brown@vidiot.UUCP (Vidiot) (07/09/90)
It has come to my attention that some of you are worried that once this update
is placed on the net, that it will be the last and that the only way that you
will be able to get updates in the future is to purchase them. No need to fear,
the guide will continue to be published on the net. The purchased copy will
be for those without access to the necessary equipment to print the guide.
Keep in mind that the net version will have the complete ST:TNG logos, while
the printed (for sale) version will have an abbreviated logo set. Free *is*
sometimes better.
Be sure and read the instructions in the first part completely, otherwise
you will have trouble printing the guide.
Without further ado, here is the final update for this season:

XPriority: ENHANCEMENT
X
XFix: From rn, say "| patch -p -N -d DIR", where DIR is your Star Trek
X directory. Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch -p -N <thisarticle".
X If you don't have the patch program, apply the following by hand,
X or get patch (version 2.0, patch level 9 or later).
X
X If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
X to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
X have been applied. See the stlevel file to find out what has or
X has not been applied. In any event, don't continue with the patch.
X
X After the patches are installed you can enter 'make'. This will create
X the printer ready files. A 'make print' will send those files to the
X printer.
X
XNote: Because many pages were changed in the sttng.txt[23] sections, your
X troff program may not be able to handle the complete list of pages.
X In this case you will have to print half of them at a time by manually
X feeding the list to the make program. Do the following:
X
X make TXT2PAGES=-o53,55,57,59,61,63,65,67,69,71,73,75,77,79 \
X TXT3PAGES=-o97,99,101,103,105,107,109,111,113,115,117,119,121 print
X
X After you print these pages, do:
X
X rm sttng.txt2.ps sttng.txt3.ps
X
X Finally do the following:
X
X make TXT2PAGES=-o83,85,87,89,91,93,95 \

X .IX plague plasma

X .IX "glowing life-force"
X! When a plague in the densely populated Rachelis System races out of
X! control, help from the Enterprise is enlisted in the medical emergency.
X! But while preparing to transport samples of a deadly plasma plague from
X! a Federation research station to a site where a suitable antidote can be
X! developed, the crew is stunned by an unexpected announcement: Counselor Troi
X! is pregnant.
X! .sp .5
X! According to Troi, a glowing white light impregnated her while she was asleep.
X! Dr. Kate Pulaski, the ship's new Chief Medical Officer, confirms Troi's
X! prognosis and reports that the fetus will reach full term within 36 hours.
X! Not knowing the true origins or intent of this mysterious child, Picard puts
X! the crew on security alert.
X! But when Troi gives birth to a boy named Ian,
X! he appears to be completely harmless \- although he amazes his mother and the
X! crew when he grows from an infant to an eight-year-old child in one day.
X! .sp .5
X! Meanwhile, Wesley reluctantly prepares to leave the Enterprise and join his
X! mother, who has departed to become head of Starfleet Medical.
X! Full of mixed emotions,
X! Wesley decides to stay with the ship after receiving encouragement
X! from a new crew member named Guinan.
X! Later, when Wesley discusses his plans with Picard,
X! the Captain agrees to let the young ensign remain as long as his
X! mother permits it.
X! .sp .5
X! However, a sudden crisis with the plasma plague puts everyone's future in
X! doubt.
X! It seems that a contaminated specimen of the hazardous strain has
X! inexplicably begun to grow on the cargo deck due to radiation from an
X! unknown source on board.
X! Dr. Pulaski reports that, at its current growth rate,
X! the plague could wipe out the ship's entire population within two hours.
X! .sp .5
X! Unknown to all, Ian is the source of the radiation, and when he realizes this,
X! the remarkable child decides to sacrifice his life to save the crew.
X! .sp .5
X! As a heartbroken Troi looks on, Ian dies and his body reverts to its original
X! state \- a glowing white life-force entity, which tells Troi that Ian had come
X! to her to learn more about humans by experiencing life among them.
X! Once the entity leaves the ship,
X! the threat is averted and the crew continues their humanitarian mission.

X! .vs 11.5
X! While the Enterprise is en route to pick up samples of various viruses for study
X! to assist with a plasma plague, a strange,
X! glowing light covertly comes aboard the ship.
X! After floating around for a bit and inspecting a couple of rooms,
X! it enters Counselor Troi, who wakes up, mildly distressed.
X! .sp .5v
X! Meanwhile, the new Chief Medical Officer,
X! Dr. Katherine Pulaski, has come on board.
X! Dr. Crusher departed between seasons to become head of Starfleet
X! Medical, and Wesley will shortly be leaving the Enterprise to join her.
X! When Picard discovers that Dr. Pulaski is in 10-Forward
X! without having reported in yet, he goes to find her.
X! When he arrives, Pulaski (who's just been talking
X! to Troi) sits him down, and tells him exactly what he tells the rest of the
X! crew at the staff meeting: Deanna is pregnant, and the pregnancy is proceeding
X! at an extremely rapid rate.
X! After some discussion about what's to be done,
X! Deanna states that she's keeping the child no matter what.
X! .sp .5v
X! The ship reaches Odett 9 to pick up the samples.
X! The medical trustee there,
X! Hester Dealt, comes up to inspect the containment field that new Chief Engineer
X! La Forge has designed, and sends along a manifest of all the samples that are
X! to be brought aboard.
X! Several hours later, Troi delivers her baby\-with no pain, and little effort.
X! She names the child Ianandra, after her father.
X! The next day, Picard goes to pay his respects, only to find that Ian is now
X! physically almost four years old\-and he can even talk.
X! .sp .5v
X! After the manifest is inspected (and Pulaski warns Picard of just how nasty
X! these specimens are), the samples are beamed aboard, and the Enterprise leaves
X! for Rachelis.
X! Ian, by now, is physically and mentally about eight, and seems
X! obsessed by new sensations and feelings.
X! When asked if he's ready to tell
X! everyone why he's come, he says merely, ``No\-not yet.''
X! .sp .5v
X! Suddenly, Dealt and Geordi detect growth of one of the organisms.
X! There are no problems in the containment field, however,
X! and they can't explain it.
X! Furthermore, if growth continues, there's no way the Enterprise can prevent
X! being completely overrun.
X! They eventually determine that the growth is being stimulated by Eichener
X! radiation, but are at a loss to figure out what's emitting said radiation.
X! Ian, realizing it's him, tells Troi he must leave,
X! and ``dies'', turning back into the glowing light we saw earlier.
X! .sp .5v
X! It converses telepathically with Troi, telling her that it came to learn about
X! humanity, and took human form to do so.
X! With the radiation gone, the samples quiet down again, and are delivered safely.
X! Finally, Wes decides he wants to stay on the Enterprise,
X! and after conferring with the bridge crew, Picard gives him permission to do so.

X .IX starship "U.S.S. Yamato"
X! While en route to the Morgana Quadrant, the Enterprise is engulfed by a
X! mysterious ``hole'' having no dimensions and void of all energy and matter.
X! Captain Picard is perplexed by the mysterious oddity which cannot be
X! measured or defined in human terms, and the crew is caught in a trap which,
X! by their standards, does not even exist.
X!
X! Unable to escape from the powerful hole, Riker and Worf decide to investigate
X! an abandoned starship also marooned in the trap.
X! On board the ship,
X! the officers are confounded by a series of inexplicable incidents,
X! but return safely to the Enterprise.
X!
X! The crew is then confronted by a giant human eye which peers in at them
X! through the main view screen.
X! The being, calling itself Nagilum,
X! explains that he is using the Enterprise in an experiment to study human life \-
X! specifically, the many ways in which humans die.
X! Wishing to observe death in all of its forms,
X! Nagilum plans to use one-third to one-half of the crew as human guinea pigs.
X!
X! Unwilling to stand by and watch his crew being slaughtered,
X! Picard makes one of the most difficult decisions of his career.
X! With Riker's support, Picard initiates the auto-destruct system of the ship \-
X! within twenty minutes, the Enterprise and her crew will be destroyed.
X!
X! But as the sands of time slip away, Troi, Data and Geordi plead with Picard
X! to reverse his decision, pointing out the futility of killing everyone on
X! board just to spite Nagilum.
X! While Picard wonders whether Nagilum is bluffing,
X! the Enterprise is suddenly freed from the black hole and the captain is
X! able to revoke the auto-destruct command with only two seconds to spare.
X! Nagilum tells Picard that he observed enough watching the crew prepare to die
X! to help him understand human nature, and Picard points out that they share
X! one characteristic: curiosity.

X .IX starship "U.S.S. Yamato"
X! While exploring the Morgana quadrant, the Enterprise happens upon a void,
X! resembling nothing they've ever seen before.
X! Troi detects nothing from it,
X! and sensors insist that literally \f3nothing\f1 is there.
X! They stop to inspect it.
X! First, they launch two probes into it, but both vanish without a trace.
X! Then, as they inch slightly closer to the ``hole'''s event horizon,
X! the hole reaches out and sucks them in.
X! .sp .5v
X! With no immediate threat, they inspect the void, and find it looks exactly the
X! same no matter in which direction or how far out they look.
X! When they eventually try to leave, however,
X! they find they don't really seem to be moving anywhere.
X! They try dropping a stationary beacon and heading away from it, but
X! shortly discover they're heading back towards it.
X! As the crew's concern increases, a Romulan ship appears and fires.
X! .sp .5v
X! The Enterprise destroys it with one torpedo,
X! and are puzzled to detect no debris.
X! Then, their sister ship, the Yamato, appears, but does not respond to hails.
X! Riker and Worf beam over to check it out.
X! While they find a strange,
X! Escher-like joining of bridges, the Enterprise sees an opening, but cannot
X! leave while they away team is on the Yamato, and communications are out.
X! After they let the exit vanish, communications mysteriously come back up,
X! and the away team, jumpy, is beamed back aboard just as the Yamato vanishes.
X! Several similar openings appear,
X! but vanish whenever the ship tries to move towards them.
X! Just as Pulaski remarks that this all feels like a psychology experiment
X! on rats, a mysterious face appears in the void.
X! .sp .5v
X! It announces itself as ``Nagilum'', and after asking a few questions, decides it
X! wants to examine the phenomenon of death.
X! It kills one crewman, then says it
X! must learn about ``every kind of dying'',
X! and expects it will take thirty to fifty percent of the crew.
X! Shortly after this, in a conference, Picard decides that
X! there's only one option: destroy the Enterprise.
X! He and Riker set the auto-destruct, with a twenty minute countdown.
X! .sp .5v
X! After about fifteen of those minutes have gone by, Picard is visited in his
X! quarters by Data and Troi.
X! After Data asks about death, both tell Picard in no
X! uncertain terms that it is wrong to destroy the Enterprise.
X! Picard says, ``yes.
X! This is very wrong.
X! Neither of you should be reacting in this manner,''
X! and finds out from the computer that Data is on the bridge.
X! Nagilum's simulations vanish, and so does the void.
X! After ordering the ship well clear of where they were,
X! Picard aborts the destruct.
X! Nagilum appears on the screen in Picard's
X! ready room a short time later, to present its conclusions, and expressed its
X! amazement that humans have survived.
X! Picard points out that both species share
X! the trait of curiosity, and Nagilum vanishes, as the Enterprise continues on.

