Summary[]
The Enterprise-D discovers a century-old Klingon "lifeboat," with an unusual looking Klingon aboard.
- Although this story refers to the events of TNG episode "The Emissary" happening "two years ago" (which would place the story in late 2367), other evidence indicates a date of at least 2369.
