The Enterprise gets an order to investigate a disturbance Starfleet detected in the Neutral Zone. Upon arriving they find a damaged transport ship adrift with 3 Klingons aboard, one of them badly wounded. Yar beams them over just before the damaged ship explodes and takes them to sickbay where Dr. Crusher starts treatment on the wounded Klingon. On the bridge Picard tells K'Nera how Korris and Komnel died. K'Nera tells Worf that once his tenure on board the Enterprise is over he must consider joining them as they can learn from each other.
