He arrives in the cavern with the snake cane and explains how to use it. Only one person can go back this time, and Clemens volunteers. Meanwhile, they have to send someone back to get Picard. Geordi has Riker call off their impending attack just in time.ĭue to Techno Babble, the ship will need to adjust their photon torpedoes to attack the Devidians safely. When Data comes back online, he relates Picard's message to not attack the Devidians. Eventually he finds and removed the iron filing from Data's head. Meanwhile, Geordi tries to reattach Data's 500-year-old head to his body but has trouble. Troi explains how the 24th century is actually pretty amazing, which eases Clemens's concerns. When he's beamed aboard the Enterprise, he's amazed but horrified, assuming that militarism and the enslavement of other species now reign, while simple pleasures like cigars and chivalry are forgotten. Picard uses an iron filing to adjust Data's positronic brain to send a message into the future.Ĭlemens arrives in the 24th century and reclaims his pocket watch. Picard questions the Devidian and learns that if the crew attacks their cavern in the 24th century, it will destroy the Earth through the temporal connection. The crew follows, along with Clemens, leaving Picard behind with the unconscious Guinan, one injured Devidian, and Data's head. A temporal gate back to Devidia II opens, through which one of the Devidian escapes.

Data and a Devidian fight over the cane, which emits a blast of energy that blows Data's head off. In the caverns, Clemens tries to arrest the group for interfering with the timeline, but the Devidians arrive and attack. They all depart, not realizing that Clemens is in hot pursuit. Guinan meets Picard for the first time, and he assures her that they will become "more than friends." The united group studies the cane and realizes that it can return them to their time if they get back to the temporally anomalous cave. The brawl attracts the police, and they're chased away, but the temporal disturbances have alerted Data, and he arrives just in time to spirit them to safety. They drive off the Devidians and steal their snake-topped cane, which is some sort of temporal device. The Devidians arrive at the hospital where Crusher is staking out, and she summons the crew back for a big brawl. They quickly deduce that the Devidians are using the cholera outbreak as a cover for their life-sucking. The Enterprise away team has established themselves as an acting troupe as they look for signs of Data and the Devidians. Meanwhile, two Devidians are lurking in the neighborhood sucking the life force from the vulnerable population. But then Data gets caught in a temporal distortion opened by the aliens and stops communicating.Īt the beginning of part 2, we have Clemens trying to spread word about time travelers in their midst as Data and Guinan go about their temporal business. He describes reptilian aliens feeding on the humans' energy near a trapped "ophidian" (a snake).

Data uses some Applied Phlebotinum to phase himself to where the humans are. In spite of Picard's best efforts to exclude him, Data is needed to complete the survey. Troi detects invisible human life forms in the caverns. Data, however, is comforted that his life will have a conclusion, like any other life form.Īt Devidia II, Picard orders an away team down to investigate some temporal disturbances. On the way there, the crew grapple with the apparent revelation that Data will at some point travel back in time to the 19th century and die. While examining it, Geordi notes that it has a microscopic life form on it native only to the planet of Devidia II. The Enterprise is called back to Earth to investigate an unusual artifact in San Francisco, an ancient pocket watch and Data's head, apparently left untouched for five centuries.
