At the same time McCoy discovers that he has a year to live, the U.S.S. Enterprise encounters an asteroid which is determined to be artificially propelled. Kirk leads Spock and McCoy on a landing party mission to the asteroid-like vessel called Yonada and find an idyllic world home to the people ruled by Natira, a priestess who takes her orders from the central computer, "Oracle."
