Crushers grow close to Doe, Geordi grows close to another Enterprise crew
member, and all seems well with the exception of Doe's occasional mutative
side effects until Sunad - obviously of the same race as Doe - arrives to
take Doe, who he claims to be a dangerous criminal, prisoner. But it is
soon revealed that John Doe is an outcast from his own society because he
has been exiled by the normal elements of his people who fear his impending
mutation into a higher life form. When Sunad boards the Enterprise to take
Doe, Doe completes his mutation and, forgiving his persecutors, sends Sunad
back to his ship unharmed and departs from the Enterprise by himself.

Stardate 43989.1: Lt. Commander Shelby, a tactical advisor from Starfleet
with her eye on promotion to a first officer - perhaps of the Enterprise -
joins the crew as they investigate the latest planet victimized by the Borg.
After another Federation planet is attacked, the Enterprise sets off in
pursuit of the Borg. During the flight, Riker learns of Shelby's
impetuousity and the possibility that he himself is long overdue to command
a starship of his own. The Borg intercepts the Enterprise and does critical
damage, and the Enterprise enters a nebula to evade capture. When some
repairs are made, the Enterprise tries to escape but is captured by the
Borg. They board the Enterprise, kidnap Captain Picard, and warp toward
Earth. The Enterprise follows the Borg through Federation space until
Geordi can't keep the warp engines up to speed. Shelby leads an away team
to the Borg vessel where she, Worf, Data and Dr. Crusher sabotage the Borg's
internal power network. They are attacked and hold off their attackers
until the Borg adapt to generate their own shields against the crew's hand
phasers.
And Captain Picard is found - no longer human, modified into a Borg. The
away team returns to the Enterprise, leaving Riker with a momentous decision
- he must use a variation of the Enterprise's deflectors to disrupt the Borg
and possibly kill Picard.

74 THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS - part II
written by Michael Piller
directed by Cliff Bole
music by Ron Jones (Crescendo GNP cassette & CD # GNPD 8026)
Stardate 44001.4: The main deflector dish has no effect on the Borg because,
having assimilated Picard and converted him into their spokesman, Locutus,
the Borg know now every strategy and contingency that Picard had been
informed of before his kidnapping. Riker is promoted to Captain by Admiral
Hanson, who then leads a fleet of 40 starships to Wolf 359 to confront the
Borg, but the fleet's efforts are in vain - every starship is annihilated.
Riker orders a cunning attack consisting of awkward strategies that Picard
would never have carried out or expected, and an away team kidnaps Locutus
and returns him to the Enterprise. Data then links up to Locutus to access
the Borg communication network, and every approach he takes to disarm the
Borg down fails until the Borg arrive at Earth to begin their domination of
the Federation. Data triggers the Borg regeneration process, putting every
Borg to "sleep," but this also triggers the self-destruction of the Borg
ship. Picard is freed from the Borg, Shelby returns to Starfleet to rebuild
the fleet, and Riker remains on the Enterprise to continue serving as first
officer. However, staring out the window of his ready room, Picard's face
indicates that all is not well...
Of course, it was not even thought of at the time of this episode's
production, but one of the very few survivors of the Borg attack at Wolf 359
later turns up in his own series: Commander Sisko of "Deep Space Nine," the
premiere episode of which features scenes of the battle between the Borg and
the Federation that was mentioned in this episode.

inside a warp bubble, and the real crew on the real Enterprise must enlist
the help of the mysterious alien known as the Traveler to pull Dr. Crusher
back into reality before her warp bubble shrinks into nothingness.
Originally considered as a shipboard B-plot for the episode "Family,"
this story was given its own episode so as not to distract attention from
the earlier episode's central theme.

Stardate 44215.2: Rushing into dangerous territory on Turkana III, a planet
whose government once warned that any Federation personnel would die if they
visited there again, the Enterprise is looking for an escape pod containing
two men who left a critically damaged vessel. The pod has landed on Turkana
III, requiring an away team to visit. They find two "cadres" - urban gangs
so large they have replaced the government and now conduct their street
fighting on a warlike scale - one of which is willing to help find the
Federation shipwreck survivors. The Enterprise's liason to the cadre is the
younger sister of the late Tasha Yar, and no one knows whether or not to
trust her.

music by Ron Jones
Stardate 44246.3: The Enterprise is intercepted in deep space by a Klingon
battlecruiser occupied by K'mpec, leader of the High Council of the Klingon
Empire. With him is K'ehleyr, Worf's former lover, who has visited the
Enterprise before. This time she acts as Picard's aide in a role K'mpec has
chosen for him - the neutral arbiter to oversee the handover of the dying
K'mpec's powerful position to one of two contenders: Duras, whose cover-up
of his father's actions cost Worf his honor; or Gowron, a Klingon "outsider"
about whom little is known. But sabotage, including the assassination of
K'mpec, begins to point toward evidence of Romulan involvement...and Worf
must deal with the possibility that his son (by K'ehleyr) may lose his honor
if Worf reveals his relationship to him.
Alexander, Worf's son, returns to the Enterprise to stay in the fifth

directed by Les Landau
music by Dennis McCarthy
Stardate 44286.5: While investigating suspicious energy readings on Alpha
Onias III - a planet that would be ideal for a secret Romulan base - Riker,
Geordi and Worf are overcome by toxic gases. Geordi and Worf, however, are
rescued via transporter, while the Enterprise loses all trace of Riker.
Riker awakens in the sick bay of the Enterprise, told by an older Dr.
Crusher that sixteen years have passed since that event, and that a virus he
contracted on the mission to Alpha Onias III recently became active, causing
him to lose all memory back to that event. He is now the ship's Captain,
Data is First Officer, and Picard - now an Admiral - is completing the final
arrangements for the signing of a peace treaty between the Romulans and the
Federation, and Riker has a teenage son as well. But glaring mistakes soon
point out to Riker that this scenario is not, in fact, happening, and that
it's all a nearly perfect simulation. But the question remains - who's
behind it, the Romulans...or someone else?

time, the Enterprise is suddenly unable to go to warp speed. Data and
Geordi determine that they're caught in a field of steadily moving two
dimensional particles that seem to be alive, while Troi realizes that she's

investigating a mysterious migration of previous explorers to the planet
Tarchannen 3 are beginning to mutate into alien life forms and migrate to
the planet themselves. Among them are Lt. Commander Leitjen, visiting the
Enterprise, and Geordi La Forge. While Dr. Crusher keeps Leitjen in sick

"Cyrano de Bergerac" with Dr. Crusher, Lt. Barclay is assigned to accompany
Geordi on a close examination, via shuttle, of an alien probe that has
impeded the functioning of a subspace telescope array. But after being
scanned, the probe somehow singles Barclay out to receive a massive mental
"upgrade," doing away with the lieutenant's legendary reclusiveness and
shyness, and replacing those traits of his personality with knowledge and
learning abilities beyond human experience...and arrogance.

