Log Entries:
*Captain's Log, Stardate 45349.1. The Enterprise is on its way to Penthara IV where a type C asteroid has struck an unpopulated continent. The resulting dust cloud could very well create a phenomenon not unlike the nuclear winters of 21st century Earth. Commander La Forge has begun work on a plan that would counteract the devastation.
*Captain's Log, Stardate 45350.3. We have arrived at Penthara IV and can see for ourselves the atmospheric devastation caused by the asteroid impact.
*Captain's Log, supplemental. While Doctor Moseley takes La Forge's plan to the leaders of the colony, I find myself weighing the potential consequences of a more philosophical issue.
*Captain's Log, Stardate 45341.9. Doctor Moseley has met with the colony leaders, who all agree they are willing to take the risk.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Captain Picard: Yes, Professor, I know...what if one of those lives I save down there is a child who grows up to be the next Adolf Hitler or Khan Singh? Every first year philosophy student has been asked that question since the earliest wormholes were discovered.
| Captain Picard: (to Rasmussen) To try or not to try. To take a risk or play it safe. Your arguments have reminded me how precious the right to choose is. And because I've never been one to play it safe, I choose to try.
| Captain Picard: (to Rasmussen) Welcome to the 24th Century.
