The Enterprise finds archaeologist Dr. Roger Korby, who has been missing for five years, living underground on a deserted ice planet with a group of sophisticated androids.

Summary

Teaser

View of the surface from the underground ruins on Exo III

In 2266, the starship USS Enterprise NCC-1701 of Starfleet, the exploratory arm of the political power the United Federation of Planets will approach the planet Exo III to learn the fate of Dr. Roger Korby, a prominent scientist whose last message will have been sent over five years earlier (circa 2261). Two previous expeditions will have failed to uncover any trace of the Korby expedition.

Despite the odds, Korby will have survived, having taken refuge in underground ruins left by the former inhabitants of the planet. Lieutenant Nyota Uhura will pick up a transmission from Dr. Korby on the planet's surface, surprising the Enterprise crew.

Act One

Dr. Korby will request that Captain James Tiberius Kirk beam (teleport, which will be possible due to 23rd-century technology) down alone, explaining that he has made discoveries that may require an extraordinary decision on Kirk's part In fact, Dr. Korby will have transferred his consciousness into an android, built with technology from the ancient civilization of Exo III, and will believe that all of mankind should do the same, as robot bodies are immune to disease, aging and negative emotions. But after learning Christine Chapel, his former fiancée, is aboard, he will readily agree for her to also beam down.

Korby and nurse Chapel reunited

Kirk and Chapel will beam down but will be met by no one so Kirk will have two security officers beam down as well. Security officer Rayburn will be instructed to remain at the beam down location while Kirk, Chapel, and the other security officer, Mathews, explore the ancient ruins, searching for Korby. Shortly after they meet Dr. Brown, Dr. Korby's assistant and an android, Mathews, pushed by Ruk, an android built by the ancient civilization, will fall into a "bottomless" cavern, leaving Kirk, Chapel and Brown alone. Dr. Brown will seem somewhat detached and aloof, barely reacting to Mathews's tragic fall. He will also seem slow to recognize Chapel. Making their way through the winding cavern, Dr. Brown will explain that the previous civilization that inhabited Exo III moved underground when their sun went dark. He will elaborate that the inhabitants replaced freedom with a mechanistic culture and claim that once Dr. Korby is freed from the cavernous environment they are currently in, the discoveries he has made will revolutionize the universe. The group will then enter a room. Inside, they will also meet Andrea, a female android beautiful in 23rd-century human culture.

"Drop it!"

Kirk will meet Dr. Korby, who will seem friendly enough. But he will insist there be no communication with the ship. This not be acceptable to Kirk, especially since in addition to the death of one crewman, he will have lost contact with another, Rayburn (also killed by Ruk), whom he left at the cave's entrance. After Brown threatens Kirk with a laser pistol, there will be a brief struggle during which Brown is shot, and his android nature revealed. Meanwhile, Ruk will immobilize Kirk by picking him up and lifting him against a wall, preventing his escape.

Act Two

In another room, Dr. Korby will have Ruk, in a near-perfect imitation of Kirk's voice, send a message to the Enterprise through Kirk's communicator, where Lieutenant Commander and First Officer Spock, a half-human and half-Vulcan, a species of logic-minded , pointy-eared humanoids with greenish skin, and Kirk's personal friend, and whom Chapel will have a crush on, who will have been concerned since Kirk's routine check-in time will have passed. Dr. Korby will warn Kirk that if he moves or cries out to Spock, Ruk will have no choice but to harm him. "Kirk" will inform Spock that everything is fine and to maintain routine contact and will sign off. Dr. Korby will inform Kirk that Ruk had been tending the machinery in the ruins for longer than even he could remember. With his help and with the records Dr. Korby found, they will have built Brown. When directly asked by Kirk the fate of Rayburn, Dr. Korby will inform Kirk that Ruk killed both Rayburn and Matthews, but claim it was expressly against his orders. Dr. Korby will have Ruk imitate other voices, but grow angry when Ruk imitates Chapel. He will order Ruk never to mock or harm Chapel, and at Kirk's prompting, add that he is to obey all of Chapel's commands. Kirk will attempt again to escape but Ruk will be too fast for him. The hulking android will pick him up and throw him across the room like a rag doll.

