__NOTOC__ "Bloodlines" the 174th episode of the science fiction television series ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''. The 22nd episode of the seventh season. ==Plot== The episode begins with Bok (a former Ferengi DaiMon whose son was killed in a battle with the USS ''Stargazer'', then commanded by Picard) announcing his intention to kill Picard's son in revenge. Picard, who is not aware of having a son, eventually locates Jason Vigo, the son of a woman named Miranda Vigo, with whom Picard had had a past relationship. The results of a DNA-test confirm that Jason is indeed Picard's son, but Picard's attempts to bond with Jason prove difficult, and he is dismayed to discover that Jason has a criminal record, having been convicted of petty theft and trespassing. Meanwhile, Bok beams to the Enterprise twice (using subspace transport technology) to repeat his threats, and Jason suffers attacks from an unknown disease. Finally, Bok beams Jason off the Enterprise and onto his own ship. LaForge determines that the transport is occurring via a small transport platform, and that research into subspace transporter technology was abandoned by the Federation because of its extreme unreliability and high energy requirements. Picard then beams to Bok's ship via the Ferengi's own subspace transporter, where he confronts Bok and three other Ferengi and reveals that Doctor Crusher has discovered that Jason Vigo is ''not'', in fact, Picard's son. Bok had resequenced Jason's DNA so that Picard would know how it felt to lose a son, but Bok's technique was flawed, and the deception was exposed when Crusher determined that Jason's disease was normally inherited, yet neither his mother nor Picard had it. Realizing that there was no profit to be earned from Bok's revenge scheme, the three other Ferengi then disarm Bok and release Jason. Later, in the transporter room, Picard finally bonds with his 'son' by presenting him with a Gorlan prayer stick, a rare artifact that Picard had traded a valuable bottle of Saurian brandy to obtain. Jason is sincerely touched by Picard's generosity, suggesting that should Picard be in the area, he should look Jason up. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bloodlines (Star Trek: The Next Generation)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
