 The Enterprise encounters a rare antique starship from an extinct culture floating in an asteroid field, but becomes trapped by the same energy-draining booby trap that killed the other ship s crew. While running simulations of the Enterprise s engine abilities on the holodeck, Geordi, who has been going through some romantic woes, finds himself unusually taken with a holographic simulacrum of Dr. Leah Brahms, the ship s engine designer.
