Its original mission, "sterilize " for biological contamination (or something like that) became perverted into "sterilize all imperfect life forms.." which meant all humans. A man named Jackson Roykirk was the man who designed the probe, and the probe confuses him as Capt Kirk...Eventually, Kirk confuses its brains out, and it self destructs after they beam it out of the ship.....(I may have missed base on one or two details, but that is the gist of the story)
