Introduction
The Enterprise is diverted to a sector of space that lies beyond their currently explored territory. The Vega IX deep space probe has discovered a space-borne organism of great power, nicknamed "Tin Man," with whom Starfleet wants to make contact. In order to facilitate such contact, mission specialist Tam Elbrun, an unstable but gifted Betazoid, is sent along. Will the Enterprise be able to beat the Romulans to Tin Man, and can they trust Tam Elbrun to do the right thing when they get there?
Tam prepares to dazzle the crew with one of his lesser known Betazoid abilities.
