In the year 2276, Kalrind took part in a scheme to trick Captain James Kirk into taking a Klingon fleet to Earth. Kalrind, along with others, took drugs so they would act more Human, and then she posed as a historian who convinced Kirk that he had been transported 100 years into his own future. As she worked with Kirk, the two seemingly fell in love with each other. Eventually, though, the deception was revealed, and Kalrind returned to her standard Klingon personality, though she appeared to retain her love for Kirk after saving his life immediately prior to departing the USS Enterprise.