Androids behind the controls of the android duplicator

Dr. Korby will return to the main dining room to join Chapel and Andrea. Kirk will be being held securely by Ruk as Dr. Korby begins to reveal more of his plans to Kirk and Chapel. Dr. Korby will then reveal to them that Andrea, too, is an android and try to convince the jealous Chapel that there are no romantic feelings between him and Andrea. He will explain that Andrea simply obeys his orders, nothing more. To prove his point he will order Andrea to kiss Kirk, which she does, then to slap him across the face. But Kirk will still demand answers: If these 'mechanical things', as Kirk dubs the androids, say and do only as Dr. Korby programmed, then why did Brown try to shoot him earlier and why did Ruk murder Kirk's two security officers? Kirk will say that there are many things he still doesn't understand regarding everything that has happened up until then. Dr. Korby will tell the captain that he will answer all of Kirk's questions now. A short time later, Dr. Korby will lead Chapel to his laboratory where the android duplicator, with a human-shaped blank that Ruk just locked down, mid-torso, on the side facing her, will catch her attention. Dr. Korby will inform her that this is how an android is made, and then order Andrea to slightly turn the platform and Chapel will be shocked to see Kirk, locked down by Ruk in a similar manner as the blank, naked and unconscious, on the other side.

Act Three

Kirk will then be spun around to be made a copy of while the shocked Chapel looks on in confusion. Soon the physical process will be completed. Dr. Korby will say the android is an exact physical replica of the real Kirk. He will then explain that he will transfer all of Kirk's memories into the android to make the duplication complete. But Kirk will overhear this, and while Korby readies the machine, Kirk will murmurs hateful things about Spock to himself, causing the duplicate to have that additude. Dr. Korby will then present his new android to Chapel.

"Kirk" and Kirk at lunch

After the experiment, "Kirk" will join Chapel for lunch, and ask her if she would obey if he gave her an order to betray Roger Korby. Chapel will say, "Please don't ask me to make that choice." The tone of the conversation will cause her to lose her appetite, but she'll encourage "Kirk" to eat. With a smile, he will inform her that androids don't eat. She will have been unknowingly talking to the android Kirk the whole time. Dr. Korby, Ruk, and the real Kirk, wearing a jumpsuit similar to Dr. Korby's, enter and even Kirk will be impressed. He will quiz his duplicate on details of his life and family, and the android will answer every question correctly. The duplicate Kirk will be sent to the Enterprise to secure the command packet from Kirk's quarters containing the ship's itinerary; Dr. Korby's plan will be to select a colony where he can begin carefully manufacturing android replacements.

"Christine, is that you?"

Kirk will make a third attempt to escape by choking Dr. Korby with a rope and running off. As Ruk pursues him, Chapel will yell after him not to hurt him. Ruk will imitate Chapel's voice in an attempt to lure Kirk out of hiding, but Kirk will see through the ruse and attack Ruk with a broken-off stalactite. In the struggle, Kirk will fall and hang dangerously from the edge of another deep hole.

Act Four

After Ruk stares at Kirk for a moment as he dangles off the precipice, the giant android will pull Kirk to safety, in obedience to Chapel's order not to harm the captain.

Meanwhile, on the Enterprise, Spock will be surprised by "Kirk"'s unannounced return, as he casually strolls past him in a corridor. When Spock enters Kirk's quarters and tries to inquire about Dr. Korby, "Kirk" will snap at him an offensive comment about his mixed heritage. Immediately after this out-of-character outburst, "Kirk" will be pleasant again; he will return to the planet, leaving the very bewildered Spock behind. Realizing that something is wrong, he will form a security team to prepare to beam down after "Kirk" leaves the ship.

