Plot

A science outpost is attacked by the Gatherers, a band of Acamarian renegades. Picard talks with Marook, the Sovereign of Acamar Three, who wants to hunt the Gatherers down and destroy them. Picard convinces her to attempt to negotiate first and she and her cook board the Enterprise to travel to a Gatherer outpost to open talks. While there, the leader of the group is killed by a mysterious assassin.

Quotes

Worf: "You're ambushes would be more successful if you bathed more often."

Yuta: "As the sovereign has no further need for my services this evening, she suggested I might spend some time with you."
Riker: "What a charming suggestion."
Yuta: "She...appreciates the...affection you show me."
Riker: "Was I that obvious?"
Yuta: "Yes."

Riker: "Well, I've already dined. Maybe you know a good Acamarian dessert recipe."
Yuta: "Does that not please you? Tell me what you want, William, I will do anything you wish."
Riker: "Wait a minute."
Yuta: "I don't understand. Don't you want me to give you pleasure?"
Riker: "Not as a servant. I told you I prefer equals."
Yuta: "Even in the matters of love?"
Riker: "Especially in the matters of love."

Yuta: "William, this is not your concern."
Riker: "It is now, you're about to commit a murder."
Yuta: "It isn't murder, it's justice."

Riker: "Don't make me do this."
