embankment, injuring his hand and covering himself in a magnetic, yellow ore.  When he beams aboard the </B><I><B>Enterprise</B></I><B>, the ore on his uniform causes a malfunction in the transporter, which appears as a burnout.  Although Fisher beams aboard without incident, Captain Kirk, the next person to beam up from the planet, feels strangely disorientated after rematerializing on the ship.  Concerned, Mr. Scott attempts to escort Kirk to sickbay, leaving the transporter room temporarily unmanned.  During Scotty's absence, a duplicate of Kirk materializes on the transporter pad, although this alter-ego possesses a savage, primitive personality.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>While Kirk rests in his quarters, the double goes to sickbay and demands Saurian brandy from Dr. McCoy.  In fact, he practically attacks the doctor to obtain the bottle.  Drinking as he wanders the corridors of the ship, the double happens upon Yeoman Rand's quarters, which he enters and waits for the yeoman to return.  While he waits, Scotty informs Kirk and Mr. Spock about the transporter malfunction, showing them an animal that was duplicated into two separate creatures – one peaceful, the other savage – when the landing party beamed it up to the </B><I><B>Enterprise.</B></I><B>  </B><B>Until the transporter is repaired, Mr. Sulu and the landing party cannot be returned to the ship, a critical situation because the temperature on the planet drops to 120 degrees below zero at night.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Meanwhile, the double attempts to rape Yeoman Rand when she returns to her quarters, and attacks and injures Fisher when he witnesses the scene and attempts to call for help on her behalf.  Scratched on the face by Rand and his knuckles bleeding from hitting Fisher, the double retreats to Kirk's quarters.  Kirk and Spock question Rand and Fisher in sickbay and determine that Kirk must have been duplicated by the transporter.  They also realize that without his stronger, aggressive half, Kirk is beginning to lose the ability to make command decisions.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>When Kirk makes an announcement to the crew about an impostor being aboard, the double becomes furious, thinking that he is the real Captain Kirk.  Using cream on his face to hide the scratches, the double attacks </B><A HREF="http://www.startrek.com/library/individ.asp?ID=116379" TARGET="_top"

where to hide on the ship, the Captain and First Officer confront the double in engineering, where Spock subdues him with the Vulcan neck pinch.  The duplicate Kirk is then taken to sickbay and restrained.  Although the double damaged the transporter ionizer during the incident in engineering, Scotty is able to jury-rig repairs to the transporter.  This gives Spock the opportunity to send the split animal through the transporter to see if the two halves can be rejoined.  The test does combine the creature, but it dies upon rematerialization.  While Spock and McCoy debate the reasons for the creature's death, Kirk realizes that he cannot wait any longer to test the transporter on himself, as the landing party is quickly running out of time.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Ordering Spock to double-check the transporter and McCoy to do an autopsy on the dead animal, Kirk attempts to get his double to the transporter room.  However, the double overpowers Kirk, scratches his face to match his own, changes into a green tunic, goes to the bridge, and attempts to leave orbit without the landing party.  When Kirk confronts his other half on the bridge, the double breaks down from fear, somehow knowing that he needs to be rejoined with his counterpart.  Kirk takes his duplicate to the transporter room, where the two halves are sent through and successfully combined.  Whole again, Kirk orders the landing party beamed up.  Although suffering from severe exposure and frostbite, McCoy announces that all the men in the landing party will recover.</B></div> <bR> <DIV