X! with the U.S.S. Victory, thereby presenting the crew with some well-deserved
X! free time.
X!
X! Knowing that Data is a Sherlock Holmes aficionado,
X! Geordi summons Data to the holodeck,
X! where they travel back to Victorian London to solve one of the
X! famed detective's mysteries.
X! Geordi plays Dr. Watson to Data's Holmes,
X! but the trip is a brief one \-
X! having memorized every one of the Sherlock Holmes books,
X! Data can solve the crime with very little effort.
X!
X! Returning to the Enterprise,
X! Geordi tries to explain to Data the difference
X! between deduction and memorization.
X! Dr. Kate Pulaski overhears their
X! conversation and challenges Data to solve a real crime, a la Sherlock Holmes.
X! Geordi orders the computer to present Data with an original mystery and an
X! opponent who could defeat him.
X!
X! Kate joins Data and Geordi as they return to London, via the holodeck.
X! But their game turns serious when Kate is kidnapped by Holmes's arch-enemy,
X! Professor James Moriarty.
X! Although they track down Kate's location,
X! they are unable to retrieve her because Moriarty has taken control
X! of the holodeck computer.
X!
X! Leaving the holodeck,
X! Geordi and Data apprise the crew of the situation with Kate.
X! They learn that the computer didn't create an adversary worthy of
X! Holmes's intelligence, but of Data's \-
X! which means Moriarty is very bright indeed!
X! Picard insists upon returning to London with Data to rescue Kate.
X!
X! Data leads Picard to Moriarty, who is still holding Kate hostage.
X! Although Data offers to concede victory to his nemesis in order
X! to end the charade, Moriarty wants more.
X! He wants to leave the holodeck and become real.
X! Luckily,
X! Picard is able to convince Moriarty that he does not yet know how to convert
X! artificially created holodeck matter into more permanent form,
X! and Moriarty releases Kate from captivity.

X .IX kidnapping
X! With three days left to wait for a rendezvous, Geordi invites Data to play
X! Sherlock Holmes to his John Watson in the holodeck.
X! Both enjoy the trappings of their respective roles,
X! but Geordi is quickly nonplussed when Data solves
X! the Holmes mystery effortlessly, due to having read and memorized it.
X! In Ten-Forward, Geordi tries to explain to Data that the fun is
X! in \f3trying\f1 to solve the mystery, but doesn't seem to be getting through.
X! When Pulaski adds her two cents,
X! and claims that human understanding of that type is beyond
X! Data, Geordi suggests programming the computer to create an \f3original\f
X! Holmes mystery, and Data invites Pulaski along.
X!
X! Unfortunately, this second attempt is merely a combination of elements from two
X! different Conan Doyle stories, and fails as miserably as the first.
X! Geordi tells the computer to create an adversary capable of defeating Data,
X! and on the bridge, Worf suddenly detects a power surge.
X! As the three continue wandering the streets of ``London'',
X! Professor Moriarty appears, and miraculously, calls
X! up the computer arch himself.
X! Shortly afterward, Geordi and Data hear Pulaski scream,
X! and Data quickly deduces Pulaski has been abducted.
X!
X! Their first attempt to find her leads them to a dead end.
X! When the Inspector gives ``Holmes'' a mystery to solve,
X! Data quickly does so, but says it does not
X! connect with their search, leading Geordi to conclude that the computer is
X! running an independent program.
X! They find Moriarty, who worries them with his talk of Data being
X! ``Holmes\-yet not Holmes'', and then shocks them by calling for the arch.
X! He gives Data a picture of the Enterprise, and Data and Geordi leave in a panic.
X! They try to shut down the holodeck, but cannot.
X! Apparently, Geordi's instruction to create an adversary worthy
X! of \f3Data\f1, and not Holmes,
X! set up a chain reaction that gives Moriarty both power and consciousness.
X! After examining alternatives, Picard decides the safest approach is for him,
X! with Data, to go back into the holodeck and confront Moriarty.
X!
X! By the time they reach him, Moriarty has gained a reasonable understanding of
X! the ship's operations, and proves to them that he can cause damage by shaking
X! the ship.
X! Data, attempting to make the program run its course, concedes defeat,
X! but Moriarty does not vanish.
X! He claims to no longer be Moriarty, and says he
X! wants merely to continue to exist...outside the holodeck.
X! Picard sympathizes, as ``Moriarty'' is no longer evil, but cannot help.
X! Moriarty, admitting failure,
X! cancels the override protocol he'd placed on the holodeck.
X! Picard suggests to Moriarty that they save his program until they find a way to
X! recreate him more permanently.
X! Moriarty is saved, and the Enterprise rendezvouses with the Victory.

X! While traveling through the Omega Sagitta Twelve System,
X! the U.S.S. Enterprise aids a disabled cargo ship and plays host to
X! its sole occupant, Captain Okona.
X!
X! Once on board the Enterprise, the handsome, roguish Okona charms the crew \-
X! particularly the women \- with his quick wit and mischievous manner.
X! Data, however, is unable to understand Okona's jokes and looks to
X! Guinan and then the Holodeck for lessons in human humor.
X!
X! Meanwhile, two small interplanetary vessels lock their lasers on the Enterprise
X! and the leaders of both ships demand Okona's surrender.
X! First, Debin accuses Okona of getting his daughter, Yanar, pregnant;
X! then Kushell, with his son Benzan at his side,
X! charges the dashing Captain with stealing his nation's prized Jewel of Thesia.
X!
X! Knowing that releasing Okona to either Debin or Kushell would cause a war
X! between their respective homelands,
X! Picards agrees to help Okona make a fast getaway.
X! However, a discussion with Wesley convinces Okona to change his mind
X! and turn himself in.
X!
X! When all of the parties are beamed aboard the Enterprise to discuss the matter,
X! Okona proposes to Yanar, which prompts an outburst from Benzan,
X! who confesses that he fathered Yanar's child and took the jewel to
X! present to the girl as his pledge of marriage.
X! Okona also admits that he's been acting as a
X! go-between for the couple, whose families have been feuding for years.

X .IX "Jewel of Thesia"
X! While cruising through the Omega Sagitta Twelve System,

X! cargo ship with a lone occupant and a faulty guidance system.
X! They hail the captain, one Okona, a charming rogue.
X! When Okona accepts their offer of help,
X! the Enterprise locks on a tractor beam to his ship and beams him aboard.
X! Okona quickly charms Riker, Data and Wesley, and starts romancing the female
X! transporter chief only seconds after coming on board.
X! He befriends Data,
X! discussing such things as humor and sex appeal, and after a short stop in
X! Engineering, leaves Data and enters the transporter chief's room.
X!
X! Data, convinced he doesn't understand humor, talks to Guinan, who directs him
X! to a ``higher power''\-in his case, a smarter computer.
X! Data programs a 20th century comic to tell him what is funny.
X! After a little while, Data tries to
X! tell jokes to Guinan, but only spoils them.
X! Meanwhile, a small interplanetary vessel shows up and threatens the Enterprise
X! (with lasers, no less\-as Picard puts it,
X! ``lasers couldn't even get through our navigation shields'').
X!
X! The captain of this ship is Debin, a leader of the planet Atlec, one of the
X! two planets in this cluster.
X! He demands Okona be turned over to him as a known criminal.
X! While Picard considers options, a second ship shows up, holding
X! Kushell of the planet Streleb, who also demands Okona.
X! Picard sends Worf to
X! bring Okona (currently in another woman's room) up to the bridge.
X! When he reaches the bridge, Okona tells Picard he is not a criminal,
X! but refuses to say why Debin or Kushell might want him.
X! When Picard asks, he finds that Debin
X! is convinced Okona has fathered an as-yet unborn child on his daughter Yanar,
X! and Kushell claims he stole a valuable jewel.
X!
X! Okona still insists he is not a criminal, and suggests that the Enterprise
X! manage to stay out of things by simply repairing his ship and letting him
X! run off.
X! After talking to Wesley, however, Okona decides to stay and make a stand.
X! Both sets of parties beam aboard, and after some bickering,
X! Okona ``decides'' to marry Yanar.
X! However, Kushell's son Benzan objects, and the real
X! truth of what happened comes out: Benzan and Yanar are in love.
X! She's carrying his child,
X! and Benzan gave the jewel of Thesia to Okona to give to Yanar.
X! All involved parties except Okona leave, satisfied.

X! Graves' young assistant, Kareen Brianon,
X! has summoned for help against Graves' wishes.
X!
X! The Away Team, led by Data, beams down to assist the dying Graves.
X! Data develops a particularly strong rapport with the brilliant scientist,

X! Shortly after Graves tells Data of his remarkable ability to transfer

X!
X! Back on board the Enterprise,
X! Data displays extremely uncharacteristic behavior,

X! After an engineering test reveals no mechanical malfunctions with him,
X! Troi tests Data's psychological reactions and discovers two conflicting

X! Graves's assistant, the lovely Kareen Brianon, greets them.
X! When asked why she abruptly cut off transmission earlier,
X! it's revealed that Dr. Graves didn't know they were coming.
X! Graves appears, quite irascible, but he grudgingly allowed Selar to examine him.
X! While she does this, he becomes fascinated by Data.
X! He claims to have taught Noonian Soongh, Data's creator, everything he knew,
X! and refers to himself as Data's grandfather.
X! Selar then reports: Graves has Darnay's disease, which is terminal.
X!
X! Graves starts talking only to Data and retreats into seclusion with him.
X! He insists Data call him ``Grandpa'',
X! and reveals that he doesn't actually believe he'll die,
X! as he's learned a way to transfer his mind into a computer.
X! When Data, while discussing death, mentions his ``off'' switch, Graves gets a
X! cunning look in his eye.
X! While Troi, Worf and Selar discuss Graves with Kareen
X! (and Troi tells her that Graves is quite attracted to her), Data comes out and
X! says Graves just died a few minutes ago, in his arms.

X! The Enterprise, which has by now returned, beams back the away team, and
X! prepares to take Kareen to a starbase.
X! Data, however, starts acting a bit strangely.
X! He delivers an overly sentimental speech at Graves's funeral, and
X! seems to be becoming attracted to Kareen.
X! Picard talks to Data later, but is
X! convinced he's just been trying a bit too hard to be human.
X! This opinion changes, however, when Data becomes insubordinate,
X! and accuses Picard of having ``unprofessional'' intentions toward Kareen.
X! Troi, unbelievably, senses \f3jealousy\f1 from Data.
X! Picard orders Data to submit to an examination by
X! Geordi, and when that comes up empty, Deanna gives him a psychiatric test.
X!
X! She then reports her disturbing results to Picard: there are two different

X! To the surprise of the Away Team, headed by Captain Picard, it soon becomes
X! apparent that Riva is deaf.
X! Although he can understand what the crew is saying by reading their lips,
X! his only way of communicating is through the Chorus,
X! a group of three people,

X! who read the mediator's thoughts telepathically and translate them into words.
X!
X! En route to Solais Five, Troi and Riva develop a strong mutual affection.

