Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his crew are dispatched to repossess a stolen T-9 energy converter from Ferengi raiders when the Enterprise is rendered powerless. When Picard orders the Ferengi to restore power to his ship, the Ferengi report that their vessel is also without energy.

Search parties from both ships beam down to investigate a nearby planet and discover the entire planet has been turned into a giant power accumulator. Ruling this desolate outpost is Portal, the guardian of the Tkon Empire, who awaits with a deadly mental test. His challenge: answer correct or die.

Stardate 41249.3
The Enterprise is on a course for danger when an alien life form takes over the starship...and Captain Picard's mind!

While transporting a group of adversarial diplomats to a peace conference, the Enterprise passes through an unidentified energy cloud. After this incident, a crew member is mysteriously killed and Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) experiences spells of odd behavior. Soon, other crew members begin to act strangely, as if no longer in control of their own minds.

When Picard (Patrick Stewart) commands the Enterprise to return to the energy cloud, the starship's officers fear for the captain's well-being, and for the safety of their own lives.
