The magnetic organism secretly beams aboard the Enterprise with the crew
The magnetic organism was a malevolent lifeform encountered by USS Enterprise in 2269. It had been trapped by the intense magnetic field of Questar M-17 for three hundred million years. It had the ability to create a symbiotic connection with electromagnetic systems like those of a starship, lifeform, or planet. It also had the ability to reproduce itself in order to connect with several objects at once. The organism planned to use the Enterprise to break orbit and head for the galactic core in the hopes of taking over the galaxy. It had originally planned to use the insectoid ship for this purpose, but its crew destroyed the ship to prevent the organism's escape. It's current location is Questar M-17. It took control of the dead star because Enterprise flew straight towards it until the organism fled the enterprise for safety. The Enterprise then flew away from Questar M-17 while hearing the Magnetic organism's desperate cry for help out of fear of being lonely.(TAS: "Beyond the Farthest Star")
