“Err…,” LeCroy began, “Yes and no. ‘Yes’ in that how all of the working parts come together in an artificial being was inspired by Lore. ‘No’ in that BX-12’s brain will be synthesized totally differently. But the truth is we really don’t know what made Lore the way he was, whether it was just a flaw [...]
Captain Seth entered the laboratory to meet his next crewmember: his Chief Engineer, Jean LeCroy. Of all of his senior staff, LeCroy was actually the most publicly known. He was a highly accomplished engineer, and worked on some of the most ambitious projects over his career in the Federation. He was responsible for many of [...]
Captain Seth proceeded towards the doors of the holodeck. He cradled his dislocated left arm, which now hung out of its socket. The pain seemed sharper now, now that his adrenalin was subsiding. I guess now’s a time as good as any to meet the new doctor, the captain thought to himself. He couldn’t help but [...]
The Breen were a reclusive, war-like race and were once enemies of the Federation. All Breen soldiers have been known to wear refrigeration suits, but the reason for them was never made entirely clear.

Seth could not have expected the Excelsior to show up all of a sudden on the day that the Dragonfly was launched. He was especially glad to see it because he was close and personal friends with the new captain, assigned to it only a month ago. It was the original U.S.S. Excelsior, Excelsior-class, commissioned over [...]
September 23, 2407 0930 hours U.S.S. Dragonfly, Main Bridge Utopia Planetia Shipyards Mars, Sector 001 Captain Seth walked onto the bridge of the Dragonfly for the very first time. Admiral Roth was already there, in full dress uniform. The bridge was incredible. His first impressions left him with few words to describe it: dark, sleek, [...]
September 23, 2407 0901 hours Utopia Planetia Shipyards Mars, Sector 001 People gathered from countries all over Earth to hail the new ship that was to be commissioned at the Utopian Planetia Shipyards orbiting Mars.

September 23, 2407 0813 hours Earth, Sector 001 U.S.S. Rhino, Admiral’s quarters Admiral Roth stood quietly in his quarters aboard the U.S.S.
