After a confrontation with the Ferengi the Portal, guardian of the T'kon Empire, materializes before both away teams inquiring, "Who will meet the challenge?" Portal, disenchanted with the Ferengi's barbaric and warlike responses to his inquisition, is intrigued by Commander Riker's wisdom. Once Riker passes several of Portal's intellectual tests, power is again restored to the respective starships.
