ST: TNG: Quarantine


Thomas Riker’s medical transport was hijacked. The Maquis (Torres, Tuvok, Chakotay team) captured Riker. They were looking for Medical supplies. It was going back to get them from the Gandhi.

The medical supplies was for delivery a virus that almost wiped out Terok Nor and now was wiping out Pedula. This was a multiprion disease which attacked every organ and brought on instant age.

Riker and Shelzone went to the IGI searching and making sure no Cardasseans were there. Riker was stunned.

Torres told Jakotay of the Delgran Prefect offer of Sanctuary for all the Maki that wanted ge would pass it on.

“Destiny had drawn them all toward this forgotten corner of the galaxy, and maybe this would be a place where their quixotic came to an end one way or another.” Quarentinne (644)

The Cardasseans were letting the Makis heal the Delgran –then they were going to annihilate them Riker and Shelzane awoke in a beach house Shelzane had the disease and had to be go through the bio-filter of a transporter to get the disease eradicated B’lanna was asked to dinner by the Prefect The Prefect gave B’lanna some clothing She loved it Diplomacy didn’t suit Torres at all Echo Imjim and her son Harper were hand gliding and were transported to Jakotay Maki Ship from Helena a world suffering from biological warfare due to Romulans. The world has two nations Padulla and Delgran Thomas Riker was going to the surface to help with the disease IGI- Institute of Genetic Improvement-research of Inter spatial breeding.

"Maybe hope is contagious." (Thomas Riker)

Riker and Shelzone his ship mate were under attack by the Cardasseans. Uni bloodied one species Mixers-mixed blood half one specie and another 

"Creed to combine species in as many permeations as possible" (624) 

Suffering from disease, Chimera, genetically engineered combination of two germs Death and sickness come and go but uniqueness like you (Torres) had not been seen in centuries. 

Since your arrival, our morale couldn’t be higher —it’s as if we have seen perfection.” (Prefect 656) 

The Prefect Klain, asked Torres to have a child with him, but he did not believe in agronomy Riker is making a sailboat for him and Shelzane Shelzone doesn’t want to infect Riker so she stays behind

The Prefect, Klain, put Torres in a gorgeous room that night with ever more clothes a quire sang in Torres’s honor

The Helenites are image conscious; they make sure they look nice no matter what

For centuries the IGI was population control

When someone has a monopoly, people would do anything to get rid of it.

The Multi Prion disease may be engineered by the Cardasseans. Chakotay took a hand gliding lesson from Echo and they also were tractored part way. Chakotay was on the search for Riker. Rikers raft was in trouble, he was shouting for help. He was rescued by Shelzone making noise in the water.

Torres, Tuvok and Dr. Gammot think Prefect Klang started the disease and were going to prove it. Riker made an attempt to escape by digging and Shelzane was in bed too sick to. Help Shelzane died a few minutes later Riker took her body and put it in the water and the sea creatures ate it as she wanted.

“Only that we cannot hope to be successful, if unknown parties continue to introduce this disease. Even those who have been treated can contract it again.” (Tuvok 686) Riker went through a pipe to get out of the beach house Klingon Proverb “You don’t know you are until you start a fight” Torres and Dr. Gammot lied to Klain about finding another plague source Torres placed a homing beacon on Klain Klain was killed by a Cardassean for wanting no more to do with the arrangement they made about the disease Tuvok, Chakotay and B’lanna were arrested in the death for Klain Dr. Gammet vouches for them “We haven’t had a fire in Aster for 100 years.”(699) Gal Demadak was ordering the Cardasseans to move in and kill the Maki Helena was chosen for the disease because of its isolation If the disease could thrive here, Federation colonies were in grave danger Riker is captured “For some jobs you can’t beat Starfleet.” (Chakotay 711) Shelzone died of the Multi-Prion disease Riker gave her body to the Sea Creatures as she wanted Then Riker escaped Chakotay was hiding his ship on the surface and sending Spartacus to the Federation, so it would appear that all the Maki had left The Singha was destroyed The Spartacus went into hiding awaiting the Federation Chakotay missed being on land.

ST:TNG: Forgotten War

This novel had 270 pages.

Yarn delegates were coming from the Tsushima abourd the Enterprise. There was a problem beaming them up. Garret and Dr. Eadman Commander Harms Karish beamed up.

Harna had a tatoo which revealed his clan. Karish's role was an exchange officer. Janice Yardman was a historian. She beamed up as well. Riker liked Janice.

