Plot
While Picard attends an emergency conference, the Enterprise discovers a
20th Century Earth-craft with three humans aboard frozen in suspended
animation. The humans are revived and have trouble acclimating to the
changes in the 370 years they have been asleep. Meanwhile, Picard returns
from his meeting to inform the crew that several outposts at the edge of the
Neutral Zone have been destroyed and Romulans are suspected. The Enterprise
has been sent to investigate.
