Description:
Stardate not given: The Enterprise attempts to rescue all six crew members of an Ornaran freighter that is going to break up. But instead of trying to save themselves, they first beam over their cargo, which costs the lives of two of the crew. Two Ornarans and two Brekkians are saved. Their precious cargo is a substance called felicium, which is produced on Brekka and urgently needed to cure a disease on Ornara. While the Ornarans and Brekkians are disputing to whom the salvaged felicium belongs, Beverly discovers that the alleged medicine is actually a narcotic, and that the Brekkians have deliberately made the Ornarans addicted long ago. The Prime Directive prohibits any interference, but while he has to hand out the felicium, Picard refuses to repair any of the remaining Ornaran ships, so the drug trade will come to an end.
