Description:
Stardate 44286.5: Riker becomes unconscious in a cave on Alpha Onias III, and he wakes up on the Enterprise sixteen years later. According to Beverly a virus has wiped out his whole memory of the years in between. Riker tries to fit into his new role as the ship's captain and father of young Jean-Luc. Yet, he remains suspicious because of the frequent malfunctions of the ship's computer and he doesn't trust Romulan Ambassador Tomalak with whom he is supposed to negotiate a treaty. When Riker discovers that he was allegedly married to Minuet, he knows this all must be a ruse, because Minuet was only a hologram. Riker ends the simulation and finds himself in a Romulan holodeck where he was to reveal the location of Outpost 23 to Commander Tomalak. He meets Jean-Luc again, who now calls himself Ethan, and together they try to escape from their Romulan prison. Ethan, however, accidentally mentions that Tomalak was an ambassador in the Romulan simulation which he should not know. Riker urges him to end this simulation too, and the two are back in the cave again. The boy is actually an alien who was left behind by his parents. A hologenerator being his only company, he was just seeking a friend.
