Captain Alexander Rydell's past comes back to haunt him as the USS Secondprize is sent on a diplomatic mission to the planet Rydell would least like to revisit. Can he get over the past long enough to fulfil his duty, or will someone else take the decision out of his hands?
Summary
The USS Secondprize is en route to Ugilious to take part in the ceremonies surrounding the admission of the Joegonots to the Federation, much to Captain Alexander Rydell's dismay. They are taking with them Federation Representative Byan Sel of Betazed, who was not a fan of Rydell's actions that turned the Joegonots into humans, and his bodyguard, the Klingon Mookow.
Counselor Claire Webber, who is even less pleased about going to Ugilious, takes over the bridge, leaving only her and Lieutenant Andrea Carr in the Secondprize's command center while the rest of the command crew is trapped in other places around the ship. Rydell tries to talk Webber down. Carr uses the distraction to attack Webber, leading to a fight between the two women across the bridge.
