Velara III is an empty world and yet the housing situation is still a nightmare, with all four of its terraforming residents sharing a single, snug, Velara Base. Dr. Kurt Mendl seems like peak creepy German scientist, and all Arthur and Bjorn wants is to start the metal band of their dreams. The local silicon-based lifeforms have a serious attitude problem, and Luisa never gets any respect. What's up with being a farmer in a society with replicators? How long can a Maron open go? Grab your guitar and follow your dreams, because TNG Season 1 isn't leaving without a fight.