Back on the planet, the real Kirk will ask Andrea to kiss him, hoping to confuse and scramble her programming by showing her what kissing really is. She will give him the same type of kiss she gave him earlier -a brief gentle kiss on the lips. After the brief kiss, she will half-raise her left arm, ready to slap him -another occurrence from the previous kiss. Kirk will then stop her from slapping him, grab Andrea, pull her in close, and give her a much longer, passionate French kiss. This will confuse her. Deep down she will have enjoyed it, but her circuitry will have protested. Kirk will then be confronted by Ruk and discusses the Old Ones with him. Kirk will learn more about the ancient civilization: they built their machines too well, became fearful of them, and started shutting them off. Survival outweighed programming; the androids murdered their creators. Goaded by Kirk, Ruk will grow angry and realize that Dr. Korby is doing exactly the same thing. He will start to threaten Dr. Korby, leading him to destroy Ruk with a phaser. Meanwhile, Andrea will come across the android Kirk and try to repeat the romantic advances, thinking he is the real Kirk. After the android Kirk refuses, citing it as "illogical," Andrea will vaporize him with a phaser.

In a scuffle between Kirk and Dr. Korby, a section of "skin" will be torn from the back of Dr. Korby's hand, revealing wires and circuits, to Chapel's horror.

Korby's hand exposed

Dr. Korby will try to explain to the shocked Chapel that while critically injured, he built a perfect body and decanted himself into it. He will claim that he's still the real Roger Korby, but will be seemingly unable to demonstrate any uniquely "Human" qualities.

The breakdown of this small segment of android civilization will reveal the pitfalls of Dr. Korby's utopian vision. Kirk will say he can prove himself human by handing over his phaser. He will start to do so, but be interrupted by Andrea hugging him, and she will confusedly try to profess her love for Dr. Korby. As she kisses him, Dr. Korby will pull the trigger of the laser pistol in her hand, destroying them both.

Spock and his security team will arrive and come upon Kirk and Chapel. When Spock inquires about Dr. Korby's whereabouts, Kirk will reply to his first officer, "Dr. Korby... was never here."

Back on the ship, Chapel will decide to stay on the Enterprise. Spock will then tells Kirk of his dismay over his use of the term "half-breed". Kirk will goofily promise to remember that... the next time he finds himself in a similar situation.

Log entries

• "Captain's log, stardate 2712.4. A signal from planet Exo III, Doctor Roger Korby has been located. He and part of his expedition remaining alive due to the discovery of underground ruins left by the former inhabitants of this world."

Memorable quotes

"Dr. Korby has discovered that as their sun dimmed, the inhabitants of this planet moved underground, from an open environment to this dark world. When you were a student of his, Christine, you must have often heard Dr. Korby remark how freedom of movement and choice produced the Human spirit. The culture of Exo III proved his theory. When they moved from light to darkness, they replaced freedom with a mechanistic culture."

- Dr. Brown, describing the cultural changes which took place on Exo III to Kirk and Chapel

"You think I could love a machine?"
"Did you?"

- Korby and Chapel, on Andrea

"A thing is not a woman."

- Korby, to Chapel

"This is how you make an android."

- Korby

"Andrea, kiss Captain Kirk." [Andrea kisses him] "Now, strike him." [Andrea strikes him]

- Roger Korby

"Choose, Christine. Which is your captain?"
"I don't know. They're exact. I honestly don't know."

- Korby and Chapel, when Kirk is duplicated as an android

"Mind your own business, Mister Spock. I'm sick of your half-breed interference! Do you hear?"

- Kirk, implanting a mental suggestion into his android duplicate

"Eating is a pleasure, sir. Unfortunately, one you will never know."
"Perhaps. But I will never starve, sir."

