Synopsis: Near the rim of the galaxy, Kirk's crew are overtaken by scouts from the Kelvan Empire of the Andromeda Galaxy, who have crossed the intergalactic void in search of new worlds to conquer. Normally noncorporeal, the Kelvans assumed human form and used a dehydration device to reduce the crew to simple blocks of their basic body chemicals. When the few remaining skeleton crew are forced to return the Kelvans home on a modified Enterprise,even the option of self-destruct is detected and stopped. Desperate, the Starfleet crew come to realize that their last best ally might just be the dispassionate Kelvans themselves -- and their new human bodies and sensations.

What color is the back of Kelinda's outfit?

Kelinda: This business of love...you have devoted much literature to it. Why do you build such a mystique around a simple biological function?
Kirk: We enjoy it!

There IS no back to Kelinda's outfit. Rrrowr!
