Interface

Geordi uses an experimental probe interface to search the wrecked Raman, then disobeys Picard to descend further after seeing his missing mother, who says her ship is trapped on the planet. The image proves to be a subspace being that killed the Raman's crew; Geordi is saved from neural shock.

Captain's log, stardate 47215.5. We are responding to a distress call from the science vessel Raman, which is apparently trapped inside the turbulent atmosphere of an unusual gas giant planet. We will use an experimental interface probe in our attempt to rescue it.

Captain's log, supplemental. We have succeeded in disengaging Mister La Forge from the interface and are en route to Starbase four nine five.
