Susan: You know what. You’ll find that I have certain biological advantage.
Clara: (Slaps Susan) It’s not a competition about who can die slower!
Susan: It would definitely be me, wouldn’t it?
Clara: There was supposed to be a plan. Do either of you have a plan?
Susan: Of course I have a plan.
Robin: I too have a plan.

Excerpt from: A New Generation - Fear Response
“Picard to Lieutenant La Forge. Please report to the Observation Lounge.”
“Sorry,” Geordi said. He tapped his commbadge. “On my way, Captain.”
As the Chief Engineer walked out of Ten Forward, Beverly lightly slapped her son on his arm.
“What was that for!”
“You’ve hacked into the Navigational logs, haven’t you?”
“No!” Wesley denied.
She knew when her son lied however. “You did! Didn’t you?”

Excerpt from: Mystery in Polonia
Tegan Jovanka wandered through the TARDIS corridors. It had been a while since the ship had landed. While she had enjoyed the time she had spent with the Doctor (and occasionally Turlough) reading in the library, she wanted to get out and about. ‘I can see he has accumulated most of those books on his travels. They are not all from Gallifrey,’ she thought as she came to the Console Room. It was empty. The Doctor was elsewhere in the ship, but she could see the that they were still in flight.
“Where are we headed, then?”
There was no response from the console, not that she expected any.
“Where’s the Doctor?”
There was a beep as if to say ‘none of your business.’
“Have it your way,” she said. She decided to go and find him.
The Doctor was in the kitchen. He was a little annoyed at the TARDIS for just drifting in the vortex. Sure, he liked spending time with Tegan, but he wanted to get out there and make a difference. ‘Besides, the longer I spend in the vortex, the more likely the Time Lords would stick their noses in,’ he thought. “Are you going somewhere, old girl?” he asked. He got the sense that his ship was indeed going somewhere, but was taking her time about it. He sighed. ‘I better check the Console,’ he thought.
As he headed to the Console room, he saw Turlough watching the end of a British movie from the ‘60’s in one of the theatres.
As Tegan left the Console Room, she saw the Doctor come around one of the corners. “There you are!” she chided.
“You were looking for me?” he asked in mock surprise.
“I’m bored. The ship may be huge, but I’d like to be somewhere, even if it may be dangerous.”
“Be careful for what you wish for,” the Doctor said.
Tegan frowned.
“Brave heart, Tegan,” the Doctor said, as he took her hand in a comforting gesture.
She had to admit, holding his hand was calming. “Thanks.”
He led her back to the Console Room.
Turlough entered the Console Room to see that the TARDIS was still in flight, and the Doctor and Tegan standing very close to each other as they both scrutinized the readouts on the Console. That was one thing that was annoying. It made him feel like he was a ‘third wheel’ or something. He cleared his throat and the two stepped away from each other as they noticed them. He saw Tegan blushing as they did so.
“Turlough, how was the movie?” the Doctor asked.
“It was, interesting,” he answered. “We still haven’t landed anywhere, I see.”
“No, we haven’t,” Tegan said.

“This is the USS Jadzia Idaris. Captain Paris speaking.”
“Welcome to Meridian, Jadzia Idaris. You are welcome to beam people down.” There was a pause. “Wait, you named a ship after Jadzia?”
“One of the people beaming down will explain,” Captain Paris answered.
Ezri waited anxiously in the transporter room.

Excerpt from: A Day in Danville
She finished getting ready and started down for breakfast.
“Good Morning, Candace,” her mother said.
“Morning, Mom.” As she grabbed some cereal, she saw that Phineas and Ferb were already outside, planning their project, along with Perry wandering off in the backyard.
“I know what we’re going to do today!”
