In this Star Trek: The Next Generation adventure, Geordi La Forge, Data, and Worf uncover an archaeological mystery on an artificial planet—only to become suspects in terrorist attacks that could awaken an ancient doomsday weapon.

The crew of the Enterprise journeys to Kirlos, an artificial world built by a mysterious long-dead race called the Ariantu. Kirlos is now home to many races from both the Federation and the K'vin Hegemony, who have enjoyed years of peaceful coexistence and profitable trade. The planet also holds a wealth of undiscovered archaeological treasures, which the Enterprise and its crew are dispatched to help uncover.

Sent to the surface to assist an archaeological team, Geordi La Forge, Data, and Worf soon find themselves cut off from the Enterprise—and the prime suspects in a series of terrorist attacks. The three Enterprise crewmen are imprisoned, relations between the K'vin and the Federation begin to crumble, and Kirlos' ancient underground machinery awakens from centuries-long dormancy, primed to release the most powerful destructive force ever known.