Stardate 44741.9: Picard is readying a speech on the subject of the planet
Tagus 3, whose archaelogical digs are off-limits to outsiders, to be
delivered to a group of distinguished archaeologists, and is surprised to
find that Vash, a very fondly remembered acquaintance from his visit to
Risa, is present as well, no doubt to fulfill her nefarious urge to go
treasure-seeking. She and Picard seem to be able to agree on nothing, which
catches the attention of Q, who, to force Picard to admit that he does
indeed love Vash, sends the crew, Vash, and even himself, into Sherwood
Forest. Picard, of course, becomes Robin Hood, his crew become Robin's
merry men, Q becomes Guy of Gisbourne, and Vash, naturally, is the damsel
in distress...a role she doesn't play willingly, or, indeed, correctly!
Clive Revill, the Sheriff of Nottingham in this story, also has another
well-known science fiction saga in his resume: he provided the voice (and a
shimmering but fuzzy image) of the Galactic Emperor in "The Empire Strikes
Back" in 1980 (Ian McDiarmid took that role over in 1983's "Return of the
Jedi" when the Emperor finally made a personal appearance in the saga).

committed by Klingon exchange officer J'Ddan, Starfleet sends Admiral Nora
Satie out of retirement to investigate the possibility of a Klingon faction
cooperating with Romulans. But Satie goes beyond that, accusing a shy
junior crewman of Romulan collaboration and even accusing Captain Picard of
aiding Romulans and the Borg.
This episode begins a build-up to the season finale dealing with a
possible Romulan-Klingon alliance. It was also the last episode of "The
Next Generation" to be scored by composer Ron Jones, who was fired by the

Stardate 44805.3: Kalon scientist Dr. Timicin has beamed aboard the
Enterprise to travel to a star much like his planet's own sun to conduct
tests of a modified photon torpedo that could reduce the level of solar
activity - something that needs to be done within decades, or Kalon II's sun
will explode, eradicating his people. When the test fails, Timicin
continues, but he is due back on Kalon II so he may carry out the Resolution
- a traditional Kalon ceremony in which one ends one's life by painless
suicide at sixty. Lwaxana Troi, also visiting the Enterprise, tries to
convince Timicin to continue living, although his request for asylum from
his people could result in war.

dispute, and on the two week trip he and Dr. Crusher have fallen in love.
But when a faction of radicals attacks the shuttlecraft Odan has insisted
upon taking to the surface of one of the moons - he refuses to use the
transporter - Odan is severely injured and is forced to reveal that he is,
in fact, an alien parasite within a humanoid host body. When Odan's fellow
Trills cannot send another host in time to save the parasite's life, and a
countdown to war begins on the two moons, Riker risks his own life to serve
as a temporary host.

shadows at all times, Geordi is tortured and brainwashed to obey, without
question, instructions transmitted on a certain wavelength to his VISOR.
When he returns to the Enterprise - with "memories" of his trip implanted
into his mind - Picard deals with a belligerent Klingon colony governor who
accuses the Federation of assisting a rebel political faction. In fact,
however, there is another Klingon responsible for this, and he is relaying
Romulan instructions to Geordi, who may unwittingly become an assassin...

written by Ronald D. Moore
directed by Cliff Bole
music by Dennis McCarthy
Stardate 44995.3: The Enterprise is summoned to the Klingon homeworld so
Picard may fulfill his final duty as arbiter of the succession of power
there. Gowron intercepts the Enterprise before it arrives, warning Picard
that Klingon civil war is brewing.
Gowron, about to take control of the empire, is challenged by Lursa and
B'etor, the sisters of Duras, who offer his son Toral as an alternative
candidate for the throne. Picard, attempting to remain completely neutral
in order to avoid accusations that the Federation is taking a hand in
Klingon politics, denies Toral's challenge. Those who would the family of
Duras attack Gowron's ship as he and Worf discuss the redemption of Worf's
family honor. Worf's brother, Kurn, who now leads four squadrons of Klingon
ships, saves Gowron from the attackers, but the victory is only temporary.
With the revelation that Kurn is also a member of Worf's family, Gowron
returns Worf's honor to him.
Gowron then requests Federation assistance from Picard, who refuses,
citing the recent attack as strictly internal Klingon matters to be dealt
with only by the Empire, without Federation interference. Worf requests a
leave of absence to stay temporarily on Gowron's ship. When Picard denies
permission to do this, Worf resigns from Starfleet and leaves anyway.
After Worf departs, the Enterprise leaves the Klingon homeworld to avoid
any further involvement. But on the Klingon planet, in the quarters of
Lursa and B'etor, a Romulan officer in the shadows steps forth and predicts
that Picard may return because "humans have a way of showing up when you
least expect them." And this is very true, for the words come from a woman
who bears a very strong resemblance to Tasha Yar...in Romulan uniform.

Stardate 45020.4: War erupts between the forces of Gowron and those of the
family of Duras. The forces of Duras are winning even after Gowron's fleets
destroy all of their possible supply bases.
Picard plans to take starships the Klingon/Romulan border to act as a
blockade against Romulan aid to the Duras followers. Various Enterprise
officers are assigned to other ships, most notably Data as captain of the
starship Sutherland, whose first officer, Hobson, objects to serving under
an android commander.
Commander Sela, half-human, half-Romulan daughter of Tasha Yar, demands
that the Federation leave the border. Guinan reveals that Sela is the
product of the Tasha Yar who was sent to the Enterprise-C by Picard.
Gowron launches a surprise attack on their enemies. Lursa and B'etor
send a plea for aid. Sela tries to slip past the Sutherland, but Data foils
the plan and the Romulans are revealed and forced to retreat, leaving Lursa
and B'etor helpless. They escape and abandon Toral, leaving him to Gowron.
Gowron offers Worf a chance to slay Toral, but Worf chooses not to judge
Toral by his father's actions and rejoins the crew of the Enterprise.
As later noted when they unexpectedly arrived at Deep Space Nine, the
Duras sisters are listed by the Klingon government as renegades, but still
remain at large with at least one ship of their own, trying to raise capital
for a second grab at the throne of the Klingon Empire.

