Commander Billups must prove his engineering abilities to an old adversary: his mother, Queen Paolana of the RenaissanceFair planet Hysperia, who wants him to succeed her as monarch and is willing to do anything to make it happen -- including get him laid.

The ''Cerritos'' foils a standard ''Star Trek'' plot: a sentient computer, Agimus, that has taken over its world. Mariner and Boimler, tasked with transporting it back to the Daystrom Institute, are stranded with it on an uninhabited planet. Meanwhile, back on the ''Cerritos'', Lt. Commander Billups must prove his engineering abilities to an old adversary: his mother, Queen Paolana of the RenaissanceFair planet Hysperia, who wants him to succeed her as monarch and is willing to do anything to make it happen -- including get him laid.
