+ | The story begins with the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|''Enterprise''-D]] entering orbit around Raimon. This is a [[planet]] where the people have an odd ritual concerning [[death]], one where they hold a celebration before death, with the dying person as the guest of honor. [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard]] has been called by name to Raimon for the death celebration of the PriMarch of Raimon, Sarlis Gaspadral. Because of this, the Captain decides to lead the diplomatic contingent to the planet, despite the misgivings of [[Commander]] [[William T. Riker]]. Picard reminds Riker that not only has he been called, and therefore it would be an insult to send someone else, but that he also has experience with the Raimonians, as he attended the death celebration for the last PriMarch. They agree that Captain Picard will go, and Commander Riker will accompany him, so as to "get a taste" of Raimonian politics, and to re-assure him of the Captain's safety. |
− | In a holographic wrestling room, [[Lieutenant]] [[Geordi La Forge]] and James McRobb watch as [[Lieutenant]] [[Worf]] is locked fighting the skeletal opponent from the [[Klingon calisthenics program]]. McRobb is very impressed by Worf's performance, and laments the fact that he feels he could not face such an opponent, hologram or not. McRobb wishes he could, for once, take action with his body rather than just his mind. La Forge reminds him that he has a mind others would give anything to have. |

He offers to take [[Doctor|Dr.]] [[Katherine Pulaski]] down to the surface as part of the diplomatic contingent, but she kindly declines, reminding the Captain about how she does not like to use the [[transporter]] for anything. Riker suggests that Picard will be looking forward to seeing the PriMarch again, and while Picard agrees, he admits that they were not exactly "friends". |
