Synopsis:

Writer: Kevin J. Ryan / Artists: Rachel Ketchum & Mark Heike

During an early part of the Enterprise’s first five-year mission, the ship arrives at the planet Tendar which is at the early stages of space exploration. When the landing party beams down, Kirk, Spock, and Gary Mitchell are immediately arrested. The Tendarans want to use the prisoners as negotiating tools with the Federation, but Scotty and the rest of the Enterprise crew have other ideas, and soon break them out. (Because prison break outs are so much more exciting than using the transporter!)
