Stardate 45761.3: Kriosian Ambassador Briam arrives aboard the Enterprise with a peace gift to Alrik, the ruler of Valt Minor. En route to Valt Minor the Enterprise rescues two Ferengi from a shuttle in distress. One of them attempts to steal the gift, which turns out to be a beautiful young woman called Kamala. She is an empathic metamorph, meaning that she can become exactly what any man wants her to be. When Briam is hurt by the Ferengi, Picard has to take over his ambassadorial duties - with the help of Kamala. They feel attracted to each other, also because Picard is the first man who affirms that she has a value of herself. Just when Kamala is about to meet Alrik, who is not really interested in her, she tells Picard that she will fulfill her duty but that she has already bonded with him, by which she remains the woman Picard always wanted.
