Events in This Arc
Picard authorizes a desperate, full‑power effort to nudge a ferrous rogue moon despite Geordi's technical bleakness: the Enterprise strains engines and tractor emitters beyond safe limits while Worf vectors nearby …
Under a tightening time clock—the moon reaches perigee in fourteen minutes—Geordi presents a risky engineering workaround: manually extend the forward lobe of the warp field to buy crucial seconds. Picard …
Q abruptly returns to omnipotence and theatrically celebrates on the Enterprise bridge, dissolving the immediate Calamarain threat offscreen. He offers Data a cryptic 'going away' present that triggers Data's first …
