Plot
The Enterprise is diverted from a mission by a special transmission for
Picard's eyes only. The message is from Keel, an old friend of Picard's who
asks to meet him on a nearby mining planet. Picard beams down to find the
captains of several ships waiting there. Keel and the other captains, after
ascertaining Picard is who they think he is, tells him about a suspected
conspiracy within Starfleet citing a strange pattern of orders from Command
as evidence. They urge him to be careful. After leaving the planet, the
Enterprise comes upon the debris of Keel's ship. Picard asks Data to review
the last few months of orders issued by Starfleet. Data reports that there
has been an unusual amount of changing of people within the command areas of
Starfleet. Picard orders the ship back to Earth where they discover several
admirals, including Picard's friend Quinn have been infected by parasitic
creatures.

Goofs
- At the beginning of the episode, while Picard is asleep, Riker tells
LaForge to increase speed to Warp 6. Laforge replies, "Aye Sir, full
impulse."
|
In-Jokes
- The topographical map of the planetary surface was a "very shakey"
drawing of Kei and Yuri. Yuri is on the right side, and Kei is upside
down.....
- During the scan of records, we see a parrot wearing a Starfleet shirt,
complete with insignia, with nacelles, an obvious reference to Gene
Roddenberry. ("The Great Bird" = Gene)

| Troi: |
"Data, I's just *not* the same, have you ever been for a real moon- light swimm." |
| Data: |
"One can swimm in moonlight ??" |
| Troi: |
"How about you mister Worf ??" |
| Worf: |

| Picard: |
"Starfleet's finest. Fancy meeting you here." |
[Where did Picard and Captain Keel meet?]
| Picard: |
"Tau Ceti III. It was a bar...rather an exotic one, as I remember. What do I win?" |
| Rixx: |
"And watch your back...Picard." |
| Picard: |
"Friends.. Close friends are few and far between, two of the closest are Jack Crusher, may he rest in peace, and Walker Kiel." |
| Picard: |
"Friendship must dare to risk, Counselor, or it is not friendship." |
| Data: |
"That was not a request, I was simply...talking to myself. A human idiosyncrasy, triggered by a fascination with a particular set of facts, or sometimes brought about by senility, or used as a means of weighing information before means of weighing information before reaching a conclusion, or as a--" |
| Computer: |
"Thank you, sir, I comprehend." |
| Picard: |
"Mister LaForge, ahead warp six." |
| LaForge: |
"Aye, sir, full impulse." |
| Quinn: |
"Do Klingons fear death as much as humans? I could snap your neck in a second, but it wouldn't be as much fun." |
| Remmick: |
"We seek peaceful coexistence!" |
| Data: |
"I believe it was a beacon." |
| Picard: |
"A beacon?" |
| Data: |
"Yes, sir. A homing beacon, sent from Earth." |
