Trekking Through Compliance – Episode 54 – Establishing Trust During Investigations: Lessons from Bread and Circuses

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode Bread and Circuses, which aired on March 15, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 4040.7.

On a routine patrol, the Enterprise happens upon space debris from the S.S. Beagle. This survey ship disappeared 6 years ago, commanded by Captain R.M. Merrik, an academy associate of Kirk. When Spock projects the path of the wreckage back in time, he discovers a civilization of modern-day Romans on Planet 4 of the 892 System. The extreme similarity of the 892 System’s civilization to the Roman Earth is a coincidence, demonstrating, according to Kirk, the validity of Hodgekin’s Law of Parallel Planet Development.

Scott prepares to disrupt power to the entire planet from the Enterprise just as Kirk is about to be executed on live Roman TV. Scotty beams up the away team just before their cell is crisscrossed with machine gun fire. Back aboard the Enterprise, Uhura discovers that the escaped slaves were not sun worshippers but worshippers of a different “son”: the Son of God.

Commentary

Key compliance lessons from the episode include strategies for building trust and credibility during internal investigations. Tom Fox outlines methods to enhance compliance culture through transparency, accountability, confidentiality, professionalism, clear communication, leveraging influencers, and demonstrating accountability. The episode also explores continuity issues and the relevance of Hodgkin’s Law of Parallel Planetary Development.

Trekking Through Compliance – Episode 53 – Ethical Lessons from The Ultimate Computer

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.

Commentary

The plot revolves around Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew testing Dr. Daystrom’s M5 Multitronic System, a computer designed to replace the starship’s crew. As the M5 takes control and makes autonomous decisions, it leads to dire consequences, including unwarranted attacks on other starships. Tom Fox discusses the episode’s ethical dilemmas, such as balancing efficiency and humanity, autonomy and accountability, and preserving human expertise. The episode also provides commentary on the societal impacts of mechanization during the 1960s. Additionally, Fox highlights the importance of monitoring mental health within teams, especially in hybrid working environments. The key takeaway is navigating emerging technologies’ complexities while upholding ethical principles and human values.

  • The Enterprise’s AI Challenge
  • M5’s Malfunctions and Consequences
  • Fun Facts About The Ultimate Computer

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode  The Omega Glory, which aired on March 1, 1968, and occurred on Star Date unknown.

The Enterprise finds the U.S.S. Exeter in orbit with no one aboard. The boarding party then plays the medical log and is warned that they are dead men who must not return to their ship. They are told that their only chance for survival is to beam down to the planet’s surface and find Captain Ron Tracy. Tracy is supporting the Coms against the Yangs violating the Prime Directive.

The victorious Yangs take the landing party prisoner. Kirk realizes that “Yangs” and “Coms” are distorted forms of “Yanks” and “Communists. A trial headed by the Yang leader, Cloud William, follows. Kirk recognizes the invocation of the trial as a distorted form of the Pledge of Allegiance and surprises the Yangs by completing it unassisted. Kirk proves his innocence by completing the “holy words,” realizing they are the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, and reveals the true meaning of the words to Chief William. Kirk and his landing crew return to the Enterprise, bringing Tracy along as a prisoner.

Commentary

The plot follows Captain Kirk and his crew as they encounter the devastated starship Exeter and explore Planet Omega 4, where they grapple with a deadly contaminant and confront Captain Tracy, who has violated the Prime Directive.

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode  By Any Other Name, which aired on February 23, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 4657.5.

A landing party beams down to investigate a distress call, and two “perfect” human life forms register and put in an appearance. They are members of the Kelvin Empire from the Andromeda Galaxy. They want a return trip home, which will take some 300 years, and take control of the Enterprise to accomplish this. They are subjected to humorous adventures and emotions, and the Kelvins are dismayed by their human responses and fearful that they have betrayed their form and culture by taking human form. Kirk and Spock, therefore, convince them to work with the Federation to find a habitable planet in the Milky Way for their people and return control of the Enterprise to Kirk.
