Captain Alexander Rydell finds out that some people consider his little run-in with the Joegonots to be a violation of the Prime Directive. Facing a court martial with Admiral Picard as judge and Will Riker as prosecutor, Rydell's only hope is Lieutenant Commander Jaroch, assuming of course he doesn't let J'Ter out and kill everyone. Meanwhile, Travis Dillon is given command of his own ship and sent to deal with some unruly Klingons. If that's not enough, Commander Scott Baird's got amnesia, Doctor Rebecca Singer's lost her mind, and Trinian must save the Secondprize from a hostile takeover.
Summary
After Ambassador Kyyyecht complains about Captain Alexander Rydell's actions against the Joegonots, Rydell is summoned back to Earth for a trial. At the same time, Commander Travis Dillon receives word that he is being promoted and given command of the USS Edsel. Oh, there's also a small riot on the ship that gives Commander Scott Baird a concussion resulting in amnesia and causes Dr. Rebecca Singer to accidentally inject herself with a load of heavy-duty pain killers.
Dillon and the Edsel are ordered to Gulax IV, where Dr. Reginald Smythe has made a discovery. A Klingon ship under the command of Captain Donask also learns of the discovery and, believing that it may be an ancient Firzuk weapon, cross into Federation space to take possession of it. With few options available to him that won't end in death, Dillon challenges Donask to a competition for possession of the discovery.
The drugs coursing through Dr. Singer lead her to believe to that she is James T. Kirk. With the Secondprize is spacedock and the crew on shore leave, she is able to take over the ship with the help of several starbase crewmen that she drugs into following her. Trinian, who also remained on board, is able to stop Singer with the help of Kristen Larkin.
Emily Sullivan uses Baird's condition as an opportunity to retrain him (albeit temporarily) to stop using so much profanity, to cook, and other things. She, Lisa Beck, and Claire Webber take Baird to the Becks' beach house on a small island off the coast of North Carolina for the retraining. Baird runs away, and Sullivan, Beck, and Webber find themselves captured by a team of assassins who were hiding on the island after pulling a job in Europe. After the three officers are forced to serve the assassins and Sullivan laments what she did to Baird, the assassins reveals themselves as Baird, Monica Vaughn, Craig Porter, and Charlie Preston. Baird had regained his memory earlier and called in help to get revenge.
The case against Rydell is dismissed on a technicality after Jaroch discovers that Rydell's academy nemesis, William Riker, gave Ambassador Kyyyecht classified documents about the Joegonot incident. With Rydell cleared, the Secondprize is sent to Gulax IV to bail out Dillon. They arrive just as Donask has tired of Dillon's challenges, demanding something more suited to a warrior. Rydell challenges her to a sharpshooting competition, which he wins. Donask takes the discovery anyway and speeds away from Gulax IV. That's fine by Rydell. While he was distracting Donask, he had Jaroch beam the actual device Smythe discovered, a logic computer, up to the Secondprize and replace it with the Secondprize's coffee machine.
After reviewing the incident, Starfleet decides that Dillon isn't quite ready for command and puts him back on the Secondprize. Donask returns to the Empire with her "prize" and ends up with a new job serving coffee to the High Council. we're sure it's very honorable coffee fit for a warrior.
