Excerpt from: Changes in Time and Space
“Sigrid, keep an eye on 'Ira'tant and her soldiers. Keep them away from the controls,” the Doctor directed.
“What are you doing, Doctor?” Daniel asked.
“I am going to look for a program that I haven't used since the Time War for combating Dalek battle programs. It is stored in a storage device somewhere in the depths of the TARDIS. I may need it to expunge the Dalek programs from the Scanner circuitry and the Drahvin computer systems,” the Doctor answered.
“I can keep an eye on her,” Sigrun said.
“Good. Elisha, come on,” the Doctor said.

Excerpt from: Lorraine’s Paradox
Calvin gave her an incredulous look. “Like if something impossible happens. If you hear that I had vanished into thin air or something.”
“Oh,” Lorraine said, as she pondered what he just said. “Sure. But what if something impossible doesn’t happen?”

Excerpt from: A New Generation
Farpoint
Captain Jean-Luc Picard wandered the corridors of his new command, the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D, an example of the Galaxy class. It was an example of how advanced the Federation had become in the two centuries since its founding. Having just left Sector 001 they would reach their destination at Deneb IV in less than a day. ‘Remarkable. It would have taken the Stargazer a week!’ he thought as he stepped into a turbolift. “Bridge.” He was sure he was ready for the command, despite being out of it for nearly a decade.
A month earlier
Picard entered Admiral Satie’s office. “Jean-Luc, welcome,” she said.
“Good Morning,” he said as he sat down and sipped at the offered tea.
“You have received your orders?” she asked.
“Yes, Admiral. To take command of the Enterprise and begin a voyage of exploration. But…”
“But?”
“It nearly a decade since the Stargazer was lost. I’m not sure I still have it in me.”
The Admiral raised her hand. “I have confidence in you. So does the rest of the Admiralty. I have read the reports on your recent missions. You did well in a command role. Besides you will have an experienced First Officer. The field has narrowed down to a few officers.”
That did reassure him, but there was one niggle. “I’m also not sure having children aboard a starship is a good decision.”
“If we are going to have long term missions, we can’t have officers who have families miss them for long periods.”
Picard had heard that argument before. “I understand. I guess I will have to let the First Officer deal with them.”
“Is that all, Captain?”
“Yes.”
Enterprise - Present
Diplomatic Officer and Chief Counsellor Deanna Troi looked over the bridge as she emerged from one of the turbolift. Most of the Senior Officers were there. The Android, Data, stood up from the Command Chair. “Welcome Counsellor,” he said.
“Afternoon, Data,” she said, trying to warm.
“We’re one hour, forty-seven minutes out from Deneb IV, maintaining a speed of Warp 9.”
“Making good progress,” Troi said as she sat at her station, next to the command chair.
Data nodded and sat down again.
