Captain's Log, Stardate Supplemental: We are investigating the death of dilithium miners in the caves of the Horta creatures.

"A sportsman!" said Kirk, suddenly inspired. "This I can negotiate with." Two weeks later.... "Kirk, it's working," said the beefy mining chief, looking pleased. "We've been setting up croquet courses for the creature, and it's been drilling through the rock like mad. We're going to triple dilithium production this year alone." "I'm glad you're pleased," said Kirk. "Take a few orange jumpsuits out of petty cash." A miner passed by them, stumbling on a croquet ball as he walked by.
