Plot
As part of an exchange program, Riker becomes the new First Officer aboard
the Pagh, a Klingon war vessel. Meanwhile, the Enterprise finds a strange
substance on its hull which turns out to be a strange bacteria that feeds on
metal. Earlier, the same substance was noticed on the hull of the Klingon
ship so the Enterprise has to locate that ship and warn them. The Klingon
commander has also found the damage and believes it to be Federation
treachery and searches for the Enterprise.

Quotes
| Riker: |
"It's my understanding that one of the duties of the first officer on a Klingon ship is to assassinate the captain." |
| Worf: |
"Yes, sir. When and if the captain becomes weak and unable to perform, it is expected that his honorable retirement should be assisted by this first. The second officer would assassinate you for the same reasons." |
| Riker: |
"This method of attrition could take a little getting used to." |
| Riker: |
"Sentimental, Lieutenant?" |
| Worf: |
"Efficiency, Commander." |
| Kargon: |
"I know I can count on every Klingon warrior in this crew to serve and die in battle. So I ask, Commander Riker, where are your loyalties?" |
| Riker: |
"I have been assigned here to serve this ship and to obey your orders. I will do exactly that." |
| Kargon: |
"Will you take oath to that effect?" |
| Riker: |
"I just did." |
| Riker: |
"You have a problem?" |
| Klag: |
"Yes, sir. I...don't believe you." |
| Mendon: |
"Didn't mean to offend you." |
| Worf: |
"You didn't...yet." |
| Worf: |
"Ensign Mendon, you may impress *me*." |
| Klag: |
"Perhaps we could get one of the females to breast-feed you." |
| Klag: |
"They are inquisitive. They want to know how you would endure." |
| Riker: |
"Endure what?" |
| Klag: |
"Them." |
| Riker: |
[Pause] "One, or both?" |
| Vekma: |
"I may be back for you." |
| Riker: |
[To Klag] "Is she serious?" |
| Worf: |
"And I will instruct you on Enterprise etiquette." |
| Klag: |
"He may be a spy, but he is not a coward." |
| Kargon: |
"That only proves he's intelligent." |
| Kargon: |
"To be ordered to die is an expectation for any officer at any time." |
| Klag: |
"For a Klingon perhaps, but Riker's people do not volunteer for death so easily." |
| Kargon: |
"You will die like a Klingon." |
| Riker: |
"Stay where you are, Klag! I've relieved Captain Kargon. He was acting in an irrational manner. I'm your captain now." |
| Riker: |
"This is Captain William Riker of the Klingon vessel Pagh. I order you to lower your shields and surrender." |
| Klag: |
"You understand the Klingons better than I thought." |
| Riker: |
"Thank you, my friend." |
| Riker: |
"I learned quite a bit." |
| Picard: |
"Apparently not when to duck." |
| Riker: |
"When *not* to duck would be more accurate." |
| Riker: |
"You come from a very brave and unique race. I'm glad you're here on the Enterprise." |
| Worf: |
"Thank you, Commander. And welcome home." |
