Slasher, a remarkably obscure reference. Episode 53? 1968?
Enterprise draws the dubious honor of field-testing the multitronics computer system of Dr. Richard Daystrom, the genius who as a young man created the breakthrough duotronic system used by all Starfleet craft. Daystrom, obsessed for years with topping his earlier success, designed the automated M-5 to replace living crews on starship -- and it seems posed to do just that, relegating Kirk to a relic. Then trouble looms: unable to distinguish simulations from reality, M-5 bears down fully armed on unsuspecting war games ships -- and even Daystrom cannot head off his creation. Kirk is faced with outfoxing a computer before his fellow captains are forced to destroy his ship -- if they can.