X! thoughts and crude sign language.
X!
X! Arriving at the war-torn planet, Riva, his Chorus and the Away team prepare

X! Picard is asked to evacuate the children of the station,
X! who have been engineered to become super-specimens through genetic research.
X! Although the children have been kept in isolation and show no signs of

X! were all fine eight weeks ago, and five days ago, the only illness on board was
X! a mild case of Thalusian flu, which could never have done something like this.
X! The Enterprise sets quarantine beacons on the Lantree and departs for its last
X! port of call, the Darwin Genetic Research Station, both to find out if they know
X! anything about what's happened, and to warn them if they do not.
X!
X! At Darwin Station, they find the same process occurring, although more slowly.
X! Furthermore, they believe the Lantree infected them.
X! The head of the station,

X! The child and the shuttle return to Darwin Station, where Pulaski and Data
X! determine that although the children are not carriers, they are the source.
X! The overactive immune system of the children responded to the Thalusian flu

X! When the U.S.S. Enterprise arrives at a newly established Starbase, Data is
X! ordered to serve under Captain [Commander] Bruce Maddox, who wishes to
X! disassemble and study him so that more androids can be made for Starfleet's use.
X!
X! But after Data learns that Maddox may not be able to reassemble him, he
X! refuses to submit to the procedure.
X! When Captain Picard is unable to have
X! the orders changed, Data's only option is to resign from Starfleet.
X! His decision to resign, however, is challenged by Maddox on the basis that Data
X! is not a person with rights, but property of the Federation.
X!
X! The J.A.G. (Judge Advocate General) officer of the Starbase, Phillipa
X! Louvois, an old acquaintance of Picard, rules that Maddox's contention is
X! supported by a twenty-first century precedent.
X! Picard announces that he will challenge that ruling at a hearing.
X! Insufficently staffed, Phillipa explains that as senior officer,
X! Picard would have to defend Data, while the next most senior officer,
X! Riker, would have to prosecute.
X! A stickler for the law,
X! Phillipa warns that if Riker does not give his best effort,
X! she will summarily rule in favor of Maddox.
X!
X! In his prosecution, Riker contends that Data is simply a machine\-the creation
X! of man\-and dramatically emphasizes his point by approaching Data from behind
X! and switching him off, leaving him lifeless in his seat.
X! Certain of his defeat,
X! Picard has a discussion with Guinan and she suggests that the
X! Federation's desire to create and own a race of disposable androids
X! is the recreation of slavery.
X!
X! Making an impassioned plea for Data's freedom, Picard declares that in a
X! sense, all beings are created but that does not necessarily make them the
X! property of their creator.

X! .IX "Acts of Cumberland"
X! .IX sentience
X! While at Starbase 173 for crew rotation, Picard runs into an old acquaintance,
X! Captain Phillipa Louvois,
X! who once prosecuted him in the Stargazer court-martial,
X! but is now working for the JAG (Judge Advocate General) office in this sector.
X! Also on hand is Commander Bruce Maddox, who once on board the
X! Enterprise, announces his intention to dismantle Data.
X!
X! Maddox is an expert in cybernetics, and has worked for years to recreate the
X! work of Dr. Soongh, and he believes examining Data will give him the boost he
X! needs to create many more androids like Data.
X! However, when Picard, wary of Maddox's vagueness,
X! declines the offer, Maddox produces orders transferring Data to his command.
X!
X! After talking to Data, Picard goes to Phillipa to find a way to block the
X! transfer.
X! Unfortunately, the only option is for Data to resign from Starfleet.
X! This he does, immediately, but is interrupted while packing by Dr. Maddox,
X! who claims Data cannot resign.
X! Data says that he must, to protect Soongh's dream.
X!
X! Maddox takes his complaint to Phillipa, and claims that since Data is property,
X! he cannot resign.
X! As she starts looking into this possibility, Data is thrown
X! a going-away party and wished well in whatever he chooses to do.
X! However, Phillipa then tells Picard and Riker that,
X! according to the Acts of Cumberland, Data \f3is\f1 the property of Starfleet,
X! and thus cannot resign, or even refuse to cooperate with Maddox.
X! Further, if a hearing is held to challenge this
X! ruling, since Phillipa has no staff, serving officers must serve as counsel,
X! with Picard defending and Riker prosecuting.
X!
X! Riker does some research and presents a devastating case for the prosecution,
X! turning Data off while talking about cutting Pinocchio's strings.
X! Picard, taken aback, asks for a recess, and talks to Guinan.
X! Guinan subtly gets Picard to realize that if Data, and his eventual successors,
X! are held to be ``disposable people'',
X! that's no better than slavery all over again.
X! Picard, renewed, presents his defense.
X!
X! He asks Data why he values such things as his medals, a gift from Picard, and
X! especially a holographic image of Tasha (surprising Phillipa with Data's
X! statement that they were ``intimate'').
X! He calls Maddox as a hostile witness,
X! and demands from him the requirements for sentience.
X! Finally, Picard points out
X! that the possibility of thousands of Datas is becoming a race, and claims that
X! ``Starfleet was founded to seek out new life\-well \f3there it sits!!\f1''
X! Phillipa rules in favor of Data, who refuses to undergo Maddox's procedure.
X! Maddox cancels the transfer order, and Data comforts Riker, saying he will not
X! easily forget how Riker injured himself (by prosecuting) to save Data.

X! When Riker is offered a captain's position on the Starship Dreadnaught[Aries],
X! the U.S.S. Enterprise heads for Starbase Montgomery so he can be briefed
X! on the assignment.
X!
X! Arriving at the Starbase, Riker is visibly shaken when his father Kyle,
X! whom Riker hasn't seen in 15 years, is beamed aboard to brief him.
X! Although it immediately becomes apparent that their relationship is strained,
X! Riker summarily rejects Kyle's efforts to reconcile with his son.
X!
X! Meanwhile, Worf is showing increased hostility toward the crew,
X! for no apparent reason.
X! Wesley's investigation into the cause of Worf's uncharacteristic
X! behavior soon reveals that he is feeling culturally isolated because it is
X! the tenth anniversary of his Age of Ascension, a ritual marking a new level
X! of Klingon spiritual attainment.
X!
X! To help Worf celebrate his anniversary, Data, Geordi and Wesley surprise him
X! by recreating a Klingon ritual chamber in the holodeck.
X! They are, in turn,
X! surprised to learn that the ritual is a test of a Klingon's ability to endure
X! pain at the hands of his friends.
X!
X! While Riker packs for his new assignment, Kyle's attempts at reconcilliation
X! are again rebuffed, prompting him to challenge his son to a punzo-gai-roku

X! The match gives Kyle the opportunity he needs
X! to finally resolve his conflicted relationship with his son.

X! .IX "Age of Ascension"
X! While the Enterprise is docked at Starbase Montgomery for ``engineering
X! consultations'', Riker discovers he's been offered command of the USS Aries, a
X! small exploration ship on the frontier.
X! He has 24 hours to decide whether to take the post,
X! and Starfleet sends a civilian advisor to brief Riker on the mission.
X! To Riker's chagrin, the advisor is his long-estranged father, Kyle.
X!
X! Kyle is something of a Starfleet legend\-he knows everyone, and everyone knows
X! him (including Dr. Pulaski, who apparently was once in love with him).
X! Several times, Kyle tries to talk with Will, but is always coldly rebuffed.
X! Even at the briefing, when Kyle says he's ``here with my hand out,
X! son'', Will leaves in a huff.
X! Pulaski engineers a meeting between Kyle and Troi, which ends with Troi
X! sternly telling Kyle he should consider ``why you're so competitive with your
X! own son.''
X!
X! Meanwhile, Wesley has noticed that Worf is out of sorts, and it seems to have
X! nothing to do with Riker's imminent transfer.
X! He enlists Geordi's and Data's
X! help, and eventually determines the cause: it is the tenth anniversary of Worf's
X! ``Age of Ascension'', and he has no Klingon friends or family to celebrate with.
X! The three decide to program the holodeck for an Ascension rite and to attend as
X! Worf's family.
X! Naturally, as it's a Klingon ceremony, pain figures rather highly in the rite.
X!
X! A short time later, Will discusses command with Picard, who tells him that both
X! staying and leaving have merit, but says confidentially that ``there really is
X! no substitute for holding the reins.''
X! After saying goodbye to Troi, Will tries to get his father to leave.
X! An argument ensues, and they decide to clear the air by engaging in an
X! Ambo-Jitsu match, despite objections from both Troi and Pulaski.
X!
X! Troi, meanwhile, leads Worf to the holodeck, where he finds the rite all
X! prepared, with Data, Geordi, Wes, O'Brien, and Pulaski in attendance.
X! He undergoes the rite, and suffers excruciating pain, but is grateful.
X! In the Ambo-Jitsu ring,
X! Kyle and Will finally release some of the emotions they've
X! kept pent up for years (such as Will's anger that it was his mother who died and
X! not Kyle), and they part as friends.
X! Finally, Will, citing ``motivated self-interest'',

X! Data fights for a friend's life and Wesley is put to the test when the U.S.S.
X! Enterprise probes dangerous geological activity in the Selcundi Drema planetary
X! system.
X!
X! Unbeknownst to the crew, Data has become pen pals with a little girl named
X! Sarjenka, who lives on Drema Four, one of the planets under investigation.
X! When Data tells Picard of his communications with Sarjenka, he learns that
X! her planet is in danger of imminent self-destruction as a result of growing
X! stresses beneath its surface.
X!
X! Meanwhile, to help further Wesley's education as a Starfleet Ensign, Riker
X! puts him in charge of the mineral surveys which will determine what's causing
X! the quakes and volcanic eruptions on Drema Four.
X! Against better judgement,
X! Wesley allows the older crew members under his command to talk him out of

X! Shortly thereafter, Picard agrees to enlist the Enterprise's resources to
X! help save the inhabitants of Drema Four.
X! When Data loses contact with Sarjenka,
X! he beams down to the planet to guide her to a place where she can wait safely

X! But soon, realizing that Sarjenka's planet will tear itself apart more quickly

X! The Enterprise is investigating unusual geologic activity in several planetary

X! Riker, wanting to give Wes a taste of command, puts him in charge of
X! the planetary mineral surveys and tells him to assemble his team.
X! Wes quickly becomes intimidated by how much older and more experienced
X! all of his team are.
X! Meanwhile, while Data conducts an experiment to boost sensor output, he picks
X! up a faint RF signal, which translates to ``Is anybody out there?''
X!
X! Eight weeks later, Wes is having problems with Ensign Davies, one of his team
X! members.
X! Davies thinks running an icospectrogram on the samples they've
X! obtained would be a waste of effort, and badgers Wes into agreeing with him.
X! Then, we see Data talking to Picard on the holodeck.
X! He tells Picard that he answered the call, that it was from a young child,
X! and that her species does not yet know of extraterrestrial cultures.
X! Picard, understandably, quietly says, ``Oops.''
X! Data is worried that Sarjenka is in trouble from the increasing
X! geologic instability of her planet, but realizes that saving her is a flagrant
X! violation of the Prime Directive.
X! Picard decides to call a conference to decide
X! what to do, but orders Data in the meantime to cease all conversation with her.
X!
X! The next day, after a pep talk from Riker, Wes loses some of his uncertainty,
X! and simply orders Davies to run the icogram.
X! Then, at the staff meeting,
X! opinions on what's to be done run the gamut of possibilities.
X! Picard eventually
X! orders Data to sever all contact with Sarjenka, but when Data calls up her voice
X! one last time (ostensibly to isolate the signal), Picard changes his mind,
X! saying that the ``voice from the darkness'' has now become a plea.
X!
X! As the Enterprise orbits Selcundi Drema Four, Sarjenka's world, Wes tells Picard
X! that he and his team have found the reason for the instability, but that they
X! need more time to find a solution.
X! As they work on finding one, Data asks to
X! convey Sarjenka to a safer location.
X! His request is granted, but then he finds
X! he cannot get a message through to her, because of the atmospheric interference.
X! He then asks Picard to \f3beam down\f1 to the planet,
X! saying that his message has not yet been delivered.
X! Picard grumbles extensively about Data's ``in for a
X! penny, in for a pound'' attitude, but eventually allows it.
X!
X! Data beams down and finds Sarjenka, but her family has already left for a safer
X! location\-she remained behind to wait for his call.
X! Judging that she can not long survive in the rapidly worsening environment,
X! Data has O'Brien beam them both up.
X! Data comes onto the bridge to assist in Wesley's solution to Drema's
X! instability, with Sarjenka firmly in tow, who refuses to leave Data, and is too
X! scared to be forced to.
X! The planet quickly quiets, and Picard orders Data to take Sarjenka to sickbay,
X! where Pulaski will remove her memories of Data and of the Enterprise.
X! Data, somewhat distraught, allows this, but when he returns her
X! to the planet, he leaves her with a souvenir from the Enterprise.

