Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative. In this series we will review the new television show Picard which is currently streaming on CBS. Today, Episode 8, Broken Pieces. SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth. Episode 8, Broken Pieces. A flashback shows Narissa's initiation into the Zhat Vash on a planet with eight suns: she experiences the Admonition, a warning of the danger of synthetic life left behind by a long-extinct race. Most are driven mad by the knowledge, but Narissa retains her sanity. Meeting Soji stirs up painful memories in Rios: he eventually tells Raffi that Soji resembles one of two beings whom Rios's former commanding offer, Captain Vandermeer, was ordered to execute by Starfleet Security; Vandermeer committed suicide and Rios was forced to cover up the event. Raffi realizes that the two were synthetics from Bruce Maddox's planet. Jurati awakens and admits that she murdered Maddox, explaining the vision Oh gave her; she promises never to harm Soji. Raffi explains her deduction that the Zhat Vash were behind the synth attack on Mars. Soji plots a course for her home planet; La Sirena is followed by Narek's ship. On the Artifact, Seven arrives to rescue Elnor; she interfaces with the Queen's cell to use the Borg drones aboard the cube to try to retake control, but Narissa has most of the drones jettisoned into space and sends a fleet to Soji's planet. Highlights, speculations and questions include:
Since the Borg collective is limited to this Cube, could a new Borg culture be created from the Ex-B’s?
Is there a potential Borg-synth alliance brewing? What will it mean for humanity?
How was 7/9 able to connect and more importantly disconnect from the collective?
What work does Annika have left?
How cool was Raffi’s interview of the five holographic helpers?
Was Oh behind Rios’ being busted out of Star Fleet?
Would you forgive Jurati so easily for murder? Was it temporary insanity?
Is Star Fleet dispatching the fleet to DS 12 for the right reasons?

A flashback reveals that Commodore Oh mind-melded with Jurati to convince her of the danger of synthetic life, and had her ingest a tracking device. Picard takes Soji to William Riker and Deanna Troi's home on the planet Nepenthe. They offer Picard sanctuary, and their daughter Kestra tries to befriend Soji. Soji learns that she's an android, and has trouble trusting anyone after Narek's betrayal; but she tells them about her dream, and Kestra is able to learn the planet's location from a family friend. Kestra convinces Soji to trust Picard. Meanwhile, Narissa kills Hugh and the other ex-Borg; before dying, Hugh tells Elnor that he needs a former Borg to activate the Queen's cell and retake control of the Artifact. Elnor uses an SOS beacon Seven left Picard to call for help. La Sirena's crew tries to get to Nepenthe but are being chased by Narek, who is following the tracker in Jurati. Feeling guilty, Jurati uses a neurotoxin to put herself in a coma and disable the tracker. La Sirena eventually reaches Nepenthe and picks up Picard and Soji. Highlights, speculations and questions include: 1. Did Hugh have to die? 2. What did you feel during the reunion of Riker, Troi and Picard? 3. What are some of the cookies in this show? 4. Does Kestra instruct us on how to deal with grief? 5. Is Oh a Vulcan?

SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth. Episode 6, The Impossible Box. Soji is experiencing a recurring dream of her childhood. Narek believes that exploring her dream will reveal the location of her homeworld. Aboard La Sirena, Jurati tells Picard Maddox died as a result of his injuries on Freecloud. Raffi persuades a Starfleet contact to issue Picard temporary diplomatic credentials, so the Romulans will let him visit the Artifact and meet with Hugh. Narek continues sowing seeds of doubt with Soji about her identity; she scans her belongings and is shaken to find that none of them are older than 37 months. Narek helps her meditate to explore her dream, while his sister is secretly monitoring the room. In the dream, Soji sees herself as a doll; when she looks up, she sees two red moons and a stormy sky. That is enough for Narek and his sister to start looking for her planet. Narek tries to kill Soji, but she escapes and meets Picard and Hugh. Hugh takes Picard and Soji to an emergency long-distance transportation device, allowing them to escape the Artifact. Romulan guards try to stop them, but Elnor appears and kills them, before staying behind with Hugh to hold off the pursuers. Highlights, speculations and questions include:

In a flashback, Seven of Nine mercy-kills Icheb, a fellow former Borg drone saved by Voyager, after his Borg implants have been ripped out by the black-marketeer Bjayzl. In the present, La Sirena arrives at Freecloud, where Raffi discovers that Maddox is being held prisoner by Bjayzl, who intends to sell him to the Tal Shiar. Picard's crew plan to recover Maddox by staging a prisoner exchange, with Seven (and her Borg implants) as the bait. When Bjayzl recognizes Seven, Seven drops the charade and reveals her true intention: to kill Bjayzl to avenge Icheb. Picard persuades Seven to relent, and Maddox is safely recovered and beamed to La Sirena. Afterward, Seven returns to Freecloud and kills Bjayzl without Picard's knowledge. In sickbay, Maddox tells Picard what he knows about Soji and Dahj, explaining that he sent them to Earth and the Artifact in order to discover the true motivation behind the synthetics ban. After Picard leaves them alone, Jurati tearfully murders Maddox, saying "If you'd seen what I saw". Meanwhile, Raffi tries to reconnect with her estranged son Gabriel, who is married to and expecting a child with a Romulan woman but is rebuffed and returns to La Sirena. Highlights, speculations and questions include:

In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative. In this series we will review the new television show Picardwhich is currently streaming on CBS. In this episode we consider Episode 4-Absolute Candor. SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth. Episode 4, Absolute Candor. Picard asked Rios to make a detour to the planet Vashti, where he helped relocate Romulan refugees before the attack on Mars. He calls on the Qowat Milat, Romulan warrior nuns who took in a boy named Elnor, whom Picard grew close to. Picard asks Elnor, now an adult, to join him on his quest; Elnor initially refuses but changes his mind when Picard is attacked by Romulans who resent Starfleet abandoning the evacuation effort. Picard and Elnor beam up to La Sirena, where Rios and Raffi are fighting a battle with a local warlord. A strange ship helps La Sirena win the battle but is damaged in the process, forcing the pilot, former Borg drone Seven of Nine, to be beamed over to La Sirena. Meanwhile, aboard the Borg cube, Soji is trying to find out more about the Romulan ship that was assimilated by that cube and about "the Destroyer". Narek offers to get her information on the ship, but they have a falling out when he expresses doubt about her past. Rizzo tells Narek that he has a week to get the location of other synthetics from Soji before she switches to her own methods. Highlights, speculations and questions include:
Where did Rios garner his piloting skills?
Why did Picard drop his distaste of children for Elnor?
Should Picard still be apologizing for Star Fleet’s betrayal of the Romulans?
Did Picard basically challenge all Romulans by going into the Bar for ‘Romulans Only’?
Is Soji finally seeing through Narek?
How cool is it to see 7/9?

Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty. In this series we will review the new television show Picard which is currently streaming on CBS. SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth. Episode 3, The End is the Beginning. A flashback reveals how, in the aftermath of the synth attack on Mars, Picard demanded that Starfleet either agree to his evacuation plan or accept his resignation. They chose the latter; his executive officer Raffi, who suspected Romulan involvement in the attack, was fired. In the present, Picard asks Raffi for help; she throws him out, but recommends a pilot for his mission, Chris Rios. Meanwhile, aboard the Borg cube, Director Hugh, a former Borg drone, takes Soji to see a group of Romulan former drones. One of the reclaimed Romulans declares Soji to be "the destroyer" and tries to kill herself; Soji uses her enhanced speed to stop her. Narek's sister warns him not to get emotionally attached to Soji. Picard, Laris, and Zhaban are attacked by Zhat Vash operatives. They kill all but one, who also calls Soji "the destroyer" under interrogation, before dissolving in a pool of acid. Dr. Jurati is approached by Commodore Oh, who demands to know what was said during Jurati's meeting with Picard. Jurati decides to join Picard on his journey. They board Rios' ship, La Sirena, and find Raffi already there. She directs them to Freecloud, where she believes Bruce Maddox is located. Highlights, speculations and questions include:
How did Picard get his nickname?
This episode appears to be the end of the character development arc.
Why did Picard leave Raffi to wallow in self-pity for 14 years?
Why did Raffi wallow for so long?
Why are the reclaimed Romulans such outcasts?
Is Dr. Jurati a plant?

Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty. In this series we will review the new television show Picard which is currently streaming on CBS. SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth. Episode 2, Maps and Legends. A flashback shows a normal day on Mars Utopia Planitia Shipyards followed by the deadly attack on Mars 14 years ago by the synthetics. Following Dahj's death, Picard seeks to track her twin Soji down. With the help of Laris, he investigates Dahj's apartment and finds the place completely scrubbed. Laris suggests that the assassins may have been part of the Zhat Vash, an organization even more secretive than the Tal Shiar that holds a deep-rooted hatred of synthetics. At the Romulan reclamation site, a relationship between Soji and Narek is flourishing. Picard appeals to Starfleet for a ship but is denied by Admiral Kirsten Clancy. Picard attempts to assemble his own crew, inviting Agnes Jurati and the estranged Raffi Musiker. Meanwhile, Clancy informs Commodore Oh of Picard's request and asks her to look into it. Oh notifies the (secretly Romulan) Lt. Rizzo to have her undercover operative "stay on mission". Via holo-communicator, Rizzo speaks to Narek, her operative and brother. Rizzo warns Narek that if he does not persuade Soji to reveal the location of other synthetics, she would be forced to take more extreme measures. Highlights include:
Is Picard mentally fit to go into space?
How did the Romulans infiltrate Star Fleet leadership?
Does Picard think the Romulans have breached Star Fleet security?
What about the tech?
What are the ethics around the Borg reclamation project?
What was the former relationship between Picard and Raffi?

Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty. In this series we will review the new television show Picard which is currently streaming on CBS. SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth. Episode 1, Remembrance begins with former Admiral Jean-Luc Picard in retirement tending to his vineyards on his family’s ancestral home in in La Barre, France. Picard has resigned his commission from Starfleet in protest of their failure to save the lives of Romulan citizens after the Romulan sun went supernova. Star Fleet made this decision, in no small part, because of an attack on the Confederated Martian Colonies and the Utopia Planitia Shipyards by synthetics. These attacks led to Star Fleet banning their existence. In Greater Boston, Dahj is enjoying an evening with her boyfriend, when Romulan assassins transport into her apartment. They kill him, but before they can kill her, something activates in Dahj and she kills the assassins. She then has visions of Picard and seeks him out after seeing him being interviewed on the Federation News Network. Dahj finds sanctuary in La Barre but runs away after only night’s stay out of fear of bringing harm to Picard. Picard goes to the Starfleet Archives in San Francisco and discovers a painting Data made thirty years previous entitled "Daughter", bearing a female figure resembling Dahj. Dahj tracks Picard down and reunites with him, but it proves to be a brief reunion. Romulan assassins beam to their location and kill her. Picard then goes to the Daystrom Institute in Okinawa and meets with Dr. Agnes Jurati, who reveals Dahj may be Data's daughter through an experimental procedure known as fractal neuronic cloning. This entails creating an android with an organic body but inserting a positronic brain. More significantly for the storyline, this process results in twins being created. The episode ends in a Romulan reclamation site where a Romulan named Narek meets with Soji Asher, Dahj's twin. Most stunningly, the reclamation site is a partially constructed Borg Cube. Highlights include:
Patrick Stewart is now 79. Can you have a senior action hero?
Picard retired from Star Fleet because “it was no longer Star Fleet. What happened?
Is the Prime Directive simply the “1st Suggestion”?
What are the ethics around AI creation, or as Picard calls them ‘synthetics’?
Even in the 23rd Century, organizational culture is critical.

Welcome to the Science of Star Trek, a podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series in the summer podcast special series Trekking Through Compliance.In this series I am joined by Astrophysicist and Healthcare Futurist Ben Locwin. In this podcast we consider the TOS episode Journey to Babel as a starting point for the consideration of the medicine portrayed in the Original Series. The Enterprise transports ambassadors to a conference to discuss the admission of Corridon, a star system composed of many mutually combative races, to the Federation. Corridon contains a nearly unlimited supply of dilithium crystals, but its small population and lack of strong government has allowed illegal mining operations by outsiders seeking to exploit its natural resources. To Kirk's surprise, Sarek the 102.437-year-old ambassador from Vulcan and his his wife Amanda, who is human, are Spock's parents. Sarek reveals that he has had three previous Vulcan heart attacks and has been taking Bengacydrine to combat it. He requires an open-heart operation, but the ship's stores do not have a sufficient supply of blood, especially of Sarek's rare Vulcan T negative blood. Despite the fact that Spock's blood is a mixture of human and Vulcan factors, he provides a blood transfusion to Sarek after McCoy uses an experimental stimulant to increase the rate of blood production. The Enterprise is then attacked by alien ship while Sarek and Spock are on the operating table, endangering both their lives. Spock, who is recovering from the operation, surmises that the perpetrators were from Orion, since Orions are known to have been smuggling dilithium from Corridon and are anxious to prevent interference. Highlights include: 1. Why is the TriCorder such a significant piece of medical technology, even up to today?2. What are the diagnostic aspects of the TriCorder?3.

Welcome to the Science of Star Trek, a podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series in the summer podcast special series Trekking Through Compliance.In this series I am joined by Astrophysicist and Healthcare Futurist Ben Locwin. In this podcast we consider the TOS episode Tomorrow is Yesterday as a starting point for the consideration of the science around black holes, white holes, and wormholes. In this episode, USS Enterprise is thrown back in time to Earth during the 1960s by the effects of a high-gravity "black star". The Enterprise ends up in Earth's upper atmosphere and is picked up as a UFO on military radar. Spock and Chief Engineer Scott inform Kirk of a possible escape method by slingshotting around the Sun to break away and return to their time. The maneuver is risky, since even a small miscalculation could destroy the ship, or make them miss their own era. Kirk okays the maneuver, and time on board the Enterprise moves backwards. The Enterprise is then successfully returned to the 23rd century. Highlights include:Is a black star the same thing as a black hole?How does a white star become a black star?What is the Quality Exclusion Principle and how does it apply?What is the Chronology Protection and how does it work?

