 Stardate 46001.3. Starship Enterprise -D personnel determine that the purpose of the Devidia II invasion of 19th-century San Francisco was to facilitate the theft of human neural energy from victims in Earth's past. An Enterprise -D away team is successful in destroying the Devidian time portal, thereby halting the Devidian attack. In the process, Data's body, severed from his head in 1893, is joined with his head, which had been discovered buried under the Presidio in San Francisco.Nineteenth-century American writer Samuel Clemens is accidentally transported to the 24th century. Before he is returned to his proper time, he credits his glimpse of the future with restoring his faith in humanity. The Starship Yosemite, studying the plasma streamer between a binary star pair in the Igo Sector, is severely damaged when a sample container explodes. Several days prior to 'Realm of Fear' (TNG). |
Stardate 46041.1. U.S.S. Enterprise -D assigned to investigate the disappearance of the U.S.S. Yosemite. It is learned that the Yosemite's scientists had inadvertently captured several quasi-energy microbial life-forms that live in the plasma streamers in the Igo Sector. These quasi-energy microbes, which infected several Yosemite crew members and the pattern buffers of both ships' transporter systems, were returned to their natural habitat.
Stardate 46071.6. Starship Enterprise -D assigned to transport Lumerian ambassador Ves Alkar to Rekag-Seronia. During the flight to Rekag-Seronia, Alkar's companion, a woman identified as his mother, dies of apparent old age. It is not learned until later that Alkar's companion was in fact a much younger woman, the victim of severe empathic abuse, who served as the 'receptacle' for Alkar's negative emotions at the cost of her life. Alkar dies of his own psychic poisoning after being prevented from using Enterprise -D counselor Deanna Troi as his new receptacle.
Stardate 46125.3. U.S.S. Enterprise -D, investigating a distress call, discovers an ancient Dyson Sphere. The distress call is found to have originated from the U.S.S. Jenolan, a transport vessel that crashed into the sphere in 2295 while en route to the Norpin V Colony. The only survivor is Captain Montgomery Scott, who had survived by suspending himself in a transporter beam for nearly 75 years. Scott is instrumental in freeing the Enterprise -D from the Dyson Sphere's interior, where it had become trapped. Scott is subsequently granted the indefinite loan of a shuttlecraft, in which he sets out, alone, to explore the cosmos.
Stardate 46154.2. U.S.S. Enterprise -D, assigned to study the Amargosa Diaspora globular cluster, reports that several crew personnel have apparently disappeared from the vessel while asleep, only to be returned before awakening. Investigation reveals that these crew members have been abducted by solanagen-based life-forms from a previously undiscovered subspace domain. It is further learned that the incursion into our spatial domain had accidentally been made possible by a modification to the Enterprise -D's long-range sensors intended for study of the Amargosa Diaspora. Starfleet issues an advisory to prevent other ships from repeating the procedure.
Stardate 46192.3. The U.S.S. Enterprise -D is assigned to help install barystatic filters at Tagra IV in an effort to control pollution in that planet's atmosphere. Although serious technical difficulties threaten the mission, Amanda Rogers, who has just become aware of her powers as a member of the Q Continuum, uses her abilities to clean Tagra IV's air. Rogers had previously believed herself to be human. Rogers, leaves the Enterprise -D, chosing to live as a Q, rather than as a human.
Stardate 46235.7. Upon returning to the Enterprise -D from planet Marlonia, the Shuttlecraft Fermi and all personnel onboard are exposed to an unusual energy field, resulting in the shuttle's flight crew being reverted to children when they are beamed back to the Enterprise -D. While studying the phenomenon, the Enterprise -D responds to a distress call from the Starfleet science team on planet Ligos VII. The rescue mission is threatened by a Ferengi attempt to commandeer the Enterprise -D, but ship's personnel (including young Picard) are successful in repelling the offensive, and Chief O'Brien is able to use the ship's transporter to reverse the effects of the molecular inversion field. The Ferengi government later disavows the attack on the Enterprise -D as not having been authorized.
