Meanwhile:

- Is trying to flirt with one of the peace keepers by bragging about how many mines he's disarmed. She isn't impressed. He begins a B plot with Data to try and help them speed along a mapping project to confirm they got all the mines, which gives Geordi and excuse to spend time with his crush.

and Are the A plot. Warf starts the episode reminiscing about battle while assisting Miles unloading machinery. Miles is taken aback by Warf's warrior code of ethics (where he brushes off the senselessness of the war by saying honorable warriors died here and we should all be so lucky). Suddenly, they're both ambushed and take prisoner by the IDF (it's a Miles plot, he's gotta be a prisoner sorry).

Act 2: Geordi Data and Crush situation deteriorates. Geordi over handles it and messes something up. There's a 5 minute aside he has alone with Picard where he gives some folksy but off-note akward advise to Geordi that makes it into a clip RLM uses on rotation.

Miles and Warf have a bad time. Warf learns about the human cost of conflict but will still get up to the same shit next episode.

Idk ends because geordi's map finds where they are. His crush is impressed... with Data. Womp womp.

But at what cost?

Lockheed Martin and Boeing and Raytheon licking their lips cause they get to sell more mines now

Perhaps the 18,000 mines and 2 million square meters were from many mine clearing missions there, of which these two fields are just a small part
