The Enterprise is headed to Mintaka III to deliver supplies and repair a failing, faulty reactor belonging to a bunch of Federation scientists who have been studying the natives. Seems harmless enough until the reactor starts going cattywampus just before it goes kablooey, blowing up their hidden observation post. Wouldn’t ya know it? A couple of Mintakians just happen to be passing by and see the newly visible “duck blind” just as the Away Team is fixing stuff and people. One of the Mintakians, Liko, ends up seriously injured, and Bev tosses the Prime Directive out the door to beam him up for medical aid. “Wipe his memory,” says a peeved Picard, but when they beam Liko’s ass back home, he still remembers his trip to the Enterprise and believes Picard is . . . a god! The next thing you know, Troi and Riker are doing some Mintakian cosplay to try and recover a lost scientist, and Picard has to convince the Mintakian’s leader he’s just a cranky old man in a ship. Oh the hijinks! Will Riker and Troi be able to save the missing scientist? Will Troi end up sacrificed to appease a cranky Picard? Will someone please give Liko a haircut?
