Script by John Sensebe
Whlist running some tests Commander Riker encounters a strange alien which is in fact a shapechanger—as well as a horde of microscopic things which tries to destroy them and threatens to cause a big political ruckus and puts them in a terrible ethical dilemma while Deanna flops about uselessly so they do something unexpectedly forceful and work out a cunning ruse and so the guest star dies a heroic death, which means everything turns out okay, and Riker turns down his own command. Then, finally Picard says something smug and they leave at warp factor two.
