Commanders,

Today, we are delighted to bring you the second arc of The Next Generation. Many of you expressed your appreciation and gratitude when we launched TNG a month ago, but you all noted that something fundamental was missing. Yes, this month Picard will be coming during a special event!

Make It So!

Introducing the second part of Star Trek: The Next Generation arc!

“Should we investigate Cardassian space and Worf’s escape pod, or try to find Captain Picard’s whereabouts?”

Having returned Data, Geordi La Forge, and Dr. Beverly Crusher to the Enterprise-D, you find yourself with a difficult decision to make. You have leads on the whereabouts of both Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Worf’s pod. However, both seem to be located in dangerous areas, and you must decide who to pursue first.

With the lead to Captain Picard, it seems he has survived by making a living in an Arkonian Mercenary system. However, with a slew of suspicious eyes watching him every day, how will you be able to evacuate him from such a difficult situation?

Meanwhile, the signal from Worf’s escape pod seems to lead into Cardassian territory. Notorious for their ruthless, violent ways, you shudder to think what may happen if they find the Klingon crew member, if they haven’t already.

Who will you try to find first? Time is ticking away, and you have to make the call.

“Captain Picard is surrounded by criminals and weapons smugglers. I know he can fend for himself, but only for so long.”
