In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode The Ultimate Computer, which aired on March 8, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 4729.4.
The Enterprise is ordered to be part of a test of the new M5 Multitronic System, a computer designed to replace a starship crew. In an unscheduled drill at Alpha Carinae 2, M5 defends the Enterprise against attacks from the starships Excalibur and Lexington. The M5 is declared the victor of the simulated contest, prompting Commodore Bob Wesley to call Kirk "Captain Dunsel." Spock explains the meaning of "dunsel" to McCoy as a term used by midshipmen at the Federation Academy for a part that serves no useful purpose.
In a short time, however, M5 takes control of the Enterprise. Daystrom is surprised by the M5's actions but views its behavior as mistakes made by a "child" who is still learning. At the scheduled rendezvous point, the M5 attacks the Excalibur, Lexington, Hood, and Potemkin.
Kirk finally shuts off M5 by pointing out that killing humans has violated its programming of saving men from dangerous activities such as space exploration. Since the penalty for murder is death, the M5 concludes that it must die and shuts itself down. Daystrom is committed to a rehabilitation program, but Spock still refuses to respond to McCoy's prodding that human compassion outweighs any advantages computers may have in computational ability.
