Plot: Lt. Commander Data was taking part in an operation the Federation has with a race known as the Son'a to observe another race known as the Ba'ku. They are wearing stealth suits so that the Ba'ku cannot see them. But suddenly, Data rips off his stealth suit, reveals himself and exposes everyone. Picard is them contacted by Admiral Dougherty who tells Picard that Data has to be stopped even if it means destroying him. Picard requests permission to try and stop him without doing that, he succeeds. He then tries to find out what happened to Data. That's when they discover a plot by the Son'a and the Federation to remove the Ba'ku from the planet because they want to tap the radiation being emitted by the nearby planet's rings which have regenerative properties. Picard then airs his objections to Dougherty who tells him that everything they are doing is within the Federation guidelines. That's when Picard steps down as Captain and decides to help the Ba'ku. Data, Crusher, Worf and Troi join him, while Riker and LaForge try to get the Federation to reconsider. When Ru'afo, the leader of the Son'a, learns of what Picard is doing, he decides to remove the Ba'ku even if it means eliminating them.

Quotes:
Captain Picard: I'm not letting go of him!
[last lines]::Captain Picard: Picard to Enterprise. Seven to beam up.::Captain Picard: [exchanges glances with Anij one last time]::Captain Picard: Energize.::[the Enterprise crew dematerialize]
Sona Officer: He wouldn't?::Lieutenant Commander Worf: Yes, he would!
Captain Picard: Will, Geordi: go back and put a face on what's happening here. Make the council see the Baku. It's too easy to turn a blind eye to the suffering of a people you don't know.
Captain Picard: [to Gallatin/Golna] Here you are, closing those eyes, trying not to see what bitterness has done... Turned you into a coward - a man who denies his own conscience.
Captain Picard: Do you remember when we used to be explorers?
Captain Picard: Ru'afo, we're getting too old for this.::Ad'har Ru'afo: After today, that won't be a problem... for either of us.
Data: I feel obliged to point out that the environmental anomalies may have stimulated certain rebellious instincts common to youth, which could affect everyone's judgment... Except mine of course.::Cmdr. Beverly Crusher: Okay Data. What do *you* think we should do?::Data: Saddle up, lock and load!
Commander Riker: You think it's possible for two people to go back in time, undo a mistake they've made?::Counselor Deanna Troi: On this ship? Anything's possible...
Captain Picard: If a court-martial is the only way to tell the Federation what is happening here, Admiral... I welcome it.
