Summary

(Montgomery Scott's) Personal log, stardate 24:3:19. A 3-day liberty on SF Base 12-N brought a miraculous coincidence!

Scotty puts on his dress uniform in anticipation of a rendezvous with old girlfriend Blanda Lane, who was a singer performing at Starbase 12 for starbase personnel. Scott charms her, and Lane suggests that they take a drive into the desert. But when they get to her groundcar, Scott is amazed by the sight of the new yellow hyperdrive sports-track. He removes his dress uniform to check under the hood at the brilliantly-designed super-compressor. Blanda develops a headache.