Stardate 45047.2: The Enterprise and a Tamarian ship rendezvous at El-Adrel
IV and Tamarian Captain Dathon opens communications. The Tamarians speak
incomprehensibly, using English words laced with names from their culture.
After the contact fails, Dathon and his first officer argue over Dathon's
statement, "Darmok and Jelad at Tenagra." Dathon vanishes, and Picard is
kidnapped via transporter. Both are beamed to the planet, where Dathon
attempts to communicate again. Picard deciphers the language, finding that
it is based on Tamarian folklore and metaphors. "Darmok and Jelad at
Tenagra" refers to two heroes who traveled separately to a distant island,
defeated a mighty beast, and left together. El-Adrel is home to such a
creature, and Dathon hopes that the Tamarians and the Federation can begin
a friendship by likewise defeating a common enemy. When the beast attacks,
Picard is immobilized by an attempt to rescue him through interference
projected from the Tamarian ship, while Dathon is mortally wounded. Picard
can now negotiate in the Tamarian language - if he survives the creature's
next attack.

Stardate 45076.3: Admiral Kennelly assigns the Enterprise to help resolve
tensions with the Bajora, an isolated, once-advanced race whose territory
was long ago taken by the Cardassians. Since then, the Bajora have carried
out terrorist attacks on the Cardassians, and now, according to Kennelly,
the Bajora have traveled outside their own system and attacked a Federation
outpost. The Enterprise is to contact the Bajoran terrorist leader Orta and
offer serious discussions after years of sympathetic talk and no action.
Ensign Ro Laren, herself a Bajoran - recently court-martialed but pulled out
of prison by Kennelly - is assigned to the Enterprise. Ro is an abrasive
officer who does not want to be on the ship or the mission. She does,
however, tell Picard to contact Keeve, leader of a Bajoran colony that has
no technology and isn't even able to adequately feed or clothe its own
people. On another planet, Picard contacts Orta - after being abducted by
Orta's guards - and discovers that the Bajora do not have the resources to
attack anything beyond their own system. Ro then reveals to Picard that
Kennelly is aware of this, and that she and the Enterprise are being used by
the Cardassians to quietly get rid of the Bajora "threat" by escorting them
straight into the Cardassians' line of fire.

Data, like his "brother," is aiding the Entity. During the investigation,
Marr is convinced that Data is not responsible for the attack and finds that
his memories of his home include memories of the colonists who died there.

Stardate 45233.1: One of the Federation's most valued advisors, Spock, has
been seen on Romulus. Picard is assigned to go to Romulus undercover and
find out if Spock has defected from the Federation. The Enterprise goes to
Vulcan, where Picard visits Sarek, and Riker investigates the recovered
wreckage of a Vulcan ship. Sarek, near death, suggests that Spock may have
gone to visit Pardek, a Romulan peace advocate Spock met at the Khitomer
peace conference decades ago.
The next stop is the Klingon planet, where Picard borrows a cloaked ship
to cross the Neutral Zone. Picard and Data, equipped with disguises, head
for Romulus. Federation shipyard operator Dokachen assists Riker in the
wreckage investigation. They find an unidentified ship receiving supplies
from the shipyard without authorization. The ship fires at the Enterprise,
which fires back at minimum power - yet the other vessel explodes.
Data and Picard, having just received news of Sarek's death, beam to
Romulus and find Pardek, but before they can follow him, guards stop them
and lead them to Pardek...and they discover that Spock is indeed alive and
well on Romulus.

Stardate 45245.8: Spock is promoting the idea of reunification of Romulus and
Vulcan. Pardek gains Spock an audience with the Proconsul, Neral, who says
he will endorse reunification. Picard is skeptical, to the annoyance of
Spock, who thinks Picard's impression of him has been colored by Sarek.
Neral is plotting with Sela to invade Vulcan with stolen Vulcan ships in the
guise of a peace envoy and escorts.
Riker gets the truth about the vessel destroyed in the shipyard out of
the Ferengi accomplice of the ship's pilot. An intact Vulcan ship was to be
delivered to the Neutral Zone border to Romulans for the invasion fleet.
Picard, Spock and Data are taken prisoner when betrayed by Pardek. Sela
prepares a hologram of Spock to read a statement about the peaceful mission
of the Romulans. When Sela leaves to see the ships off, Data and Spock
program the hologram to warn the Federation. The Enterprise intercepts the
ships, but a Romulan Warbird destroys the Vulcan ships instead of allowing
any evidence to remain of the invasion plot.
Picard, Data and Spock escape, and rejoin Spock's Romulan followers in a
new hiding place. Spock insists on staying so that he may continue to
influence opinions on Romulus, even if only on a small scale.

ostensibly a 26th century historian who has traveled in time to observe the
crew's activities. Refusing to answer any questions about the future,
Rasmussen watches while attempts to salvage the planet almost worsen its
condition. When Picard must make a decision that could destroy everyone on
the planet or save them, he asks Rasmussen to tell him what history says
about the outcome of the Enterprise's mission - but the time traveler
carefully avoids answering...and Picard wonders if Rasmussen is really
protecting history, or if he even knows anything about the future at all.

of propulsion that would render warp engines obsolete by generating a wave
that a starship would "ride" like a surfboard. While preparing for the
test, Worf receives a message from Helena that she and Worf's son have come
to visit. When they beam aboard, Alexander believes that he is staying on
the Enterprise, and Helena tells Worf that Alexander has been disobedient
and even untruthful, which is proven when, after enrolling in the ship's
school, he steals a model on a field trip. Picard orders part of the ship
to be evacuated after a freak accident with the propulsion experiment, but
he and Worf discover that Alexander, once again in defiance of Worf's
instructions, has gone to that section of the ship.

engineered humans on Moab IV, a planet which will be devastated by the
stellar fragment's close pass. Although his advisor Martin is hostile to
the idea of introducing strangers to the perfectly balanced society, Conor,
the colony's leader, allows an Enterprise awat team to visit Moab IV. Troi
and Conor enter a relationship, while engineer Hannah Bates works alongside
Geordi to strive for an impossible discovery - moving the massive chunk of
star debris without evacuating - and thus imbalancing - the colony. Even
after using an technological offshoot of Geordi's VISOR to release Moab IV
from its death sentence, the Enterprise crew discovers that it may have now
endangered the colony even worse by revealing a different way of life to the
inhabitants.

crew's memories of who they are and everyone else around them, as well as
specific computer files containing the crew records, are erased, although
everyone still remembers their Starfleet skills, although others react
differently without any knowledge of who they once were or what they did:
Worf assumes command of the ship, while Riker and Ensign Ro are attracted
to one another in a way neither would normally admit. Geordi eventually
recovers the computer's crew manifest containing names, ranks and duties,
identifying Commander Kieran MacDuff - who mysteriously appeared as soon as
the crew's memories were damaged - as first officer. The computer finally
divulges the basics of the Enterprise's current mission: to seek out and
destroy the main base of the Lysian Alliance, with whom, according to the
records, the Federation has been at war for many years. Although some
members of the crew begin to question their orders as well as the unusualy
selective damage done to their memories and the computer, Commander MacDuff
insists that the ship press on the attack.

