Stardate 46235.7: After they have been beamed off a shuttlecraft that was breaking up in an energy field, Captain Picard, Ro Laren, Keiko O'Brien, and Guinan are turned into the physical equivalents of twelve-year-old children. When Picard notices that the crew have a problem accepting his new appearance, he transfers command of the ship to Riker for the time being. The Enterprise, however, runs into a trap and is captured by renegade Ferengi. While most of the adults are beamed off the ship to work in a mine for the Ferengi, the four apparent children stay on aboard, together with the actual children. Picard poses as "Number One's" son and Riker gets him access to the children's computer in the school room while confusing his Ferengi guard with technobabble. The four "children", supported by Alexander, beam the Ferengi into confinement. O'Brien and Beverly finally find a method to reverse the rejuvenation, using the transporter.
