Welcome to HangTrek. This is a Star Trek-themed word game for the Fediverse.
The thing binding the clues together last round: They were all episode titles from Season 3 of TNG. I'm going to skip theming them now as it's a fair amount of work and I'm not sure anyone actually notices.

The host puts up something like this, with blanks to be filled in, and includes a poll with four letters. The winning letter gets filled in, but only if it actually appears in the puzzle. At least one of the poll options must show up in the puzzle, and this process repeats until someone guesses the answer.
If you make a guess, please do it with a Content Warning (CW) so as to not spoil it for other folks still working on the puzzle, as an incorrect guess might still be an extra clue. The first person to guess correctly gets the option to run the next one, if they like, or to nominate someone else.
