Storyline:

While investigating an uncharted planet, the Enterprise and its quadrant of space
are subjected to a violent force that seems to cause a 'blinking out' of everything
near them. When the scanners resume, where once there was no life on the planet,
now there is one life sign. Kirk, Spock and a security force beam down to investigate
and find a man named Lazarus who collapses and is brought aboard the Enterprise
for treatment. To complicate things further, the initial phenomenon almost totally
drained their dilithium crystals. Starfleet and Kirk suspect this phenomenon could be
a prelude to invasion. While interrogating Lazarus he tells Kirk that he's locked in a
struggle with another being who is 'anti life' and is behind the phenomenon. The
disruptions continue to occur and the ship's situation grows worse.
