The Enterprise heads to the border of Federation space in order to save a colony from... space pirates (?) at the behest of a Starfleet counselor (or something). But things turn out not to be what they seem, when the counselor turns out to be (SPOILER ALERT) not what they seem.

Introduction

The Enterprise visits a colony of a race we learn very little about, and brings back an infection to a ship full of characters harboring too many Deep Dark Secrets to keep straight.
