Lt. Barclay who in HOLLOW PURSUITS was seen to be an introspective, shy crewman with difficulties in dealing with reality. A brief encounter with an alien device turns Barclay into a near-superbeing with confidence in his own superiority and a low regard for his fellow crewman. In the holodeck, Barclay builds a device which enables him to interface with the computer to take control of the Enterprise and hijacking it to an unknown and uncharted part of space.
