fetus will grow full term in just thirty-six hours.
27. Where Silence Has Lease -- En route to the Morgana
System, the Enterprise suddenly finds itself inside a black void
without form or dimension -a void that is unending and inescapable, no

study humans' reaction to death.
28. Elementary Dear Data -- La Forge persuades Sherlock
Homes fan Data to use the extra time playing the role of the detective
on the holodeck, with the engineer as Watson. But Holmes's original

to accept the android as anything more than a machine- challenges him
to solve a new, computer generated case.
29. Outrageous Okona -- Near the twin Maden planets, the
Enterprise picks up young trader Thaduin Okona while helping him
repair his small craft. The roguish charmer quickly makes friends,

wisecracks, Data tries to further his understanding of humor.
Meanwhile people from all over are demanding that the Enterprise hands
Okona over for his crimes.
30. The Schiziod Man -- Dr. Ira Graves ,who was Dr.
Noonian Soongs mentor, is dying of a terminal illness when the
Enterprise answers his young female aide's call for help on their

transferring a human personality into a computer. After Graves dies
Data begins to act irrationally.
31. Loud as a Whisper -- To help settle a civil war, the
Enterprise is sent to retrieve the great Ramatisian mediator Riva. The
crew is surprised to learn, though, that Riva and his ruling family

culture and cuisine from Worf.
34. The Measure of a Man -- Data's rights as a sentient
being are questioned when Commander Bruce Maddox, a cyberneticist,
wants to disassemble the android to make duplicates for Starfleet.
When Maddox seems uncertain of his ability to reassemble Data, the
Enterprise second officer refuses to submit to his experiment and
resign from Starfleet. But Maddoz gets a ruling that the android is
Starfleet property. Picard challenges the ruling and a trial follows.

setting for Wesley's first romance when the ship must ferry home a
princess and her overprotective guard.

SOS from the USS Yamato, the Enterprise arrives in time to see
widespread computer malfunction destroy its sister ship. When log
tapes from the Yamato reveal that its captain had tracked the mythical

secrets of the Iconian civilization would be worth risking an
encounter with the Romulans. But soon the Enterprise finds itself also
plagued by computer malfunctions.
37. The Royale -- Puzzled by the recovery of a chunk of a
twenty-first-century Earth spacecraft, Worf, Data and Riker beam down

otherwise black void, they cannot escape from what appears to be a
resort casino named the Hotel Royale.
38. Timed Squared -- In a bizarre turn of events, Picard
is confronted by his own double from six hours into the future, out of
phase and disoriented after being recovered from a shuttlecraft that
has recorded the Enterprise's destruction in a vast energy whirlpool.
39. The Icarus Factor -- When Riker is offered command of
his own ship, the Enterprise heads for Starbase Montgomery to meet
with the civilian strategist who will brief him on the assignment.
That strategist turns out to be his father, Kule, whom Riker hasn't
seen in fifteen years. Time has not softened the first officer's
hostility toward the older man, and he summarily rejects his father's
efforts at reconciliation. For some reason Worf seems to be growing
unnaturally tense.

Directive Data befriends a small girl who is situated on a planet that
is in risk of being destroyed.

is to destroy the ship is rejected by Picard, turns out to be a former
lover of Worf's.

Picard asks for a master Zakdorn strategist to oversee a battle
simulation he will wage against Riker, who will command the revived
derelict USS Hathaway. Strategist Sirna Kolrami, who predicts that
