Synopsis
Roguish freighter captain Okona is demanded by Debin of Atlec for dishonouring his daughter and by Kushell of Straleb for theft. Okona reveals he was only carrying messages between the real lovers, Yanar and Benzan, and the couple agree to marry. Meanwhile Data uses a holodeck comic to learn humour.
Log entries
Captain's log, Stardate 42402.7. We are travelling in the Omega Sagitta system traversing between twin planets that form the Coalition of Madena. Both worlds is populated by a humanoid race which colonised the planets two centuries ago, and which now co-exist under a precarious but successful treaty.
Captain's log, supplemental. Some of the mystery surrounding this ancient morality play we've been dragged into has been revealed. One of Captain Okona's pursuers is an outraged father with a heartfelt, if arcane, sense of righteousness.
