Episode propaganda
The Enterprise receives a signal from the Children of Tama, an alien race that has no history of violence, but whose language has been deemed incomprehensible to Humans. Orbiting an uninhabited planet, Picard and the crew hope to establish relations with the Tamarians. But while he and Dathon (Paul Winfield), the Tamarian Captain, make several attempts to communicate over their viewscreens, neither can understand the other. Suddenly Dathon turns to him, armed with two daggers, and both Captains dematerialise and are transported to the surface of the planet below.Persons of interest
