 The Enterprise goes to a star base after encountering an ion storm for repairs. While there, Kirk files a report about the death of a crewman, LCDR Finney, who was taking scientific readings in a Jeffries tube before Kirk needed to jettison it for the safety of the ship. However, the computer log recorded that Kirk jettisoned the pod before there was a danger, thus indicating perjury and negligence in the death of Finney.
