Synopsis

While investigating the disappearance of a J'naii shuttle, Riker's romance with Soren conflicts with their prohibition of male-female relationships.

Guest Cast

Melinda Culea (Soren)
Callan White (Krite)
Megan Cole (Noor)

Notes

The J'naii are an androgynous race, where no one has gender. Those with tendencies toward a gender are considered abnormal and are "cured" with shock therapy. Reproduction is asexual -- the fetus is incubated in a fibrous husk which both parents inseminate.
The J'naii shuttle was trapped in a pocket of "null space".
The J'naii shuttle is the same ship as Rasmussen's time machine in "A Matter of Time".
Deanna states that the Federation was founded in 2161.
