Description:
Stardate: 45208.2: Wesley Crusher, back on the Enterprise on vacation, has a crush on Ensign Robin Lefler who works in engineering. They are the only two crew members -apart from Data who is deactivated by Geordi and Beverly- not to become addicted to a new video game that everyone on the ship is playing all the time. Riker has received this game from the Ktarian woman Etana Jol whose group of political extremists is using subconscious messages in the game to take control of key positions within the Federation. Wesley and Robin escape the permanent attempts by the rest of the crew to make them play, and they begin to repair Data. After Robin has become addicted to the game, Wesley is on his own. But he is finally forced by the crew to play too. Fortunately Data, who has been fully reactivated in the meantime, finds a countermeasure in the form of a strobe light that cancels out the effect of the game.
