Plot

The Enterprise investigates the disappearance of the crew of a communica- tions relay station. The two officers assigned to the station have disap- peared and their are traces of DNA on the ship indicating they have been killed. The computer has been tampered with in an attempt to access security codes. The investigation centers on the actions of the junior officer, Aquiel Unari whom Geordi has come to know and love through her personal logs and letters in the station's computer system. That proves to be quite a problem when it appears like Aquiel has killed her superior officer and Geordi sets out to prove otherwise, but the more he looks the more guilt is placed on the girl, who claims she can't remember what happend.

In-Jokes

  • The name of the Klingon battlecruiser that meets with the E is the Qu'vatlh (proper spelling, badly pronounced by Picard). This is listed in the Klingon Dictionary on page 58 as one of the Klingon curses.
