Script by John Sensebe
Whlist investigating a distress signal Commander Riker is put on trial when the Enterprise encounters an apparent duplicate of Data which is in fact a shapechanger—as well as a godlike being which pisses them about for fun and throws the ship thousands of light years off course, puts them in a terrible ethical dilemma, and reprograms Data so they ask nicely and work out a cunning ruse and so the guest star dies a heroic death, which means everything turns out okay, and Data learns a little more about the human condition. Then, finally Data says something irrelevant and they leave at warp factor three.
