The Big Goodbye

This week we find the Enterprise crew on their way to Torona IV to meet the Jarada, an insect-like race that follows very strict protocols. This trip is to re-establish contact with the Jarada after a disastrous first contact 20 years prior. Captain Picard, under immense stress while preparing for this meeting, spends sometime on the Holodeck in an attempt to relax. Picard is joined by Lt. Commander Data, Dr Crusher and Ship's Historian Dr. Whalen, but instead of finding relaxation, they find themselves in a perilous situation. Meanwhile, on the bridge, the Jarada are insulted by Riker's attempt at contact and the crew tries to figure out exactly what they should do in order to avoid a repeat of the first Jarada contact. Will the Holodeck revelers survive the program? Will Riker avoid another Jarada incident? Will Wesley come in to save the day....again?!? Join us to get all those answers and more on this episode of Hailing Frequencies Open.
