Enterprise</I> takes part in a exchange program in which Mendon, a Benzite, comes aboard the ship, while Commander Riker becomes the first Federation officer to serve aboard a Klingon vessel, as First Officer on the cruiser <I>Pagh</I>. After a lesson from Lieutenant Commander Worf on Klingon traditions and honour, Riker beams aboard the Klingon ship; when the Second Officer questions his authority and loyalty, Riker immediately overpowers him, proving himself through the Klingon maxim that brute strength rules. After the <I>Enterprise</I> crew discovers a virulent strain of bacteria eating through the ship's hull, Captain Picard gives the order to intercept the <I>Pagh</I> to warn the Klingons of the threat; however, having detected the bacteria on their hull, the crew of the Klingon vessel mistakenly believes that the <I>Enterprise</I> is responsible. Picard becomes concerned when he is unable to communicate with the cloaked <I>Pagh</I>, and he raises his ship's shields - which the Klingons and Riker immediately interpret as an act of aggression... <BR><BR> Patrick Stewart (<B>Captain Jean-Luc Picard</B>), Jonathan Frakes (<B>Commander William Thomas Riker</B>), LeVar Burton (<B>Chief Engineer Lieutenant Geordi La Forge</B>), Michael Dorn (<B>Security Chief Lieutenant Worf</B>), Marina Sirtis (<B>Councelor Deanna Troi</B>), Brent Spiner (<B>Lieutenant Commander Data</B>), Wil Wheaton (<B>Wesley Crusher</B>), Diana Muldaur (<B>Doctor [Commander] Katherine  Kate Pulaski</B>), John Putch (<B>Ensign Mendon</B>), Christopher Collins (<B>Captain Kargan</B>), Brian Thompson (<B>Klag</B>), Colm Meaney (<B>Transporter Chief Miles O Brien</B>), Peter Parros (<B>Tactics Officer</B>), Laura Drake (<B>Vekma</B>) <BR><BR><B>Directed by Rob Bowman <BR>Produced by Burton Armus, John Mason and Mike Gray <BR>Executive Producer Gene Roddenberry </B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR>6th February, 1989 <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Thomas Riker, Chief Engineer Lieutenant Geordi La Forge, Security Chief Lieutenant Worf, Councelor Deanna Troi, Lieutenant Commander Data, Doctor [Commander] Katherine  Kate Pulaski and Wesley Crusher <BR><BR><BR> </BODY> </HTML>