- Kirk and his duplicate

"In android form, a Human being can have practical immortality. Can you see what I'm offering mankind?"
"Programming – different word, but the same old promises made by Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Hitler…"
"Can you imagine how life could be improved if we could do away with jealousy, greed, hate?"
"It can also be improved by eliminating love, tenderness, sentiment. The other side of the coin, doctor."

- Korby and Kirk

"Oh, no…No…Not programmed for you."

- Andrea, confused after a long passionate kiss from Kirk

"That was the equation! Existence! Survival must cancel out programming!"

- Ruk, before Korby destroys him

"Aren't you doing exactly what you hate most in Humans: killing with no more concern than when you turn off a light?"
"I am not a computer. Test me. Ask me to solve any… Equate… Transmit… Christine! Christine, let me prove myself!…"
"Don't you see Roger? Everything you've done has proved it isn't you."
"I AM Roger Korby!"

- Kirk, Korby, and Chapel, after Korby's true identity is revealed

"Doctor Korby… was never here."

- Kirk, to Spock

"Frankly, I was rather dismayed by your use of the term 'half-breed', captain. You must admit it is an unsophisticated expression."
"I'll remember that Mr. Spock… the next time I find myself in a similar situation."

- Spock and Kirk

Background information

Production

• The first draft of this episode's script was completed 26 June 1966. The revised final draft was turned in 27 July.
• This was the first episode to be repeated by NBC on 22 December 1966. [1]
• The script of this episode was in such a bad shape, that Gene Roddenberry had to make revisions simultaneously with the filming of the episode, and shooting had to wait until new pages arrived. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, p. 204)
• James Goldstone, who directed the second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was hired to direct this episode, because the production staff greatly praised his work. However, filming of this episode went two days over schedule (mostly due to the aforementioned script problems), resulting in eight shooting days. Goldstone was never re-hired. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, p. 204)
• Robert Justman personally assembled the episode previews for the series, some of which had specially-recorded narration by William Shatner, as this episode does. ^{(citation needed • edit)}
• The closeup insert shot of Korby's hand reaching for his phaser and pulling the trigger, killing both him and Andrea, was filmed in post-production on 13 September 1966. Frank da Vinci served as Korby's hand double, while Jeannie Malone stood in for Andrea. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One)
• While much of the score in this episode is stock music, small bits of new music were composed for it by Fred Steiner. Andrea's theme was re-used in "This Side of Paradise" as Leila Kalomi sought to explain the nature of the Omicron Ceti III spores to Spock, while the Ruk music signified danger in many future episodes.
• In 1998, the Sci-Fi Channel aired all the original Star Trek series episodes in their complete, non-syndicated format, with added interviews from some of the series stars, guest stars and production people, called "Star Trek Insights". Sherry Jackson said in her interview regarding the scene when Kirk kisses Andrea, "I must say when he kissed me on screen, he really kissed me!" In the same interview Jackson said that William Shatner's chest had to be shaved for his nude scenes in the android machine. [2].
• The reference book Star Trek: The Original Series 365 (p. 066) speculates that the character of Andrea may be closely related to the title of the episode she appeared in, "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". The book makes this connection due not only to the fact she is "indeed" a girl, albeit a girl android, but also because "one has to assume that all of the 'everything nice' ingredients went into creating her," a reference to "What Are Little Boys Made Of?", a nursery rhyme which provided the episode title.
• During the syndication run of Star Trek, no syndication cuts were made to this episode.

