The Federation starship Enterprise is in pursuit of the stolen space cruiser Aurora. In trying to escape, the Aurora overloads its engines and its six passengers are safely beamed aboard the Enterprise just as the Aurora explodes. The group consists of Tongo Rad, son of the Catullan ambassador; Irina Galliulin, an acquaintance of Ensign Chekov; Dr. Ton Sevrin, a noted Tiburonian electronics, acoustics, and communications researcher; Adam, a musician; and two other women. They could be described as 'space hippies'.
In responses to Kirk's questions, Dr. Sevrin says their destination is the planet "Eden", which Kirk responds is a myth. The group refuses to co-operate with Kirk, but are impressed by First Officer Spock, who is familiar with their social movement...
"All this plant life is full of acid, even the grass." Dr McCoy.
lyrics
The kids are on the way to Eden.
They’re lighting out and leaving home.
Let’s go, Let’s go
It’s not a long way, Oh yeah
It’s not the wrong way, oh yeah
Come and join us, oh yeah, on the planet of love
oh yeah, the planet of love, oh yeah
No more trouble, nothing on my mind
Live in a bubble, eat what I can find.
Happy couple, throw away the rind
Kiss and cuddle, nice and kind
Love, planet of lo – o – o -ove
Lo – o – ove
Let’s go, Let’s go
It’s not a long way, Oh yeah
It’s not the wrong way, oh yeah
Come and join us, oh yeah, on the planet of love
oh yeah, the planet of love
