Hostile takeover
17 October 2018
An away team consisting of Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner take a shuttle craft down to a very hostile planet with continuing ion storms and are stranded there. Colm Meaney beams down with a machine that will give them a small containment field to keep the effects of the storm at bay.

But when they beam back up Counselor Troi, Chief O'Brien, and Commander Data have been taken over by aliens who say they are the ghosts from a starship that went missing 200 years ago. They take over the nursery where among hostages are Rosalind Chao and the O'Brien baby girl.

Ghosts taking over live bodies quite hostilely. But Counselor Troi who is not behaving as a Star ship Captain should arouses Patrick Stewart's curiosity.

No more will I reveal other than to say these beings who've taken the bodies of the TNG regulars are not who they claim. And some very ancient civilization has found a punishment that beats the death penalty.
