Season 1 Episode 6
Episode: "Where No One Has Gone Before"

Kosinski, a Starfleet propulsion specialist beams aboard the Enterprise accompanied by an unusual alien being who serves as his assistant, so that they may perform a series of tests on the Enterprise's warp drive. Two warp experiments are performed and both times the Enterprise is launched across unimaginable distances (read that as hundreds of millions of light years distance!) with no clear guarantees that the ship will ever make it back safely to Federation space.

Kosinski's assistant. - The Traveller. This being at least has an impression of what this region of the universe is. I like that the Traveller's awareness of the nature of reality is shrugged off by Kosinski who writes off the idea as nonsense and an attempt at getting our heroes to believe in magic; the irony being that his first scene in this episode had him materialise in the transporter room out of thin air, an act that would appear very magical to somebody from say the 18th century.
