Stardate 42609.1
Picard (Patrick Stewart) receives a distress signal from the U.S.S. Yamato, which has been stranded in the Neutral Zone due to an inexplicable systems failure. As the Yamato's captain explains his mission - a search for the homeland of the legendary Ionian civilization - his ship explodes into nothingness. A Romulan vessel soon materializes and threatens attack unless the Enterprise leaves the Neutral Zone.
Suddenly, both ships are rendered powerless, crippled by the same mysterious computer failures that struck the Yamato. Unless one of the crews can locate the electronic virus, both vessels are doomed to self-destruct.

Stardate 42625.4
Traveling through an uncharted solar system, the Enterprise discovers a piece of metal bearing the NASA insignia. Looking for an explanation, Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Worf (Michael Dorn) and Data (Brent Spiner) beam down to a nearby planet where they discover themselves in a perfect replica of a 20^th-century casino, complete with characters right out of a dime store novel.
After failing to find an exit, the away team discovers two books in one of the rooms: an novel; entitled "The Hotel Royale", and an Air Force officer's diary. The diary reveals that the hotel and its inhabitants were created by aliens, based on the world described in "The Hotel Royale." Have Riker, Worf and Data become the Royale's latest, permanent residents?
