[net.startrek] Sequel to Shore Leave

wb@mtx5a.UUCP (Werner Baumgartner) (02/14/86)

I read the recent posting which listed all the episodes.
However, I saw no mention of one that I remember seeing
several years ago. The only thing I recall is the ending
in which the crew discovers the 'care taker' of the
amusement planet in Shore Leave has died and the machinery
has gone berserk due to lack of maintenence.

Can anyone tell me if there was a sequel to Shore Leave?
Or, am I just confused?

You are thinking of "Once Upon a Planet" One of the animated episodes. It
was novelized in _Star Trek Log Three_ by Alan Dean Foster.

BTW, I don't think the computer went amuck because of lack of maintenance,
but rather, because it could not see the value of humans.

Yes, it was an animated episode.

   You're not confused.  The episode you're refering to is
   "Once upon a Planet".  But it's not a regular (ie. live action)
   show.  It's one of the animated shows and is about 25minutes
   long.

   One last thing.  The machinery does not go beserk.  It explains
   that it has been serving for thousands of years and wants more.
   When the keeper died, he left the door open for the machine to
   go off and do what it wants.

One of the animated stories was a sequel.
