Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDr Reyga is the first example of a sympathetic Ferengi--one who isn't motivated entirely by profit. This would later be explored further in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) with Rom and Nog (and to a lesser extent, Quark).
- GoofsAs the shuttle equipped with the metaphasic shielding flies into the star's corona, the temperature rises to more than one million Kelvins. This may be incorrectly regarded as an error because the surface of a sun-like star is only around 6000 Kelvins. However, the corona, which is an aura of plasma that stretches out thousands of miles from the surface, is in fact much hotter than the surface. Our Sun's corona is well over 1,000,000 Kelvins in temperature.
- Quotes
Guinan: You know, I've never been to a formal inquiry.
Doctor Beverly Crusher: Well, I'll see if I can arrange one for you. All you have to do is disobey orders, violate medical ethics and cause an interstellar incident.

Featured review
A Ferengi Scientist????
Beverly Crusher meets with Guinan to spill her guts about what has happened to her in the preceding day. Things are now told in flashback. A Ferengi scientist (who would normally not have been taken seriously) has supposedly developed a method of protecting the crew of a ship as it enters the corona of a star. The alien who pilots the ship is killed in the process and the Ferengi is discredited by the other scientists on board to observe. However, it isn't long before the big eared alien is himself killed. As is often the case, Beverly goes overboard and performs an autopsy, against the wishes of the family. She has put herself in a position of destroying her career in Star Fleet as well as in the medical profession. She is a complex character because there is no one so adamant about correct and fair treatment of patients. Anyway, she manages to alienate the guests and bring disgrace on herself. In order to clear her name, Guinan suggests that she find a way, no matter the risk. So she takes out a shuttle craft to investigate the forces that affected the original probe into the star's outer layer. It's a mystery story and it works pretty well.
