Synopsis
The Enterprise rescues a human boy, Jono (Jeremiah Rossa), raised by the Talarian Captain Endar. Picard wants to keep him with his human family, but after Jono stabs him out of loyalty to his father, Picard admits his mistake and returns him to Endar.
Log entries
Captain's log, Stardate 44143.7. We have moved into Sector two one nine four seven in response to a distress call from a Talarian observation craft. The alien vessel appears adrift, and our initial scans have detected a life-threatening radiation leak within its propulsion system.
Captain's log, supplemental. We have completed emergency evacuation of four Talarians and one human. How this young man found himself in the company of these aliens remains a mystery.
Captain's log, supplemental. Captain Endar's claim that Jeremiah Rossa is his son is clearly unacceptable. However, to avoid escalating tensions, I have invited the Talarian leader to come aboard the Enterprise so that we may address the issue face to face.
