Synopsis

An emergency transmission from a Federation science station brings the Enterprise to Ventax II. A woman with great powers claims to be the Ventaxian's mythical figure Ardra and she has returned to claim the planet and its inhabitants by a 1,000 year old contract. Picard sets out to prove that she is just a con-artist.

At one point, Ardra transforms herself in to Fek'lhr, The Guardian of Gre'thor--where dishonored Klingons go after they die.
