"It has been 5,000 years. Have you learned no patience in that time?" - Apollo
The Enterprise is scanning the Pollux system for signs of life and come across an energy field of unknown power that is in the shape of a human hand. Any attempt to evade it fails and the green hand literally grabs the Enterprise and holds it in place above Pollux IV. A face appears on the viewscreen of a being claiming to be the Greek god Apollo (Michael Forest), welcoming Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise "home."
