“No objections to that, but but I'm puzzled over you bringing a Betazoid to this. If her purpose, sir, is to probe my thoughts”

“I can sense only strong emotions, Groppler. I am only half Betazoid. My father was human.”

Star Trek: A New Generation – Strategies
The Calypso was being chased. With the Enterprise still dead in space, they had been sent out to get help. However, they now had a Romulan scout ship on their tail.

“Why the hell are they after us?” Commander William Riker asked for the second time in as many minutes.

“I have no idea, sir,” Worf answered.

Riker sent the Calypso into a barrel roll. But the Romulan weapons fire continued to hit the small vessel’s shields. ‘Down to 82%,’ he thought.

“They’re still behind us,” Troi said.

The Calypso took another hit. “Another one, straight ahead,”

“We’re in need of assistance. I’ll contact the Enterprise,” Troi said.

“No, they would still be dead in space,” Riker said. “And we’re now losing engine power!”
A New Generation – So it Begins
“Deanna Troi Personal Log; Stardate 41285.9. It’s all lies. But I’ll start at the beginning.”


Enterprise arrived at Starbase 395, located at the edge of Federation space, after a month of ‘leisurely’ travel from Deneb IV.

Lieutenant Deanna Troi returned to her quarters to find that there was a private message waiting for her. “No!” she said. For she recognized the ostentatious crest that had appeared at the start of the message. The combination of the symbols of the Betazed Ministry of Federation and Foreign Affairs, the Federation Diplomatic Service and the Fifth House of Betazed. There was only one person who used that symbol. Ambassador Lwaxana Troi, her mother. She breathed deeply and pressed ‘Accept.

“Little One!”

She paused the message. How many times had she told her she didn’t like that diminutive? She hadn’t like it since her powers had activated at puberty. She resumed the playback.

“I heard the Enterprise was stopping over at Starbase 395, so I had to go there. Besides I need to be there for negotiations next week, so I would have been there anyway. I digress. I have become aware of something that we need to discuss urgently. Something that can’t be discussed over subspace.”

She paused the message again. What was the thing that she needed to discuss urgently? Her heart beat faster. She didn’t know, did she? ‘Impossible,’ she thought. But then her mother did have her resources.

“I hope to see you soon. I will come to the Enterprise as soon as the ship docks.” The message ended.

Deanna looked out the window. Enterprise was very close to the Starbase. Docking would occur in minutes. She resolved to meet her mother at the airlock.


Lwaxana waited for the docking sequence to complete. Eventually, the airlock opened and she walked through to the Enterprise, to find her daughter waiting for her. ‘Little One! I didn’t expect to see you waiting for me.’

‘Hello, Mother. Your message sounded rather urgent and I want to know what you know!’

Deanna was rather direct, but then she had reason to. And she sensed a lot of worry coming off of her.

‘Not right here, Little One! There are other Betazoids at the Starbase.’

‘Of course, not right here,’ Deanna interrupted.

‘Then we’ll have to go somewhere aboard Enterprise. Preferably where no one else is.’


Five minutes later, Deanna and her mother entered a lounge on Deck 3

“Could you fill us in,” Clara asked.

“Five years ago, Voyager entered a subspace divergence field...” Janeway began.


“Interesting,” the Doctor commented. “This is a similar phenomenon,” he said to Kim, “But there are differences. Which is why we need to prepare.”

“What do we suggest we do first, Doctor?” Janeway asked.

“First, we'll warp to a 0.08 of a light year of the current position of the edge of the phenomenon and proceed at impulse power until it catches up to us,” he answered.

“That is interesting,”Aialah commented. “So, the ship's systems are maintained from here?”

“Yes,” Gamma answered. “Ordinarily there would be ten engineers for a ship of this class, along with the DOT16s.”

“And now?”

“There are eight Engineering Holograms, each with a designation from one of Earth's alphabets.”

Voyager’s shuttle bay door opened and the Delta Flyer launched. “Where are we headed?” Elseran asked.

“Just to the other side of the planet, for the moment, then Commander Chakotay will execute the next stage of my plan.”

“Then I’ll know?”
“Yes.”


“The Flyer has launched,” Ensign Kim reported.

“It will take four minutes for them to get in position.”

She placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Tasha’s turbulent emotions began to settle. But she knew that would have to be a session after they arrived at Farpoint.

“Greviously savage could mean anything,” Picard said. “I will answer only specific charges.”

“Are you certain you want a full disclosure of human ugliness?” Q asked. “So be it, fool!” He turned to the bailiff. “Present the charges.”

“I miss Hotaru,” he murmured.

“Not the first time someone wanted to leave...” the Doctor said in a sad tone.

'There's something there,' Sabir thought. 'Hotaru had been travelling alone with her when I started travelling.' He shook his head. “Have you found anything.”

“Not yet.”


Police Public Call Box. “Huh?”

“What?” the officer asked.

“The markings of the pod. It has an English phrase. 'Police Public Call Box'. That makes no sense!”

“...Sounds familiar.”

“How, sir,” the tech asked.

“Just run the search.”


The Doctor found something. “A particle trace...”

“What kind of trace?” Sabir asked.

“A particle trace. It could tell me something about what happened.”

“Lose?” Q asked incredulously.

“Yes, even though you’re judge and prosecutor.”

“And Jury.”

“Accepted, so long as you keep to your agreement,” Picard said. “And assaulting prisoners is hardly a fair trial.”

