Captain’s log: The Enterprise is assisting Atrea IV with a geological disaster. The planet’s molten core is cooling to the point where it’s solidifying. According to the two geologists who report on board—Dr. Pran Tainer and his human wife, Dr. Juliana Tainer—Atrea will become uninhabitable in thirteen months.
La Forge and Data propose to drill holes through the crust to the pockets of cooling magma and use plasma infusion to reliquefy it. After the meeting ends, Juliana approaches Data and reveals that she was once married to Noonien Soong and worked with him on the creation of Data on Omicron Theta. She’s his Mom.
