The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D is trying to recover Counselor Troi, and the Pilot of the disabled shuttlecraft. Tragically, because of the sadistic,and cruel nature of the 'Skin of Evil' Armus, the Enterprises Security Chief Tasha Yar lost her life in a most cruel and dishonorable fashion. Armus just sucked the life out of her. Realizing that sadistic pleasures are all that Armus desires, Picard begins to take a new tack, but almost losing his Number 1, when Armus raises the stakes of the encounter. Riker is released, but Armus is not satisfied. Being that he is literally the 'Skin of Evil' of his civilization, a race of aliens that shed their evil, and sadistic tendencies. Thus Armus was spawned. Aware of this sadistic, and horrifying streak in Armus, and aware that when incensed, Armus was vulnerable to suggestion.

Eventually, the Enterprise prevailed. The shuttlecraft was destroyed from Orbit to ensure that the malevolent Armus could not leave planetside. In addition, Captain Picard established a beacon outpost, warning all vessels away from Vagra III.
