During a routine mapping mission, the Enterprise discovers unusual readings on Alpha Onias 3. Riker commands an away team to the planet but, the team succumbs to gas.

He also apparently has a son named Jean-Luc. Riker struggles to regain his memory and continue his mission but, something doesn't seem right.
