Synopsis:
Robert April, and his wife Dr. Sarah April, the first captain and
chief medical officer of the Enterprise, are being escorted to
there retirement ceremonies on Babel. The Enterprise locks
onto a vessel heading at warp 36, unable to break free they are
dragged into Niobe Nova, into an antimatter universe where time
travels in the opposite direction.
The alien ship's pilot,
Karla Five, is an explorer from the reverse universe who
accidentally became lost in our universe. He leads the U.S.S.
Enterprise to his home world of Arret to help find a way back into
normal space. On Arret, the crew encounter an old man, who is
Karla Five's
son, and a baby, his father. The crew begin to notice that they
too are getting younger as they remain in the negative universe.
In time they discover a
dead star that corresponds to the nova in the positive universe
— it is the gateway for the U.S.S. Enterprise's
return. Though Karla Five's
ship is strong enough to pull the starship through the nova, the
Enterprise crew is now too young to pilot it. Commodore April, now
a young handsome man, takes command of the ship steering it back
through the nova. Using the transporter, April restores the crew
to their proper age. The Aprils consider remaining young, but
instead decide that they have lived their lives to the fullest.
Once back to their original ages, the Federation decides to change
the mandatory retirement age and the Aprils are able to continue
their careers. |
