"The Slaver Weapon" is the fourteenth episode of the first season of the animated science fiction television series ''Star Trek''. It first aired in the NBC Saturday morning lineup on December 15, 1973, and was written by American science-fiction author Larry Niven, based on his original short story "The Soft Weapon".〔This episode was expanded to become the first half of a full-length novel by science-fiction author Alan Dean Foster as ''(Star Trek Log Ten )'' (1978) (ISBN 0-345-27212-9).〕 In this episode, while traveling by shuttlecraft, several ''Enterprise'' crew members are captured and have to use their individual strengths to prevent a powerful alien weapon from falling into the wrong hands. ==Plot== On stardate 4187.3, the ''Enterprise'' shuttlecraft ''Copernicus'', carrying ship's Science Officer Spock, Communications Officer Lt. Uhura, and Helmsman Lt. Sulu are en route to Starbase 25 to deliver a stasis box, a rare artifact of the Slaver culture. The now-extinct Slavers used these objects to carry weapons, valuables, scientific instruments and data. The boxes can detect each other and evidence shows that another device is located nearby. Following the signal, the shuttle lands on an ice planet where the crew is captured by the hostile catlike Kzinti. The Kzinti had an empty stasis box of their own, and were using it to lure in passing starships. They are trying to steal stasis boxes in the hopes of finding a super weapon that will return their empire to its former greatness. Intrigue builds on intrigue as the box passes hands several times between the Federation and Kzinti crews, until the Kzinti manage to retain control of it for a time. As they explore the device's many settings, it starts talking to the Kzinti and asks them to provide several code words. When they fail to provide them, it concludes they are enemies and self-destructs, killing them. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Slaver Weapon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
