Excerpt from: Daria – Brittany

“Another thing,” Donna said, as she picked up another carrot stick. “Do you want Quinn to come?”

 

“If you want to be party to another humiliation, then yes,” Daria answered.

 

“How much of a humiliation?” Andrea asked.

 

“Enough for her to stop denying that I’m her sister,” Daria answered.

 

Donna thought about that. It seemed that it would have the opposite effect, that it would reinforce Quinn’s behaviour rather than cause it to stop. “So Quinn’s coming,” she asked Brittany.

 

“She’s coming,” Brittany said.

 

“So, what is Andrea doing?” Daria asked.

“I see,” Daria said.

 

Donna smiled. ‘Another way Lawndale has surprised her.’

Excerpt from: Horrors of the Delta Quadrant

“Such planets should be easy to find.”

 

“But there might be opposition to this plan?”

 

“That doesn’t surprise me,” the Captain sighed.

 

“We may need you to come aboard,” Chakotay said.

 

“I trust you, Chakotay. Keep me informed,” Janeway out. Voyager shuddered as the ion storm increased in intensity. She looked to Ensign Kim.

 

“Radiation levels are increasing above background levels. Rather slowly, but it’s happening. As for the storm, we can stay here for two hours at the most.”

 

“Understood,” Janeway said as she sat back in her chair.

 

 

The station shook again.
