* NightmareFuel: First, Kirk must cope with the AdultFear that the people he is responsible for seem to have disappeared without a trace. And then those mysterious green faces out in space accompanied by a creepy ScareChord. So many of them scraping up against the hull of the ''Enterprise'', and in the vacuum of space no less! Captain Kirk hasn't had this many people rush a vehicle he was in since Shatner drove to Comic Con!

*** The problem is that with all the mystery illnesses we see killing off RedShirts in the various Trek series — and the fact that one of the main problems with Gideon is they ''have'' no infectious disease — colonizing another world would likely have done the same thing as Kirk's blood: Bring them into contact with an illness that can introduce death into the population.

*** Presumably the same way the Council Chamber only had three people in it -- the powerful people took as much space as they needed and forced everyone else to cram into whatever was left.

*** This is addressed in [[TheMoteInGodsEye]], in which another species is up against the same problem. Ultimately this just kicks the problem a little further down the line - not so very long on the reasonable assumption that population grows exponentially - and leads to a still bigger nightmare in which there are huge numbers of sardine-can worlds instead of just the one.

* InferredHolocaust: They barely try to hide this. Odona returns to Gideon, carrying the disease she is now immune to, ready to start a massive pandemic, fully sponsored by the government. And condoned by Captain Kirk, no less. Let's hope they keep control of it while they still have it...
