Technology of the Week Features

When ingested by humanoids, kironide interacts with pituitary hormones to produce telekinetic abilities. The strength of these abilities is proportional to the concentration of kironide metabolites in the subject's system. Dr. McCoy determined the source of the abilities of the planet's population and was able to produce even stronger abilities in Captain Kirk and Spock in just a few hours by injecting them with higher concentrations of kironide, allowing the three to escape imprisonment by the Platonians, but the technique has never been replicated.