Stardate 45571.2: Investigating a 200-year-old Starfleet distress signal
emanating from a planet which happens to be the last known location of the
starship Essex, the Enterprise sends a shuttle through the planet's stormy
atmosphere. The shuttle, with Riker, Troi and Data on board, crash lands,
resulting in Riker breaking an arm. Chief O' Brien beams down with a device
to boost the transporter signal so the away team can be rescued, but all
four are struck by a lightning-like discharge and all but Riker are knocked
out. Riker operates the transporter booster and returns them to the
Enterprise, where Troi, O' Brien and Data take over the ship under the
influence of aliens from the planet. They enter Ten Forward and take
hostages, announcing that they are actually the spirits of the Essex crew.
Demanding that their physical remains be recovered from the planet and
returned to Earth, Troi - apparently taken over by the dead captain of the
Essex - threatens to kill the hostages (including Keiko and her baby), and
Picard's attempts to negotiate accomplish nothing, aside from convincing him

Worf is paralyzed from the waist down, and Dr. Crusher can offer little in
the way of hopes for complete recovery. The visiting Dr. Russell sees
Worf's injury as a perfect chance to test her new device, which can - in
theory - replicate entire organs after scanning the DNA of the original.
Crusher disagrees, however, citing Russell's device as experimental at best,
and refusing to allow Russell to operate. When Worf - claiming that life as
an invalid would be a dishonorable burden to he and his family - begins to
try to enlist Riker's help in committing suicide, Crusher is forced to let
Russell attempt to restore Worf's spinal cord - an operation that could
easily end the Klingon's life, leaving many of the crew concerned for Worf
as well as Alexander.

missing space shuttle, the Enterprise crew discovers a pocket of null space
from which energy emissions cannot escape. Riker and J'naii pilot Soren
take an Enterprise shuttlecraft into the null zone to investigate, a trip on
which Soren makes Riker uneasy by her unusual curiosity about human
sexuality, and says that such practices among J'naii would be considered
repugnant. Preparing for another trip, Soren reveals to Riker that she is
one of a group of outlaws among the J'naii who embrace the "ancient" genders
of male and female. After rescuing the J'naii shuttle crew and returning
them safely, the Enterprise crew is invited to a celebration on the J'naii
planet, during which Riker and Soren take their relationship a good deal
further. When the other J'naii discover this, Soren is taken into custody
so her "deviance" can be "cured," and Riker decides that he must disobey the
prime directive to rescue Soren from her own society.

herself to bits.
Stardate 45652.1: Investigating a previously unexplored area of space, the
Enterprise crew expects nothing but the normal routine of the unknown.
After Dr. Crusher makes a mysterious complaint about hearing voices in her
quarters, a time disturbance is detected close to the ship. After Picard
orders Ro to distance the Enterprise from the phenomenon, all power is lost
and a Federation starship emerges from the rift, colliding with the
Enterprise, and the engine core, after the warp engines take critical
damage, is destablized. Picard orders all hands to evacuate, and the
Enterprise blasts herself to bits.
Investigating an unexplored area of space, the Enterprise crew expects
nothing but the normal routine of the unknown. Shortly after Dr. Crusher
and Riker begin to notice that events are repeating themselves, Dr. Crusher
complains about hearing voices in her quarters. A time disturbance is
detected close to the ship. After Picard orders Ro to distance the
Enterprise from the phenomenon, all power is lost and a Federation starship
emerges from the rift, colliding with the Enterprise, and the engine core,
after the warp engines take critical damage, is destablized. Picard orders
all hands to evacuate, and the Enterprise blasts herself to bits.
Investigating an unexplored area of space, the Enterprise crew expects
nothing but the normal routine of the unknown. After Riker, Worf and Dr.
Crusher notice that events are repeating, Crusher waits for and records the
voices in her quarters at the same time Geordi's sensors detect an anomaly.
Data analyzes the voices and reports that they are the voices of the crew.
The Enterprise has entered a time loop in which all events that occurred
since the ship's actual entry recur, and the "afterimages" of the events
trapped in the loop allow the crew to know what is about to happen to them
again. Data plans to leave himself a "message" that he will receive in a
"subconscious" way, but before he can get far with his idea, a disturbance
is detected near the ship. Picard orders Ro to distance the Enterprise
from the phenomenon, and then all power is lost and the starship emerges
from the rift, colliding with the Enterprise, and the engine core is
destablized. Picard orders evacuation as Data transmits his message to the
Data in the next time loop, and the Enterprise blasts herself to bits.
Dr. Crusher notices events repeating once more. Data receives his own
message just as Crusher once again records the voices in her quarters. The
time disturbance appears, and Picard hesitantly repeats his order to stand
off from the rift. The power drain occurs again, as does the emergence of
the other ship. Data suddenly changes the chain of events by taking a
course of action the crew has rejected in every time loop up till now, and
the collision is avoided. The Enterprise has been caught in the time loop
for nearly 18 days, but upon contacting the captain of the other ship, it
is obvious that he and his crew have been repeating their collision with the
Enterprise for over 70 years.

looking forward to an aerial stunt display performed in orbit over Saturn
by Nova Squadron, the Academy's elite flight group, including Wes Crusher.
As the Enterprise arrives, news reaches Picard and Dr. Crusher that Nova
Squadron's five planes have collided during a practice maneuver, injuring
four of the pilots and killing one of them.
An inquiry is launched into the accident, and squadron leader Locarno -
backed up by Wes and the other cadets - testifies that blame lies on Cadet
Joshua Albert, who died. Picard, while the investigation is underway, pays
a visit to his old friend Boothby, the Academy gardener since Picard's days
as a cadet. Wise old Boothby, and later Picard himself, begin to wonder if
perhaps the surviving cadets of Nova Squadron aren't simply diverting the
responsibility for their own mistake.

Stardate not given: The Enterprise is on an urgent mission to destroy an
asteroid on a collision course with an inhabited planet. The asteroid is
obliterated, but a metal-consuming substance riding the asteroid transfers
to the hull of the Enterprise. Later, Worf and Alexander argue in Troi's
office about their latest father-son dispute over the family rules, and as
if that experience isn't enough of a headache, Lwaxana Troi beams aboard on
her way to get married to Campio, a member of another planet's royalty (and
Mrs. Troi reluctantly admits she hasn't actually met him yet), and she
begins to interfere with Worf's relationship with Alexander, trying to show
the boy how to revel in rebelling against authority. While Counselor Troi
tells her mother not to intercede in Worf's family affairs, a problem is
discovered with the ship's systems, caused by the metal "virus" (of which
the crew is not yet aware). Mrs. Troi later reveals to Alexander that she
isn't entirely sure about her upcoming marriage to Campio (who beams aboard
with an ever-present aide whose duty seems to be that of making sure all of
Campio's actions are as neutral and inoffensive as possible). The life
support systems come under attack by the erosive substance, and when Picard
orders the ship to warp to the nearest starbase, the engines are the next
target of the virus, jeopardizing the Enterprise and everyone aboard.

