Description:

Stardate 45047.2: The Enterprise is on a mission to establish relations with the Children of Tama, whose language was previously described as being "incomprehensible". When the attempts of verbal communication between the Enterprise and the Tamarian ship fail, the Tamarians abduct Picard and isolate him on the planet El-Adrel IV, together with their Captain Dathon. Facing a common enemy in the form of a dangerous creature, they re-enact what the Tamarians call "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra". Picard begins to understand the meaning of this and other odd expressions. As opposed to abstract words, they reflect the Tamarian history and customs. Dathon, however, is mortally injured by the creature. Back on the Enterprise, Picard can put an end to the ongoing confrontation with the Tamarian ship when he demonstrates his knowledge of their language.
