“Captain? This is Doctor Selar.”

On the bridge now, Picard glanced at Data before replying. “Yes, Doctor. What the devil is going on there?”

“Apparently, you were right to warn us about Doctor Greyhorse. He was putting something in Captain Ben Zoma’s mouth when I interrupted him. A pill—poison, I would guess. Fortunately, I was able to retrieve it.”

Picard swore softly. It had been close.

“Where is Greyhorse now?” asked the captain. “Were you able to detain him?”

A slight pause. “No, sir. My priority was the safety of the patient.”

Picard nodded. “Of course. Thank you, Doctor.”

“We must stop him, sir,” Data said. He looked at the captain. “With what he knows about ship’s systems—”

Before he could finish, Picard was calling Worf over the intercom.

“Aye, sir?” the Klingon replied.

“Mister Worf, we have located Doctor Greyhorse. He fled sickbay just a few moments ago.”

The Klingon grunted. “I’ll dispatch a team to the area—and limit the turbolifts to security use only.”

“Very good,” the captain said. He almost warned Worf about Greyhorse using his communicator to lay down a false trail—but he was sure the security chief was well aware of that tactic by now.

He stood and turned to Worf’s replacement at tactical.

“Get Commander Riker up here right away. And—”

“Captain?”

Picard responded without turning. “What is it, Commander?”

Data seemed to hesitate for just the smallest fraction of a second. “Sir, we have made contact with the Romulans.”

Picard turned and faced the main viewscreen—and his mouth went dry. Before him was a Romulan warbird—immense, powerful. And he knew without asking that all its disruptors were trained on the Enterprise.
