Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
Hernandez looked at this James Bond. He was looking at her in more ways than one. ‘What to say?’ she pondered. “What was your objective?” he asked.
“You obtained something in Oxford,” she said.
“You’re not taking it,” Bond stated.

Excerpt from: Horrors of the Delta Quadrant
. Immediately, the ion storm threw the ship aside. “Sorry,” Paris said as he tried to compensate for the turbulence. “It’s getting rougher out there by the second.”
“Set a course out of the storm and the nebula, Mr. Paris.”
“Aye, Captain.”
Down on Deck 8, some of the refugees were panicking due to the turbulence. “What’s happening.”
“Please remain calm,” Chakotay pleaded as he tried to walk into the crowd. “We’re still in the ion storm, but we should be clear shortly.”
Kes spoke up. “Listen to him.”

“But you can’t go! You’ll ruin everything!”
Daria smirked. “But I need to broaden my social horizons,” she added, with an imitation of their mother’s voice.
Quinn gave out a noise of frustration.

Excerpt from: Troubles of Ronisaka
The Doctor had found more information (including Kamasagi’s manifesto), but all that did was reinforce the information he had found at first glance. There was more going on. It seemed that something was stoking the tensions with those hostile neighbours. ‘But for what purpose?’
