Excerpt from: Changes in Time and Space

The Drahvin soldiers acknowledged the order from the commanding officer and started moving. They immediately began to surround smouldering park, where the TARDIS was standing.

 

 

The Doctor and her companions had not been idle either. They stood around the TARDIS surveying the scene.

Excerpt from: Brittany – Party Time

Brian stuck out his tongue as he got out of the car. Brittany sighed as she drove off.

 

 

Brittany and Daria were in art class. “I’ll be having a party Saturday night,” Brittany said.

 

“Parties aren’t really my thing,” Daria said. “I’ve been fine with making friends with you, Donna and Andrea.

Excerpt from: Q Junior’s Lessons

“They’ll probably break the agreement as soon as they feel Voyager is far enough away.”

 

“That’s why I’ll be bringing some of their neighbours into the agreement,” the Captain added. “Some extra accountability goes a long way.”

 

“Certainly…” Q Junior murmured.

 

“Chakotay tells me you’re bored with the diplomacy lessons.”

 

“I know revision is an effective teaching method, but I’m eager to move on. Especially to the section on accountability.”

 

“Or maybe you can join Neelix and I in the negotiations,” the Captain offered.

 

“Wouldn’t that be a bit quick?” Junior asked.

 

The Captain was about to say more when she was interrupted by Ensign Kim announcing over the comm that the Uj R’baasagbr shuttle was about to dock.

 

 

The Uj R’baasagbr Princess emerged. She looked almost like a typical human of European descent, other than slight ridges on her face that were obviously extensions of the cheekbones.

 

“I’m Elselan Mossezria,” she said by way of introduction. “Princess of the Uj R’baasagbr. Have some of my crew take my luggage.”

Excerpt from: Mysteries of Lawndale 03 – Night of the Coffee House

Meanwhile, Quinn found that Mr. DeMartino was still in the faculty office. “Mr. DeMartino? I’m happy I caught you.”

 

“Ms. Morgendorffer, to what do you owe the pleasure?”

 

“Someone said that you have a book on the history of Lawndale,” Quinn answered.

 

“I do. More than one in fact. It should be here somewhere…” DeMartino got up, dislodging some of the paperwork from his desk.

 

“They also said they are concerned about the increased police presence due to the Coffee House break in.”

 

“With good reason,” the teacher said as he looked through the bookshelf. “Lawndale may seem boring now, but there were racial tensions back in the 60’s, followed by an increase in the White population in the past decade and a half.”

 

“Gentrification, right?” Quinn asked.

 

“Very good, Ms. Morgendorffer, but that is only part of it,” DeMartino explained. “Here it is,” he added, taking a book titled Lawndale in the Post War Years 1945 – 1985 and giving it to Quinn.

Excerpt from: Emily and the Doctor

“That’s the status quo, Doctor,” Kirkman said. “Ever since the Capitol Bombing it’s been one thing after another.”

 

“This isn’t a crisis like you have been experiencing, Mr. President. It’s not your mundane conspiracies, threats of war and disease outbreaks.”
