Excerpt from: A New Generation
It didn’t really tell her anything she didn’t know. That the Bandi had been able to build Farpoint over a very short period of time was part of the reason Starfleet had sent Enterprise to investigate. There were rumours that they intended to join the Federation. ‘I’m certain I’ll be able to determine if that is true or not,’ she thought as she played with a lock of hair. She quickly stopped that action. She looked around.
None of the other officers had seen that action. She was sure. She sighed inwardly. ‘Counsellor, counsel yourself,’ she chided. That was one reason she usually wore it tied up. She made a note to schedule a session with one of the Junior Counsellors for sometime the next week. She heard one of the turbolift doors open and saw the Captain come back to the bridge.
“You will agree, Data, that Starfleet’s orders are difficult?”
“Difficult? Simply solve the mystery of Farpoint Station,” the Android officer stated. He looked, perplexed. Unlike everyone else aboard Enterprise, she could read very little from him.
“As simple as that,” the Captain added.
“Farpoint Station,” she mused. “Even the name sounds mysterious.” If it wasn’t too good to be true, it would be a very useful forward base for exploration of the regions beyond, given that First Contact with the Bandi had only occurred less than twenty years earlier.

“Thanks,” Daria murmured.
“Ms. Defoe?” came the high pitched voice again. “I need a new pencil. I used up the eraser.”
“Here, Brittany, take another pencil and a fresh piece of paper, and try again,” the exasperated teacher said.
“If I don’t figure this perspective thing out, I’ll have to take remedial art.”
“It’ll probably be a good thing,” Daria considered out loud.
Brittany shook her head. “I don’t think so. Hey, you’re smart. Show me how to do this?”
“Isn’t there someone else you can ask?” Daria asked in an annoyed tone.

The Doctor stepped out.
“Doctor, we started mobilising as soon as we saw the emergency signal,” the captain of the Valiant II said.
“Status of the Azorean situation and the Drahvin forces following the explosion, Captain...?” the Doctor asked.
“Captain Roberta Anderson. The explosion of the Drahvin ship had an EMP effect that has affected everything in the Azores. We are not reading anything. Sensors are showing another Drahvin fleet in geosynchronous orbit over the mouth of the Amazon.”
