Nurse Chapel is bored by the current slate of missions Enterprise has been on. She makes arrangements to meet an old friend. When Enterprise arrives they find no life signs and the base completely empty. Eventually they encounter a robot who shows them to a submersible craft. The landing party descends into the awaiting arms of an octopus like creature.
The set up feels like an episode of the series. Some of the characters feel like they should, others... a bit off. These Strange New Worlds minis are very hit or miss with me. This one, so far, is intriguing. Star Trek comics should add a little something and not be bound by constraints of budget. Doing something on an ice planet or underwater, or with robots is a nice change of pace. I'm curious to see where this is going.
