Description:
Stardate not given: The Cerritos has almost completed a second-contact mission to Apergos. Mariner requests permission to clean up the polluted buildings in the planet's capital city, which Captain Freeman grants under the terms of their mother-daughter deal. Ensign Rutherford's personal likes and dislikes have changed a bit since the reset of his implant. Tendi claims that he suffers from synthetic memory degradation (SMD) and tries various methods to cure his condition. In the end, she confesses to Rutherford that he has no SMD and that she was just afraid he wouldn't like her any more. As Mariner removes the dirt of centuries from a monument on Apergos, an ancient mechanism is activated and emits "strange energy" that hits Commander Ransom. Much like Gary Mitchell, Ransom develops god-like powers. His head rises into orbit and threatens to destroy the Cerritos. While Mariner and Doctor T'Ana are still attempting to harm Ransom's remaining body, Freeman discovers that flattery diminishes his powers. But it is not until Mariner kicks into Ransom's crotch that he can be defeated. Meanwhile on the Titan, Boimler is horrified as the ship fights the Pakleds and has to escape through an anomaly.
