Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Captain Picard receives a hail from the Enterprise 's sister ship, the USS Yamato. It has been badly damaged after an illegal trip into the neutral zone. The Yamato 's captain, an archaeology buff like Picard, believes he has discovered the fabled planet of Iconia. The Iconians were credited with advanced technology and he fears that the Romulans may use that technology against the Federation. The transmission begins to fade and alarms are heard on board the Yamato. The transmission is lost as the USS Yamato detonates due to a warp core breach. Jean-Luc Picard is a character in Star Trek, the commanding officer (having the rank of Captain) of the USS Enterprise-D and the USS Enterprise-E. He was played by British actor Patrick Stewart in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) and resulting films. ...

With the logs from the Yamato Picard seeks out Iconia, which does indeed lie within the neutral zone. They go there to discover what destroyed the Yamato, and to keep Iconia's technology from the Romulans. En route La Forge analyses the logs for any clue as to how the disaster occurred. When the Enterprise arrives at Iconia they detect a probe launched automatically from the surface. La Forge is informed, but has discovered that the Yamato also detected such a probe. He races to the Bridge yelling to destroy the probe, which Picard does. La Forge has discovered that the probe re-writes the computer systems of another ship if they are incompatible and this causes problems; in the Yamato 's case a warp breach. A copy of the 'virus' has already infected the Enterprise, downloaded from corrupted logs, although its spread is slower.
Detecting an energy source on the surface (which has been a victim of stellar bombardment) Data, Picard and Worf bean down to the facility. They discover a 'gate' which seems to allow instantaneous interstellar travel and a facility for launching probes. Data is infected by the virus (as he is an android) but is able to tell Picard how to destroy the base. Picard also vaporises his tricorder so that no knowledge of the Iconian technology is passed on. Data is a character in the Star Trek fictional universe. ...
