Computer Virus

Story: Contagion
Written By: Steve Gerber & Beth Woods
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1989

The Enterprise gets a computer virus. It sounds really dumb, but it is actually a kind of good episode.
They end up in the Neutral Zone, trying to answer a distress call of the Enterprise’s sister ship: The Yamato. But the moments after meeting up with the ship it explodes, killing all inside. Before the explosion, the Captain claimed it was a flaw in the design of the ship. But after the explosion it soon becomes apparent that something is in the Enterprise as well, and shit is breaking down, and people are getting hurt…how long until they explode?

A Romulan ship in the Neutral zone also seems to be suffering from the same problem, and they obviously want to blame the Enterprise…and it makes for an interesting episode.
