Stardate 43205.6 As Picard (Patrick Stewart) and an Away Team investigate an ancient Promellian battle cruiser, the Enterprise is seized by a mysterious energy drain. Trapped in a holding pattern, the ship is bombarded by increasing doses of radiation. Searching for clues, Geordi (LeVar Burton) materializes a holodeck version of Dr. Leah Brahms (Susan Gibney), a beautiful and brilliant engineering expert. They determined that the Enterprise is being held by centuries-old Aceton assimilators used in the war between the Promellians and the Menthars. The assimilators attracted energy, modify it and convert it to the fatal radiation. Unless Geordi and Leah can free the Enterprise, the crew will die within hours. |
