Stardate 45571.2 Responding to a distress signal from a long-lost starship, an Away Team crash lands on an uninhabited moon. Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) is injured and Chief O'Brien (Colm Meaney) races to rescue the Team before they're overcome by a mysterious electro-magnetic storm. Back on the Enterprise, Data (Brent Spiner), Troi (Marina Sirtis) and O'Brien insist on surveying the moon's polar region. When questioned, they stage a violent revolt, take hostages and commandeer the Enterprise. Later, Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) determines that the mutineers are possessed by powerful entities. The leader of the trio, who occupies Troi's body, claims to be Captain Bryce Shumar of the Starship Essexa which disappeared over 200 years ago. In a desperate power play, Picard (Patrick Stewart) must put his life on the line to regain control of the ship. |

Stardate 45587.3 Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) is removed from active duty after a severe injury leaves him paralyzed from the waist down. Although a neuro-geneticist is called in to examine Worf, Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) believes the paralysis will be permanent. Convinced that no Klingon should live as an object of pity or shame, Worf asks Riker (Jonathan Frakes) to assist in his ceremonial suicide. Against Dr. Crusher's wishes, the neuro-geneticist tells Worf about a dangerous experimental surgery that could fully restore his mobility - but could also kill him. While the two physicians argue over the ethics of such a procedure, Riker reminds Worf that Klingon tradition demands that Worf's son Alexander must assist in the suicide ceremony. With no other options, Worf agrees to the surgery. Will he survive? |
