Star Trek The Next Generation The Gift: A Star Trek SI

Honestly, if they knew what was going on they could probably just have sent in a drone designed to impart some movement on the cruiser to push it out of the kill zone.

Drones isn't something Starfleet does, because that would be the smart thing to do and would probably violate a secret pact the Federation has with some lovecraftian horrors that require constant human sacrifices in exchange for plot armor.

Yes but this would have robbed me of ordering photon torpedoes of the first time! This was the whole point of me even acknowledging this episode---as well as to butterfly out the Leah Brahams hologram.

Geordi is on a completely different personal path now.

This is correct. SI Adam will be recommending Drones though after a certain incident happens. I'm sure there's some kind of current treaty that prevents them from using them in universe....

Lets be honest, the Federation likes to shoot themselves in the foot so much there's probably a treaty forbidding them from shitting on Mondays.

This is correct as well. Monday's and Tuesdays really!

Author's Note: This is going to disappoint all of you, but I found this neccessary to do. I promise though everything has a pay off eventually that happens. This also was a REALLY short chapter on purpose. We're about to go on a bit of an arc next.

Selar and I decide to break up. It is a logical decision. We're just not that compatible. Clearly there was something there, but sometimes attraction and passion alone are not enough. We decide to remain friends. I did have to explain to the director of the Astral V Annex why we weren't towing in a vintage Promellion battlecruiser, but she was more than understanding about it. We end up staying a couple of days at the ship museum there, which is a whole lot of fun. While leaving Transporter Room 2 I accidently bump into someone....and after steadying ourselves I see who it is.

"Lieutenant Henshaw! My apologies!"

"Mr. Young...isn't it?"

"Aye sir."

"It's okay. Things happen, everyone coming and going back and forth from the museum, things like this are bound to happen."

I hand her over her PADD and she thanks me.

"I am off duty currently, was actually just heading to Ten Forward, you wouldn't care to join me for a drink would you?" Henshaw asks

"Sure I'd love to."

Something new has possibly begun.