Stardate 45761.3: After rescuing a party of stranded miners, the Enterprise
continues its mission to take Ambassador Bre'em and his cargo - an unusual
cocoon - to meet Alrik of Volt so that their two worlds can end centuries of
conflict. But when a Ferengi shuttlecraft is spotted in need of immediate
help, Picard is forced to pick up the two Ferengi, who actually faked their
emergency. The nosy Ferengi damage Bre'em's cocoon, which melts away to
reveal the lovely empath Kamala, who grabs the attention of every man in her
sight, and initially thinks that Picard's authoritarian demeanor makes him
her future mate. Kamala is being transported as the property of Bre'em's
government, and she is to be delivered - as a gift - to Alrik of Volt. Dr.
Crusher convinces Picard that the ambassador's treatment of Kamala as an
object is inhumane, but the possible results of allowing Kamala free roam of
the ship could be more risky than transporting her as cargo, since her very
accurate empathic ability allows her to become the perfect mate for whomever
she spends the most time with, whether that happens to be Riker, Worf, a
group of unruly miners, Captain Picard...

Ensign Sutter and his young daughter Clara are in Troi's office, where Clara
is talking about her imaginary friend Isabella. Ensign Sutter, whose
Starfleet career hasn't allowed him to stay in one place long enough for
Clara to make any friends, is concerned that Clara's insistence on
Isabella's existence is abnormal, but Troi doesn't think it is anything to
worry about. An energy form enters the Enterprise, it materializes just as
Clara imagines Isabella and begins to have Clara show it around the ship.
Meanwhile, other energy-beings like "Isabella" begin to weave a web of
strands around the ship to slow it down so they can feed off its power
source. The crew realizes that the only way to try to communicate with the
energy-beings is by having Clara try to summon Isabella.

survivor is found amidst the wreckage of a scout ship, a young male Borg
which is taken back to the Enterprise. As Picard is faced with a reminder
of his ordeal with the Borg and argues with Guinan about the logic of
bringing the Borg aboard, Geordi tries to instill the ship's Borg guest with
a sense of individuality, starting by nicknaming him "Hugh." The crew is
preparing a plan to send Hugh back with a computer virus that would unravel

Stardate 45959.1: An excavation team on Earth summons the Enterprise to
Earth, claiming to have found evidence of extraterrestrial visitors to the
planet in the 19th century. Picard and Data are shown an astonishing
artifact unearthed near Starfleet Academy: the head of Data, although he -
with his head intact - is still serving on the Enterprise. As Data
contemplates the news, Geordi traces a micro-organism discovered in
fossilized form mear Data's head to the planet Davidia II. The Enterprise
heads for that world immediately, where an away team beams down without
Data, who believes the others are overreacting to his impending fate. Troi
sense life on the planet, although no beings are visible. Data, whose head
contains a component that could allow him to see the invisible life forms,
beams down and phases into the beings' plane, reporting many large humanoid
beings and an alien of some sort. Data is then snatched through time - to
San Francisco in the late 1800s. He immediately begins making preparations
to continue the exploration he was conducting on Davidia II after winning
big in a local poker game. Elsewhere in the city, two humans - or at least
aliens in the guise of humans - patrol the streets, finding a beggar and
using a camouflaged device to steal the energy from his body, killing him.
Meanwhile, Picard readies another away team when Guinan gives him cryptic
advice, telling him he must join the away team. Data, in the 19th century,
discovers that Guinan is on Earth in the same time period, though centuries
before she met any of the Enterprise crew. Also present at the social
function where Data finds Guinan is one Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark
Twain, who overhears Data and Guinan discussing Data's real origins. On
Davidia II, the away team replicates Data's experiment and they see the same
life forms. Two beings arrive from an temporal rift, unloading more energy
for their fellow aliens to feed on - energy taken from humans on Earth at
the moment of death, according to Troi's empathic sense. Picard, Riker,
Troi, Geordi and Dr. Crusher enter the gateway, which closes behind them as
they travel back in time to search for Data and find out why alien beings
are interfering with human history.

Stardate 46001.3: After Picard and the away team manage to find indigenous
clothes and lodging, they begin a task which Data, separately, has pursued
since arriving - attempting to track down the aliens. They find a couple,
disguised as a doctor and nurse, who have been stealing neural energy and
escaping unnoticed, and the deaths then are attributed to a cholera epidemic
of the period. In the meantime, Data has enlisted the help of Guinan, but
has run into some unwelcome curiosity from Samuel Clemens, who trails both
Data and Guinan assuming that they've arrived from the future with evil
intentions. Picard's away team captures the key to the aliens' neural
energy-gathering trips but the aliens themselves escape. Picard's party is
rescued from arrest by Data, who then introduces Guinan to Picard for the
first time in her life. They then travel to the cavern where Data's head
will be discovered in the 24th century, followed by Clemens. As Clemens
pulls a gun on the travelers, the aliens return to retrieve their creature,
but Data holds on to it, and one of the aliens escapes through a temporal
rift. The energy surge causes Data to explode, and the alien nurse is left
behind, dying. Riker, Crusher, Troi and Geordi return to the 24th century,
taking Data's decapitated body with them - and again, they are followed by
Clemens. Picard remains to make sure Guinan is unharmed, while the crew, in

Stardate 46041.1: The Enterprise locates the missing starship Yosemite,
adrift in a matter stream between binary stars. A link between the two
ships' transporters must be established so an away team can investigate the
Yosemite, but Lt. Barclay, assigned to the away team, reveals his life-long
fear of transporting. Troi convinces him to overcome his fear long enough
to beam over to the Yosemite. Beaming back to the Enterprise later, Barclay
is sure he sees some kind of creature in the transport beam approach and
touch him. Fearing he has contracted a psychosis caused by the transporter
scrambling his brain, he becomes so preoccupied that Troi relieves him of
duty while Geordi and Data begin reconstructing a mysteriously shattered
sample container form the Yosemite, an experiment which reveals that there
are indeed life forms in the matter stream. And Barclay is exhibiting early
symptoms of something that may have killed the Yosemite's crew.

introduces as his mother is attacked en route to mediation sessions between
the warring societies of Reycag and Seronia. Alkar's party transfers to the
Enterprise, which will complete their journey. On the way, Alkar befriends
Troi, but this meets with intense hostility from his elderly companion. The
old woman suddenly dies soon afterward, and Alkar asks Troi to assist him in
performing the funeral meditiation sacred to his race. After performing the
ceremony, Troi begins to feel unusually angry, jealous and amorous toward
Alkar and others on board. Dr. Crusher uncovers evidence that Troi's
condition has been inflicted deliberately by Alkar, telepathically
depositing his dark emotions in Troi, aging her body and destroying her
mind, and the only release for Troi may be death.

