Stardate 47829.1: The Ferengi Bok still blames Picard for his son's death in the Battle of Maxia. He sends a probe that announces that he is going to kill Jason Vigo, Picard's possible son from an affair with a woman named Miranda Vigo 24 years ago. The crew finds Jason Vigo on the planet Camor V, where the young man was on an underground rock climbing tour. A DNA test verifies that Jason Vigo, who has had a troubled life after his mother's death, is Picard's son. Bok uses a subspace transporter to kidnap Jason. In the meantime a genetic defect is brought to light that Jason can't have inherited from either his mother or Picard. Actually, his DNA has been resequenced to match Picard's. The captain uses the risky subspace transporter too, and once again he reveals Bok's unprofitable intentions to his crew who relieve him of command.
