Excerpt from: Changes in Time and Space (Revision 2.0)

“No! They wouldn't do that!” Kellira exclaimed. “They wouldn't believe that the Doctor had managed to take the Bridge.”

 

Suddenly, the access hatch that the Doctor and her companions had used to enter the bridge slammed shut!

 

“There is only one way out of this bridge now,” Sigrun said. Then a voice rasped over the bridge comm system…

Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

Commanders Log, Day 1028. Baffin is now enroute to Earth. The logs indicate that the remaining crew didn't head to Earth upon entering this universe so we don't know what to expect. Crewman Aailah Alera-Kalrea has begun to adapt to life aboard the ship. It's going to be an interesting voyage.

 

Alpha got up from the Command Chair and paused the Klingon opera. She hoped Aialah would be able to recover on the ship and that Nina didn't make a big mistake.

The Baffin entered into orbit over the far side of the Moon. Lieutenant Daniela Hernandez sighed in relief. The ship would not have been detected by anyone on Earth. The approach from warp was from behind the Moon. She knew that observing a mid to late 20th Century Earth wouldn't help them in their dilemma, but the crew had to do something.

“So far, Earth seems to be identical. We would have do a deeper scan,” Hernandez reported.

“Then you know what to do.”

 

“Aye commander.”

 

 

Half an hour later. “It's not identical. There many of the suburban layouts are different in the United Kingdom and the rest of the Commonwealth. Some settlements in the United States are in slightly different locations.”

Excerpt from: Daria – Strange Days in Lawndale

Daria came down the stairs to see something strange on the TV. There was a news report from the Central Square in downtown Lawndale. “A flying saucer?” Daria asked incredulously.
