since they weren't on the Earth, they should have said "ground", etc.)
PLOT
While transporting an annoying Starfleet ambassador/observer wench
somewhere (she caught a disease on her last assignment and McCoy is worried
the whole show that she is going to die), the Enterprise receives a
distress signal. An Enterprise shuttlecraft (along with the wench, who
went along to the planet for some reason) is forced down to the planet that
the signal originated at. On the planet they find Zephran Cochran, who has
been kept immortal by a cloud of electricity called the Companion, who
brought Kirk, et.al. to the planet to keep Zephran company.
