[edit] Plot outline
While observing a burnt-out supernova, the U.S.S. Enterprise picks up a strange message transmitted in a two hundred year old code.
The signal is traced to a nearby planet. When the ship enters orbit, it is hit by an energy beam that damages its dilithium crystals and makes the crew begin to shrink. The cause is the inhabitants of a miniature city called Terratin. Terratin is a lost Earth colony; its inhabitants have mutated because of the supernova's radiation and are now all less than a few inches tall.
Dr. McCoy determines that the crew will continue to shrink beyond their ability to control the ship unless a cure is found.
