Synopsis
Ensign Wesley Crusher falls for Salia, who is being escorted by her protector Anya to Daled Four to unite its warring factions. Picard orders Wesley away after Anya, an allasomorph, attacks in Sickbay. Wesley learns Salia is also a shapeshifter, and she beams down.
Log entries
Captain's log, stardate 42568.8. Since Anya's powers of transformation apparently gave her the ability to escape her guards unnoticed, we have sealed her quarters with a forcefield that will contain her no matter how small a form she may take.
