History and specifics[]
In the year 2268, the crew of the Federation starship USS Enterprise surveyed the planet. Doctor Leonard McCoy began conducting long-term studies in his medical laboratory of various fluids and blood samples collected from the world.
Not long afterward, after the ship's first visit to Midgwis, these samples were ruined by the disembodied consciousness of Captain James T. Kirk, who had tried to write in the samples in an unsuccessful attempt to contact McCoy. (TOS novel: Ghost-Walker)
