Summary

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Violations," the Ullians who are visiting the Enterprise have a unique talent for helping people retrieve lost memories. When that power is exploited, though, it's a dangerous and invasive procedure that leaves Deanna Troi, Dr. Crusher and Commander Riker in comas. Who is to blame for the psychic assault?
