Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
Despite the references they had found to the Sanctum
Sanctorum earlier, they hadn't detected anything unusual that would be
indicative of magic. She remembered that Baffin had visited various
Earths where some kind of magic existed during their journey. She decided to
look over those encounters.

“Why?”
“You're in danger!” Leigh answered.
Clarissa didn't believe them. “What?”

Excerpt from: Lawndale – Town of Adventure
“You won't be graded,” the counsellor said.
“Oh. Okay, then. Let's see... they've been going out for
awhile, and he's upset because other people keep asking her out, and she saying
she can't help it if she's attractive and popular, and besides, nobody ever
said they were going steady, and if he does want to go steady he's got to do a
lot better than movie, burger, back seat, movie, burger, back seat, because
there are plenty of guys with bigger back seats waiting to take her someplace
nice!” She was sure that's what the counsellor wanted to hear.
“Very good, Quinn.!”

Excerpt from: Mariner on the Run
Beckett Mariner wasn’t having a good day. Not that she
had many good days. She had been sent to Starbase 80. The shuttle ride from the
Delos System was horrid. It was hard to believe that the two men were Starfleet
Officers. But she could take that in her stride. She could see that they had
been more burned out by the War than she had been. But the state of the
Starbase itself. It was worse than all the rumors about it, like it hadn’t been
upgraded since it was built nearly a century before. “Is this, really what this
place is like?” she asked in shock.

Excerpt from: A Skywalker’s Journey
Theed had hardly changed over the past 68 years. There
had been some expansion, but it looked much the same. Naboo had escaped the
worst of the Empire.
Chewie disembarked the Falcon first.

Excerpt from: Small Town ISOT
During the five-year mission, the Enterprise crew had
run across aspects of Starfleet he didn’t want to think about. Was Carter
involved in Black Ops missions? ‘I’ll wait and see, I suppose.’ He followed her
and the others to where he had met them.

Excerpt from: An Aquatic Second Contact
“That isn’t a word I would use,” T’Lyn retorted.
“’Intriguing’ would be more appropriate.”
“I suppose you could say that. But I would say
interesting and another Vulcan would say ‘fascinating’…”
T’Lyn rolled her eyes. Tendi’s rambling was, distracting,
at the best of times. “You interrupted my log entry.”
“Oh, sorry. You can continue.”
She pressed resume on the PADD. “The humanoids are
aquatic, resembling the Merfolk of ancient Human myths and legends. They live mostly
in the water, with the various islands given over to what industry cannot be
conducted under the waves. Upon arrival Cerritos will conduct the usual
Second Contact procedures, while Ensign Tendi and I will assist with the
addition of their biological knowledge of their planet, along with their astronomical
knowledge of their system that of the Federation, as a basis point for future
dual surveys.” She paused.
“Log complete.”
“That’s not all we’ll be doing,” Tendi said.
“Certainly not.”
D’Vana Tendi looked out of the window of the conference
room and saw that Cerritos had dropped out of warp and was approaching Theta
Aquarii II. She supposed that she needed to find out the most common local name
for it, before anything else. She was certain she would learn it before too
long.
“We’re being hailed by at least three different stations,
Captain,” Lieutenant Shax reported.
“Find the one the Rhea contacted,” Captain Freeman
ordered.
“Yes, sir,” Shax said. “Wait. There’s a Klingon Bird of Prey
entering the system!”
“What!”