Stardate not given: While responding to a distress signal, the Enterprise
encounters a Dyson sphere, a colossal artificial structure whose habitable
interior surface is powered by a small star kept in the center of the
sphere. The source of the distress signal, a 75-year-old transport ship, is
found crashed into the outside surface of the sphere. An away team recovers
a single survivor, who, when his ship crashed and no help was expected to
arrive for quite some time, used an innovative last-ditch transporter
modification to suspend himself. The occupant turns out to be Captain
Montogmery Scott, chief engineer of the original Enterprise. Scotty is
welcomed aboard the modern Enterprise, but soon finds that his skills and
knowledge are of no use to Starfleet in the 24th century. In an attempt to
make the uneasy visitor from the past feel useful, Picard assigns Geordi to
take Scotty to work on the systems of the crashed transport ship, but the
Enterprise is then captured and taken into the interior of the Dyson sphere
by unknown forces. Scotty, left aboard the small, damaged ship with Geordi,
may once again be the only hope for a starship called Enterprise.

him problems, and Worf feeling unusually jumpy, it becomes apparent that an
external influence is responsible. Counselor Troi investigates and finds
that several crew members have complained of similar symptoms stemming from
unsettling dreams. Gradually, using a holodeck recreation of the dream
environment programmed by those suffering the unusual effects, a mysterious
string of experiments conducted by aliens from within the physical domain of
subspace is discovered. As more incidents occur, with the crew powerless to

afterward, Q arrives and informs the crew that Amanda is a fledgling Q whose
powers, just emerging, are beginning to concern the Q Continuum. The crew
is left with no choice but to allow Q to tutor Amanda on matters of the
responsibilities involved with possessing godlike powers, since, obviously,
none of them have any knowledge on the subject. But it gradually becomes

Stardate 46235.7: A shuttlecraft bringing Picard, Guinan, Ensign Ro and Keiko
collides with an energy disturbance, necessitating an emergency rescue via
transporter. But the energy field disrupts transport, and the passengers
from the shuttle arrive as children, though their minds are unaffected.
They find it difficult to adjust - Picard worries about his lack of command
presence, Ro despises being relieved of duty, and O' Brien can't cope with
Keiko's sudden reversion to youth. Guinan, however, seems to be enjoying
herself. The ship continues on a course to respond to a distress call from
a science team. On arrival at the site, the Enterprise is attacked by two
Klingon ships which have been taken over by Ferengi. The Ferengi board the
Enterprise and begin beaming the crew off to serve, along with the captured

west adventure on the holodeck with Troi. Meanwhile, Data and Geordi
experience a malfunction during a test of Data's ability to interface with
the ship's main computer, though they do not initially realize the extent of
the malfunction. Shipwide computer errors occur, ranging from Spot's cat
food being dispensed from every food slot, to images of Data replacing

Stardate 46307.2: The Enterprise arrives at Tyrus 7A to observe a new
experimental method of mining, the particle fountain, which uses a stream of
high-density particles to extract and lift planet-based ore from an orbiting
station. A malfunction occurs while Geordi is visiting the station, and Dr.
Farallon, the ambitious head of the particle fountain project, introduces
her other innovation, a small repair robot called an exo-comp, which is able
to correct the problem almost instantly. Later, while Data is visiting the
station, another accident happens and Data notices an exo-comp exhibiting a
will to survive. Data hypothesizes that the exo-comps are living beings
with their own intelligence, and possibly the beginnings of sentience. But
when he asked to prove that the exo-comps are alive, one of them appears to
fail a test on the Enterprise, but has actually realized that it is being
tested, and is therefore intelligent and alive, though Dr. Farallon refuses
to acknowledge the exo-comps' status. A crisis strands Picard and Geordi on
the station, endangered by rising radiation levels, and Farallon proposes a
solution which would amount to a suicide mission for the exo-comps. When
the crew prepares to implement the solution and save Picard and Geordi, Data
stands in the way of the rescue operation to protect the exo-comps' rights.

Stardate 46357.4: Near the border of Cardassian space, Picard is unexpectedly
reassigned by Starfleet. There are indications that the Cardassians are
mobilizing for war with the Federation. Picard, Dr. Crusher and Worf get
ready for a mission they can't speak about to anyone. Captain Jellico, now
in command of the Enterprise, doesn't score any points with the crew in his
unusual demands that the ship be made combat ready. En route to Celtris III
Picard tells Worf and Dr. Crusher that the Cardassians may be perfecting a
nearly invincible new form of biological warfare. Meanwhile at the border,
Jellico begins talks with Cardassian representatives which confuse them and
the Enterprise's officers. On Celtris III, Picard's team find themselves in

Picard is tortured in the Cardassians' attempt to find out more about the
defenses of Minos Korva, a planet once sought by the Cardassians in their
war with the Federation. On the Enterprise, Jellico prepares for all-out
war in the event of a collapse of diplomatic relations, but meets with open
disapproval from Riker. Jellico relieves Riker of his duties and continues
to deny that Picard's mission was ordered by Starfleet, which disqualifies
Picard from the terms of the Federation-Cardassian treaty concerning fair
treatment of prisoners of war. Picard resists further torture but is pushed
to the limits of his endurance while Gul Madred continues to question him
about Minos Korva, of which Picard knows nothing. Meanwhile, Jellico
confronts the Cardassians and calls their bluff after discovering a flotilla
of their warships hiding near Minos Korva. He successfully demands a

Stardate 46424.1: As the Enterprise is en route to witness the collision of
two gaseous planets, Data and Geordi visit the London of Sherlock Holmes,
noticing small program anomalies. Barclay checks the holodeck's programming
and unwittingly reactivates a program which had been created and put into
storage four years before when Moriarty, in another Holmes program, evolved
into Data's ideal adversary. Moriarty demands to talk to Picard. Unknown
to the crew, he has been alive and aware in the computer's memory the whole
time, and he defies the laws of physics by stepping out of the holodeck and
roaming the Enterprise. Moriarty asks that a Countess with whom he fell in
love in the course of another holodeck program be brought to life to
accompany him, but Picard is reluctant, preferring instead to research just
how Moriarty has achieved corporeal existence, and to determine whether or
not the professor intends to continue his legendary criminal activities. As
it turns out, Moriarty is indeed planning on attempting a swindle of an
immense scale - but Picard means to see that Moriarty's scheme is limited to
the scale of the holodeck.

