As the U.S.S. Enterprise heads for a rendezvous with Deanna Troi, the Councelor 's shuttlecraft suffers a strange malfunction and crashes on the barren world of Vagra II. When Commander Riker, Doctor Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Data and Lieutenant Yar beam down to the surface to rescue Troi they encounter Armus, a malignant, oil-like entity that derives its pleasure from the suffering of others. Having surrounded the crash site with a force-field, thereby preventing the away team from reaching Troi, Armus then kills Yar. Captain Picard beams down to try to convince Armus to release his hostage, but the malicious monster chooses instead to subject the away team to vicious tortures purely for its enjoyment...
