He went down to a planet seeking the archetect and found that it was a Bajoran female
They brought weapon. She asked if a "peacock" was in place. They were getting a big prize. She didn't want any Starfleet personal hurt. Their plan was to get rid of the Cardassians and then return to Starfleet
Picard found the "fire septer" from Iconia Prime on his dig.
On the Starbase they were at had some of the best museums in StarFleet. After checking in Picard met with Captain Slarn, the base commander, then with Laforge and the repair crew.
Admiral Nechayev, the only person who scarred Picard, welcomed them to th Starbase. The saucer can survive reentry into planetary atmosphere and then crashland. They have put a more powerful forcefield.
The Enterprise will test this prototype saucer section. Riker was with a Deltan woman for a while. Then she went to class. However Riker knew her class was an online class and was self paced.
She ended up staying, because Riker said he doesn't know if he'll get another shore leave. She was an Amazon. His comm chirped. Data and Geordi were going to play pool on Starbase 211. They were stopped by Picard who needed to see them.
Worf was observing Andorian religion in a play, Troi joined him, and invited him to a concert she was going to. Picard called him and he had to leave. Picard called a number of his senior staff and asked them to join him on the mission to test the new saucer.
Troi and Crusher felt left out so they joined them. They found out that they were about to enter a simulation how the new saucer handled in the attack of the Borg. The saucer separated from the Stardrive. Data beamed over to the stardrive section.
Riker was left looking over the admirals shoulder. They are testing the new saucer in a simulation concerning Kit-Jet 2 protecting it from the Borg. They made contact with the colonists, thus distracting the Borg.
Two other ships were being sent to provide assistance. The saucer was going to house the colonists, while the stardrive distracts the Borg. Picard took command of the stardrive over the admiral.
Riker tried to end the Simulation, then Picard did too, but they could not. They weren't sure if the battle was real or not. Data and Worf were going to take a shuttle to find the Saucer. The saucer had a virus.
The saucer was lost. The saucer only had impulse. Worf went in a shuttle pod to gain assistance. When he got back the hull looked to be dead. Worf destroyed the Borg cube and the captain congradalated him.
They still had no idea where the saucer section was. The admirals assistant, a Maquis, had control of the saucer section. The Maquis wanted the Enterprise to scare the Cardassians out of the Demiliterized zone
The Maquis were planning to destroy Spensorville in the Cardassians part because it was supposedly known to be the center of the Cardassian war effort
The hull section was going to get the old saucer section off KitJob.and Beverly and Troi were going to captain it, and help look for the other saucer section. Troi was in an exclusive club playing poker.
Beverly was taking a relaxing mud bath with Guinan when she was asked to command the saucer section in thirty minutes. Guinan offered to go with her, as the morale officer. Beverly offered her a position of science officer but she refused. Beverly took command and made Troi number 1. Riker got the captured crew members to the ready room.
Geordi escaped in a Jeffries tube, not followed by anyone. Geordi made it to the trandportor room and got Riker. He couldn't get the admiral because they ripped her combadge off. The stardrive section hailed them unbeknownst that the saucer was under Maquis authority. The stardrive got a distress signal from the saucer and aborted the docking.
The admiral ordered Picard to destroy the saucer. The captain staged a surrender the fired on the saucer. The saucer escaped them. The Maquis were disabling the life support throughout the saucer driving Riker and Laforge out.
Riker was caught by the Bajoran Maquis when Riker tried to put the life support back on. He fought him hand to hand. The architect is a large Bajoran female, her space was being destroyed, she tried to burn all the files she obtained in fear they would fall in the wrong hands.
Some Cardassians beamed in and she struck them down and blew up her section with a grandee. The granade never went off, gas was coming in.
The architect was old and tired. She sprained her ankle and limped on a rescue ship. If they got out of the DMZ they would be alright. Picard was nervously waiting for the old saucer to randevous with them. Guinan asked if they want coffee on the bridge and Crusher and Troi said no.
They found the other saucer. Beverly was allowing the people from the other saucer to beam over. They didn't, because they had Bajorans, and no Bajorans were on the team that was suppose to test the saucer. Riker and Geordi are tired of not knowing what's going on.
So the Maquis are going to beam down to a planet that is in its Iron Age and destroy the saucer. Riker came on the bridge surrendering unarmed saying Geordi was dead. Riker and the admiral got transported by Geordi. Picard fired at both saucers, to tell which one was non-Maqui.
Picard and Beverly were joining to find the Maquis. Riker and Geordi just killed a Maquis woman. Riker was called to the bridge to land the saucer. He and Laforge went. He was trying to outsmart them.
Riker landed the saucer in the ocean. Everyone but Geordi, Fulton and Riker were unconscious. Cardassians beamed to the saucer an were killed instantly. The saucer was sinking, Riker just made it to the top.
Geordi was in quicksand. Geordi got out. The Machi were fighting amongst themselves. As Geordi sneaked away he was caught by a native cenatour. The Cardassians were on the beach and went after the Maquis.
The Cardassian ship over the planet was found by the Enterprise. They helped Enterprise find some of the.survivors. Riker was the first rescued. Then they beamed the admiral up. All the Maquis died. Geordi vaporized them with his phaser. They destroyed the saucer.
