In order for Wesley
Crusher to complete his Starfleet exams, he must travel
to Starbase 515 in the Scylla Sector. He is unexpectedly
joined on his trip by Captain Picard, who has been
ordered by Dr. Pulaski to undergo a cardiac replacement
operation.
While Picard and Wesley are away, the crew responds to a
distress call from the Pakleds, a race of lethargic
humanoids. It seems that their ship, the Mondor,
requires extensive repairs. To help expedite the
process, Riker beams Geordi aboard the Pakled vessel.
Sensing that the Pakleds' intentions are less than
friendly, Troi expresses concern for Geordi's safety.
After making the
necessary repairs, Geordi prepares to return to the
U.S.S. Enterprise, but he is suddenly disarmed by the
Pakleds, who refuse to release him until Riker
surrenders all of their computer information. Hoping to
buy time and outsmart the dim-witted Pakleds, Riker
implies that Geordi is a weapons expert. The Pakleds
then abandon thoughts of computer information and demand
that Geordi upgrade their defensive capabilities.
Unable to reason with
the Pakleds, the U.S.S. Enterprise crew considers a show
of force to rescue Geordi. Just then, an emergency
summons is received from Starbase 515 indicating that
complications in Picard's heart surgery have left him
near death. The Enterprise quickly fires a harmless
blast of light at the Pakleds, which frightens the weak
race long enough to secure Geordi's release and allow
the crew to race to Picard's side.
On Starbase 515,
Picard regains consciousness and learns that his life
was saved, thanks to the surgical skills of the
Enterprise's own Dr. Pulaski. Wesley soon rejoins Picard
on the ship, having passed his Starfleet exams with
flying colors. |
