(Image) So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down today. Nothing gold can stay. - ‘Nothing Gold Can Stay,’ Robert Frost ——————— ‘Assessing threat -’ ‘No - damn it - we’re going to have to reset the software again.’ ‘Oh, no, no. I’m sure there’…

This was the fourth bar Lopez had tried in Tokyo’s Shinjuku ward, and the moment she saw the pool table, she knew it was the right one. Most of the establishment was thudding music and low lights streaked with neon, so she could shoulder her way th…

It was three long years since Kharth had served on a starship. A starbase was different; a starbase was a city floating gently in the cosmos. But starships ultimately existed only for their work. This extended to the off-duty facilities; a gym was a…

After days penned up on his new ship, the peerless blue skies of Bismarck II were begrudgingly welcome to Rourke. It was an old settlement, one of the first of a fledgling United Federation of Planet’s colonial ambitions, racing for the stars as far…

Sawyer West was not a superstitious man, but if he cut himself shaving in the morning he knew it wasn’t going to be a good day. Today was an exception. Because Sawyer West knew it wasn’t going to be a good day the moment he got out of bed. ‘...I me…

It was a sunny day in San Francisco, so Helena Black took her paperwork and sandwiches outside for her lunch break. Starfleet Command HQ offered little more than a paved quad with a smattering of greenery out front, but she could grab a bench and pe…

The bridge was such a bustling hive of activity that Connor Drake almost crashed into someone the moment he exited the turbolift. Only with a neat side-step did he avoid collision, throwing up his hands. ‘Woah, sorry. Sorry. ‘Scuse me.’ Less than tw…

(Image) I've been looking at the sky 'Cause it's gettin' me high Forget the hearse 'cause I never die - 'Back in Black,' AC/DC ‘Heads up!’ Chief Engineer Nikon Petronius turned to see the football coming right for the warp core. On instinct he si…

(Image) It was the end of all things, so of course there was a party. That was a cynical way to view perhaps the most important day in Earth’s history, but Professor Juliette Gauthier was in a cynical mood. It was the end of humanity’s independen…

No artificial scents piped through the life support system could fully mask the disinfected smell of Starbase 157's infirmary. Valance had spent more of her life than she cared to contemplate in medical facilities, and still it hit the back of her n…

‘Absolutely not. Under no circumstances.’ Rourke fished about for his most winning smile. This was not the reaction he’d expected. ‘Oh, come on, Aisha. Aren’t you sick of all this?’ ‘This’ was the opulent office adjacent to the medical research la…

‘Oh, hell. She got hit real bad.’ The horror in Counsellor Carraway’s voice was so real that Airex leaned forward to look through the shuttle canopy. He had been focusing on navigating through the traffic of Starbase 157’s flight lanes before they …

‘Violence. We always think we know what that word means.’ The words rang out across the lecture hall by acoustics and projection alone, reaching even the cadets who’d opted for a quieter morning in the back row. ‘But then you start to break it down.…

(Image) Far in the pillared dark Thrush music went - Almost like a call to come in To the dark and lament But no, I was out for stars; I would not come in. ‘Come In,’ Robert Frost ‘Stand by for drill descent… impact in 5…’ Noah Pierce swung aw…

Beckett's smile was faint, and faintly supercilious. Still, his incline of the head was genuine in its respect. 'Thank you, Ma'am. I believed an opportunity like this was sufficiently rare it should be treated with all due significance. Who can say …

'Good evening,' said Beckett, standing as the first entered the room. He himself had already procured a vodka martini as aperitif as the gathering brass officers mingled. 'Please, make yourselves comfortable, take your time. Staff will bring you wha…

Rourke had tried to make sure he'd got a good seat for this particular briefing; even if the Romulans were neither his area of personal experience nor where he expected the lion's share of his concerns on Endeavour to stem from, he'd still listened …

'Saturn.' Rourke frowned. 'She's an old Ambassador, right? She's being temperamental with the refit?' He took another croissant, then pushed out his plate of piled pastries. 'Again, please help yourselves, everyone. I wasn't really awake when I orde…

Rourke had a long gulp of coffee, and winced. 'That's still hot,' he croaked. 'And, morning, Captain, Commodore. Commander Rourke, USS Endeavour, stationed out near the Klingon border - but we've been pirate hunting lately, and I've not been there l…

Rourke seemed like he was trying to drown himself in coffee, his mug huge and steaming, a selection of treacherously sweet breakfast pastries before him. This was an indulgence he didn't usually permit himself; his was a broad build he knew went sof…

'Good to meet you. Matt Rourke, USS Endeavour.' He offered his hand to Chandra for a shake. 'Where are you shipping out to when this is all done?' He glanced over at Flanigan and grinned at the latest filled glass. 'Planning on suffering your way th…

'That's right. For about five minutes.' Rourke put his bottle down and extended a hand. 'Matt Rourke. We're operating out with Task Force 93, near the Klingon border. No real frontier, just pirate hunting. I'd say not much to go and see, but then, I…

Rourke laughed. 'They wanted to be really sure we got that message, huh?' He shook his head and had a swig of his beer. 'Fuss and speeches aside, it's good to hear. Not much of an explorer myself, but it'll do people good to see Starfleet heading ba…
