Summary: Picard and the Enterprise are diverted to the protection of a project so secret he can't find out what it is. As the nature of the project unfolds before him, Picard is caught up in a quest whose roots go back to the time of James T. Kirk - and to the lightest and darkest of human and humanoid desire.
