Hviezdny dátum 58105.1: Kapitán Freeman a Shaxs sa transportujú dole na planétu Pakled, aby vyjednávali o prímerí. Neexistuje však pre nich priatelské privítanie, pretože Pakled zvaný Rumdar požiadal o azyl na Cerritos. Na lodi sa Ransom a Kayshon starajú o svojho hosta a coskoro si uvedomia, že Rumdar je v skutocnosti špión. Ukazujú ho na Cerritos bez toho, aby odhalili cokolvek dôležité, dúfajúc, že ??intelektuálne nadaný muž odhalí Pakledské tajomstvá. Potom Rumdar zrazu zmizne a nemôže byt lokalizovaný nikde na lodi. Tendi, Rutherford a Mariner boli poverení „povinnostou na konsolidáciu anomálií“, co v skutocnosti znamená zbierat nebezpecný odpad. Tendi je síce nadšená, no Marinera to vôbec neteší. Nálada Tendi sa však zmení, ked aj ona zažije vedlajšie úcinky spojené s anomálnymi predmetmi. Boimler sa na druhej strane pripojil k skupine „Cervených košiel“, ktorí mu ponúkajú koucovanie velenia výmenou za informácie o kapitánovi Rikerovi. Ked Tendi pod vplyvom ataxiánskeho menica nálady zmutuje na škorpióna, iba Boimler pozná správny postup. Robí zo seba hlupáka, aby sa Tendi smiala, až kým sa konecne nevráti do svojej normálnej podoby. Ransom a Kayshon si myslia, že možno podcenili Rumdara, ale špión sa vznáša vo vesmíre po tom, co si pomýlil prechodovú komoru s toaletou. Dá sa oživit a preniest sa dole, aby oznámil vodcovi Pakledu, že jeho misia bola úspešná. Kapitán Ransom oklame Rumdara, aby prezradil svoje tajomstvo, že nastražil varuviansku bombu so Zemou ako jej cielom. Na Cerritos sa štyrom práporcíkom ulavilo, že zvládli túto výzvu, a používajú podrozvetvený odlievací kamen, ktorý si Mariner ponechal pocas upratovacej povinnosti, aby zavolal Armusa na Vagra II.

Obsah EN:

Stardate 58105.1: Captain Freeman and Shaxs beam down to the Pakled planet for cease fire negotiations. However, there is no friendly welcome for them because a Pakled called Rumdar has requested asylum on the Cerritos. On the ship, Ransom and Kayshon tend to their guest and soon become aware that Rumdar is actually a spy. They show him around on the Cerritos without revealing anything of importance, hoping that the intellectually challenged man reveals Pakled secrets. Then Rumdar disappears all of sudden and can't be located anywhere on the ship. Tendi, Rutherford and Mariner have been assigned to "anomaly consolidation duty", which actually means to collect dangerous trash. While Tendi is excited, this doesn't please Mariner at all. But Tendi's mood shifts when she too experiences the side effects of dealing with anomalous items. Boimler, on the other hand, has joined a group of "Redshirts", who offer him command coaching in exchange for information about Captain Riker. When Tendi, under the influence of an Ataxian mood shifter, mutates to a scorpion, only Boimler knows the right course of action. He makes a fool of himself to get Tendi to laugh until she finally returns to her normal shape. Ransom and Kayshon muse that they may have underestimated Rumdar, but the spy is floating in space after mistaking an airlock for a restroom. He can be revived and beams down to report to the Pakled leader that his mission was successful. Captain Ransom tricks Rumdar into revealing his secret, that he planted a Varuvian bomb with Earth as its destination. On the Cerritos, the four ensigns are relieved to have mastered the challenge, and they use a submanifold casting stone that Mariner kept during the cleaning duty to prank call Armus on Vagra II.