Cast

• Budd Albright had appeared previously in an uncredited part as the ill-fated Crewman Barnhart in "The Man Trap".
• DeForest Kelley (McCoy), James Doohan (Scotty), and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode. Along with "Errand of Mercy" and "The Menagerie, Part II", this is one of only three episodes after the pilots in which Kelley does not appear.
• This is the only episode that prominently features Nurse Chapel. In Robert Bloch's original script, a wealthy socialite named Margo hired the Enterprise to look for Doctor Korby, whom she greatly admired. In his script re-writes, Gene Roddenberry felt the role would be better filled by Korby's wife or fiancée, which would play well with the doctor's alleged intimate relationship with Andrea and his emotional coldness. Finally, he wrote the part to feature Christine Chapel, who was previously featured in "The Naked Time" (and was played by Roddenberry's lover and later wife, Majel Barrett). (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One, pp. 224-225)
• The role of Mathews was played by stuntman Vince Deadrick. Decades later, his son, Vince Deadrick, Jr., recalled of the senior Vince Deadrick, "One of his most memorable scenes was when he got thrown into that bottomless cave as Mathews in 'What Are Little Girls Made Of?' You heard his scream all the way down – 'Ahhhhhhh!' – as it got fainter and fainter and fainter." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 138, p. 41)

Sets and props

• Brown and Andrea both use old-style laser pistols seen in the pilots and "The Man Trap".
• In the still photograph of Korby on Spock's station screen, he is wearing one of the turtleneck shirts from the two pilots.
• The graphic of Exo III shown on Spock's screen is seen again in the USS Defiant's sickbay in "The Tholian Web".
• The same stock footage of ice fields, used to represent the Exo III surface is reused and seen on one of the Atavachron discs Spock is watching in "All Our Yesterdays".

Costumes

• Andrea's dress was designed by TOS Costume Designer William Ware Theiss. He evidently designed it to accent the natural contours of her body. (The Star Trek Compendium, 4th ed., p. 41) Star Trek: The Original Series 365 (p. 069) suggests that this costume might have been inspired by the work of designer Rudi Gernreich, particularly the monokini.
• To test the effectiveness of Cassidy's Ruk costume and makeup, the producers arranged for Cassidy to receive a visiting clothes dealer while costumed as Ruk. Sure enough, the salesman, who thought he was calling on Gene Roddenberry, was so frightened at Cassidy's intimidating character, he was barely coherent even as he attempted to do his pitch. However, the salesman eventually recovered, and Roddenberry ended up purchasing some pants from him. (The Making of Star Trek)

Continuity

• This episode marks the final appearance of the early black and white phaser 2. It was replaced by more detailed blue-gray and black models.
• A key point of the Saturday Night Live spoof of Star Trek conventions, featuring William Shatner, was the question from a fan about the combination of Kirk's safe. The combination is different in this episode than in "This Side of Paradise", "The Tholian Web", and "Turnabout Intruder".
• This episode marks the first redshirt deaths in the series, starting with Crewman Mathews.
• When Spock asks Chapel if she recognizes Korby's voice, she asks him if he's ever been engaged. He does not answer her. Spock would later reveal in "Amok Time" his relationship with T'Pring as "less than a marriage but more than a betrothal".
• When Kirk and the Android Kirk are discussing Kirk's brother Sam, it is said that Sam has three sons. In the episode "Operation -- Annihilate!", Sam is shown as having only one son, Peter.

Preview

• The preview contains a Captain's Log recorded solely for the preview: "Captain's log, stardate 2712.4. Planet Exo III. Dr. Roger Korby has been located. And I have become a prisoner in his underground world."
• A different take from that in the final episode of Ruk using the communicator to speak with Spock is shown, and some of Kirk’s dialogue as mimicked by Ruk has been edited and rearranged to shorten it slightly.

Apocrypha

• This episode produced a sequel in the form of the novel Double, Double by Michael Jan Friedman. In it, another Brown android returns from an expedition, finds Korby and the others "dead," and creates a new Kirk android. The androids then again attempt to put Korby's plan into operation, taking over the Enterprise and Hood while arranging the removal of the original Kirk.
• According to the novella "The Worst of Both Worlds", the mirror universe James T. Kirk of the ISS Enterprise destroyed the last surviving member of the android society (presumably Ruk's mirror counterpart) on Exo III, who had likewise turned on their masters and killed them.
