The Women Of Star Trek: Medium Madame Sybo

by Laura Goodwin

Madame Sybo (Pilar Seurat)

We met her in Wolf In The Fold. She was the adored wife of Argelian Prefect Jaris, and also she was a perfectly respectable psychic medium who could sense and interpret subtle spiritual energy. She was asked to lead a seance in an effort to discover the truth about the murders.

She was not some sideshow hustler. She was a beautiful, elegant and dignified lady. Her spiritualism was taken totally seriously by her countrymen.

Sybo (while in a trance): "Oh! Oh! There is evil here. Montrous, terrible evil! Consuming hunger... hatred of all that lives! Hatred of women. A hunger that never dies! It is strong... overpowering! An ancient terror. It has a name... Baratis, Kesla, REDJACK!"

During the seance, disaster struck. The lights went out, and when they came on again soon after Sybo was found murdered - stabbed - apparently by Mr. Scott. Again, it was really the malevolent alien du jour that was really the killer.
