Stardate: 47254.1 While welcoming a Carin delegation, Lwaxana is called on to help, as the Carin are a telepathic species without knowledge of spoken language. However, Lwaxana suddenly lapses into a coma. Troi must use the help of the Carin, who may have caused Lwaxana to lapse into her coma, to help save her mother.
But what is the dark secret her mother holds deep in her mind, and who is the child Lwaxana continues to see while in her coma?
"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no one has gone before".
In this highly successful spin-off to the original Star Trek, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Galaxy-Class starship, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, set out to explore the final frontier. Along the way, they make first contact with myriad different species and solve reconflicts among those societies with whom they were already familiar, most notably the Klingon Empire.
