Stardate 42193.6: The Enterprise is trapped in a mysterious void

En route to the Morgana Quadrant, the Enterprise suddenly finds itself inside a black void without form or dimension — a void that is unending and inescapable, no matter which direction the ship turns. A sister ship, the Yamato, appears in the void, and Riker and Worf beam aboard to investigate, only to learn the ship is part of the trap, and they find themselves in an illogical maze. Finally, the presence behind the void appears: Nagilum, an entity who wants to study Humans' reaction to death.

The entity, who appears on screen only as a vaguely humanoid face, announces that he will use anywhere from one-third to one-half of the crew for his experiments. After much consideration, Picard regretfully begins the self-destruct sequence with Riker, and later outwits images of Troi and Data sent by the alien to argue against the move. With just two seconds to spare, the entity suddenly frees the ship, saying he has learned enough about Human nature by watching the crew's preparation for death. A relieved Picard tells Nagilum that they do have one trait in common: curiousity.
