Cost of Living
Enterprise
shoots down an asteriod heading for a planet. It shatters
most of it however the core holds together. Worf
is unable to lock on a tractor beam. Picard
orders a particle beam which destroys it. They continue on
their course.
Worf and Alexander
talk to Trio about their arguments. Troi
suggests a contract. Worf is hestitant but agrees. She tells
Alexander most children eventually appreciate their parents.
They leave and Troi receives a comm call. She does not look
happy when told her mother is aboard.
Troi meets her mother in the transporter room and she tells
her she is getting married. Later In Ten
Forward she admints to Troi that she has never met the
groom but have exchanged profiles with him.
Worf and Alexander interupt, having problems. Troi is interupted
by her mother who gives unhelpful advice. Meanwhile Riker
tells Picard that Mrs.
Troi wants him to give her away. Picard gives permission
for an onboard wedding.
Alexander arrives for his weekly meeting with Troi but finds
Lwaxana instead. She talks to Alexander and gets him to tell
her how he does not like his father. Lwaxana takes Alexander
onto the holodeck.
To cut a long story short the programme is some weird happy
place. Troi goes to see Worf and they discover Alexander is
on the holodeck with Lwaxana. They go onto the holodeck and
Worf busts the happyness guardian in the bubble. They find
Alexander and Lwaxana having a mud bath and Troi tells her
mother off.
Lwaxana tells Troi she is not having a traditional Betazoid
wedding and Troi is suprised. She tries to get more information
but Lwaxana messes about with the replicators which are acting
strange.
In engineering Data
and Geordi notice
most of the replicators are malfunctioning. They crawl into
a Jeffrey's tube to investigate. Meanwhile Lwaxana tries on
her wedding gown. Alexander turns p and Lwaxana tells him
she is getting married so she will not be alone.
Data and Geordi brief Picard on the problem. Then the enershal
dampners go offline. Geordi manges to bring the secondary
systems online. Enterprise is forced to stay at impulse.
Geordi tells Picard and Riker
a conversion has taken place and some galatinus substance
has been causing the problems. Picard greets the minister
when he beams aboard and Lwaxana introduces Troi to him. The
minister brings his protocal master along with him.
Geordi suggests a living organism has eaten the nitrium on
the ship and the substance is the waste product. Meanwhile
Alexander goes to see Lwaxana against the wishes of Worf.
Worf and Troi turn up to collect Alexander but the protocal
master tells them they must discss marital dicessions. However
Alexander and Lwaxana have already left.
Geordi and Data discover there is something aboard the ship.
Meanwhile the holodeck seems to break down. Picard sets a
course for the asteroid field as it is rich in nitrium so
the metal parisite may leave the ship.
Picard and Data take the turbolift to deck 1 but the computer
goes offline. Data opens the door manually. Life support begins
to randomly fail and the parisite gets into the core, reducing
the Enterprise to warp 6.
More decks need to be exacuated and Picard tells Data to
execute the plan by himself if they all pass out. They arrive
at the asteriod field. Data prepares the plan wbut the chamber
begins to destabalise.
Data manages to pull of the plan and the crew regain conscienceness.
Lwaxana is late for the wedding and when she arrives she is
naked as in a traditionaal Barazoid wedding. The minister
looks shocked and the protocal master drags the minister away.
Later Lwaxana, Worf, Alexander and Troi take a mudbath. Worf
says "your just suppose to sit here?"
