A series of mysterious malfunctions plague the Enterprise's computer. The source of this high-tech nightmare turns out to be the holodeck, where a trainload of Orient Express passengers has suddenly appeared. These fabricated strangers may well hold the fate of the Enterprise in their hands, as the starship slowly develops a deadly intelligence of its own. Veteran character actor David Huddleston guest stars as the holodeck-generated train conductor. First telecast May 14, 1994, "Emergence" was scripted by Joe Menosky, from a story by Brannon Braga. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
