Journey to Babel
Journey to Babel was an episode in the original series of Star Trek. It was a second-season episode that was first broadcast on November 16, 1967. It features the first appearance of Sarek, the father of Mr. Spock.
The Starship Enterprise is carrying a group of ambassadors of the United Federation of Planets to the Babel Conference. An unknown vessel is trailing them.
The ambassadors are arguing fiercely, and Sarek, the ambassador for Vulcan, accuses the Tellarites of wishing to exclude Coridan from the Federation so that they can plunder its dilithium. Soon afterwards, the Tellarite ambassador is found murdered, with evidence pointing to Sarek.
Thelev, an aide to the Andorian ambassador attacks James T. Kirk, and is placed in custody. Kirk's crew next tries to identify the ship following them, and discovers that it is in contact with someone on the Enterprise. It is discovered that Thelev is really an Orion spy, associated with the pursuing ship, who has infiltrated aboard to disrupt the conference. The Orion ship destroys itself, and Thelev commits suicide.
