So explain this one to me: allegedly, all the brouhaha with the subspace aliens started when Geordi tried out his funky sensor enhancement. So how come Riker was missing sleep, clearly being abducted for 2-3 days *prior* to Geordi first turning on the magic sensor thingy?

And while we're at it: How do these aliens know so much about humans that they understand that humans sleep for some 8 hours at a stretch, and that that would be the perfect time to abduct them with nobody noticing they're missing?

And how do they know what time people sleep on the Enterprise? Or even what "time" it is on the Enterprise?

And just as a small by-the-way, what on *earth* is accomplished by cutting off someone's arm and then re-attaching it?

No, it's an interesting initial premise, but it's not thought out all that well. Oh well.
