The crew responds to a
distress call from a stricken Federation freighter that
is orbiting the planet Turkana IV, birthplace of their
late comrade, Tasha Yar. The freighter explodes, but
Data detects an escape pod heading toward the planet.
Picard dispatches an Away Team to rescue the crashed
crew members. Upon reaching the planet's surface, Riker
and his team meet Hayne, leader of the Coalition - one
of the planet's two warring factions. When Data reveals
that a former crewmember was born on Turkana IV, Hayne
offers to aid in the search with the help of one of his
comrades, Ishara Yar — Tasha's sister.
Although Picard doesn't completely trust Hayne, he
accepts his offer of help, and Ishara is transported
aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. A conference to discuss
their options for a rescue is interrupted by a
transmission from one of the missing crew members. They
are being held hostage by the Alliance, the faction
opposing the Coalition, and their lives are in danger.
Ishara tells Riker and the crew where the escape pod is
being held and volunteers to help. She reveals that as
part of a peacekeeping agreement, the members of the
Alliance and the Coalition have been implanted with
detectors which set off alarms when they cross into
their opposing factions' territory. Riker allows Ishara
to transport into Alliance territory and act as a
diversion. During the mission, she is wounded by the
Alliance and is saved by Riker and transported back to
the U.S.S. Enterprise.
While she recovers,
lshara and Data grow closer. Meanwhile, Geordi
determines that the crewmen from the pod are located
near Alliance headquarters. lshara tells the crew that
she knows the area and could guide them, but her
detector implant would alert the Alliance of her
presence — and removal of the implant would trigger a
micro explosive in the device. Data suggests a way that
Dr. Crusher could safely remove the implant and lshara,
after considering her options, agrees to the operation.
She tells Data that she might like to leave the
Coalition and apply to Starfleet Academy after the
mission. Picard and Troi question Ishara's motives, but
Data urges them to give her a chance.
After the operation,
Ishara and the Away Team transport into Alliance
territory. After leading the team to the missing
crewmen, lshara sneaks away. Noticing that she is
missing, Riker and Data set out to find her. Data
locates lshara as she attempts to overload the
Alliance's defensive systems. She admits that her help
on the rescue mission has been a covert attempt to
defeat the Alliance. When Data tries to stop her, she
fires her phaser at him, barely missing him. Riker
diverts Ishara's attention, enabling Data to fire at
her. Data then rearms the Alliance defensive systems.
Later, Picard returns Ishara to the Coalition, and Riker
explains to a disturbed Data that in every trust lies
the possibility of betrayal. |

Enterprise Exceeds Warp Limits
________________________________________
The Enterprise is able to only achieve Warp 9.5 "with
extreme risk" (Encounter at Farpoint). However, there
have been various times when this 'speed limit' has been
exceeded.
"Where No One Has Gone Before" - In a warp field
experiment with the Traveler, Wesley's distraction
causes the Traveler to phase in and out, and causes the
Enterprise to travel 2.7 million light years in a few
seconds.
"When The Bough Breaks" - When Captain Picard insists
that the Aldean people return the children kidnapped
from the Enterprise, the Enterprise is hit with a bolt
of energy that causes it to travel such a distance that
it would take three days to travel back to Aldea at Warp
9.
"Q Who" - Q, with the snap of his fingers, send the
Enterprise 7,000 light years away for their first
encounter with the Borg. Also, when the Enterprise is
being chased by the Borg, LaForge reads the speed off as
Warp 9.65.
"Legacy" - In the teaser, the Enterprise is going Warp
9.6 to Tasha Yar's birthplace.
"The Nth Degree" - Barclay, with the knowledge gained
from an alien probe, creates a space distortion that
causes the Enterprise to travel halfway across the
Galaxy.
"Descent" - The Enterprise uses a transwarp conduit
while chasing the Borg and tracking down Data.
