Spock: Every living thing wants to survive.
Kirk: «All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by.» You could feel the wind at your back, about you... the sounds of the sea beneath you. And even if you take away the wind and the water, it's still the same. The ship is yours, you can feel her, and the stars are still there, Bones...
Kirk: Machine over man, Spock? It was impressive. Might even be
practical.
Spock: Practical, Captain? Perhaps, but not desirable. Computers make
excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.
Captain, a starship also runs on loyalty to one man and nothing can replace it
or him.
McCoy: Compassion. That's the one thing no machine ever had. Maybe it's
the one thing that keeps men ahead of them. Care to debate that, Spock?
Spock: No, Doctor. I simply maintain that computers are more efficient
than human beings. Not better.
Kirk: There are certain things men must do to remain men.
Kirk: Only a fool would stand in the way of progress.
McCoy: Please, Spock, do me a favour... and don't say it's fascinating!
Spock: No, but it is... interesting.