Picard was awakened for space junk. It appeared to be a Rashasa ship from 200 years ago. Riker, Data and Dr. Eardman beamed over. Some 700 people were missing from the ship. Riker had a slave owner in his family.

Laforge had slavory in his family. Both families taught in the Civil War. Turn taught Klingons. The Federation and the Tarn agreed on making a neutral zone

The Enterprise received a transmission from  the world of a woman wearing a uniform that was out of date asking for help. Karash refused to stop the war. Worf was asked to talk with Karash, since their species respected one another. The settlers were federation so Picard was going to order them to cease fire. The people on the planet were celebrating for they know the Enterprise was in orbit.

Riker and Janice went down to the planet. They met the refugees in a cave. The refugees didn't trust the Enterprise that the war was over. They had a very hard time stopping the war, simply because the civilization was bred for war. Gadin was the Tarn commander, on the planet that were fighting the war which ended.

Some Tarn guards were beamed down, but from where. Karish found a locator beacon on himself and Gadin saw it as well. Gadin hadn't responded to it though.The away team went missing. Picard was talking Jard, the Tarn admiral, who wanted to speak with Karn.

Picard was in communication with the Tarn government and the Federation relatives down on the planet asking for a peace negotiation to take place. The talks for peace were going nowhere fast. Riker met Alyssa Murat, the General Lyssanders daughter, who was a watcher. She was fasinated by her first look at the sky, which humbled Riker very much.

Janis told Julia Maret, the war could end with peace. They were at war so long that Julia forgot what peace was. Julia's son had died.

Riker was severely stabbed. Picard and Crusher beamed down to find Riker. Eardman greeted them and Julia Muret, who they woke. Picard was introduced to Lucios Muret , in stasis, he was awakened when his guidance was required, then put back in stasis.

Lucios was threatening to remove Picard from command. Even the most comfortable prison, is still a prison. From the darkness of our souls, is redemption not possible?

Karish almost killed Riker. Worf transported to the surface.

Lysander's daughter died. Lucios's wife wanted to stop the fighting and her husband called her a traitor. Karish and Picard just sent both sides all the weapons they needed to encourage a cease fire.

ST: TNG Contamination

 273 pp. 


Dr. Lynn Coasta and Dr. Emil Milu

Both of them greatly improved the transporters bio-filters. They were retiring to Switzerland. Lynn was having a nervous breakdown. Emil was in Ten-Forwad with a cadet. Lynn and Emil weren't going to be allowed to stay on the astroid because it was Krell. Sheena, a cadet, that was aboard Enterprise for six months, was talking to Emil, before Troi interrupted. Emil wanted to retire, but his wife didn't. Emil said they didn't have a traditional marriage, they were just co-workers who mage love sometimes. Emil was so cooperative, Troi was curious why. 

Troi had a dream where she almost died, Lynn had died. Lynn was in a clean suit that filtered air out when she died. Troi wasn't fond of Warf because he suggested to kill her child, because he could be a threat to the ship. Troi and Worf were talking to Karn Milu a full Betazed. They went into a clean room. Troi suggested someone rewrite the computer program to kill Lynn. Troi found a ble vial of alcohol in the room.

Only one person would advance because of Lumber demise, that was the Vulcan helping in the investigation. Lynn and Emil were said to be arguing  Emil was lying about the death, Troi noticed. Antarean admitted he should be a suspect. Emil and Lynn were fighting tons. He didn't have faith in the Vulcan heading the project.

After just being accusted by the big Betazed Picard asked Geordi if they're was any sign of murder. Guinan told Worf and Troi that Milu used the blue vial they found at the crime scene to spice up his orange juice. Troi hasn't slept because of the murder. She felt responsible somewhat for dismissing Lynn from her couciling session so soon.

Weasly was put on the case by Worf because he had been tutored by Emil some years back. Milu saw Troi that night about Worf, and his demands of paperwork. Milu is Betazed and tried to change Trois mind.
After the viewing the captain wanted to speak to Worf. Picard was giving the investigation four more hours. Riker welcomed the Jewel abourd.

Wesley was almost killed by Milu, Obrien transported him to a clean room where he overhered Milu and Dr. Coasta talk about Lynns death as if they had planned it. They transported a organism that was so small it got through the bio-filters. They locked Wesley in an airtight sealed pod. Worf got shot when he went to the Contamination Room. Saduk saved Wesley. Dr. Coasta was holding the shuttle with the Krell Delegation, Picard, Riker, and Data hostages.

