Her questions stop when Picard's tests reveal that they have found one of the artifacts they are looking for. Their acrimonious relationship arouses Tallera's suspicions, and she later interrogates Picard. On the mercenary ship, Riker and Picard stage a heated argument. He asks that La Forge begin a search for a decryption key. Data joins in the investigation and begins to re-sequence the signal. Geordi La Forge and Troi attempt to find out more hidden signals in Riker's transmission, and La Forge does detect a pattern in a sub-harmonic analysis of the transmission. Data orders the crew to let the ship go, much to Worf's chagrin, assuming that this is what Riker wants them to do.ĭata is intent on having the Enterprise hold position and continue investigating, rather than send ships to the other two likely planets – Draken IV and Yadalla Prime – to be attacked. This, along with the antimatter containment units buckling forces Baran to order the mercenary ship to withdraw. Picard pretends that phaser hit damaged the vessel's three plasma arrays on their disruptors. The Enterprise simulates serious damage and fires back with only minimal phaser power. Troi believes Riker has done something to their weapons, which Data, as acting captain, believes it to be true and sees that they must play along. The same is true when the starboard nacelle is then hit.
To Worf's surprise, the damage was minimal. The USS Enterprise-D is hit on the port nacelle with a barrage of fire from the mercenary vessel where Riker is being held prisoner.
