| abstract | - Mace Magellan walks in on a brawl at Ena's bar between human and Klingon colonists. Magellan eventually drives out the combatants and settles down for a drink with Koval, one of the Klingon colonists. Admiral Kirk meets with Commander Thimon before the Andorian officer disembarks for Earth to retire from Starfleet. After Thimon transports to the Sturgeon, Ambassador Averill Stanton is transported aboard the Excelsior for escort to Magellan's World. The ambassador belligerently demands Kirk's cooperation, informing the admiral that he is in charge of the mission. Once Stanton leaves with his new aide, Lieutenant Maria Morelli, Kirk asks Lieutenant Commanders Chekov and Sulu for a briefing on Magellan's World and Ambassador Stanton. Lieutenant Saavik details the history of Magellan's World, a planet discovered simultaneously by the Federation explorer Mace Magellan and the Klingon Empire. Magellan, elected provisional governor, divided the planet equally with each side given ten years to prove who was best suited to develop the planet. Based on current findings, the Klingons are noted as having made more impressive advances than the Federation colonists. Chekov adds that Ambassador Stanton was apparently assigned to Magellan's World because the situation is hopeless, but Kirk sees this as Stanton hoping to save a flagging career. Alisa Ruthven chides Magellan for his late arrival then claims to have something important to show him. She insists that the discussion take place in her office lest the Klingons discover the new ore samples. Ruthven claims she has found dilithium and asks for authorization to complete two months of heavy mining. Magellan denies her the authorization since it would involve environmentally-damaging mining techniques. Alisa angrily accuses Magellan of selling out to the Klingons. The provisional governor leaves with Ruthven claiming that all will change with the arrival of Averill Stanton. Captain's Log: Supplemental. Since the arrival of Ambassador Stanton, the temperature aboard the Excelsior, despite the automatic climate control, has grown decidedly cooler though the crew is doing its utmost to ignore the sudden chill... When Lieutenant Morelli leaves Sulu to complete some last-minute work with Ambassador Stanton, Doctor McCoy and Scotty playfully tease Sulu about his relationship with Morelli. Soon afterward, Stanton dresses down Morelli for associating with the Excelsior senior staff and tells her that their careers are effectively "dead in the water." Magellan relaxes as he tells Ena of Ruthven's sending for Federation mediation, lamenting that he may be out of a job in a few days. As Ambassador Stanton complains about the Klingon presence, Kirk speaks with his sometime rival Captain Koloth. Meanwhile, down on the planet, someone bombs the Federation Mining Operation.
