SummaryEdit

The Enterprise arrives at Starbase 133 for crew rotation, and Doctor Beverly Crusher is excited by the arrival of her friend and mentor Doctor Dalen Quaice. As soon as Dr. Quaice beams aboard, Beverly is there to greet him and walk him to his quarters. Along the way, Beverly expresses her condolences for the recent passing of Patricia Quaice. Then Dalen talks about how as you grow older, you have less and less friends to talk to.

Meanwhile, Wesley Crusher is running an experiment with the warp core. Geordi demands him to stop, so he can get the warp engines online. Beverly arrives to watch the experiment. Wesley begins, and a flash of light occurs. Geordi then tells him that he's going to turn the engines back online. Wesley looks up to speak to his mother, but she is gone.

Beverly then goes to Dr. Quaice's quarters to visit him, but he isn't there. After searching for a few moments, Beverly asks the computer to locate Dr. Quaice. However, it tells her that he is not onboard. Beverly is shocked by this announcement.

Worf then arrives in his quarters and is brought up to speed about Dr Quaice by Beverly. However, Worf hadn't heard that Dr. Quaice was brought onboard. Beverly told him that she thought that he was supposed to be informed. Worf confirms that that is true. She then thanks Worf for agreeing to find him.

Later, Data, Worf, Captain Picard, and Beverly are all in Picard's office discussing Dr Quaice's disappearance. After Data and Worf leave, Picard tells Beverly that he never remembered approving that Dr. Quaice's coming onboard. This surprises her, since she sent the request and got approval. Picard then suggests that they make sure that Dr Quaice had no enemies. They go out onto the bridge, where Data then informs them that they can't find any record. Beverly is shocked by this and tells them that the records are wrong. Worf then tells them no one saw Dr Quaice either. Riker then suggests that they go check the transporter.

Chief O'Brian then tells them that he doesn't remember beaming aboard, despite Beverly's insistence that he was on duty. Riker and Beverly discuss this development on the turbolift to the bridge. Beverly decides to run tests on the Chief to check things out.

Beverly Crusher arrives in Sickbay to run tests on O'brian. He insists that he doesn't remember. She then tries to call Doctor's Hill and Selar, but doesn't get a response. She asks the computer to find them, but to her shock, she find out that they are not onboard at all.

Beverly briefs the Captain that 6 of her staff are missing now along with Dr Quaice. They then learn that Wesley was experimenting with warp bubbles, and that it might be the cause of Dr Quaice's disappearance. Soon, Beverly finds that her entire staff has disappeared and that the crew is down to only 230, which everyone but her finds normal. Picard then has Beverly come into his office.

Picard tries to confort Beverly. She agrees to talk to Deeana Troi. Beverly then persuades Picard to go back to Starbase 133.

Beverly returns to Sickbay to get back to work. She walks over to the supply area to pick up supplies. While she is doing this, flashes of light appear followed by a strange noice. Curious, Beverly turns around to look and her hair is blown in front of her face and her lab coat is also blown around. A vortex then appears in front of Beverly. A vaccuum begins to pull papers and other debris into the vortex. Soon, even Beverly begins to be pulled towards it. Beverly then screams in horror at this. She grabs onto the wall and holds on for her life. Her hair continues to be blown all over her face and she struggles to maintain a grip. She loses one of her hands on the wall and is forced to take hold in a hole in the wall. Soon the vortex disappears. Beverly is left disheaveled and shaken to the core. She wipes the hair away from her face and walks forward. There she stares in shock and disbelief over what she had just gone through.

Later, during a staff meeting, Geordi tells them that there was no trace of the vortex, despite Beverly's protest of how she barely escaped from it. She then learns that the crew is down to 114 people and that Worf is gone as well. After the meeting she catches Deeana and talks to her. After this she looks for Wesley and gets him to help her. However he soon disappears and upon reaching the bridge, discovers that everyone but her and Picard have disappeared. Desperate, Beverly tries to get through to Picard. Eventually, he relents and let her scan him until he disappears. They begins to talk to each other, and after Beverly turns her head for a moment, Picard disappears. Beverly says that she won't forget them.

Beverly then stands up and turns her back on the viewscreen and looks at the bridge. Then a strange noise appears and Beverly turns around. The sides of her hair are pulled forward. Then the vortex from sickbay appears and the vaccuum pulls the helm and op consoles forward. Beverly's hair is blowing all over and she is quickly overpowered and pulled violently across the bridge. Once landing on the floor, Beverly is left dazed as she is forcibly dragged forward. Once she recovered, Beverly screams and tries to grip the floor. Eventually she manages to grip Data's chair. She struggles to maintain her grip. One of her hands is pulled away and the horrified Beverly is forced to gaze into the vortex. In a final desperate attempt, Beverly swings her loose arm across her body and makes her grip hold until the vortex begins to fade. Beverly stares into the vortex as it vanishes. Beverly wipes her hair from her face and climbs into Data's chair with her labcoat falling off of one shoulder.

However we learn that the vortex is the result of Geordi and Wesley trying to retrieve Beverly. We learn that it was she who got trapped in the bubble, then the Traveler arrives to assist them.

Meanwhile, Beverly begins to piece the information together and figures out that she is trapped in the warp bubble. However she soon realizes that the bubble has begun to collapse and the vortex is her only way out. Wesley and the Traveler then begin a final attempt. Beverly takes a turbo lift to try to get to enginneering. As soon as it stops, the collapsing warp bubble consumes it and Beverly begins running for her life. Eventually, she finds the vortex. After some hesistation, she jumps through and fall on the ground on the other side. Then the bubble collapses. She is then informed of the crew number by Data and is relieved by it.
