Summary[]

The Enterprise-D discovers a century-old Klingon "lifeboat," with an unusual looking Klingon aboard.

Although this story refers to the events of TNG episode "The Emissary" happening "two years ago" (which would place the story in late 2367), other evidence indicates a date of at least 2369.
