Synopsis
The Enterprise answers a distress call at Rana Four and finds a devastated planet with one intact house, home to an elderly couple. Picard deduces the house, the warship and Rishon are illusions made by Kevin, a Douwd who destroyed the attacking Husnock in grief. Picard lets him go.
Log entries
Captain's log, stardate 43152.4. We are cautiously entering the Delta Rana star system three days after receiving a distress call from the Federation colony on its fourth planet. The garbled transmission reported the colony under attack from an unidentified spacecraft. Our mission is one of rescue and, if necessary, confrontation with a hostile force.
Captain's log, Stardate 43153.7. We are departing the Rana system for Starbase One Three Three. We leave behind a being of extraordinary power and conscience. I am not certain if he should be praised or condemned. Only that he should be left alone.
