Unification, part 1

Sent to find Ambassador Spock, reported on Romulus, Picard visits the dying Sarek, then he and Data, disguised as Romulans, travel on a borrowed Klingon ship. Sarek dies on the way. On Romulus, Pardek's soldiers take them off the street, and Spock reveals himself.

• Follows Sarek (S03E23): Picard visits the dying Sarek before searching for Spock, carrying Sarek's mind-meld memories.
• Leads to Unification, part 2 (S05E08): Resolves the cliffhanger: Pardek's soldiers take Picard and Data, and Proconsul Neral's overture proves a Romulan plot to invade Vulcan, led by Sela.

Captain's log, stardate 45233.1. Our terraforming mission to Doraf One has been cancelled and the Enterprise recalled to Starbase two thirty four. Fleet Admiral Brackett would not discuss the matter on subspace for reasons she said would soon be clear.

Captain's log, stardate 45236.4. As I study the intelligence reports on Ambassador Spock's disappearance, I cannot help but feel a deeper, more personal concern about this mission, for I know this man through his father. It was barely a year ago that I shared a mind meld with the Vulcan, Sarek. Now we must meet again as I attempt to find an explanation for his son's actions.

Captain's log, stardate 45240.1. To cross the Neutral Zone, I will require a cloaked ship. To that end, I have set a course for the Klingon home world. After all we did for Gowron during the recent war, I am certain he will be happy to return a favour.

First Officer's log, stardate 45240.6. The Enterprise is nearing Qualor Two, home of a Federation surplus depot operated by the Zakdorn. We hope to find out how the salvaged deflector array ended up in the hands of the Ferengi.
