The Federation diverts the <I>U.S.S. Enterprise</I> to the Ramatis star system to collect Riva, a famous mediator who is needed on the planet Solais V, where a bloody conflict has been waged for centuries. When Captain Picard takes an away team to collect Riva he is surprised to learn that the man is deaf; the mediator is able to lip-read, and can communicate through a group of three people called the Chorus, each of which possess a distinctive aspect of Riva's personality, telepathically reading his thoughts and then instantly translating them into spoken words. While en route to the negotiations, Troi and Riva soon find themselves falling in love. Arriving on Solais V Picard and an away team accompany Riva and his Chorus to the peace talks; however, after meeting the two opposing representatives, one of the soldiers suspects a trap - he opens fire and kills the Chorus. Unless a way can be found to persuade Riva to continue with the talks the negotiations will fail - but how can he make himself heard?
