Picard opens the scene with a quiet, resolute log that frames the Enterprise's mission as both intellectual inquiry and moral test. As Data turns probe data into a forensic narrative—revealing …

Six resonator-equipped probes reach Drema Four and activate a harmonic sequence that Data monitors with clinical awe. Sensors soon report a planetwide reduction in tectonic stress; Wesley’s plan is vindicated …

The harmonic resonator system takes effect and the immediate geological threat to Drema Four abates. On the bridge the crew exhales; Wesley declares success while Data becomes the child’s emotional …
