Stardate 42779.1: Riker and the crew attempt to rescue Geordi from a slow witted crew of Pakleds who claim to need the chief engineer’s technical expertise, while the captain, who is at a medical research base receiving a heart transplant, is about to die in the hands of a surgeon not possessed of Dr. Pulaski’s skill.
