Synopsis
Riker volunteers for an exchange posting as first officer of the Klingon ship Pagh. When a hull-eating organism appears, Captain Kargan blames the Enterprise and prepares to attack. Riker keeps his oaths, has Kargan beamed away, takes command briefly, then hands it back.
Log entries
Captain's log, stardate 42506.5. We have departed from Starbase one seven nine and are headed for a rendezvous with the Klingon vessel, Pagh. I have informed the staff of Commander Riker's temporary assignment.
First Officer's personal log. I have aboard the Pagh a short time, but long enough to be impressed with the abilities and single-mindedness of the Klingons.
Captain's log, Stardate 42507.8. Although our search has been extensive, we are still unable to locate the Klingon ship or any evidence of it's destruction.
