Synopsis
Ardra claims the people of Ventax Two and the Enterprise under a thousand-year-old contract. Picard demands arbitration with Data as judge, and with Geordi and Riker finding her cloaked ship, he shows her powers are tricks. Ardra withdraws and the contract is dissolved.
Log entries
Captain's log, stardate 44474.5. We have reached Ventax Two and are attempting to contact the Federation science station, which at last report was under siege by an angry mob.
Captain's log, supplemental. Although I consider this woman's claim upon my ship to be an empty threat, it has further inspired my determination to expose her for the fraud she is.
