A Small Matter of Faith

;''[[captain's log, USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), 2267|Captain's log]], [[stardate]] [[2267|3547.2]]'' : ''This appears to have been our week for [[Medicine|medical]] emergencies. Due to [[subspace]] interference from [[Berthold radiation]], I have been unable to contact [[Starfleet Command]] for authorization to respond to a [[priority one]] [[distress call]] from [[doctor|Dr.]] [[Pitkin]] of the [[Starfleet Veterans' Hospital]] on [[Lavinius V]] — received two solar [[day]]s ago. Thus, on my own authority, we have diverted from our present assignment in the [[Beta Aurigae]] [[system]], and are now in [[orbit|standard orbit]] over Lavinius V. I am confident my decision poses no threat to the 19 [[crewman|crewmen]] beamed aboard two solar days ago — casualties from the {{uSS|Defiant|NCC-1764}}, disabled during a routine patrol. I must note for the record that, as expected, Dr. [[Leonard McCoy|McCoy]] has taken vigorous exception to my decision.''

;''[[Captain's log]], stardate 3549.8'' : ''En route to the planet [[Calydon]], we are encountering an [[ion storm]]. I am apprehensive about how it will affect our efforts to regain control of the ''Enterprise''…''

;''[[Captain]]'s [[log entry|log]], stardate 3550.1'' : ''Despite the storm and [[En-Lai]]'s increasing agitation, we have reached Calydon. I have [[beam]]ed down to the surface to prepare for the incredible event we now believe will take place there.''

;''Captain's log, supplemental'' : ''We are leaving Calydon with the reverend En-Lai's newly cured followers in custody. They must stand [[trial]] for their part in the commandeering of the ''Enterprise''. But, as they were instrumental in verifying the existence of the Calydonian healing beings, a discovery of great import to the [[Federation]], I am making a formal recommendation to [[Starfleet Command]] that clemency be considered.''