Lt. Aquiel Uhnari, searching for clues about what happened on the station.
There are signs that she had experienced personality conflicts with the
station's senior officer and only other occupant, and her logs mention
visits from a belligerent Klingon. The Klingon is located by Picard, and
the Klingons reveal that they have found Lt. Uhnari in the station's missing

defection attempt by a Vice-Proconsul of the Romulan High Council. With the
clandestine guidance of a member of the Romulan crew, Troi plays her role
convincingly. In the meantime, a former human defector to Romulus returns
to the Federation and arrives on the Enterprise with a message to Picard
from Ambassador Spock, who remains in hiding on Romulus assisting defectors
and dissidents. The message sends an unwitting Picard to rendezvous with

how to interpret or proceed from this experience, Data seeks the advice of
many others, including Worf. Still contemplating a possible journey to find
his father, Worf advises Data to pursue the search for his own "father" at
whatever the cost, while Worf himself finally resolves to embark on a

cases producing children. Worf befriends Gi'ral, a Klingon-Romulan girl who
seems more fascinated with him. He discovers, through her and a young
Klingon boy named Toq, that the children of the colony know little or
nothing of either race's heritage. Worf intends to remedy what he perceives

ship, since it will be conducted with a beam that is deadly to living
tissue. At a nearby starbase, most of the crew tries to avoid Commander
Hutchinson, an interminably boring officer hosting a reception. At the
mention of horses on the planet, Picard decides to return to the Enterprise
briefly to get his saddle, but while there, he notices that unauthorized
modifications have been made by a team posing as starbase technicians. As
the sweep begins with the aft end of the ship and moves slowly forward,
Picard prepares to beam back to the starbase to warn security, but ship's

larger than their previously known forms of transport. The Borg have also
changed, now possessing some form of individuality and emotion - and they
have also developed a desire to simply kill organic life forms, not absorb
them into the Borg collective consciousness. A squadron of Borg attack an
away team from the Enterprise, and Data, in the process of fending off a
Borg, experiences an inexplicable flash of ruthless anger and kills the
Borg. The attacking party defeated, the away team returns to the Enterprise
and Picard contacts Starfleet. The new Borg pose an unknown but likely more
serious threat than ever before to the Federation. After determining the
new Borg ship's method of propulsion, the Enterprise follows and is attacked
once again. Meanwhile, Data has yet to make any further progress in his

scheduled to shuttle back to Iyar, while Iyaaran ambassadors Loquel and
Byleth remain on the Enterprise. The Iyaaran shuttle taking Picard back to
their homeworld crash-lands on a planet covered with violent electrical
storms, one of whose plasma lightning bolts injures Picard when he leaves
the shuttle to look for medical aid for the critically injured pilot. A
woman named Anna, who has apparently been stranded alone on the planet for
seven years, gets Picard to shelter inside a crashed freighter. On the
Enterprise, ambassadors Loquel and Byleth test the patience of their
respective hosts, Troi and Worf, while Picard has to contend with a woman
whose isolation has driven her to try to keep him in the crashed vessel with
her - but Picard learns that no survivors of the freighter's complement or
crew are actually still alive.

154 INTERFACE
written by Joe Menosky
directed by Robert Wiemer
music by Jay Chattaway
Stardate 47215.5: A new interface is being tested by Geordi to control remote
unmanned probes. Utilizing his VISOR implants, Geordi is able to see, hear
and experience whatever conditions the probe encounters. His interface with
the probe comes in useful while the Enterprise investigates the loss of the
starship Raman. But during the mission, Picard receives word that the
starship Hera, commanded by Geordi's mother, has disappeared with all hands,
and Starfleet, despite dispatching two more vessels to search, does not
expect to find the Hera or any of her crew. Geordi is profoundly affected
by the news, and when he encounters an image of his mother on the Raman, he
goes against his father's advice and Picard's direct orders and tries to use
his unique interface with the probe to find out what has happened to her.

teleplay by Naren Shankar
story by Christopher Hatton and Naren Shankar
directed by Peter Lauritson
music by Jay Chattaway
Stardate 47135.2: Riker, Troi, Worf and Crusher are searching for the missing
Captain Picard on Desica II to no avail. A Yridian claims he witnessed
Picard's death in a seedy bar after an argument with a group of aliens, and
offers to give Riker some clues in exchange for safe passage off the planet.
Once aboard the Enterprise, the Yridian leads Riker to a planet in the
Barada system, where an away team led by Riker beams down to hunt for
possible leads in the investigation. A well-armed group of aliens under the
command of a Romulan ambushes the away team, and Riker is captured and
beamed away with the attackers. Data takes command of the Enterprise and
pursues the alien ship. Riker finds himself in the hands of a band of
mercenaries commanded by Baran, a vicious-tempered leader who maintains the
loyalty of his crew - and Riker - by using pain-generating implants which he
controls. Riker is astounded to find that the newest member of the rogue
crew on their mysterious mission to raid ancient Romulan artifacts is a
knowledgeable rogue named "Galen" - better known to Riker as Captain Picard.

Stardate 47160.1: Riker is accepted into Baran's outlaw fold by pretending to
be an old enemy of "Galen," and the mercenaries' mission continues. Picard
discovers that Baran's gang is not looking for Romulan artifacts, but for
ancient Vulcan artifacts. The Romulan mercenary Tallera reveals herself as
an undercover Vulcan security operative, and she earns Picard's trust enough
for him to reveal his own identity. A Klingon shuttle pilot carrying the
last of three vital artifacts is intercepted by the Enterprise, which
becomes Baran's next target. Riker is left for dead on the Enterprise by
Picard to resume command, as Picard leads a mutiny among the mercenaries and
kills Baran. Picard must try to play into Riker's hands without arousing
the mercenaries' suspicions - or Tallera's.

Stardate 47225.7: Having just received a new warp core from a starbase, the
Enterprise departs with both Picard and Geordi ready to test the more
efficient drive system en route to an admirals' banquet which Picard is not
looking forward to. The warp core fails to perform to expectations - in
fact, it fails to perform at all. Simultaneously, Data experiences his
first nightmare, and then his second, and his third, all full of disturbing
imagery he feels he should not ignore. His friends don't think it's
anything to worry about, until Data's nightmare visions drive him to commit
acts of violence.

