Plot
The Enterprise docks at Starbase 74 for a refit. The maintenance crew,
four Binars, program the antimatter containment to fail causing the crew to
evacuate the ship in a panic. Meanwhile, Picard and Riker, in a Binar-
enhanced program on the holodeck, are totally unaware of the situation.
After the crew, except for Riker and Picard, leave the ship, the Binars
hijack it to return to their home planet to save their computers from the
effects of a supernova.

In-Jokes
- The 11001001 is binary, and is converted to 201 decimal, or hex C9. Under
the Z-80 microprocessor series (the Z-80 was used in the TRS-80 Model I,
III, and IV, and for the sound processing in the Sega Genesis), the C9,
in assembly language, is known as "Unconditional Return." In addition, on
another machine language, 201 (decimal) corresponds to no valid machine
instruction at all, which translates to a NOP (No Operation for 2 machine
cycles).