X! After O'Brien decides to keep the delegates, who
X! are in stasis, ``out of the way'' until Pulaski takes them to sickbay, a shuttle
X! intercepts the Enterprise, carrying another delegate: Lwaxana Troi.

X! Lwaxana comes on board and quickly annoys everyone.
X! When Riker decides to carry her bags,
X! she telepathically asks Deanna, ``is he still yours?'', and
X! remarks that perhaps the custom of men being owned should be started again.
X! She invites Picard to dinner, and he accepts, believing the entire bridge crew
X! are invited.
X! As he quickly discovers upon entering, however, Lwaxana intends
X! this to be an ``intimate'' dinner for two.
X!
X! She flirts outrageously with Picard, who manages to save himself by calling to
X! the bridge to invite Data down for dessert, telling Lwaxana that Data's
X! after-dinner conversation is ``legendary''.
X! Data's utterly tedious anecdotes bring a
X! quick end to the dinner, and Picard extends his gratitude to Data.
X! Deanna, having already told Pulaski that her mother is undergoing the
X! Betazoid version of menopause, asks her mother what she plans to do,
X! only to hear that she plans to marry Picard!
X! Deanna explains to Picard that Lwaxana's sex drive has gone up
X! by at least a factor of four with the onset of ``the phase'', and tells him of
X! her mother's plans.
X! Picard, sensibly, puts Riker in command of the bridge,
X! and runs to hide on the holodeck as Dixon Hill.
X!
X! After settling in and dismissing various scenarios as too violent, Picard
X! invites ``Hill'''s secretary Madeline to Rex's Bar for a drink.
X! Meanwhile, when she can't find Picard, Lwaxana adopts her alternate plan,
X! and announces her betrothal to \f3Riker\f1.
X! Riker, also not surprisingly, flees with Data to the same holodeck to tell
X! Picard about this development (and the revival of the Antedians).
X! Picard is unpleasantly surprised to hear this, but Rex, the
X! holgraphic bartender, thinks Riker has all the luck in the world.

X! Lwaxana, using the Enterprise computer, finds Picard and Riker, but is
X! quickly taken with Rex, since she cannot read his mind.

X! The U.S.S. Enterprise, obeying orders from the highest ranks of Starfleet
X! Command, beams aboard a special emissary named K'Ehleyr, a half-human,
X half-Klingon female.
X! The crew is puzzled by Worf's coldness toward K'Ehleyr,
X! who informs them that they must intercept the T'Ong, a Klingon vessel whose
X! staff has been in a cryogenic sleep for a century.
X! She reveals that the Klingons began their voyage while the Federation was

X! arriving shortly, who will give them the mission briefing, but says no more.
X! When the emissary arrives (in a Class-8 probe, of all things,
X! so as to arrive quickly), the crew revives K'Ehleyr, a half-human,

X! As she enters to begin the briefing, she recognizes and greets Worf,

X .IX Strategema
X! A simulated war game suddenly turns into a real-life fight for survival when
X! the crew is ambushed by a Ferengi battleship.
X!
X! As part of the first Starfleet Battle Simulation program, Picard and Riker
X! are tapped to compete against each other in a mock battle.
X! Picard is given command of the Enterprise,
X! while Riker is assigned the Hathaway, a hopelessly unequipped,
X! 80-year-old vessel which he's given 48 hours to outfit for battle.
X! Acting as an observer of the exercise is Kolrami,
X! a master strategist from the Zakdorn race,
X! which is reputed to have the greatest strategic minds in the galaxy.
X!
X! When Riker and his team beam aboard the Hathaway, they are shocked by its
X! dilapidated condition.
X! It quickly becomes obvious that the outclassed ship's
X! only hope for victory lies in outwitting the Enterprise crew.
X!
X! Meanwhile, Dr. Pulaski challenges the arrogant Kolrami to play Data in the
X! highly complex game of Strategema.
X! Although Pulaski is certain that the
X! android's skills will prove superior to the Zakdorn's, Kolrami wins.
X!
X! When the war games begin, the Hathaway deftly wins round one by distracting the
X! Enterprise with a holographic image of a Romulan warship, thus giving Riker's
X! crew the chance to record several electronic ``hits.''
X! Moments later, when Picard
X! mistakes a real Ferengi warship for another holograph, he's stunned when the
X! Ferengi launch a ferocious assault.

X! The now-crippled Enterprise is ordered to surrender the Hathaway, which the
X! Ferengi mistakenly believe is armed with a secret weapons system.
X! Unwilling to sacrifice the lives of his friends,
X! Picard masterminds a plan by which the
X! Ferengi think that the Enterprise has blown up the Hathaway, thus allowing the
X! smaller ship to warp speed away to safety.

X! With the war games completed, Data engages Kolrami in a rematch of Strategema.

X! Due to the Borg threat, the Enterprise is taking part in Federation wargames,

X! least.
X! Kolrami tells Riker he will be commanding the 80-year-old USS Hathaway,
X! and putting her in simulated combat against the Enterprise.
X! Riker selects his complement of 40, including Worf, Geordi and Wesley.
X!
X! Before Riker leaves, he invites Kolrami to play a game of \f2strategema\f1, a
X! game at which Kolrami is a grandmaster.
X! Kolrami easily defeats Riker (who did
X! not expect to win, but merely played for the privilege of playing him), and
X! Pulaski suggests to Data that he play Kolrami, to knock Kolrami down a few pegs.
X! Riker and company arrive at the Hathaway and are given 48 hours to get her into
X! shape.
X! This may prove difficult, as Geordi finds they have virtually no
X! dilithium, and no antimatter for the warp drive.
X! Worf considers the possibility
X! of fooling the Enterprise sensors, and Wesley returns to the Enterprise, to
X! pick up a ``science project'' of his which just happens to have antimatter.
X!
X! Data, put up to the match by Pulaski, plays Kolrami\-and loses.
X! Concerned that his loss may be a sign of a malfunction in his systems,
X! Data goes into seclusion in his quarters,
X! and neither Pulaski nor Troi can help him.
X! Picard, after yelling at Kolrami for his belittling attitude towards Riker,
X! goes to Data's quarters with a no-nonsense attitude and gets Data back
X! to the bridge, where the two confer about Riker's probable tactics.
X!
X! The simulation commences, and Worf prepares his ``surprise'', creating an
X! illusory Romulan Warbird for the Enterprise to deal with.
X! Impressed, Picard orders the security code changed.
X! After a short time later, sensors pick up a Ferengi ship coming in,
X! but Picard merely thinks Worf's better than he thought.
X! Unfortunately, it's a real Ferengi ship, and it fuses the Enterprise's
X! connections to its simulated weaponry, cutting off access to the real ones,
X! as well as the transporter circuitry.
X! They demand the Hathaway, convinced soemthing valuable is on board.
X!
X! Kolrami orders a retreat, but Picard dismisses that as unacceptable.
X! He confers with Riker, who tells them that the Hathaway now has 2 seconds
X! of warp 1 (if the system they patched up holds),
X! and the two come up with a plan.
X! Using one of photon torpedoes they've managed to gain access to, the
X! Enterprise pretends to destroy the Hathaway, which warps away, then frighten
X! off the Ferengi by making their sensors show another starship coming in.
X! Kolrami is forced to confess Riker's good at what he does,
X! then plays a rematch with Data, who humiliates him

X! approaching and the ship is put on full alert.
X! The ship then vanishes, and all the computer can do is talk chess.
X! Picard calls Riker and Data to his ready room

X! Stubbs intrudes on the meeting and objects strenuously to any suggestion of

X! Wes, having nasty suspicions,

X! He talks to Guinan about it,

X! Stubbs, caring only for his experiment, tries to kill the Nanites with gamma
X! radiation, but only manages to kill some, angering the Nanites, who then try
X! to kill him later.
X! Picard, grudgingly, agrees that the time has come to kill
X! them all for the sake of the ship, but as he's about to, Data's attempts at

X! After finding nothing odd about the house that would keep it spared, Riker
X! asks the Uxbridges to come back to the Enterprise, but they refuse, saying they

X! When Picard asks her about it later, she mentions that the
X! music began when she started thinking about Kevin and Rishon.

X! Its weapons, however, are no match for the Enterprise,

X! and while considering the way to exploit
X! the small time difference between reaction and counterreaction, calls up voice
X! logs of Leah Brahms, one of the ship's designers, then goes to the holodeck
X! to call up prototype images of the ship, where he accidentally triggers a

X! which drain power from the Enterprise and convert it to the radiation.
X! Picard finds one small weakness in the field and fires at it,
X! only to have that section strengthen from the phaser energy.

X! With only minutes remaining until shields go down, admitting the radiation,
X! Geordi and Leah realize that the only way to exploit the time difference is to
X! make hundreds of adjustments per second, which would require handing control of
X! the ship entirely over to the computer, a move with which Picard is not happy.
X! In simulations, that might work, but is only a fifty-fifty chance, and Geordi
X! asks for two more minutes, as shields go down (leaving 26 minutes until they all
X! die from the radiation).
X!
X! Geordi gets another idea, and suggests to Picard to go the opposite route: put
X! in one quick blast of the impulse engines, then shut everything down except

X! After Geordi is stranded on a storm-ravaged planet, the crew's attempts to
X! rescue him are thwarted by a Romulan warship, which threatens to destroy
X! the Enterprise.
X!
X! While investigating a distress signal on the Federation planet Galorndon Core,
X! Riker, Worf and Geordi discover the wreckage of a crashed Romulan vessel and
X! a dying Romulan officer, Patahk.
X! Due to the fierce electrical storms on the surface, beaming up and down to
X! Galorndon is restricted by brief ``windows,''
X! or breaks in the storm, which occur sporadically throughout the day.
X! Unfortunately, Geordi loses contact with the Away Team and is trapped in a pit,
X! from which he is unable to contact Riker and Worf before they are forced to
X! beam back to the Enterprise with Patahk.
X!
X! Dr. Crusher's examination of Patahk soon reveals neural degeneration caused
X! by exposure to the planet's magnetic fields,
X! which increases the crew's concern for Geordi.
X! Tensions rise when the Enterprise learns that a Romulan
X! warship intends to cross the Neutral Zone and enter restricted Federation
X! territory to rescue any crash survivors.
X! When Picard informs the Romulan captain,
X! Tomalak, that Patahk is aboard his ship,
X! Tomalak insists that the two ships rendezvous and that Patahk be returned.
X!
X! Meanwhile, the crew launches a signal probe to locate Geordi.
X! As he frees himself from the pit and makes his way toward the beacon,
X! Geordi is ambushed and taken prisoner by Bochra,
X! a second survivor of the Romulan crash.
X! Before long, however, the electrical storms on Galorndon wreak havoc on
X! Bochra's nervous system and render Geordi's visor inoperable,
X! temporarily blinding him.
X! Geordi is able to convince the critically ill Romulan that their only hope for
X! survival is to beam aboard the Enterprise, and the two enemies join forces to
X! locate the beacon.
X!
X! Back on the starship, Dr. Crusher informs Worf that a transfusion of his
X! ribosomes is the only hope for Patahk's survival.
X! But the Klingon officer refuses
X! to help because his parents were killed by Romulans years earlier.
X! Although Picard explains the drastic political implications of a Romulan
X! dying in Federation hands, Worf stands firm.
X! When Patahk dies, Tomalak prepares to retaliate by attacking the Enterprise.
X! Tomalak's actions force Picard to raise his ship's shields,
X! preventing transporting activity, just as a window in the storm appears.
X!
X! With time running out, Picard informs Tomalak that the Enterprise is lowering
X! its shields to beam Geordi and a Romulan officer aboard.
X! Knowing that an aggresive response could lead to an all-out war between
X! the Federation and Romulans, Tomalak allows Picard to proceed.
X! Geordi and Bochra return to the Enterprise,

