"Skin of Evil" brings the Enterprise crew to Vagra II, the location of a shuttle crash. They must send a rescue team to the surface to find the shuttle's occupants, Deana Troi and Lt. Prieto. They have an unfortunate encounter with the being known as Armus who is keeping them from the shuttle.
Rescue Mission
Vagra II: Rescue shuttle crew crashed and held captive by malevolent being on this planet.
The Feds are here for the good old classic reason: they did it in the show. Klingons and Cardassians are here, well, because I was straining to be random and come up with a new never before seen combination. There are three ways to do this mission not any of them specifically oriented to any of the affiliations. Although I'll admit that the Federation does have the advantage on the first two and it has a lot of Treachery available nowadays too. Diplomacy is to negotiate with Armus for the release of the shuttle crew this is the route Picard went in the episode. The Transporter Skill alternative is one I always wondered why they didn't try in the show: just beam down on the other side of Armus' little pool of "black printers ink." The Treachery would involve overpowering Armus and getting by him using trickery. Again points are average for average requirements. A ho-hum mission for a ho-hum episode. I still can't believe that this was the way they had Tasha die.
