Introduction
The Enterprise is tasked with fixing the Argus Array, a massive subspace telescope on the border of Federation space. The Enterprise quickly finds the cause of the malfunction, a mysterious alien probe that manages to disable any computer system it interacts with. Investigating by shuttle, Cmdr. LaForge and Lt. Barclay are scanned by the probe. The shuttle is disabled, and Barclay suddenly begins to transform into a more confident, capable version of himself. How far will the transformation go? What will happen to the Enterprise as a result?
People, it's got frickin' laser beams in it. There's not much more to be said.