X! Riker, Geordi and Worf beam down to Galorndon Core, a Federation planet with a
X! particularly harsh surface, to investigate a distress call.
X! They find the remains of a Romulan ship,
X! and Worf finds one Romulan, just barely alive.
X! However, minutes before beam-up is necessary, Geordi falls into a pit, and
X! cannot contact the others, or make it back to the beam-down point.
X! Riker and Worf beam up, with the Romulan, but without Geordi.
X! Geordi manages to make some makeshift pitons and climbs out of the pit.
X!
X! Meanwhile, Bev is having trouble treating the Romulan, due to cell damage from
X! the intense magnetic fields down on the planet, and starts looking for a
X! possible compatible ribosome donor.
X! While Wesley begins working on a neutrino-pulse beacon to send down
X! (since Geordi could see it, and the signal could make
X! it back through the storms to the Enterprise), the Enterprise intercepts a
X! signal from Commander Tomalak on a Romulan Warbird, saying he is on his way.
X!
X! Picard hails Tomalak and warns him not to cross into Federation space.
X! When Tomalak hears they are holding his officer,
X! he demands an immediate rendezvous for his return.
X! Meanwhile, Geordi sees the beacon and moves towards it,
X! only to be knocked out and taken prisoner by a second Romulan.
X!
X! While Geordi tries to convince Bochra that their only hope is to work together,
X! Bev tells Worf that he is the only possible donor to save Patakh.
X! Worf, filled with rage at the Romulans, refuses absolutely to donate,
X! despite Picard's request (though Picard does not order him to do so).
X! When Tomalak comes close enough to the edge of the Zone to see that the
X! Enterprise is not there, he
X! hails, angered, and becomes angrier still when he hears his officer is dying.
X!
X! Eventually, Geordi manages to convince Bochra that they can work together or die
X! together, and they start towards the beacon, but then Geordi finds that he can
X! no longer interface with the VISOR.
X! Bochra suggests linking the VISOR to the tricorder and using the combination
X! as a pointer, and offers to be Geordi's eyes.
X! Meanwhile, Picard receives word that Tomalak's ship has crossed into
X! Federation space, and orders red alert.
X! Then, as if that weren't enough, Bev calls him to say that Patakh has died.
X!
X! Geordi and Bochra reach the beacon just as Tomalak reaches Galorndon Core.
X! When Tomalak hears that Patakh has died, he snarls that he will only be the
X! first, and powers up disruptors.
X! Suddenly, the window opens, and they find
X! evidence that Geordi is down there, with a second Romulan.
X! Picard tells Tomalak the news,
X! and makes the first ``gesture of trust'' by lowering his shields to beam up
X! Geordi and Bochra, and Bochra assures Tomalak that he has not been mistreated.
X! Tomalak powers down his disruptors, and the Enterprise returns
X! Bochra to the Warbird and escorts it back to the Neutral Zone.

X! The crew plays host to a group of visiting dignitaries who are negotiating
X! for the rights to a stable wormhole discovered by the Barzan,
X! which could provide a valuable shortcut through the galaxy.
X! Stressed out by her job as the ship's counselor,
X! Troi reluctantly attends a reception for the representatives,

X! The two share an instant attraction which soon leads them into a
X! passionate affair.
X!
X! Meanwhile, negotiations for the wormhole grow increasingly tense.
X! Determined to win the rights,
X! the Ferengi secretly inoculate the Federation delegate,
X! Mendoza, leaving him too ill to continue his task.
X! In his place, Picard selects Riker to represent Federation interests.
X!
X! Concerned that there is little information about the coveted wormhole,
X! Riker suggests that the Enterprise conducts an expedition into it
X! before committing the Federation to a binding contract.
X! Picard agrees and orders Geordi and Data to pilot a shuttlecraft into the hole.
X! Not to be outdone by the Federation,
X! the Ferengi send a craft of their own into the hole.
X!
X! Before long, however, Geordi and Data determine that the wormhole is not as

X! They inform the Ferengi shuttlecraft pilots
X! of their discovery but the Ferengi ignore them.
X! Back on the Enterprise, negotiations for the hole continue,
X! as does the romance between Troi and Devinoni.
X! Although she's fallen in love with Devinoni,
X! Troi begins to have some reservations about him when she learns that he
X! is part Betazoid and has been using
X! his empathic powers to manipulate his competitors in the negotiations.
X!
X! Masterfully maneuvering his position,
X! Devinoni narrows the competition down to the Federaton and the Chrysalians,

X! Just when it appears that Riker will secure the wormhole rights,

X! But before the Barzan premier has a chance to revoke the agreement

X! The Enterprise plays host to countless delegates invited by Bhavani, the Premier
X! of the Barzan people, who have discovered the only known stable wormhole,
X! and are willing to sell it...for the right price.
X! The delegates are Mendoza, for the Federation; Leor,
X! for the Caldonians; DaiMon Goss and his aides, for the
X! uninvited Ferengi; and Devinoni Ral, a ``hired gun'' representing the Chrysalian
X! people, who immediately takes an interest in Counselor Troi.
X!
X! A short time later, while Troi is researching Ral, he comes in and suggests
X! dinner that evening\-she accepts.
X! Meanwhile, Picard, concerned that the
X! wormhole may not in fact be completely stable, orders a full sensor analysis.
X! That night, as Deanna and Ral end up missing dinner for other, more...amorous
X! pursuits, DaiMon Goss poisons Mendoza with a nasty, but non-fatal illness.
X! As Picard is playing host, he cannot take Mendoza's place in the negotiations,
X! and puts Riker in charge instead.
X!
X! After the sensor readings are complete, Picard decides to send Geordi and Data
X! in a shuttle through the hole to investigate the other side, and when the
X! Ferengi object, allows them to go through in their own shuttle as well, while
X! Ral emphasizes the Chrysalians' political neutrality to Bhavani.
X! Later, in bed,
X! Troi finds out that Ral is one-quarter Betazoid, and is also empathic.
X! While the shuttles emerge and find they are about 200 light-years from where
X! they thought they'd end up,
X! Ral plays upon the ``scholarly'' nature of the Caldonians
X! to convince Leor to withdraw Caldonia's bid and throw it behind the Chrysalians.
X! When Troi takes Ral to task for hiding his ``edge'' and using it unethically,
X! he counters by saying she does precisely the same thing in crisis situations,
X! and when she does it, it's a life-or-death situation.
X! Meanwhile, Data and Geordi, fearing the hole will soon collapse,
X! try to convince the Ferengi to come back with them, but to no avail.
X! As they leave, the far side of the hole moves, stranding the Ferengi.
X!
X! Suddenly, Goss, claiming the Barzan have already signed a secret agreement with
X! the Federation, fires a missile at the wormhole, which the Enterprise destroys.
X! As Ral points out to Bhavani that the wormhole is merely being used as a pawn
X! here, Troi tells Picard Goss is bluffing.
X! Ral comes onto the bridge a moment later and ``talks'' Goss out of destroying
X! the wormhole, telling him that the
X! Chrysalians have obtained it and are prepared to offer the Ferengi free passage.
X! After Bhavani apologizes to Riker for making him find out this way, Troi exposes
X! Ral as an empath, and says he and Goss were performing a scene staged for their
X! own purposes.
X! Then, however, the shuttle returns and reports the hole worthless, leaving Ral
X! to pay up his side of a bargain that will now net the Chrysalians nothing.

X! The meeting is disrupted by the discovery of a dead Gatherer,

X! Dr. Crusher runs tests on the body,
X! and in reviewing the results she discovers that his heart attack was caused
X! by a rare microvirus \- with the unusual aspect of attaching itself only to

X! Brull demands a private talk with Marouk and Picard, and while everyone's

X! Riker that she's discovered a ``microvirus'' was responsible\-one tuned
X! specifically to a certain DNA sequence found in only one out of every million

X! Later, Yuta comes to Riker's quarters and offers him pleasure, but claims she

X! escaped and asks them for help in retrieving him.
X! The chase seems commonplace, but then the prisoner manages,
X! at least temporarily, to escape, surprising all concerned.
X! Nayrok tells them the prisoner is Roga Danar, who is given to bouts
X! of excessive violence.
X! Eventually, the ship is caught and Danar beamed aboard.
X!
X! However, the security in the transporter room proves ineffective, and it takes
X! quite some time to subdue Danar, though eventually they manage it.
X! Later, Troi senses Danar is in pain and visits the brig to check on him,
X! and is surprised to find he's not at all violent, and seems very bright.
X! She checks Angosian records, and finds he's not a criminal, but a \f3soldier\f1.
X! Eventually, she finds the whole story and tells Picard.
X!
X! Apparently, for the recent Tarsian Wars, the Angosian soldiers were given
X! various augmentations to survive, both physical and mental (including shielding
X! electrical impulses, rendering them sensor-invisible).
X! Danar and his friends were put on Lunar Five because they could not assimilate
X! back into society after returning from the war, and the process,
X! it seems, is irreversible.
X! Picard asks Nayrok about Danar,
X! only to be told that he is treading on matters of ``internal security''.
X! Picard sympathizes with Danar, but still is forced to
X! turn him over to the Angosian transport ship that just arrived.
X! Unfortunately, as he tries,
X! Danar manages to break out of the transporter beam and is loose on
X! the Enterprise, with a phaser.
X!
X! Despite many attempts, Danar eventually manages to escape.
X! He beams himself over to the transport ship and commandeers it,
X! leaving the Enterprise sensor-inoperative for the time being.
X! Later, Nayrok calls in a panic: Danar has
X! attacked Lunar Five and freed the prisoners,
X! and they are heading for the capital.
X! Picard beams down, with Troi, Data, and Worf, but claims they are not there to
X! fight Angosia's wars for them.
X! Just after Nayrok claims the ``will of the people'' made it necessary to
X! resettle the soldiers, Danar and company arrive, armed to the teeth.
X! Picard orders no response, reasoning that since the
X! soldiers have been programmed to react violently only when threatened, if they
X! are not threatened, they are not a threat either.
X! When Danar insists that they all only want to come home,
X! and refuses to return even temporarily to Lunar Five,
X! Nayrok begs Picard to call his ship.
X! Picard does so, claiming that since this
X! is a matter of ``internal security'', it's not his concern, and the Enterprise
X! leaves, convinced that if the government of Angosia survives the night, it will
X! make a fine addition to the Federation.