Stardate 47254.1: Lwaxana Troi visits the Enterprise again along with a small
delegation of Icarans, who communicate in telepathic imagery with no verbal
elements whatsoever. To prepare them for their first meeting with the
Federation council, Mrs. Troi is trying to help the Icarans learn to
translate their imagery into speech, a facility they were born without. Not
long after Deanna notices her mother experiencing brief episodes of intense
anguish, Lwaxana collapses into a coma, and the only clues to her condition
and the reason for it are held by the Icarans, who are not able to fully
communicate it.

written by Nicholas Sagan
directed by Jonathan Frakes
music by Dennis McCarthy
Stardate 47340.2: The world inhabited by the Kes and the Prit is divided;
the Prit are xenophobic to the point of hostility, but the Kes have applied
for membership in the Federation, which is surprising since they are
paranoid to the point of operating like a police state. Beaming down to
meet with Kes representatives, Picard and Beverly are kidnapped by the Prit,
who believe the potential Kes affiliation with the Federation to be a
military pact. Fitted with neural implants to allow their captors to
retrieve information without an interrogation, Picard and Beverly manage to
escape with the aid of an undercover Kes agent onto the surface, where they
are to head to the Kes border. An unusual side-effect of their implants
allows them to hear each other's thoughts en route. In the meantime, Riker
is trying to glean information about his captain's whereabouts from a Kes
representative who is deliberately being less than helpful.

Stardate 47310.2: Investigating the mystery of missing starships, the
Enterprise finds that a brother and sister have been misleading and damaging
all warp-capable vessels that enter the region of space near their home
world, claiming that warp engines are agitating a sensitive subspace rift
which threatens to destroy everything nearby if it becomes active.
Reluctant to accept this theory, Picard and the crew plan to rescue the
damaged ships and move along, but when one of the protesters opens the
subspace rift with a burst of warp energy, the Enterprise may be unable to
escape.

Enterprise is visited by Dr. Tainer and her husband, two scientists whose
plan may save the planet. The first chance she has to speak to Data
privately, Tainer reveals herself to be the ex-wife of Dr. Soong and

themselves, and cause no longer leads to a logical effect. His environment
and his comrades change - Troi suddenly believes she is Worf's wife; Geordi
is killed in engineering during a Cardassian assault. Worf alerts Data to
the strange occurrences, and Data begins to research a way to send Worf back
to his original universe. Further disparities appear, including Riker's
command since Captain Picard's death in the Borg invasion several years ago,
and Worf's two children (neither of them Alexander) by Troi. Data discovers
the way to send Worf back...but when Enterprises from every possible
variation of every potential reality appear, not every crew wants reality
restored to its normal flow.

directed by LeVar Burton
music by John Debney
Stardate 47457.1: The Enterprise is assigned to head for an asteroid belt in
a sensitive area between Romulan and Federation space, with Admiral Pressman
from Starfleet Security aboard. Along the way, it is clear that the
Enterprise's objective is top secret, and that Pressman and Commander Riker
have some old business to discuss. On his first Starfleet mission as an
ensign, Riker served aboard the USS Pegasus and witnessed a shipwide mutiny
against that ship's captain - Pressman. Riker defended Pressman at the time
and they were among a handful of survivors who escaped before the ship was
apparently destroyed by a mishap in engineering. Now, twelve years later,
Pressman reveals to Riker that the Enterprise's secret mission is to search
for the Pegasus - Riker's first starship still exists, and still harbors the
treacherous secret that once sparked a vicious mutiny whose nature is still
a dark, closely-guarded secret in the files of Starfleet Security.

Pressman), Michael Mack (Sirol)

a distress call from his hidden cultural observation post on Boral II, a
planet whose atmosphere is going to break down in less than two days. Worf
beams down, disguised as a Boralan, only to find that his brother has also
been masquerading as a native and providing them with means of survival
based on the technology of his observation post. Nikolai is admonished by
Picard for his severe violation of the Prime Directive, but when the planet
is within seconds of dying, commits an even greater breach by transporting
a handful of Boralans into a holodeck simulation of the shelter on their
world. The Enterprise crew - especially Worf - are now left with the

retrieving radioactive fragments of a destroyed space probe. Data's shuttle
crashes on a world inhabited by relatively primitive humanoids, and his

Enterprise becomes aware of strange objects appearing on board. An
unexplained surge of energy affects the ship's computer systems and Data as
well. The comet is revealed to be an archaic spaceborne artifact of a
bygone alien civilization. The Enterprise's computer is filled with symbols
and hieroglyphics whose meanings are known only to Data, though he has never
before encountered anything like them. Soon, Data himself is transformed,
exhibiting a number of personalities from the alien archive. The ship's
computer and even parts of the ship itself transform themselves into objects
whose function can only be deduced by studying the alien civilization. But
by the time Picard and the others can gain an understanding of what has
taken control of their ship, the Enterprise and Data will be transformed
into an ancient alien temple - and its resident goddess.

Trying to find out why, Troi begins investigating the last days of the
deceased by speaking to his friends and co-workers, and eventually winds up
surveying the warp nacelle post, where she experiences an inexplicable

sends a potentially hazardous torpedo astray into deep space, which Picard
and Data set off to recover via shuttlecraft. When they return from their
mission, they find that every inhabitant of the ship has somehow mutated
into more primitive forms of life, some dangerous, others not. The cause of
this condition is a virus which has now infected Picard, leaving him and
Data very little time to reverse the plight of the crew.

directed by Corey Allen
music by Jay Chattaway
Stardate 47751.2: Wesley Crusher, on a sabattical from Starfleet Academy, has
returned to the Enterprise in an attempt to recoup his energies in time to
graduate. He is troubled by something which he has yet to reveal to anyone,
but more pressing matters are on the mind of Picard and the crew as
Starfleet orders the Enterprise to evacuate or otherwise remove a colony of
Native American Indians who have settled on an isolated planet to preserve
their culture. This planet is now due to be handed over to the Cardassians
according to the terms of a treaty which realigns the borders of Federation
and Cardassian space, and the Indian colonists will no longer be welcome.
Tired of their history of being displaced by territorial bureaucracy, the
Indians of Dorbin V decide to reshape the borders themselves to protect what
they hold sacred - and they find a sympathizer in Wesley, who jeopardizes
his Starfleet career to help them and learn more about them.
The creation of a demilitarized zone encompassing several Federation and
Cardassian colonies has repercussions in the two-part Deep Space Nine story
"The Maquis," which itself provides a lead-in to "Preemptive Strike" and the
upcoming series Star Trek: Voyager.

Worf manages to fight most of them off, the fight is ended by a Klingon who
