Synopsis
Ambassador Alkar, escorted by the Enterprise to peace talks, channels his negative emotions into Troi, who ages rapidly and acts violently. Crusher briefly kills Troi to force him to switch victims. The link reverses during his meditation with Liva and Alkar dies; Troi recovers.
Log entries
Captain's log, stardate 46071.6. We have been called to the aid of a transport ship, which has been attacked near Rekag-Seronia. Hostilities between the two factions on that planet have intensified recently, threatening an important Federation shipping route.
Captain's log, stardate 46073.6. We have arrived without incident at Rekag-Seronia, where two members of Ambassador Alkar's delegation have been waiting. They have joined us to report on the situation in the capital city.
Medical log, stardate 46075.1. I have performed an autopsy on Alkar's mother, but instead of answering our questions, the results have created an even deeper mystery.
