“Yes,” the Doctor admitted.
“So, we're almost at the sixth?”
“That we are.”

'Yes!'
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.

Aialah nodded.
“You can have a tour of the ship if you like,” Alpha said.
“Sure.”
“Alpha to Beta, please report to the Bridge.”

Excerpt from: A New Generation - Fear Response
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.

Excerpt from: Troubles of Ronisaka
Clara was annoyed. “You just let him go?” she asked the Doctor.
“Of course not. He’ll find that the authorities have been notified. He won’t get far,” the Doctor answered.
“Of course.”
The Doctor knew that the situation he had just diffused was only a part of the issues in this particular community, so he knew he had to stay and he was sure that Clara wouldn’t want to leave just yet. He turned to one of the geishas. “We have just arrived here. I would like to know what has been going on.”
“Sure, but first, some cleanup is needed. Basic information is on the public network,” she said.
“Sure,” the Doctor responded. “Clara…” he started, as he turned towards her.
She interrupted. “I’ll help with the clean-up; you can look up the information.” She gave a him a playful slap and turned away.
She had her own plans, he could see. He quickly found a terminal.
“Clara,” the Euro girl said, introducing herself.
“Mariko,” she said. “Thanks for the help. If you hadn’t been here, I don’t know what would have happened.”
“You seem to have been rather prepared.”
“But with just the two of us on, Kamasagi would have got his way.”
“So, there are usually more on?” Clara asked as she picked up more of the damaged furniture.
Mariko nodded. “Yes. Usually six.”
“Maybe he knew this,” Clara stated.
That made a lot of sense. “But how would he have known?” she asked rhetorically.
The Doctor accessed the Public Network. ‘Now, he mentioned a Security Act and changes the Government has introduced over the past year’ he thought.
He quickly found some information, but he didn’t see evidence of a society that was changing from a democracy to any form of authoritarian governance. There were reforms in the face of pressure from their neighbours, including a few with which relations were either strained or hostile. It appeared to him that Kamasagi had objected to the reforms and began his movement with the aim to stop them by any means necessary. ‘Of course, the geishas may have a different opinion on the situation.’ And he had only skimmed the surface.
He looked back to where Clara was talking to one of the geishas. “Maybe she’s having better luck,” he said before turning back to the terminal. He loaded another article from a different news source.
Clara had thought on what Mariko had asked. How could Kamasagi had known the café was understaffed? The only conclusion she came to was that there was someone on the inside. One of those who weren’t at work perhaps.
