The star ship enterprise was struck with an alien disease and LaForge came down with a deadly brain illness. Crusher designed and replicated a cure in time, except for one problem: the medication couldn't be absorbed through the blood system or it would be neutralized. The pill had to be delivered directly into the brain of the patient. Impossible! as surgery to implant the medicine would cut through the alien organism's membrane surrounding his skull and the toxins could kill him instantly. She met the engineer with the pill and the bad news. He said, "Maybe there's something I can do. Walk me through the problem in detail." "It's too complicated," she said. "And you're not medically trained." The lieutenant held the capsule up to the light thoughtfully, then said, "Don't worry, Doc. I think can warp my head around this."
