| Stardate 41798.2 After the disappearance of the U.S.S. Drake, an away team beams down to the planet Minos to search for survivors. While exploring the planet, the team is assailed by an energy sphere that traps Riker (Jonathan Frakes) in a impenetrable, transparent cube. Meanwhile, the Enterprise has fallen under the attack of an invisible enemy that thwarts all attempts to rescue the crew members on Minos. LaForge (LeVar Burton) traces the attacks to a computer-generated weaponry system that went out of control and destroyed the civilization that created it. Can the starship crew deactivate the pernicious computer in time to save the planet...and themselves? | |

| Stardate Unknown After receiving a distress signal from an Ornaran freighter, the Enterprise beams up the ship's cargo along with two Ornarans and two representatives from Brekka, Ornara's neighboring planet. The Enterprise's new guests proceed to feud over the cargo which is medicine for a plague that has beset Ornara for centuries. The Brekkians, exclusive manufacturers of the medicine, claim the Ornarans have not provided payment. Picard (Patrick Stewart) convinces the Brekkians to administer doses to the Ornarans on board. But when Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) examines the "cure," she discovers it is a narcotic that has turned the Ornarans into drug addicts! The Prime Directive prohibits Picard from interfering...but how can he ignore the gradual extinction of another race? | |
