Star Trek VI: In Flanders Fields
story by Walter Koenig
transcripted by David Chappell
The Romulan Empire is in dire trouble. They are losing all their youth;
their most vital warriors are being lost. They are in such desperate
trouble that they ask the Federation for help. The Romulans even propose
joining the Federation.
Klingons get mad at the imbalance of power that would result from a Romulan-
Federation alliance. The Klingons decide to start a big war. In the ensuing
war, many ships are involved in a huge space battle.
The Enterprise crew is deemed too old for battle, so they are replaced by
a younger crew. Of the original crew, only Spock is left on board the
Enterprise. The Enterprise is then sent to battle.
The old crew returns to Earth. The story explores what they do back home.
The new crew of the Enterprise does quite well (with Spock in command).
The crew will get commodations on their return. The Enterprise is lost on
return to Earth; it simply disappears without a trace. Since all Federation
vessels are involved in the war, no search ships can be spared to find the
Enterprise.
The original crew decides to search for the Enterprise; they set
out in a scout ship. They find the planet where the old crew was lost.
Sulu is wounded when the ship is hit, so he stays on board with McCoy while
the others go down to investigate. Kirk, Scotty, Chekov, and Uhura
land on the backside of the planet.
They discover that aliens on the planet were the ones who took young Romulans.
The aliens never die, but they feed on the vitality of other species. Since
youth are the most vital, they steal young people. Only a few of these
aliens are left alive. The new Enterprise crew is being held in cells.
There is a large battle between the four crewmembers and the aliens.
On the scout ship, Sulu escapes from the cantankerous McCoy, and he joins
the others on the planet's surface. In the battle, members of the crew are
wounded one by one, but they manage to kill most of the creatures. Kirk is
wounded as he kills the last alien. All five cremembers are mortally wounded.
McCoy beams down and investigates the scene. He releases new crew from
their captivity. Spock goes to the old crew and walks among them. As Spock
passes by each of his friends, there is a flasback of appropriate scenes from
the old series and the movies. Finally, Spock reaches Kirk's body, and he
falls to one knee. McCoy approaches and takes Spock in hand, and they walk
away from the scene.

Well, I always thought of the Talosians as 'fannyheads', but a planet with
a gluteus maximus is hard to envision! The SFX guys would've gone crazy!
No wonder it got turned down. :-)