Stardate 46271.5. During the wait for the Biko rendezvous, Commander La Forge and Commander Data conduct an experiment to interface Data's positronic brain with the Enterprise -D's computer system. During the test, a minor power surge in Data's neural net causes information from Data's personal files to appear in various recreational, library, and holodeck subsystems. Simultaneously, elements of a holodeck simulation program, 'Ancient West', begin to appear in Data's behavioral patterns. Fortunately, both Data and the ship's computer systems are restored in time for the rendezvous with the Biko.
Stardate 46307.2. U.S.S. Enterprise -D at planet Tyrus VIIA to monitor testing of a new particle fountain mining technology under the direction of Dr. Farallon. Although the particle fountain represents a potential breakthrough, the project to date has been plagued with setbacks. The tests are interrupted when evidence emerges that exocomp servomechanisms, modified by Farallon, have acquired sufficient computational power and complexity for them to be classified as bonafide life-forms. The exocomps also exhibit the ability for voluntary self-sacrifice, and do so when a serious malfunction of the particle fountain threatens the lives of several project scientists.
Part I: Stardate 46357.4. Captain Edward Jellico, formerly of the Cairo, assumes command of the Starship Enterprise -D and is assigned to conduct negotiations with Gul Lemec of the Cardassian ship Reklar. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Lieutenant Worf, and Dr. Beverly Crusher conduct a special covert mission to planet Celtris III, investigating possible Cardassian metagenic weapons development. The mission is a failure, and Picard falls into Cardassian custody. It is later learned that there was no metagenic weapon, and that Starfleet and Picard were the victims of an elaborate Cardassian hoax designed to capture Picard in an effort to gain information on Starfleet's defenses at planet Minos Korva.
Part II: Stardate 46360.8. Captain Jellico determines that the Cardassians have been staging spacecraft in the McAllister Nebula in preparation for an attack on planet Minos Korva in Federation space. Jellico conducts a preemptive strike against the attack force, forcing the Cardassians to withdraw and to release Picard from Cardassian custody. Picard had been the victim of torture in violation of the Seldonis IV convention. Once returned to the Enterprise -D, Picard reassumes command of that starship.
Stardate 46424.1. Two gas giant planets in the Detrian System collide. The combined mass of the two planets is sufficient to cause nuclear fusion, resulting in the birth of a new star. Starship Enterprise -D personnel make observations of the event. The scientific mission is briefly delayed when a sentient holodeck program, a simulation of Sherlock Holmes character Dr. James Moriarty, attempts to seize control of the Enterprise -D. Ship's personnel are unable to meet Moriarty's demand of finding a way to grant physicality to Moriarty, but are successful in providing him and his companion with a virtual environment of sufficient realism for them to live out their lives.
Stardate 46461.3. Enterprise -D personnel discover that Lieutenant Keith Rocha, assigned to Station 47, has been murdered. Preliminary evidence implicates Lieutenant Aquiel Uhnari in the death, but it is later learned that Rocha had been killed prior to his assignment to the station. The entity believed to have been Rocha was, in fact, a coalescent organism that formed a near-perfect replica of him.
Stardate 46519. Enterprise -D at Research Station 75 to pick up Ensign Stefan DeSeve, a Federation turncoat returning from the Romulan Star Empire. DeSeve, representing the dissident Romulan underground, conveys a message from Ambassador Spock, requesting assistance in smuggling Romulan vice proconsul M'ret to Federation space.
(No stardate in episode). Picard is revived after a close brush with death following the Lenarian attack. Afterwards, Picard reports a near-death experience in which Q showed him what his life would have been like if he had changed certain key actions early in his career.
Birthright Part I: Stardate 46578.4. Starship Enterprise -D at Deep Space 9 to assist in the reconstruction of Bajoran aqueduct systems damaged during the Cardassian occupation. While at DS9, Commander Data experiences a severe plasma shock during a test of an alien medical artifact. The shock activates a heretofore unsuspected subroutine in Data's positronic brain, allowing to dream during periods of cognitive inactivity, much as a human does. Data's dreams include visions of his father, noted cyberneticist Noonian Soong.
