The X Factor

The U.S.S. Venture is chosen by the Thasians as the testing ground of their human charge, Charlie.

(References to Original Series episode Charlie X.)

Summary
While on a routine checkup of science stations in the sector, the Venture is hailed by the energy beings of the nearby planet Thasus. Several years earlier, the U.S.S. Enterprise had a run-in with this planet-- specifically, a human child named Charlie whom had been raised by the planets inhabitants. Charlie, posessing powers he could not control and human needs he could not understand, created havoc on the ship before being returned to his own planet by the Thasians.

Now, several years older and with more control, Charlie feels he is ready to attempt to be amongst his own kind again. The Thasians, willing to give him a chance, request the Venture to take him aboard, in hopes that the transition will be smooth with so many logical, emotionless Vulcans around. In the interests of peace and intergalactic relations, T'Preea agrees to allow Charlie a chance.

He seems to be adapting well when a distress call comes to the ship. Before long, it's obvious that Charlie is about to be put the test; not only his powers, but his patience and restraint as well, if the Venture is to make it out unharmed.
