Excerpt from: An Aquatic Second Contact
“Why?” Freeman asked.

“I would be able to advise him better than here on the station or on the Cerritos.”

“Good point,” Freeman responded. “Then you can. You are assigned to liaise with the Klingons on this mission. Obey Captain Ma’ah’s orders!”

“I will obey them as if they were from you, Captain,” Mariner said.

“Are you sure, Captain?” Ransom asked.

“Yes,” Freeman answered.

“Cool,” Mariner said.

“But first, get back to the Cerritos and change back to a usual uniform,” Freeman ordered.

Excerpt from: The Messed Up Magazine Girls
Ron arrived outside the Possible house to find Kel waiting for Kim outside. “Huh?”

“Oh, I’m here for Kim,” Kel said.

“Oh, you’re Kel?” Ron asked. He thought she’d be… younger.

“That’s me. Kel as in Kel!”

The door opened and Kim emerged. “Hey, Ron,” she said in her usual tone. She then lowered her voice a little. “Kel.”

“Hi, girlfriend. I am, like, beyond psyched. This is going to be too much fun. Are you just so giddy with this?”

“Giddy?” Ron asked. “I wouldn’t want to be giddy! I mean I do get giddy sometimes on our missions, but not on purpose!”

“Could you tell me about some of these missions?” Kel asked.

Kim sighed. “No big!”


The only indication that anything was out of the ordinary at Middleton High School was that the board said Secret Visitor Today. That and the media circus waiting outside.

“Oh, no -- do you think all those people are there to see me?” Kel asked.

“I’m sure Barkin said that it would be kept secret,” Kim said.

“I wouldn’t trust him,” Ron said.

“Now, Ron. Just because you think he has it in for you,” Kim said.

“He does!” Ron objected.

A reporter than came up to them. “Kel! Rose Megata, Channel 8 news. Mind if we follow you around for a while?”

“I'm sorry, but today I'm just a regular Middleton High student. I don't know how you found out about this, but please, no cameras.”

“But your office called to say you'd be here!” Megata said.

“Darn it! They must have misunderstood my "no publicity" edict. That is so wack! I'm sure you're more interested in my student escort, Kim.”

“But we have covered plenty of her battles against the Seniors and DNAmy. She’s old hat,” Megata said. She then turned to Kim off camera. “No offense.”

“None taken,” Kim said,

“Just the Seniors and DNAmy?” Ron asked. “What about Monkeyfist?”

Kim shrugged. “Just the examples she could think of,” she said.

Megata turned back to Kel. “How about a few words about your impression of Middleton so far?”

“Middleton is rocking!”

Excerpt from: Mystery in Polonia
“Then we keep looking?” Turlough asked.

“Yes,” the Doctor answered.

“Let’s go then. Maybe something more recent,” Tegan suggested.

“Certainly,” the Doctor said.

Excerpt from: Voyager and the Convergence
“Aye,” Paris responded.


Voyager slowed, but it wasn't enough...


In Astrometics, Seven's eyes widened as she noticed that Voyager was going to graze a convergence area very soon. “Astrometrics to the Bridge. Drop out of warp now!”

“Seven?” Janeway asked.

“Now!”


“Now!” Seven said.

“Captain?” Tom asked as he prepared to execute the command.

“Do as she...” the Captain began. But they ran out of time. The warp field, and then the extreme Starboard side of Decks 7 and 8 in the Saucer Section, along with the starboard nacelle, clipped into the convergence area. The ship shuddered.