X! When Bev insists on staying planetside after a
X! terrorist attack, Picard grudgingly allows it, but then, an Ansata appears
X! (literally out of thin air) and grabs Bev\-then, they both vanish.
X!
X! While Finn, the leader of the Ansata, tries to befriend Bev, Picard puts Wesley
X! on the team trying to figure out how the Ansata are traveling, and Riker visits
X! with Alexana Devos, Rutian chief of police.
X! Devos says she is willing to help,
X! but dismisses the Ansata as ``animals'' and seems not at all optimistic.
X!
X! Finn eventually gets Bev talking, and tells her the Ansata need a doctor, then
X! accuses the Federation of helping the Rutians by bringing the medical supplies.
X! When she says she needs supplies, Finn produces the ones she brought for the

X! While Riker continues working with Devos and sees evidence of hate

X! she can't help them without first finding what's causing the damage.
X! Finn tells her it's the Inverter,

X! dimensional shift, but ``asks a price in return''.
X! Bev discovers Finn has it as well, but he dismisses it,
X! claiming that if he dies, he'll merely be a martyr for the cause.
X! As Finn tells Bev that they are fighting a war for independence,
X! as noble as any other, Wes and company figure out how the Ansata are moving,
X! but find it will take several more jumps to pinpoint their power source.

X! When Riker talks to a captured Ansata and tells him he wants a meeting with

X! coming down harder on the other side, and decides to blow up the Enterprise.

X! Picard and Bev talk, first amongst themselves, then with Finn, who tells them he
X! wants Federation involvement, saying he'll look even better against a more

X! He transports up one more time to the Enterprise to give his
X! demands, then leaves\-but now, the power source has been found, and Riker beams
X! down with Devos, Worf, and a security team.
X!
X! The team manages to knock out the power, and as the Ansata are rounded up,
X! start searching for Picard.
X! Riker finds them,
X! and Devos shoots Finn just as he raises his weapon to shoot Picard.

X! explodes, killing Apgar.
X! Then, Chief Investigator Krag of Tanuga Four beams aboard
X! and demands Riker be extradited to face trial for murder.
X! When Picard talks to Krag in private,
X! he finds that the Tanugan justice system operates under the
X! premise ``guilty until proven innocent''.
X! Unwilling to extradite Riker, Picard says that the incident will be
X! recreated on the Enterprise, via the holodeck.
X!
X! Eighteen hours later, the holodeck is ready (all the various depositions have
X! been loaded), and the hearing begins.
X! According to Riker's deposition, Apgar was
X! immediately grumpy, but his wife Manua tried to seduce him.
X! As he tried to gently break her away,
X! Apgar found them and jumped to wrong conclusions,
X! later threatening Riker's life.
X! The next morning, Apgar claimed he had a good
X! explanation for why he needed so much dycosilium, but Riker claimed not to be
X! interested, and called the Enterprise, ready to beam back.
X! Krag, however, says his researchers have found evidence of a focused
X! energy pulse coming directly from Riker's position\-``clearly'' Riker
X! firing a phaser at the reactor core.
X!
X! Then, a burst of unknown radiation is detected on the ship and investigated.
X! Meanwhile, Manua's deposition is shown.
X! According to it, Riker tried to rape her, and punched out Dr. Apgar
X! when he was discovered, then warned Apgar against reporting this.
X! Riker objects, and a short recess is declared, but Troi tells
X! Riker she sensed no deception\-what she said is what she remembers happening.
X! Shortly after that, a second radiation burst occurs, this one in sickbay.
X!
X! Wes, Geordi and Data find the two bursts occurred 5 hours, 20 minutes, and 3
X! seconds apart, and that the station was destroyed precisely four times that
X! time ago, less a small delay which they can't explain.
X! After the deposition of Apgar's assistant Tayna is heard,
X! giving Apgar's point of view, Krag demands a
X! decision from Picard, who temporizes for a while longer.
X! Data then finds one phenomenon with the same time interval: the field
X! generator down on the planet.
X!
X! Picard then realizes what actually happened: Dr. Apgar had already managed to
X! create Kreeger waves (the source of the radiation bursts), but lied about it
X! because he wanted, to turn it into a weapon for any number of groups other than
X! the Federation.
X! When Riker arrived, Apgar worried that Starfleet was getting
X! suspicious, and tried to get them away quickly.
X! When he discovered Riker and
X! Manua together, that didn't help, and he decided to murder Riker.
X! He set up the converter to deliver an energy beam to fry Riker,
X! but it bounced off the transporter beam and destroyed the reactor.
X! Picard demonstrates this by using the converter created by the holodeck to
X! simulate the event, completely destroying the simulation.
X! Riker is exonerated, and all is well.

X! After the Enterprise has helped eradicate a plague, Picard is resting in his
X! quarters, and when he falls asleep, a strange device appears, scans him and
X! vanishes with him.
X! As he wakes in what could be either a prison or a lab, Worf
X! goes to investigate the strange reading in his quarters, only to find that
X! ``Picard'' is still there.
X!
X! Picard finds the other two captives there with him: Haro, a Starfleet cadet
X! from Boleas Five, and Kovar Tholl, a philosopher from Mizar Two.
X! Neither can explain how they arrived, and neither has seen their captors.
X! Meanwhile, ``Picard'' diverts the ship to a nearby pulsar,
X! at only Warp 2 (thus delaying an upcoming rendezvous) and tells Riker
X! privately that he'll be a bit more close-mouthed than usual for the time being.
X! As Picard analyzes the door in the lab,
X! trying to get out, and theorizes as to why they specifically might have been
X! taken, the fourth captive appears: Esogg,
X! a bloodthirsty alien from the planet Chalnoth.
X! Picard manages to convince him they are only captives like him, but
X! they quickly find Esogg and Tholl do not get along\-and further, Esogg cannot
X! eat the food that's been provided.
X!
X! Meanwhile, ``Picard'' pulls Troi out of the poker game to ask her to keep an eye
X! on the crew for him, and after getting a physical (which reads perfectly
X! normal), invites Bev to dinner in his quarters.
X! Then, Picard, Esogg and Haro try to override the lock mechanism (Tholl declines,
X! saying he's been punished once), and are knocked out by stun-beams.
X! After they revive, accusations start
X! flying that perhaps one of them \f3is\f1 the captor in disguise, and when Picard
X! is accused, Haro leaps to his defense, mentioning Mintaka III, and then, when
X! Picard mentions it, the recent plague.
X! Meanwhile, ``Picard'' suggests to Bev that their relationship intensify,
X! and then changes his tone just as she's about to give in.
X! The crew's confusion intensifies when Picard starts up an old
X! drinking song in 10-Forward, and Riker meets with the major bridge officers to
X! discuss what's to be done.
X!
X! As the Enterprise reaches the pulsar, ``Picard'' orders the ship closer, and
X! still closer, until if his orders are obeyed, the ship will be destroyed.
X! Riker relieves him of command and takes over.
X! Then, after Picard manages, with Haro's help, to override the stun-mechanism,
X! and then all four of them manage to open the door (which, unfortunately,
X! leads to a blank wall), he exposes Haro as an
X! impostor (the plague, you see, was classified as secret).
X! Haro then vanishes, and three identical aliens appear and tell them they
X! were examining authority, and mention the doubles.
X! One of them returns Picard to the Enterprise (at which
X! point the duplicate Picard turns into another of these aliens), and Picard
X! silently manages to order them taken captive.

X! While two aliens on the planet Risa appear out of nowhere and wait for Picard,
X! Troi suggests that Picard, who just finished weeks of grueling negotiations to
X! iron out a trade agreement, needs a holiday.
X! After half the major bridge crew tries to persuade him,
X! Picard finally agrees to go (realizing he won't get a

X! As Picard leaves, Riker asks him to pick up a horgon.
X! Upon his arrival, a girl crashes into him, and then when she sees a
X! Ferengi, kisses him soundly hello.

X! Picard tries to relax by the pool, but keeps getting interrupted by women who
X! ask if they can make his stay more pleasant.

X! and puts the thing away.
X! A short time after that, Sovak, the Ferengi,
X! orders him to keep away from the woman and that the disk
X! (whatever that may be) belongs to him.
X! Picard, however, is none too impressed, and orders him off.
X! Then, Vash, the woman who kissed him earlier, shows up again,
X! and when he realizes that she is the woman Sovak spoke of, he leaves in a
X! huff, but not before Vash slips the disk into his pocket.
X! He returns to his room, only to find the two aliens waiting for him.
X! They claim to be Vorgons, from the 27th century, and tell him of the Tox Uthat,
X! a weapon from their time which is now hidden on Risa.
X! They say that Picard will discover the Uthat here,
X! and ask that he give it to them when he do so.
X!
X! Picard then finds the disk, and confronts Vash with it.
X! As it happens, the disk contains all the research of a professor
X! Vash used to work for, who spent his life searching for the Uthat.
X! She wants to find it to give it to the Daystrom
X! Institute, and Sovak wants to sell it.
X! Picard says he'll go in her place to find it, but Vash insists on coming along.
X! As they prepare to leave, Sovak catches them and threatens them,
X! saying he paid Vash to steal the disk for him, so it's his.
X! Picard grabs the gun and punches him out, and he and Vash leave.
X!
X! As they eventually reach the caves, they camp for the night.
X! Vash admits that Sovak paid her, but says he got what he deserved.
X! Picard and Vash, each impressed with the other,
X! end up spending very little of the evening sleeping.
X! As they arrive at where the Uthat should be, the Vorgons appear to watch,
X! surprising Vash.
X! Even more surprisingly, Sovak appears, having used a copy of
X! the disk that Vash left behind, and orders them to keep digging for him.
X! However, even after hours, they find nothing, perplexing the Vorgons, and
X! stupefying Sovak, whom they leave to keep digging on his own.
X! The next morning, Picard, not fooled at all,
X! confronts Vash and gets her to admit that she went to
X! the cave earlier and got the Uthat then.
X! She admits it, and then the Vorgons show up.
X! However, when Vash warns Picard that these two may well have been the
X! thieves who tried to steal the Uthat in the first place, he destroys it rather
X! than give it to them.
X! He kisses Vash goodbye, then returns to the ship.

X! At Cargo Bay 5, Geordi and Riker discuss Barclay as a problem (always late,
X! doesn't work well with others, eternally nervous, etc.), and then dress him down
X! as he comes in.
X! After dealing with a broken canister of tissue samples, the team
X! gets to work analyzing a broken antigrav\-and despite all of Barclay's
X! assurances, it continues to malfunction.
X!
X! Later, Picard tells Geordi in private that he should try harder to get to know
X! Barclay, leave his prejudices in his cabin, and above all, forget Wes's nickname
X! for Barclay, ``Broccoli''.
X! Geordi immediately gets on that,
X! inviting Reg to take part in the next morning's briefing.
X! Unfortunately, he's a little late then,
X! too\-and most of his suggestions are shot down by Wesley as unworkable.
X! While Barclay unwinds in the holodeck with another fantasy (this one
X! involving Troi as ``the goddess of empathy''), Wes, Geordi, Data,
X! and Duffy (another engineer) discuss Barclay in 10-Forward.
X! Then, inexplicably, Duffy's glass starts leaking.

