[edit] Memorable quotes
- "Do you wonder why, Susan?"
- "Wonder why what? Why everyone is out to get the Federation? Why no matter whom we beat someone is always ready to try and take what is ours? Or why is it that the Warp drive is always the first system to fail?"
- — Captain Masters and Commander Core pondering the big questions.
- "And the Borg are going to get that assimilation is bad and instead give cookies to war orphans."
- — Commander Core's "and pigs might fly".
- "They don’t pay us enough for this...sleep deprivation."
- "They don’t pay us."
- "I keep meaning to say something to Command about that."
- --Lt. Colonel Daley and Captain Masters.
- "Have a good last look at your homeworld. For soon it will be nothing but a memory."
- — The Roj Ch'Dak to Captain Masters as the Vendoth prepare to destroy Earth.
[edit] Background information
- Occurs roughly a year after the events of "The True".
- The character of Rachel Stevens appears in the version of the story on the official Star Trek: Unity (crossover) website but in the version available at Star Trek: Swiftfire she has been replaced by the similarly named Rachel Daley. Originally what was just a surname change then evolved into two separate characters been created and Daley taking over Stevens' role in the story.
- Also the Rachel Stevens/Daley character is referred by two different ranks during the story. At the beginning she is referred to as a Lt. Colonel while later she is repeatedly addressed as Major. It has not yet been established which is the correct rank.
- Out of the main characters only Karak is missing from this story, having moved on from the vessel.
