Game TNG Episode Pitch Game

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"The Honorable Dishonored" - In the interest of security, Enterprise hosts a banquet given by an alien race to honor ex-Starfleet who disobeyed direct orders and saved the alien's lives at the expense of their own people. Needless to say, tensions run high, despite both sides being at peace now. Picard deals with those who are aghast at the idea of such an event happening with Federation approval. Among those who disagree, a teacher in the ship's school whose history lesson version of what happened that day differs from the official version, his wife and daughter being among the dead. When, in response to his teachings, one of his students is about to attack the banquet, hoping to win his favor, he and Worf and Deanna must stop the student before lives are lost.

Next episode: "Troubled Waters"

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Troubled Waters

As part of his exploration of what it means to be human, Data decides to activate his ‘toilet’ subroutines. Unfortunately, the urine of an android is highly acidic and begins to corrode the plumbing around the Enterprise.

Deanna Troi tries to teach Picard how to make a patchwork quilt. Picard says the activity is a ‘frivolous waste of time’, but secretly he enjoys it.

Next episode - Boo Hoo Q.

 

[FederationHistorian]

“Troubled Waters” - A series of sudden flash floods on a Federation colony forces an emergency evacuation, to which the Enterprise arrives to assist in. After Data determines that the flash floods were not natural phenomena, Picard sends Riker, Data and Geordi to investigate further. They land a shuttlecraft to investigate, only for a flash flood to take the shuttlecraft out to sea, standing them on the surface. Meanwhile, Guinan and Deanna try to calm the evacuees down, only for mass unrest to erupt across the Enterprise.

Next episode – “Solstice”

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Since it's a photo finish, I'll take both:

“Solstice” - Geordi and Data help a dying professor friend of Soong's, who wishes to climb to the highest summit on her planet and see the sunrise one last time. Meanwhile, Riker struggles with his guest speaker speech for Enterprise-D's graduating high school class. (yes, Riker. Picard always gets this sort of thing)

"Boo Hoo Q" - Q is punished by the Continuum again - this time, he's reduced to a crying baby with no powers. An ambassador's wife who cannot have a baby finds him and refuses to give him up, believing he's just an abandoned baby. Q wants to leave, but it would disrupt trade/peace talks if the Federation seized "her" baby. Deanna tries to reason with her.

Next episode: "Posse Comitatus"

 

[evilchumlee]

"Posse Comitatus" - The Enterprise is ordered to a Federation colony along the Cardassian DMZ to apprehend a Maquis criminal discovered to be hiding out there. Captain Picard is shocked when the legitimate colonial government rejects the request to turn over the criminal, stating that they consider him to be innocent and would not receive a fair trial by Federation authorities. When diplomacy fails, Starfleet orders Picard to take the criminal by force. The decision of how to act weighs heavily on Picard, knowing that the colony will do everything in its power to protect the accused, while also pondering the validity of their argument that he would be be given a fair trial. Picard comes to agree with the colonists that given Starfleet's attitude, they may well be right. Picard argues with Starfleet, who reiterate their orders to apprehend the accused. Picard refuses the order, on grounds that to follow them would lead to civilian causalities that would be unavoidable and thus violate Starfleet regulations. In the end, Starfleet threatens Picard with court martial, but the legalities of the order were determined to be in a gray area. Before the Enterprise departs, Picard is assured that the local government will conduct an investigation and hold a trial, inviting Federation participation, on the grounds that the local authorities conduct the trial. Starfleet begrudgingly agrees.

Nest episode: "All the worlds a stage..."

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"All the worlds a stage..." - Enterprise is pulled into a revolution on a planet that has recently made contact with the Federation.

When real people start getting hurt, Picard must put a stop to it.

Next episode: "Savoir Faire"

 

[evilchumlee]

Feel like we have a bottle episode inbound.

"Savoir Faire" - Two plots revolve around "Federation Day" being celebrated on the Enterprise, separately following Data and Barclay through the festivities. Both struggle in their own unique way to act appropriately, attempting to navigate their way through social interactions with the crew and trying to figure out how they are supposed to act. In the end, the two plots converge when Data and Barclay end up interacting with each other and forming a bond, realizing they were both having a similar struggle.

Next episode: "Acta, non verba" (Actions, not words. or Actions peak louder than words)

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Acta, Non Verba" - After a mysterious condition renders vocalization and speech impossible, everyone deals with it in their own way; some use sign language, some type or write messages. Deanna attempts to mediate an argument between two crew members, aided by her empath powers, Beverly looks for a cure, and so on. Meanwhile, Picard, unaffected by the problem, delivers a warning to the government of a Federation planet on probation that had promised to comply with a directive but had not done so.

Meanwhile, Beverly and Nurse Ogawa have both been invited to host guest lectures at Starfleet Academy.

Next episode – “The Treehouse”

 

[Tiran O'Saurus]

"The Treehouse"- The Enterprise encounters a starship crewed solely by children, who claim that a plague whiped out the adults but left them alive. Dr. Crusher boards to investigate the plague, and seeing the children's interactions gives her flashbacks to a time in her childhood on Luna, when she and her friends broke into a domed arboretum to build a treehouse. She then realizes the children are lying: the adults didn't all die, because there were no adults in the first place: the starship was stolen by the kids to use as a clubhouse. Realizing this, the Enterprise tows it back to the planet it came from.

Wesley takes a date into the holodeck for her birthday, playing as Dixon's Hill's young ward and his friend. He plays along, then holds them hostage when they discover his plan - to impersonate Picard by intercepting an important call from Starfleet Intel, then selling it to the Romulans in exchange for freedom. Picard himself must go into the program in disguise with Riker, using Minuet as a femme fatale distraction.
