Introduction
The Enterprise is on an exploratory mission to the Pollux system. Entering orbit of Pollux IV, a great hand seems to appear in space and hold the Enterprise firmly in its grasp. The owner of the hand shortly appears and claims to be the Greek god Apollo himself. Beaming down to his temple, the crew finds that Apollo expects treatment no different from humans of the 23rd century than he claims to have received millennia ago, and has the powers to back up his demands. Is this truly Apollo, and even if he isn't, how can the crew escape his very real powers?
Why, yes, Lt. Palamas, I do put makeup on my nipples...
