(from internet transcript)
Captain's log, Stardate 5943.7. We have calculated that Beta Niobe will go nova in approximately three and a half hours. Its only satellite, Sarpeidon, is a Class M planet, which at last report was inhabited by a civilised humanoid species. Now our instruments show that no intelligent life remains on the planet.
[Library]
(Kirk, McCoy and Spock have beamed down)
SPOCK: The power source we detected is in this building, Captain.
KIRK: Any sign of survivors?
SPOCK: No signs of sapient life forms.
MCCOY: How can a planet full of people just disappear?
KIRK: If they knew that their sun was dying, it could be anything up to mass suicide.
SPOCK: Reports deny that they had any space flight capability. This appears to be an archive or library of some kind.
KIRK: Then we're certainly in the right place to find out what happened, where the inhabitants are, and if there are any left now.
MCCOY: Well, that's fine. Where do we start?
ATOZ: May I help you? I am the librarian. May I be of assistance?
(A silver-haired man, called A to Z - perfect for a librarian)
KIRK: Perhaps you can, Mister
ATOZ: Mister Atoz. I confess that I'm a little surprised to see you. I had thought that everyone had long since gone. But the surprise is pleasant one. After all, a library serves no purpose unless someone is using it.
KIRK: You say everyone is gone? Where'd they go?
ATOZ: It depended on the individual, of course. If you wish to trace a specific person, I'm sorry, but that information is confidential.
MCCOY: No, no particular person, just people in general. Where did they go?
ATOZ: Ah, you find it difficult to choose, is that it? Yes, a wide range of alternatives is a mixed blessing, but perhaps I can help. Would you step this way, please?
(They walk away from Atoz, and another one steps in front of them from between a range of shelves)
ATOZ: May I help you? You may select from more than twenty thousand verism tapes

KIRK: You are the real one, Mister Atoz?
KIRK: Of course. I am the real Mister Atoz.
MCCOY: As a matter of fact, he's quite real, Jim.
KIRK: Let us take you with us to a place of safety.
ATOZ: No, thank you. I plan to join my wife and family when the time comes. Now, don't be concerned about me. Think of yourselves. I warn you most urgently. Make your escape before it's too late. The library is at your complete service. I will gladly supply you with all reference material to help you. History of the planet is available in every detail. Just choose what interests you the most. The millennium, the century, the date, the moment. The library is your key.

A few minutes ago, finished assembling and developing the content above.
Decided then to check "Dark Matter" novel and read the very next page after the most recent page I read. The content of that page completely unknown to me at this point.

[17C Jail]
LAW: Here. There's the mort. And there's the mort's henchman.
JUDGE: Open up. Rouse him.
(The somberly clothed judge sits on a stool opposite Kirk)
JUDGE: You're the thief who talks to spirits.
KIRK: I'm a stranger.
JUDGE: Where are you from?
KIRK: An island.
JUDGE: What is this island?
KIRK: It's called Earth.
JUDGE: I know no island Earth. No matter. Continue.
KIRK: I never saw that woman before tonight. When she screamed, as far as I could tell, she was being attacked.
JUDGE: Then you deny being her accomplice?
KIRK: Yes, I deny it. I was reading in the library when I heard her scream. My lord, the library? Do you remember where the library is, my lord?
JUDGE: Perhaps your part in this is innocent. I believe you to be an honest man.
WENCH: He's a witch!
JUDGE: Take care, woman. I am convinced of your guilt. Do not compound it with false accusation.
WENCH: He speaks to unseen spirits. He's a witch! You heard the voices!
LAW: It's truth, my lord. I heard the spirit talk to him. He answered and did call it Bones.
WENCH: You're a witch. He cast a spell. He made me steal against my wish.
KIRK: Surely you don't believe
JUDGE: You heard these spirits?
LAW: Aye, my lord. I'll witness to it.
KIRK: What he heard, my lord, were only my friends behind the wall in the library. In the library.
JUDGE: I know nothing of this. Send for someone learned in witchcraft and let him examine him. I will have nothing to do with it.
KIRK: My lord, at least arrange for me to meet Mister Atoz.
JUDGE: I know of no Atoz.
KIRK: Yes! Yes! Atoz!
JUDGE: I know nothing of this, nothing of these matters! I will not hear him!
KIRK: Let me speak to you!
JUDGE: I will not hear him.
(Judge and law man leave)
KIRK: At least let me talk to you!
WENCH: Witch! Witch! Witch! They'll burn ya.

Quotes
Martha Kent: Be their hero, Clark. Be their angel, be their monument, be anything they need you to be... or be none of it. You don't owe this world a thing. You never did.

SPOCK: Apparently they've all escaped the destruction of their world by retreating into its past.
[17th Century]
WENCH: Mercy on us. It's spirits.
KIRK: No, no. No, no, no. These are friends of mine, and they're
[Ice Age]
KIRK: Spock, are you in the library?
SPOCK: Indeed not. We're in a wilderness of arctic characteristics.
MCCOY: He means it's cold.
[17th Century]
KIRK: Can you get to the library?
[Ice Age]
SPOCK: There is no library, Captain, at least not that we can see. We are at the base of an ice cliff.
[17th Century]
KIRK: Explain.
[Ice Age]
SPOCK: Just before you disappeared, Captain, I discovered a machine which Mister Atoz called the atavachron.
[17th Century]
KIRK: It must have been tied in to the tape viewer somehow.

ATOZ: Have you made your selection, sir?
SPOCK: Exactly what is it that I'm expected to select?
ATOZ: I'm sure I was clear. The period in which you're interested.
SPOCK: I see. This is a fascinating machine. What is it?
ATOZ: Ah, this is the atavachron.
SPOCK: Interesting nomenclature. How does it work? May I
ATOZ: Oh, no, sir, no. I must ask you not to touch the controlling mechanism. Return and make your selection. When you have chosen, I will prepare you through the atavachron.
SPOCK: Thank you, Mister Atoz.
(Kirk hears a woman scream from behind a doorway)
KIRK: Spock. Bones.
ATOZ: Wait! I haven't prepared you.
(Kirk runs through the doorway and disappears. He appears in a street where people dressed as cavaliers are manhandling a wench)
ATOZ: You must be prepared!