X! Upon further analysis,
X! they find the molecular structure of the glass has been altered.
X! When Geordi asks Reg to run a full Level-1 diagnostic to check into this,
X! he's surprised to find Reg was already going to, to check on the antigrav.
X! Data suggests the two incidents could be related,
X! but later claims it was Reg's idea to Picard.
X! Picard is happy to hear it, but accidentally calls Barclay
X! ``Broccoli'' himself, further dampening Reg's self-confidence.
X! Later, Guinan defends Reg to Geordi,
X! saying that most of his actions are because of how he's
X! been treated, not just the reverse.
X! Unfortunately, when Geordi finds Reg this time,
X! Reg is living out a fantasy of beating Geordi, Data, and Picard in swordplay.
X! Geordi later tells Reg that although it's unusual, he won't report it
X! or demand a transfer, but suggests he root himself a bit more in reality, and
X! consult Troi.
X! Then, as if that weren't enough, Transporter 3 malfunctions.
X!
X! Reg goes to see Troi, but quickly leaves, too nervous to stay around.
X! Later, when Reg doesn't show up on the bridge when called, Riker, Troi,
X! and Geordi go to find him on the holodeck\-and find him living out
X! several fantasies at once (not amusing Riker or Troi one bit).
X! As all four leave, Geordi and Reg head to Engineering,
X! and Geordi tells Reg that he's needed out in the real world right now.
X! Then, to make matters worse, the matter and antimatter injectors to the
X! warp engines jam, making the ship accelerate out of control.
X! Before long, Reg proposes that one of them might be the problem,
X! and Geordi quickly finds that the broken canister contained traces of Invidium,
X! which caused all the problems.
X! They cool the Invidium down until it's inert,

X! To neutralize a contaminated water supply in a nearby system, the Enterprise

X! Kivas Fajo.
X! Data flies the shuttle to make the back-and-forth trips,
X! but is seized by Fajo on the last trip, who then sends his shuttle back
X! empty and blows it up, to make it look as though Data's been destroyed.
X! Seeing no evidence to the contrary,
X! the Enterprise is forced to leave for the Beta Agni system
X! (fortunately, they now have just enough hytritium to complete their mission).
X!
X! When Data awakes, he is told that he is the ``crown jewel'' in Fajo's collection
X! of rare and unique things.
X! He cannot open the door, and cannot touch Fajo, who
X! is wearing a proximity-activated forcefield which impedes positronic flow.
X! Fajo tells him he'd better get used to his new life,

X! Meanwhile, Geordi agonizes over
X! Data's seeming death, and tells Picard and Riker he can find no reason for the
X! explosion...except pilot error, which is virtually impossible for Data.
X!
X! While Data tries to suborn Fajo's assistant Varria (who tells Data of Fajo's
X! lavishness, both in rewards and in punishments), Picard chooses Worf as the new

X! Fajo then tries many ways to get Data to sit in his chair and be a

X! Fajo wants), and claiming to be Data's liberator\-here, he says, Data cannot be
X! called upon to violate his ``fundamental respect'' for life by killng.
X! Data, however, eventually pretends to be naught more than a mannequin,
X! embarrassing Fajo in front of his friend and rival.
X! Meanwhile, while Troi tries to help Worf
X! get used to replacing another dead crewmate, Geordi realizes Data didn't
X! entirely follow protocol on the last trip (suggesting that there may have been
X! something wrong with him), and when they reach the Beta Agni system, they find
X! evidence that the contaminant may have been deliberately planted.
X! Upon further inspection,
X! they realize that the whole thing may have been an elaborate game to
X! obtain Data, and head for the site of the shuttle explosion.
X!
X! Meanwhile, Varria, whom Fajo earlier threatened with a particularly nasty
X! disruptor to get Data to sit in his chair, tells Data she'll help him escape if
X! he'll take her along.
X! While the Enterprise slowly tracks Fajo down, Varria
X! starts the escape pod's launch sequence, only to be overpowered by security.
X! After Data removes the security, Fajo comes in and shoots Varria with one of the
X! disruptors, then claims the blood is on Data's hands.
X! Data picks up the other disruptor,
X! and despite Fajo's confidence that Data cannot shoot, being ``only an
X! android'' pulls the trigger\-only to have the Enterprise beam him aboard just as

X!
X! Then, not long after he comes on board, tempers start flaring up on board

X!
X! Bev and Troi eventually advance a theory: Sarek himself may be the cause,
X! due to a very rare malady contracted by aged Vulcans known as Bendai's syndrome,
X! in which all emotional control is gradually eroded away.
X! Eventually, Data

X! is forced to convince Sarek of this anyway, over the objections of both
X! Perrin and Sarek's chief of staff, Mendrossen (also a human).

X! Picard manages to convince Sarek of his ailment (by driving him virtually

X! his inability to tell people he loves how much he loves (or loved,
X! in the case of the dead) then, Sarek/Picard manages to conclude the treaty.
X! Sarek expresses his gratitude to Picard, and says they will each retain

X! officer into letting him out of the cell, but he and Deanna quickly find that to
X! send out a communication, they need Tog's security code.
X! Unfortunately, when
X! Lwaxana tries to get the code out of Tog (ostensibly to fix him a drink), the
X! Ferengi doctor catches her, and insists to be allowed to probe her brain to find
X! out how her telepathy works, despite the fact that it might kill her.
X!
X! Meanwhile, the Enterprise leaves the nebula, restoring communications, and
X! discover from one of the Betazoid heads of state, Reittan Grax, that Riker and
X! the Trois have been kidnapped.
X! Unfortunately, they have no idea where the
X! Creighton might be, and cannot decode Ferengi transmissions.
X!
X! Riker taps into the warpfield phase shifter and modulates the static into a
X! pattern the Enterprise will recognize.
X! Unfortunately, since only Wesley recognizes it,
X! he's forced to miss his transport to the Academy to help rescue Riker.
X! As they begin to track the Creighton down, Lwaxana offers Tog a deal: if he
X! sends Riker and Deanna back, she will stay with him, and serve
X! him both sexually and telepathically in his business dealings.
X! Tog agrees, just as the Enterprise shows up.
X! Picard tricks Tog into returning Lwaxana as well,
X! by pretending to be a jealous lover of Lwaxana's, who will kill to get her back.
X! Finally, saying that although the Academy must make Wes wait, he cannot make
X! Wes wait for the Academy, Picard gives Wes a field promotion to full Ensign.

X! Apparently, his recuperative powers are incredible, and even more interestingly,
X! even his healthy cells are mutating in some way.
X! A couple of days later, ``John Doe'' awakes, but cannot remember who he is.
X!
X! Weeks later, he's almost completely recovered,
X! though still unaware of who he is.
X! Strangely, he's occasionally experiencing bouts of severe pain which seem
X! linked to his mutating cells.
X! Furthermore, he's also emitting sporadic energy
X! bursts which are linked to the cells.
X! Although his energy bursts are uncontrollable (and possibly harmful),
X! he finds a few days later that he can
X! heal injuries (starting with O'Brien's dislocated shoulder).
X!
X! The next day, Geordi manages to figure out that the capsule they found is a
X! biochemical storage medium, and manages to find it's a star-chart leading to
X! John's home.
X! By now, however, John's memory has returned just enough for him to
X! realize he cannot go home yet.
X! When, a day or two later, a vessel moves to
X! intercept them at Warp 9.72, John says he must get off the Enterprise.
X! He tries to steal a shuttle,
X! and accidentally kills Worf (but then manages to heal him, miraculously),
X! but is stopped.
X! When questioned, he says he's becoming dangerous.
X!
X! The vessel arrives, shields up, and the captain (who is clearly of John's race)
X! claims to be of the planet Zalkon, and wants John returned to him as a dangerous
X! criminal, to face his death sentence.
X! The Zalkonians give Picard two hours to return John,
X! who cannot confirm or deny the accusations,
X! but claims to know there's more at stake than simply his life.
X!
X! After some discussion, Picard refuses to turn John over without more information
X! about what he has done.
X! When he mentions John's ability to heal injuries and reverse death,
X! the captain (Sunad) denounces them as ``corrupted'', and triggers a device on
X! his ship, which renders the entire Enterprise crew unable to breathe.
X! Fortunately, John still can, and heals everyone in one bright flash.
X! His memory restored, he plucks Sunad from his bridge to the Enterprise and
X! explains that he is the next stage in Zalkonian evolution\-others like him were
X! killed as a threat to the ``natural order''.
X! Now that he has evolved until he is impervious to harm, he says,
X! nothing can stop him from proclaiming the goodness of the transfiguration.
X! He sends Sunad and his ship packing, bids Bev (with whom
X! he's become quite good friends) a touching farewell, and departs.

