Synopsis
At Starbase 74 the Bynars, upgrading the Enterprise computer, use a holodeck woman, Minuet, to keep Riker occupied, evacuate the ship and take it to Bynaus. They need its computer to hold their planet's data through a supernova pulse. Picard and Riker retake control and restore it.
Continuity
- Leads to Future Imperfect (S04E08): Minuet, the Bynars' holodeck woman, reappears as Riker's 'wife', exposing the false future.
Log entries
Captain's log, stardate 41365.9. The Enterprise has been ordered to Starbase 74, in orbit around Tarsas Three. A routine maintenance check of all systems will be made, and certain upgrades completed, including the holodeck, with which we've had problems. I anticipate a glowing report. The ship has performed magnificently, beyond anyone's expectations.
Ship's log, supplemental. This is Lieutenant Commander Data. I have put the ship on automated departure and ordered the complete evacuation of the Enterprise. Everyone remaining is leaving on foot or beaming off.
Captain's log, supplemental. We now know who has commandeered the Enterprise. The Bynars. We can't communicate with the Bridge. Commander Riker and I will now try to regain control of our ship.
