    It was one of the Voyager probes, upgraded by aliens to continue its journey of discovery, returned to earth wasn’t it?

      No. That was in TMP. To be fair, that’s two TOS movies where mysterious probe threatens the Federation.

        Oh right. This was the one where Scotty tries talking into a Mac mouse. And then after opening and closing a lot of windows, transparent aluminium! *Edit : spelling

          And the computer was like oh I totally know what this arbitrary molecular structure you just programmed in is, and totally know its name, so I’ll just flash that up on the screen. Because that’s definitely how material science works.

        Yeah, it’s one of those “it’s weird that it happened twice” situations. Not to mention TMP was just a mash up of The Changeling and One of Our Planets is Missing. At a certain point it feels like the characters should be asking each other why they keep experiencing the same situations over and over…