The Krell Delegation was made up of;
Admiral Ulree, First Assistant Kwalrak,
Ambassador Myrah, Colonal Effrek, Orderlie Efrek and Orderlie Akree.

The Krell Delegation and Data overpowered Koasta and regained control of the shuttlecraft. Emil sabotaged the shuttle for fear of being killed by the same people that killed his wife. Gustaw was an Anterian, met Wesley at Emils door. Worf went to Sheena Russels cabin to interrogate her. People were trying to say their respects to Emil, but he wouldn't take them, and turned them away

Gastow may have murdered Lynn, under orders from Emil. Emil requested Data as his lawyer. Seduk wanted to leave the project, but feared that the project will go aray without him. The commander of the Starbase Gretchen Galen came aboard Enterprise. Worf was going to oppose Data. A Krell got banned from the Coasta trial for disliking Worf. Laforge helped Troi find a computer drive under many bugs.

Troi woke up to find the computer in her room not working. She couldn't sleep, so she called Laforge and.set set to work on the computer drive. The Coastas hid their findings of the microbe for fear of how it would be used. Emil said the killer.was still on the Enterprise. Troi contacted Worf on the astroid, then fell comatose.

Seduk wanted to head the Micocontmination project. Shana Russell had Warf at gunpoint. Emil stole Shanas mothers work. Emil had an affair with her mother and was her father. The turbolift emergency speed saved Worf. Emil Coasta punishment is to teach transporter  classes on the Krell station.

ST: TNG: Metamorphosis


Data had just arrived back from an away mission. They gave him a welcome back party on the holodeck.

The Enterprise crew had a cat aboard, which they named Mystery. They named her that, because she kept appearing in places, and no one knew how.

Captain Maddox and Data went to the courts on the case of Data's humanity. Riker was the prosecutor against Data, so he was not liked by the crew at the moment.

The Enterprise rescued 4 people from their ship before it was destroyed.

Data was going down to the planet, as well as Worf and Palaski. They had a bet going amongst the crew that Data could or could not pass as a human.

Riker's away mission was to a city called Quinaria. The away team was seen as Gods and given a feast. There was an unexplained barrier which kept the swamp gases at bay from the town. A woman came across the town and almost drowned but Data saved her. They hardly ever traded with anyone.

When Data told Thelia that he was android. They split up. Thelia then screamed. They both repaired Data's injured hand, then it became cold. The Gods could have been the preserves. They went through fire, but weren't severely damaged. Data was human.

He beamed to the Enterprise from Elysia. Security was brought in with Picard, Troi and Worf. They escorted him to sickbay. Palaski and Geordi recognized him.
Data, as a human, had a hairy chest.
Data had to reset his door from privacy lock to open because he was back on the Enterprise. When he awoke he totally forgot what had happened.

Picard yelled at Data for introducing Wesley to Dare, a mercenary. After breakfast Data practiced some physical combat with Dare, after fixing there ship. Data had to requalify for his duties which he hoped didn't mean going back to StarFleet because he might not be posted back on the Enterprise, for the crew was his family.

Data was talking to Geordi about how problems could not easily be solved. He developed a sweet tooth and started sampling new and exotic flavors. Wesley told him wemon thought he was cute and.he should get over Pros, who left with the convoy. Riker told him to play the field.and enjoy wemons uniqueness.
Every morning, Data felt as if he betrayed someone. Trio hypnotized him. They found out Data was in love with Thalia. Although Thalia didn't know he became human.

Thalia was getting married. She had a magical kiss, the Kiss of Joining. He was brought before him but she didn't recognize him. Data was returned to an Android.

Everything was set right on the planet, Thalia had met her future husband on her previous vision quest,and meeting Data was erased from her mind, but not from Data's.
The Enterprise was called away from Elasia to supply a war and found out both sides were related and couldn't help but mediate if asked. The two warring races were telepathic. Konar and Somadians.

"Thought exists in some form, we cannot measure."

The Konar would be at peace with the Ikonar if they became their slaves. Data split his chest to show he wasn't human. Utter confusion befell the Konar. He pulled out his transmitter and told them that it was responsible for his telepathy. He asked if this meant he wasn't human.

Those who are positive they know everything surpass and destroy those who disagree. But those who know they don't know explore, build and seek wisdom. Geordi Laforge. If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end with droughts, but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end with certainties.
