*Captain ’ s log, stardate 15345.8. Our sensors have discovered an unusual energy signature emanating from the surface of an uncharted asteroid in the Delta Quadrant. * 
 
 `` Mr. La Forge, have we scanned the asteroid for life forms?'' 
 
 `` None present, Captain. But I ’ ve pinpointed the source of the energy – it appears to be a small ring-sized object. The radiation levels are off the charts. Whatever it is, I ’ d like to study it further. We could probably power a small starship with an energy source like that. Just imagine-'' 
 
 `` Captain,'' a gruff voice interjected. `` It may be some sort of Romulan weapon. If there are no life forms present, we should take control of it and beam it aboard.'' 
 
 `` Noted, Mr. Worf. But I ’ d like to know where it came from. Let ’ s take a closer look. Assemble an away team and-'' 
 
 `` I would not recommend that, Captain.'' 
 
 Picard turned. `` Explain, Mr. Data.'' 
 
 `` The object appears to be the Ring of Power, an ancient artifact from the planet Middle Earth. It is known to have certain adverse effects on organic life forms.'' 
 
 `` What sort of adverse effects?'' 
 
 `` Essentially a form of radiation poisoning, resulting in severe physical and mental illness. It is not an energy source that we can safely harness. It is also not safe to be left where other species might discover it.'' 
 
 `` I see. Perhaps we should simply destroy it with a photon torpedo.'' 
 
 `` Unfortunately the ring is made of an extremely durable alloy and a photon torpedo would have no effect. However the ring can be melted inside Mount Doom on Middle Earth.'' 
 
 Picard paced the bridge thoughtfully. `` Middle Earth is outside our transporter range.'' 
 
 `` It is, sir. However, since I am an android, my positronic brain is immune to the effects of the radiation. I can take a shuttle and transport the ring to Middle Earth. At full impulse power, the entire trip should only take 11 hours and 33 minutes.'' 
 
 `` Very good, Mr. Data. Make it so.''
