- Medical Log, McCoy recording, Stardate 6836.2
- Nurse Chapel and I have just completed an extensive physical examination of Mr. Sulu. Aside from a minor scrape on the chin, accidentally incurred on Perry's planet, there are no detectable signs of physical abnormalities at all. Following an observation by Mr. Spock that Mr. Sulu's two episodes of unconsciousness were preceded by uncompleted acts of violence, we arranged a small experiment. An attempt was made to induce hostile action from Mr. Sulu. This proved unexpectedly difficult. Even when provoked, he exhibited no violent tendencies. It was necessary to refer to his confidential psychological report in order to produce an area sensitive enough to evoke a response from him. This was as unpleasant for me as it was for the patient. (NOTE: Refer at later date that Starfleet Command re-evaluate procedures for classification of psychological data. I don't feel that even I should have such ready access to data this personal.) After appropriate stimulus — a reference to a buried traumatic and humiliating event — Mr. Sulu again attempted a violent act and lapsed into an unconscious state. We monitored this condition with all the facilities available. He instantly slipped into a state of deep shock. His vital signs dropped suddenly and drastically. His respiration rate was undetectable, his heart beat only once every five seconds. He was, by all measurable signs, very near death. I stood by ready to revive him, but it was not necessary. His recovery was as sudden as his collapse. He was in a state of shock for a total of seventeen seconds and suffered, as nearly as we could tell, no ill effects at all. Five seconds after regaining consciousness all his vital signs were perfectly normal, no signs of stress remained. It was as if he had just awakened from a deep, restful sleep. He remembered nothing of the incident. Each of his episodes of unconsciousness have been progressively shorter and more difficult to induce. I would suspect it would be almost impossible to produce another one in this patient. It is almost as if he had been conditioned. Conditioned against violence.
- There have been, as of this date, four similar incidents aboard the Enterprise. (TOS novel: Perry's Planet)
- Medical Log, Stardate 6914.6, Dr. Leonard McCoy reporting:
- It's been ten days since the return of the survey party from Delta Gamma Four, and as yet the survivors have not regained consciousness. Included among the survivors were both the Captain and the First Officer. Three members of the survey party - Security Officer Jamison, Security Officer Matthews, and Medical Technician 2nd Miriam Raymond - have all died of massive cerebral breakdown due to spore infestation. I've been able to rid the remaining survey team members of the spores, and there is no evidence of brain damage in any of them, yet there remains this strange coma, for which I have no explanation... (TOS novel: Death's Angel)
