Incoming Diplomatic Transmission from Mariposa — Prime Minister Wilson Granger
A crisp audio-visual transmission that blooms onto the Enterprise main viewscreen: a well-lit portrait of Prime Minister Wilson Granger centered in a formal chamber, voice clear and invitational over a steady data link. Officers freeze, fingers hover over consoles, Worf announces reception, Picard leans forward into the screen while Troi’s expression shifts to wary concern.
