The
Best Of Both Worlds (Part 2)
Stardate
44001.4: Starfleet musters at Wolf 359, with the Klingons sending
warships to aid them. 40 ships in all collect to confront the
Borg, but the first battle goes to the enemy, with Starfleet
suffering heavy casualties, including some of their best and
biggest ships. After the loss of Picard, Riker is given a field
promotion to captain, and decides to mount his own surprise raid
to snatch the converted Picard back. The raid succeeds, but the
Borg head on to Earth. Data has to hurriedly link up with Picard
and use his link with the Borg to force them to shut down
and eventually self-destruct. Picard is re-humanised in surgery.
The emergency now over, Commander Riker decides to refuse a
Starfleet captain's commission and stay on the Enterprise.

44012.3: While Enterprise is being repaired in Earth orbit,
the crew take a rare opportunity for some home leave. Picard
visits his elder brother on the family estate in France, but they
haven't got along for years, and old tensions resurface. All the
time Picard is suffering from delayed shock due to the severity of
his Borg encounter and matters reach a head when he finds himself
being coerced into leaving Starfleet and taking up a sub-oceanic
terraforming post. Meanwhile, Worf is visited on the ship by his
human foster parents, much to his initial embarrassment, and
Wesley finds a message from his late father, made at the time of
his birth.

44085.7: As the Enterprise is rushing a dying boy to a
nearby Starbase, Data inexplicably takes over the controls and
sends the ship in the opposite direction. Without being
consciously aware of doing so, he is answering the call of his
creator, Dr Noonian Soong, who has created a chip that will give
Data emotions. But Data's brother, Lore, has also been forced to
come, and he tricks his way into Data's place, stealing the chip
and mortally wounding Dr Soong.

44143.7: War with the Talarians looms as Picard deliberates over
whether to return a human boy to the Talarian step-father who has
apparently been abusing him. The boy was one of the few survivors
of a Talarian attack on a Federation colony many years ago, and
now his surviving relatives are looking forward to his return. But
by his very upbringing he is now a Talarian in all but appearance.
The final choice can only be his.

44161.2: Wesley's experiment with warp fields goes disastrously
wrong when he accidentally encapsulates his mother in a slowly
collapsing warp bubble. All Beverley knows is what was created in
the warp bubble at the time she was trapped there, a replica of
the real Enterprise, but influenced by her thoughts so that
people keep disappearing. Stage by stage, she works out what is
happening, and by the time her prison is on the verge of total
collapse, she finds there are only minutes for a desperate Wesley
to rescue her. He finds that the return of The Traveller is all
the help he needs.

44246.3: Kimpek, the leader of the Klingon Empire is dying,
poisoned by one of the two claimants to his position. Before he
dies he chooses Picard to mediate between the two, and discover
who is the murderer. He must choose correctly between the two, or
the Empire could be plunged into civil war. The Klingon Ambassador
to the Federation, and former mate of Worf's, K'Ehleyr (last seen
in the Season 2 episode The Emissary),
is also present, and has brought with her Worf's son, Alexander.
K'Ehleyr is mortally wounded by the murderer, Duras, but before
she dies she gives Worf responsibility for Alexander's upbringing.
Worf then seeks out Duras and, in accordance with Klingon law,
fights and kills him in combat.

O'Brien, but there are complications. Data introduced the couple
to one another, and is to give the bride away, so he feels
responsible for sorting out the problems. Meanwhile, Picard has
been duped into delivering a Romulan undercover agent posing as a

weapons built to resemble those of the Federation to ferment
disruption in the Federation-Klingon Alliance, the first
whisperings of such reverberating from the episode The

(Part 1)
Stardate
44995.3 to 44998.3: Captain Picard is drawn into an argument which
threatens to cause civil war in the Klingon Empire. Gowron, who
won the race for nomination as leader of the Klingon Empire when
Worf killed his rival, Duras, in Reunion,
is being seriously challenged by Duras' sisters, Lursa and B'Etor.
They plan to use their large element of support to militarily
challenge the new leader in a civil war, their real backing coming
from the Romulans, headed by a Commander who bears an uncanny
resemblance to the late Lt Tasha Yar. Worf is also drawn into the
fight and, when Picard refuses to become involved, resigns his
commission to become weapons officer on Gowron's flagship,
regaining his family honour in the process.
