Bok's Ship

Daimon Bok's starship orbits three hundred billion kilometers from the Enterprise. Bok transmits a pre-recorded message from its confines, his face filling the viewscreen as he reveals Jason Vigo bound in heavy chains, a knife pressed to the captive's throat. The threat marks the anniversary of Bok's son's death at Picard's hands, driving Picard to order maximum warp pursuit and demand Data attempt a perilous subspace transport to board the vessel directly.
