CREATORS: Howard Weinstein (writer), Gordon Purcell and Arne Starr (artists)
STARDATE: 8589.2 (follows the last issue)
PLOT: Having crashed on icy Beta, Uhura goes out looking for help, but by the time she returns with Betans to the escape pod, Sulu is dead. A healer uses a plant to revive him and they're taken in by the so-called "terrorists", simple people who are ready to fight for auto-determination against a plundering upper class that would stripmine a world they think of as theirs. Quatrini agents arrive on Beta and figure Betans are holding the Starfleet officers hostage. All must die so that Quatrin can become a police state...
CONTINUITY: None.
DIVERGENCES: None.
PANEL OF THE DAY - Nasty cold
REVIEW: Perhaps not as entertaining as the previous issue, but Uhura gets a starring role and the motivations and intentions of each faction are made clearer. Purcell's art remains strong and may even be getting stronger by the issue.
