Coy, Spock and Kirk are stuck on an spaceship masquerading as an asteroid. They have to figure out how to correct the ship/asteroid's course. The multi-generational ship has kept its inhabitants compliant with a religion of obedience. Eventually, at McCoy's direction, Kirk and Spock break into a chamber and locate the religion's sacred text.
Love the 19th century title in 60's lava lamp design! |
"Is it indexed?" Kirk says.
"Yes, it is," Spock replies.
Gotta love those fundamentalists with their indexed religious instructional manuals!*
But you know, I appreciate that the writers didn't make Spock able to instantly read the whole thing in 2 seconds. An index was more believable.
*It is the manual for the ship--which of course begs the question, Wouldn't it be more interesting if all technical writing was like this?
