Excerpt from: Lower Decks – Halloween
Halloween on the Cerritos. The bar was full of officers dressed in various costumes inspired by Halloween and similar celebrations from all over the Federation and beyond. Provisional Lieutenant Junior Grade T’Lyn entered, dressed one of the crewmembers of the ship that had detected Zefram Cochrane’s flight in the Pheonix.

“You made!” Lt. JG Beckett Mariner said.

“Yes, I have,” T’Lyn said.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“Now, I’m sure you’ve noticed that Quinn has cut and died her hair,” Sandi said.

“So, what, Sandi?” Stacy asked.

“Haven’t you noticed that her shade is similar to both yours and mine?” Sandi asked,

“Not really,” Stacy said. “It is lighter. No one would confuse her for either of us.”

“And the length is similar.”

“So, what?” Quinn asked. “My style is different to yours and Stacy’s.”

“Hmh!” Sandi said. “I move to censure Quinn for not notifying us of such a drastic change.”

“I’m sure you would want to make a change after losing a family member,” Quinn said sadly.

“Be it as it may. I still move to censure you,” Sandi said. She looked at the other two. “All in favor?” She raised her hand.

Neither Stacy, nor Tiffany raised theirs.

“Not carried,” the former said.

“What?”

“You’re going to far,” Stacy said. “Remember that Morgendorffer…”

“I know he died!”

“This is a farce, Sandi! I’m leaving!” Quinn decided.


“Wait!” Sandi said as she realised that she made a big mistake.

“Do you apologise?” Quinn asked.

“Yes. Stacy, remove the censure motion from the minutes.”

“Done!”

“Good,” Quinn said, with a low tone. ‘But I’m still leaving now.”


“So am I,” Stacy said after Quinn had gone.

“As you wish!” Sandi said with annoyance.


Quinn exited the Griffin’s house into the backyard, as she was certain that the others wouldn’t expect her to go that way. Even so, she double checked to make sure that they weren’t looking before webswinging up to the roof. There, she quickly changed into her suit before leaving on her patrol of the area. It would give her time to think about what Sandi had tried to do.


Stacy exited the house into the front yard. She didn’t see Quinn anywhere. “Quinn!” she called out.

She then saw SpiderGirl swing across the street. “SpiderGirl!” she called, but the vigilante didn’t hear.

She went to the street and looked around for Quinn. It seemed that she had disappeared. ‘I guess I’ll have to go home alone,’ she thought.


Having left the Griffin’s, SpiderGirl headed downtown.

Party
“I see,” Dani said.

“So, I'll see if I can talk to them tonight.”


The Engineer and the Enchantress
“The Harri has docked,” Lu reported.

“Back behind the Moon,” Emerson, ordered. “Steady as she goes.”

“Aye, sir,” Andersen said as she input the commands for Iona to take off.

The storm was still an issue, but the ship took off and left the atmosphere without trouble.
