Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
“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.”

Excerpt from: A New Generation – Fear Response
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.”

Excerpt from: Q Junior’s Lessons
The Princess harrumphed. “How naïve! Most people who think like that don’t survive long here.”
“Really?” Janeway considered. “The Federation has survived for more than two centuries.”
Elseran gave a derisive snort.
“Look,” Q Junior said. “If you were to take any of the shuttles, you wouldn’t last long against that armada!”
“But what would the alternative be. Voyager and her crew fighting to protect me, leading to my death along with theirs?”

Excerpt from: The Doctor and the Sanctuary
“Nothing really,” Haru said.
The Doctor moved closer to Martha. “Haru may know something. I can’t put my finger on it.”
“We have heard that there is something unusual about this area,” Martha said.
“This area. Nothing really remarkable about it,” Haru said in a way the suggested she knew something.
“Really?” the Doctor asked.

The Doctor and the Sanctuary
The TARDIS came to a stop. “That’s strange,” the Doctor commented.
“What’s strange?” his companion, Martha Jones, asked.
“We’ve stopped in Tokyo. But it’s somewhere I’ve stopped before. The TARDIS is reading similar spatial distortions to the other times.”
“So, you think there could be something to it?” Martha asked.
“Yes.”
The Doctor and Martha stepped out of the TARDIS, into a café next to a crossroads. The Doctor scanned the area with the sonic screwdriver. “Oh!”
“Oh?”
The Doctor pointed in the direction behind the café. “Something’s Spacey-Wasey.”
“Spacey-Wasey?” Martha asked.
“To the three dimensions of space what Timey Wimey is to the fourth dimension of Time,” the Doctor answered.
“So, a part of Tokyo is folded in on itself?”
“Looks like it. But it may be only part of it. It’s like a tesseract. There may be connections to pocket universes.”
“Right,” Martha said as she took it in.
The Doctor thought about what he might have found as he and Martha sipped their cappuccino’s. Martha was petting a large cream coloured cat. ‘There could be anything in the contorted space,’ he thought. Whether the Japanese Government was hiding something there, or there was something else there, he wanted to find out. He saw a teenage girl with short hair enter the café and look at the cat Martha was petting. ‘Wait!’ the thought. There was something about that girl. ‘Could she know about the Spacey-Wasey region?’
Yoshioka Haru looked at the two foreigners who were with Muta at their usual table. There was something unusual about them, particularly the man. She doubted she would have noticed if she hadn’t been involved with the Cat Bureau. ‘The Baron would like to know at least,’ she thought as she decided to introduce herself to them. But first she went to order a coffee.
Martha saw the girl approach. “Hi, I’m Haru.”
“Martha, and this is the Doctor.”
“I thought we could talk,” Haru said as she began petting the cat.
“He really likes you,” Martha observed.

Haru and the Borrowers
Being involved with the Bureau never failed to bring surprises to Yoshioka Haru. Just when she thought that there couldn’t be something new, something new showws up at the Bureau’s doorstep.
Having just found yet another route to the Sanctuary from the Crossroads, Haru bounded up the Cat Bureau door. “Good Morning, Baron!”
Baron Humbert von Girkkengen emerged from the door. “Good Morning, Haru! You’re just in time.”
“Another case so soon?”
“Yes. It has to do with Borrowers.”
“Borrowers?”
“Come in and have some tea. I’ll explain.”
The tea was exquisite as ever, but Haru found the concept of small humanoids subsisting off things humans wouldn’t miss difficult to take. “It is strange, that we would miss them,” she said after the Baron had explained.
“A letter from a Borrower has found it’s way to the Bureau,” Baron said as he handed the letter in question, along with a magnifying glass to Haru.
Haru read the letter.

The Cat Returns – The Christmas Case
The snow was falling lightly as Yoshioka Haru arrived at the Crossroads Café. She looked around, but she didn’t see Muta anywhere. ‘Where is that cat?’ she asked herself. ‘Probably busy at the Bureau.’ She decided to get a coffee and wait.
Haru didn’t have to wait long. “Muta!” she called out. It didn’t matter that some of the other patrons turned to look at her.
The large cat came up to her. “Hi to you to,” he said.
“How are Toto and the Baron?” she asked, as she usually did.
“They’re fine,” Muta answered. “But they miss you.”
“It has been busy at school. But with Christmas coming, I will be able to visit the Bureau.”
“You can come this evening?”
“Yes,” Haru answered. She had considered visiting the Bureau considering that it was just over a week before Christmas. She finished the coffee. “Let’s go then.”
“I knew you were going to say that,” Muta said with a groan.
Five minutes later, Haru emerged from a side alley into the European style square the Bureau called home. ‘I’ll have to remember that way,’ she thought as she saw Muta emerge from a different side alley. She had just found another new route into the square. With the Square lying in a kind of side space, the routes to and from it didn’t exactly adhere to Euclidian geometry. ‘Of course I don’t always end up here,’ she thought. Most often a new route lead back to the Crossroads, but sometimes to different places.
One time Toto had to rescue her. Haru shook her head as she approached the Bureau.

“The reading is still further north,” Lawson reported.
Hernandez consulted her Tricorder. “Strange...” she commented.
“Another strange thing?” Lawson asked.
“It seems to be below the Bodelian. But that would mean there are differences in the development of the University.”
“Another difference between universes?” Albert asked.
“Yes,” Hernandez answered.
In another fifteen minutes they approached the Bodelian Library. The old building looked as it would during Hernandez's studies at an alternate Oxford nearly four hundred years in the future.

The Cat Returns – Haru’s Quest
It was a quiet day in Bureau, Baron Humbert von Grikkengen considered. But then he had sent Muta on a mission. Something he could do and be out of the way, while he did some research. However his day was soon interrupted. “Baron!” Yoshioka Haru called as she approached the building.
‘I wonder what brings her here today?’ the Baron wondered. He went outside.
Haru had a look of curiosity on her face. “I was wondering something.”
“Oh?”

Yoshioka Haru thought she had put the business with the Cat Kingdom behind her. But a few weeks after the incident she arrived home to find Muta and the Baron in the kitchen with the latter drinking from her mother’s favourite tea cup. “Huh? Baron? Muta? What are you doing here?”
The Baron took another sip. “The Cat Kingdom isn’t the only hidden world, Haru. They’re in trouble.”
“Oh! But what does that have to do with me?”
