When the D finds some old NASA junk orbiting a strange new world, they beam down to find themselves in a shitty old novel. One long-dead astronaut later, they discover they're trapped inside this hotel and casino and only Data's ability to know when to hold 'em can break them free.

When some young hotshot Starfleet science lower decker drops by the D to take Data apart to see how it all works, Data's very personhood comes into question. Did this question really need to be decided today? Was the question actually even decided?

When Riker joins the Starfleet Cultural Exchange Program, relationships begin building upon new understanding. But when literally everything else reinforces the Klingons distrust of Humans, Riker must find a way to honor his oaths to both the Pagh and the Enterprise.

When a 911 call leads us to another Classic Star Trek grumpy hermit scientist, Data's body is used without his consent to save the life of another. But when Star Trek takes the position that "no being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another," we get mad on Adriana Smith's behalf all over again.