“This is a merciful court,” Q said as he thawed Yar. “Continuing these proceedings, I must caution you that legal trickery is not permitted. This is a court of…”

Picard interrupted. “Court of fact! We humans know our past, even when we're ashamed of it. I recognise this court system as the one that agreed with that line from Shakespeare. Kill all the lawyers,” he said referring to Henry VI.

“Which was done,” Q added.

“Which led to the rule guilty until proven innocent.”

“Of course,” Q said, clearly enjoying himself. “Bringing the innocent to trial would be unfair. You will now answer to the charge of being a grievously savage race.”


Deanna could feel that Tasha was tense, trying not to remember what she had experienced of the ‘courts’ on her home planet.

There was still discontent and worry. But they settled down. Chakotay wondered how Kes was having that calming effect.

“One drink,” she said.

“Sure.”


However, Daria quickly regretted that decision. That one drink was enough for her to get tipsy. “That’s enough for now,” she said, firmly. “Do you have a soda?”

“Of course,” Kelly, one of Natalia’s friends said. “Here!”

Daria nodded, she considered that she had just sounded like Quinn!

“What do you mean?”

“It is something technological isn’t it?”

“Yes,” Bond answered in a guarded tone. “But I trust my Quartermaster to be able to work it out.”

“That’s what I’m afraid of.”

Bond looked closely at the pensive expression on Hernandez’ face. She was clearly hiding a lot of things. ‘I need to do something, before she tries something desperate,’ he thought. He was sure of one thing. That asking her who she worked for wouldn’t be a good idea.”

“I can let you look at it somewhere secure.”

“Sure.”


As Bond got back in the car, Hernandez contacted the Toronto. “I’m going to follow him to a safehouse.”

“Are you sure that’s wise?” Lawson asked.

“There’s not much choice. I don’t want to hurt him. I’m sure I hurt those Warsaw Pact agents…”

“Right.”

Troi looked around the courtroom. She could detect nothing from the people there other than the other officers who arrived with her. But she knew Q was there, somewhere.

“Historically intriguing, Captain,” Data said. “Very, very accurate.”

“Mid 21st Century, during the Post Atomic Horror,” Picard said, referring to the many warlord states that arose in the aftermath of the nuclear exchange at the end of World War Three.

‘Could have been worse,’ Troi thought. It could have been Nazi Germany, Khmer Rouge Cambodia or the Great Khanate.

“All present, stand and make respectful attention to the honoured Judge,” the bailiff said.

Troi leaned closer to the Captain. “Careful sir. This is not an illusion or a dream.”

“But these courts happened in the past.”

“I don’t understand either, but this is real.”

“Get to your feet, criminals!”

Then Q appeared, in a garb appropriate to a ‘Judge’ of the era.

“At least we’re acquainted with the Judge, Captain,” Data remarked.

Picard stood. “Can we assume you mean this will be a fair trial?”

“Yes,” Q answered. “Absolutely equitable. Proceed.”

The Bailiff spoke again. “Before this gracious court now appear these prisoners to answer for the multiple and grievous savageries of their species. How plead you, criminal?”

“Well, what?” the Doctor asked.

“Look at them! My boys!”

“Cybermen in broad daylight? You think people won’t notice?” Indeed, people were noticing, and taking selfies…

The Doctor sighed as people threw coins into her hat. ‘Pudding Brains!’ he thought.

“More power has been routed to sickbay, Doctor,” he said.

“Thanks, Lieutenant.”

La Forge came over to Troi. “How is …”

“He or she isn’t well, but then I probably shouldn’t have brought it aboard,” Troi said.

“You couldn’t have known.”

“That’s certainly true. I was acting under impulse.”

“Most people do in those places,” La Forge agreed.

“I better get going,” Troi said.


In his ready room, Captain Picard heard a squeak. It seemed Enterprise was still having ‘teething problems’. ‘I can hardly concentrate if there are random noises in my ready room!’ he thought. The door chime rang. “Come!”

Deanna Troi entered sickbay. “Come here, Deanna,” Dr. Beverley Crusher said. “One oversight Starfleet hasn’t really considered. There isn’t a trained veterinarian aboard.”

“There isn’t?” Deanna asked. Typical of Starfleet to have such an oversight, even though officers had had pets aboard their ships since Archer’s voyages.

“And learning the anatomy of most of the sentient species in the Federation and it’s friendly neighbors doesn’t really qualify one to treat pets either,” Beverley went on.

“So, you’re saying you don’t know how to treat it?”

“Exactly.”

Deanna looked at the strange creature she had bought back at Farpoint. She regretted buying it. (Or her, or him. Beverley hadn’t been able to determine its sex.) She suspected it was the influence of the creature that had posed as Farpoint that caused her to buy it. But now it was dying. “You haven’t been able to determine what could be affecting it?”

“It could be anything.”

“Thanks for trying.”

The door opened again and the Chief Engineer, Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge entered.

A short time later, after Pentallion had gained some distance between them and the Star , the Doctor, Felicia and Martha led the surviving crewmembers into Section 30, where the TARDIS waited.

“This is never your ship,” Scannel said.

“Compact, eh? And another good word, robust! Barely a scorch mark on her,” the Doctor responded.

“We can't just leave you drifting with no fuel,” Martha said.

“We've sent out an offical mayday. The authorities will pick us up soon enough,” Riley stated.

“Though how we explain what happened...” Scannel started.

“Just tell them. That sun needs care and protection just like any other living thing,” the Doctor and Martha entered the TARDIS.

“So, er, you're off then. No chance I'll see you again?”

“It's not very likely,” Felicia admitted. “It was nice, not-dying with you. I reckon you'll find someone to believe in soon enough.”

“I think I already did,” Riley said with a smile.