Birthright Part II: Stardate 46578.4. Lieutenant Worf reports that the rumors of a secret Romulan prison camp in the Carraya System are false, and that his father did die at Khitomer.
Stardate 46682.4. The Starship Enterprise -D docks at the Remmler Array at Arkaria Base for routine decontamination of accumulated baryon particles. While the crew is evacuated during the decontamination procedure, a team of criminal intruders attempts to steal the highly explosive trilithium resin waste residue from the ship's warp drive. The criminals are thwarted, thanks to the efforts of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Stardate 46693.1. Enterprise -D responds to a request for assistance from the Federation outpost on planet Berallis III, which is entering a period of fire storm activity. Subsequent forecasts from the Bersallis outpost indicate an unusually severe fire storm, and Enterprise -D personnel set up a series of thermal deflectors on the planet surface to protect the outpost, an extremely difficult and hazardous operation. Although the operation is successful in saving the lives of the 643 colonists, eight Enterprise -D crew members died while maintaining the operation of the deflectors during the storm. The captain's log notes that they gave their lives in the performance of their duty.
Stardate 46731.5. Upon completion of the protostar study in the Volterra nebula, the Enterprise -D proceeds to a diplomatic conference on planet Atalia VII. While en route, the ship responds to a distress call from Professor Galen's shuttle, under attack by Yridian information dealers. Galen is killed in the attack. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, investigating Galen's death, learns that Galen had believed that the ancient humanoids who seeded the genetic material on numerous planets in the galaxy had encoded a message into the DNA patterns of those planets' life. Picard, an archaeologist in his own right, works to complete Galen's study, and is successful in reassembling the message from the past; a message of hope and friendship. It was in keeping with the wishes of those ancient humanoids that the message was completed by the cooperation of numerous different life-forms from around the galaxy.
Stardate 46778.1. While on an undercover mission to rescue the Starfleet research team on planet Tilonus IV, Enterprise -D executive officer William Riker is captured by one of the rival factions seeking control of the planet. Riker's captors subject him to neurosomatic techniques in an attempt to extract strategic information from his memory. After his rescue, Riker reports that the neurosomatic treatment caused him to experience unusually vivid and terrifying hallucinations derived from Crusher's play, Frame of Mind.
Stardate 46830.1. Further investigation into the death of Jo'Bril and Reyga reveals that Jo'Bril did not die aboard the shuttle, and that Jo'Bril had engineered both incidents in an effort to discredit Reyga's work. Jo'Bril is killed when he tries to cause Beverly Crusher's death in an attempt to cover up his murder of Reyga.
Stardate 46852.2. U.S.S. Enterprise -D security chief Worf, experiencing a crisis of faith, is granted leave and travels via shuttlecraft to the sacred Klingon monastery on planet Boreth. At Boreth, Worf is greeted by a vision of Kahless the Unforgettable, but is shocked to learn that this image of the ancient Klingon leader is a living person, possibly the return of Kahless prophesied some fifteen centuries ago. Investigation reveals this person to be a clone of the original Kahless, created by the clerics of Boreth.
Stardate 46915.2. U.S.S. Enterprise -D at planet Nervala IV, assigned to retrieve scientific data left behind when a research station on the planet's surface was abandoned eight years ago. At the station, a duplicate of executive officer William T. Riker is discovered, apparently formed during Riker's beam-out from the station eight years ago. The duplicate Riker, who adopts the name Thomas (their middle name), tries to rekindle his relationship with Deanna Troi, but the attempt fails when Thomas accepts a posting to the Starship Gandhi, once again separating the two.
Stardate 46944.2. The Starship Enterprise -D responds to a distress call from a Romulan warbird that has experienced a serious power failure. Enterprise -D personnel attempt to render aid by establishing a power transfer beam between their ship and the crippled Romulan craft. During the power transfer, both ships experience a severe disruption of the time-space continuum.
Stardate 46982.1. The Starship Enterprise -D, responds to the distress call from Ohniaka III, learns that the attack was made by a Borg spacecraft of previously unknown design. Enterprise -D personnel report that Borgs at the Ohniaka station are exhibiting uncharacteristic behavior and tactics.