Welcome to the Science of Star Trek, a podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series in the summer podcast special series Trekking Through Compliance.In this series I am joined by Astrophysicist and Healthcare Futurist Ben Locwin. In this podcast we consider the TOS episode The Naked Time as a starting point for the consideration of the science around the warp drive. A landing party from the Enterprise beams aboard Psi 2000, an ancient planet about to break up. They find all six of the crew manning the station dead. Crewman Joey unwisely removes his gloves is contaminated by a red liquid. As Psi 2000 shows a shift in magnetic field and mass, the Enterprise begins a close orbit requiring constant vigilance. Unfortunately, an infected Lt. O’Reilly has turned off the warp engines. To restart the warp engines, matter and antimatter must be mixed in a controlled implosion. However, after mixing matter and antimatter at a colder than recommended temperature according to an untested intermix formula, the Enterprise is thrown into a time warp which causes the chronometer to run backwards. This allows the Enterprise to escape the breakup of the planet, returning it 71 hours into the past and therefore before any of the episode's events took place. Highlights include: 1. Why must you suspend your disbelief for this episode? 2. How would a warp drive work in practice? 3. Why does E=MC²control this issue?4. What is antimatter?5.

Welcome to the Science of Star Trek, a podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series in the summer podcast special series Trekking Through Compliance.In this series I am joined by Astrophysicist and Healthcare Futurist Ben Locwin. In this podcast, we consider the TOS episode Where No Man Has Gone Before as a starting point for the consideration of the science around the phaser. The Federation starship Enterprise is on an exploratory mission to leave the galaxy. At the edge of the galaxy, the ship it encounters a strange barrier which damages the ship's systems and warp drive, forcing a retreat. At the same time, nine crew members are killed and both helmsman Gary Mitchell and ship's psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Dehner are knocked unconscious by the barrier's effect. When he awakens, Mitchell's eyes glow silver, and he begins to display remarkable psychic powers. Alarmed that Mitchell may take over the Enterprise, Kirk decides to maroon him at an unmanned lithium-cracking facility on the remote planet of Delta Vega. Once there, the landing party tries to confine Mitchell, but his powers have become too great. Kirk follows with a phaser rifle, the only time in the Original Series it was seen. Kirk uses the phaser rifle to create a rockslide, killing Mitchell.

Welcome to the premier of the Science of Star Trek, a podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series in the summer podcast special series Trekking Through Compliance.In this series I am joined by Astrophysicist and Healthcare Futurist Ben Locwin. In this podcast we consider the TOS episode Mirror Mirror as a starting point for the consideration of the science around the transporter. In this episode, a landing party Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura beams back up to the Enterprise. Interference from an ion storm, however, causes them to be transported into a parallel universe and a mirror image Enterprise. Now aboard the Imperial Starship Enterprise, the landing party discovers crew members who are mirror images of themselves and belong to an evil Federation known as the Empire. Their first experience is the torture of transporter operator Mr. Kyle with an agonizer for his alleged failure to beam the landing party up quickly enough. Immediately, Kirk realizes that a mirror image landing party must have been beamed aboard the real U.S.S. Enterprise. Kirk, Uhura, McCoy, and Scotty impersonate their mirror image counterparts while finding a way to return to their universe. When Kirk and the party return, they find that their Empire counterparts were immediately recognized and put in detention. The Enterprise's crew attributes this to the fact that it is easier for logical men to appear barbarous than for barbarous men to appear civilized.

Welcome to Trekking Through Compliance, the latest offering from the Compliance Podcast Network. In this podcast series I will explore compliance through the lens of Star Trek-The Original Series in a 79-episode offering. Each podcast will review the episode creative team, story synopsis and three key lessons learned on compliance, leadership and governance. If you love Star Trek as I do, this is the podcast series for you. I will use two key resources for each offering: (1) Eric's Excruciatingly Detailed Star Trek (TOS) Plot Summaries, which has plot summaries for every episode, and (2) MissionLogPodcast.com, a Rod Roddenberry podcast where Ken Ray and John Champion are doing a 10+ year exploration of every episode of every Star Trek television show and movie. Please note that I will use the order of release in this podcast series so the first episode will be the premier TV show on September 10, 1966 The Man Trap. This means that both pilots will appear later in the series. Also, the TV premiers are not on the same schedule as the production schedule. So, listen over the next 79 episodes, revisit one of television’s great achievements and learn how you can use Star Trek to improve your corporate compliance program, as well as yourself as a compliance professional. We are going to have some fun. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
