Synopsis

Answering an old distress beacon, the Enterprise rescues the Bringloidi farmers, then finds the Mariposan clones, who are failing from replicative fading and secretly take tissue from Riker and Pulaski. Picard brokers a deal in which the two colonies intermarry.

Log entries

Captain's log, stardate 42823.2. We're departing from Starbase Seven Three to investigate the source of the mysterious distress signal. Meanwhile, my Security Officer remains in Sickbay, where Doctor Pulaski is searching for the cause of his collapse.

Captain's log, supplemental. A review of stellar charts has revealed a Class M planet only half a light year from the Bringloid system. I am proceeding on the premise that it was the destination of the colony which possessed the more sophisticated equipment.

Captain's log, supplemental. We are approaching the class M planet where we hope to find the other colonists.

Captain's log, supplemental. Prime Minister Granger has requested an urgent meeting to discuss the future of the Mariposan colony. I've invited him to the Enterprise.