X! Stardate 43989.1: The Enterprise comes to take a look at the Jure Four colony,
X! one of the outermost colonies of the Federation,
X! with about 900 residents\-all contact was recently lost.
X! Riker takes an away team down to the ``middle o' town,''
X! as O'Brien tells them, but finds himself on the edge of a crater.
X! The entire town has been scooped away.
X! .sp .5v
X! Stardate 43992.6: Admiral Hansen and Lt. Cmdr. Shelby have come to view the
X! evidence, very worried that this might be the beginning of the Borg invasion.
X! Shelby has been in charge of Borg tactical analysis over the last six months,
X! and although she's done her job well, no defenses are as yet beyond the drawing
X! board.
X! After Shelby accepts Riker's invitation to the poker game that night,
X! the two leave Picard and Hansen alone to talk.
X! .sp .5v
X! Hansen tells Picard that Shelby really knows her stuff,
X! and says she'd ``make one hell of a first officer.''
X! When Picard replies that he already \f2has\f1 one hell of a first officer,
X! he's informed that Riker was offered the Melbourne (his \f3third\f1 chance
X! at command) recently, but hasn't yet responded.
X! He urges Picard to kick Riker in the pants a little ``for his own good,''
X! and get his career moving again.
X! .sp .5v
X! Meanwhile, Riker and Shelby discuss traces the Borg leave behind\-special
X! magnetic resonances that were found both on the Enterprise after the slice of
X! hull was taken out, and from the Neutral Zone outposts\-a Borg ``footprint,''
X! if you will.
X! Shelby starts trying to co-opt the away team authority,
X! but Riker quickly reasserts command before the two leave.
X! She tells Riker that, since she thought he was leaving, she's after his job.
X! Later, at the poker game (in attendance: Riker, Shelby, Data, Geordi,
X! Troi, and Wesley), Wes falls for
X! Riker's bluff, but Shelby doesn't\-and wins handily.
X! .sp .5v
X! The next morning (the away team was scheduled to leave at dawn), Riker and
X! Geordi go to the transporter room, only to have O'Brien inform him that Shelby
X! and Data have already been down on the surface for an hour.
X! The two beam down, and an exceedingly annoyed Riker pulls Shelby aside to talk.
X! She tells him that she got word a storm system was moving in,
X! and wanted to get her readings before it hit.
X! After Riker tells her to notify him before changing his orders,
X! he hears her report: she found the footprint.
X! It \f3is\f1 the Borg.
X! .sp .5v
X! Stardate 43993.5: Hansen is now back with Starfleet Command to plan, and Shelby
X! has remained on board.
X! Riker tells Picard what he's done so far (ordered a standing Yellow Alert,
X! and warned all ships & outposts on the perimeter),
X! and the conversation turns to Shelby.
X! After hearing a few of Riker's gripes,
X! Picard points out that her ambition reminds him of how
X! Riker was when he first came on board.
X! He then asks, suddenly, ``Will\-what the hell are you still doing here?'',
X! and when he hears Will has turned down the Melbourne because he feels he's
X! needed here, ``particularly now,'' says, ``Starfleet needs good
X! captains\-PARTICULARLY NOW,'' asks him to look at his career objectively,
X! and reassures him he's ready to ``work without a net.''
X! Riker talks to Troi in 10-Forward,
X! concerned that he's lost something in coming on board.
X! Troi says she thinks he's just older and
X! wiser, and says he's happier here than she's ever known him.
X! She tells him it all comes down to one question:
X! ``What do you want, Will Riker?''
X! .sp .5v
X! A little later, Shelby starts discussing redundancies in the Borg systems, and
X! includes the unnerving statistic that the ship could probably still function
X! with up to 78% of the ship completely inoperable.
X! Any new weapons systems will take at least 18 months to develop,
X! and modifications here may be possible,
X! but right now Geordi and Wes are too tired to think about it.
X! Riker breaks up the meeting until the next morning,
X! and when Shelby asks to continue working with Data (who doesn't, after all,
X! need rest), Riker points out that SHE does, and sends her packing.
X! .sp .5v
X! The next day, Hansen calls\-the ship Lalo sent a distress call,
X! describing an encounter with a ``cubical'' ship (clearly the Borg),
X! and have not been heard from since.
X! All help other than the Enterprise is still 6 days away,
X! but the Enterprise is only 77 minutes away at Warp 9, and they head there,
X! as Geordi starts working with his plan to retune shield harmonics and
X! phasers to better bands in the EM spectrum to confuse the Borg
X! (``just a shot in the dark.'' he says).
X! About 77 minutes later, they find the ship, and Picard tells Data,
X! ``send a message to Admiral Hansen\-we have engaged the Borg.''
X! .sp .5v
X! The Borg, amazingly, hail Picard specifically.
X! (It appears that it may well be the same ship they encountered before.)
X! When the Enterprise answers, the
X! Borg (again, speaking only as the collective\-throughout the entire episode, we
X! never see one single Borg speak, only the entire ship) demand he beam over to
X! them, and say that if he resists, the Enterprise will be destroyed.
X! Picard, of course, refuses,
X! and bluffs about the strength of their ``new defenses.''
X! The Borg start probing, and Geordi retunes the shields\-miraculously,
X! the tractor beam does not manage to lock on.
X! The Enterprise locks weapons, but the Borg
X! quickly adapt to the new shields, drain them, and lock on the tractor beam.
X! After initial shots fail and they still can't move, a beam from the Borg slices
X! into the Enterprise at Engineering, which Geordi is forced to evacuate.
X! Shelby orders Data to fire while continually modulating the phasers, not giving
X! the Borg time to adapt.
X! This proves successful, and the tractor beam is broken.
X! Picard orders Warp 9 away from the beast (no conference this time!!), and the
X! Borg pursue.
X! .sp .5v
X! The Enterprise enters the Paulson Nebula and drop to impulse\-the nebula, they
X! hope, will confuse the Borg sensors.
X! When Worf reports that they cannot be located,
X! but that the Borg are still trying, Picard says, ``Good.
X! As long as they're looking for us, they won't chase anyone else.''
X! As repairs of the hull breach in Engineering continue,
X! Shelby and company analyze the earlier battle.
X! They find that the Borg appear slightly vulnerable to one particular
X! frequency band, and realize that they might manage to cripple or even destroy
X! the ship in that band\-but they need far more power than they can channel
X! through phasers or photon torpedoes to do it.
X! The only thing they can use to
X! channel that much power is the deflection dish, and unless they can increase
X! its range, the explosion would take out the Enterprise as well.
X! Geordi and Wes get to work on that (and on retuning all the phasers,
X! even hand phasers, to that band),
X! and Shelby makes the additional recommendation to separate the saucer,
X! to give the Borg two targets to worry about.
X! Riker says they may need the saucer,
X! and dismisses the plan as too risky,
X! but assures Shelby that he will present all options to Picard.
X! .sp .5v
X! Unfortunately, when he goes into Picard's ready room to talk to him a few
X! minutes later, Shelby's already there.
X! While Picard agrees with Riker that the plan is too risky to try now,
X! he orders Riker to prepare for it as a fallback option.
X! Both Riker and Shelby leave, but Riker holds the lift long enough
X! to tell Shelby, ``you do an end run around me again, and I'll snap you back so
X! hard you'll think you're a first-year cadet again.''
X! Not mincing words, she tells Riker that he's in her way,
X! and that the only thing he knows how to do is play it safe.
X! .sp .5v
X! Stardate 43996.2: They're still hiding in the dust cloud, and Picard is mulling
X! over the possibility that none of their defenses will be adequate.
X! He talks to Guinan in 10-Forward,
X! concerned that this may be the end of his civilization's
X! page in history, and Guinan assures him that humanity will prevail,
X! even if it takes a millenium.
X! Suddenly, a Red Alert is sounded\-the Borg are sending
X! magnetic charges into the nebula, essentially mining it.
X! Shields are only back up to 48%, but with no other options,
X! Picard orders the ship out (at half-impulse,
X! with a sudden jump up to Warp 9 once they're out).
X! .sp .5v
X! The chase lasts only seconds,
X! and the Borg immediately knock the Enterprise dead in the water.
X! One Borg beams aboard and is shot down by Worf, then two more appear.
X! Both have shields, and while the first effortlessly tosses Riker and
X! Worf around the bridge, the second affixes some sort of device to Picard\-and
X! then the two beam back with him (leaving the first one to disintegrate).
X! The Borg disengage, and leave at warp 9, quickly moving to 9.4, then 9.6.
X! While the Enterprise pursues,
X! Worf tells Riker the Borg's course will take them to
X! ``Sector 001\-the Terran system.''
X! Yep...they're coming straight for Earth.
X! .sp .5v
X! Meanwhile, Picard is taken to a central area of the Borg ship, where he is told
X! that humanity will be assimilated, biologically and technologically, into the
X! Borg culture, and will be adapted to ``service'' the Borg.
X! When Picard says it's impossible,
X! because his culture is based on freedom and self-determination,
X! the Borg reply, ``Freedom is irrelevant.
X! Self-determination is irrelevant.
X! You must comply.''
X! When he says they'd rather die, the reply is ``Death is irrelevant.''
X! (Brr...)
X! They then tell him that, to more easily begin the assimilation,
X! they require a human voice to speak for them in all communications:
X! and Picard's the only candidate.
X! .sp .5v
X! Some time later (I'm assuming a couple of days, due to the stardate given in a
X! later scene), the Enterprise can only maintain pursuit at that speed for
X! another 2 hours 40 minutes\-and with the deflector burst not yet ready (Geordi
X! thinks he \f2might\f1 have it in 2 hours),
X! they realize they must get the Borg out of warp.
X! Riker orders an away team to beam over to the Borg ship for some sabotage,
X! and plans to lead it, but is forced to relinquish it to Shelby when Troi
X! reminds him that, as Acting Captain in a wartime situation, his place is most
X! assuredly the bridge.
X! .sp .5v
X! Stardate 43998.5: Shelby, Data, Worf, and Beverly (there in case Picard needs
X! medical help) prepare to beam over.
X! Each phaser is tuned to a different
X! frequency, but Shelby warns them that they still will probably only get 1-2
X! shots apiece before the Borg adapt.
X! They beam over, and are ignored just as they were more than a year before.
X! Signs of human life are inconclusive, and they begin searching for Picard.
X! Bev finds a power conduit, and although it's
X! obvious they'll never be able to take out enough equipment to force the Borg
X! out of warp, Bev suggests the mosquito analogy\-sting them in a tender spot,
X! and perhaps they'll stop to scratch.
X! They decide to take out several distribution
X! nodes, but before they do so, Worf picks up Picard's communicator signal and
X! the team heads for it.
X! .sp .5v
X! With 22 minutes of pursuit left, Riker talks to Admiral Hansen, strongly urging
X! that all ships be redeployed to defend sector 001.
X! Hansen says they're regrouping to make their stand at Wolf-359.
X! Meanwhile, the away team enters what looks like the Borg nursery,
X! and finds only Picard's uniform, with communicator still attached.
X! They continue the search, as Geordi and Wes tell Riker that the
X! deflector burst is in business\-but it will completely burn out the main
X! deflector, and they will need to evacuate the entire forward half of the
X! secondary hull and the lower three decks of the saucer due to radiation threats.
X! .sp .5v
X! With 17 minutes left, and Picard not yet found, the team has no choice but to
X! start taking out the distribution nodes.
X! They take out three, and as the ship
X! drops out of warp (allowing the Enterprise to begin channeling that power to the
X! dish and arming it), the Borg converge.
X! Six Borg are taken out before they
X! adapt to the new phasers, and the team prepares to beam back.
X! .sp .5v
X! Suddenly, Beverly sees Picard in profile (the right half of his face, as you'd
X! see if you were facing him) and says, ``Jean-Luc!''
X! He slowly turns, and the team sees with horror that he
X! has been altered\-into a Borg himself.
X! Worf tries to grab him, but is repelled by a force-field.
X! The team is forced to beam back empty-handed.
X! .sp .5v
X! They tell Riker what's happened,
X! and Geordi says the Borg ship is already beginning to regenerate.
X! Riker tells them to prepare to fire.
X! When Bev objects, saying that Picard is alive,
X! and she might be able to reverse the process, he says there's no time.
X! Finally, the Borg hail the Enterprise.
X! We (and the bridge) see Picard slowly walking up to the screen,
X! and he says, ``I am Locutus, of Borg.
X! Resistance is futile.
X! Your life as it has been is over.
X! From this time forward, you will service...US.''
X! After several stunned reaction shots,
X! the camera closes in on Riker as he says, ``Mister Worf\-fire.''
X! Fade out, and the screen says:

X+ Paramount Network Television, which creates \f2Star Trek: The Next

X+ phasers on stun: they are waging an aggresive campaign to secure Emmy
X+ nominations for the popular cult series.
X+ Beginning this month (and extending through July),
X+ ads and promotional spots will appear in the media touting the show.
X+ In addition, reruns of its best episodes will be shown.
X+ Last year \f2Star Trek: The Next Generation\f1 was nominated for eight
X+ Emmys \- but all in technical categories \- and that, says Rick Berman,
X+ has everyone burning hotter than a warp-drive engine.
X+ ``In some demographic groups, this is the number three or four show,''
X+ says Berman.

X+ actors on television.

X+ .sp .35v
X+ Riker (Jonathan Frakes) faces two tough foes in this season-ending cliffhanger.
X+ .sp .35v
X+ For starters, there's Lt. Cmdr. Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy), Riker has been
X+ offered commans of the starship Melbourne, but he's ``comfortable'' as
X+ second-in-command on the Enterprise, and is reluctant to leave.
X+ The ambitious Shelby, who is on the Enterprise to probe the disappearance
X+ of colony on Jouret Four, intends to push him out.
X+ .sp .35v
X+ First, though, they both must contend with the Borg, a ruthless race of cyborgs
X+ that is probably behind the colony's disappearance.
X+ The Federation has never been able to stop the Borg,
X+ and this time is no exception: when the Borg ship materializes it traps the
X+ Enterprise and inflicts heavy damage to its hull.
X+ As the Enterprise limps away to hide in a solar nebula,
X+ 11 crew members are dead.

<X
<X make TXT2PAGES=-o53,55,57,59,61,63,65,67,69,71,73,75,77,79 \

<X
<X After you print these pages, do:
<X
<X rm sttng.txt2.ps sttng.txt3.ps
<X
<X Finally do the following:
<X
<X make TXT2PAGES=-o83,85,87,89,91,93,95 \
