It's been a long time since 99's seen this place. On the Milliways end, at least ( Read more... )

Reese is, understandably, much more adjusted to the bar than the last time she was here.

Though that might have something to do with the current lack of blue people - or people of any other color of the rainbow.

Which suits her just fine, because she hasn't had her morning cup of coffee yet. You can talk to her once she gets it.

23 years ago, the previous Enterprise had its first encounter with the Romulans. Jim still remembers that like it was yesterday. So he really doesn't need to read anything on the subject. However, sometimes there is something new to read. Specifically, a new assessment of the event from the Romulan point of view. Jim's reading it today, and he ( Read more... )

Cubefall isn't doing much for the good captain. Oh, he finds it intriguing, as good explorers should. Alien holidays are very noteworthy. But he has no real interest in being someone or something else (he was a woman once, anyway). And is pretty sure that you really aren't being turned into an animal or robot - he can think of a dozen rational ( Read more... )

At least it's sunny, and Jim is warm in his excursion jacket, but he probably won't be out for long ( Read more... )

Jim's taken Rachat all the way out by the mountains. The cold and snow seem to both neither rider nor horse. And Jim has a thermos full of really good coffee (made with the beans that Ensign Rager got him for the holidays). Looking back, Jim sees nothing but woods. No woods, no building. Just woods. The topology of things here is, to put it ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving has sailed on by, tragically (or not) without the turkeys Charlie gifted to the mess hall. Those had disappeared along with the boy, and McCoy feels it's more than a fair price to pay. It's near Christmas-time back on Earth, and the mood on the Enterprise couldn't be grumpier. Between teenagers on their first multi-year cruise ( Read more... )
