Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Wrigley’s Pleasure Planet. For decades, a legendary center of relaxation and even a bit of hedonism for the Alpha Quadrant’s, then the Federation’s citizens, as well as a few of the unaffiliated.

Unbeknownst to most of those citizens, Wrigley’s, or more formally, Beta Andronicus I, has been the center of disputes over the proprietorship of the planet, between the Deltan family currently in charge, to others who had been in partnership with them.

Now, as the century mark of Wrigley’s membership of the Federation approaches, Captains Chandra and Blackthorne, along with the crew of the Yorktown, will attempt to mediate a dispute between members of that family, with the intelligence-gathering abilities of the Federation at stake.

Oh, and they’ll be doing some relaxing, as well.

But of course they will. - Vice Admiral Jameson McCall, director of Starfleet Intelligence.

There is a growing call among the people of Antares for the Federation and Starfleet to leave their world, which is home the Deep Space Area Command, the largest of all operational commands. Jamie ‘Croft’ Blackthorne is assigned to find the root cause of the movement, as some suspect that there may be Klingon separatist involvement.

Croft will look to the past, in the time of Christopher Pike’s Enterprise, when the base was established. There is strong evidence that there is internal Federation involvement as well, as he tries to learn what the new Deputy Federation Security Advisor’s angle is. He will be aided in his search for answers by Chandra’s crew of the Yorktown as well.

The road may lead him to doors that no one in the Federation wants opened.

Chapters: 6/6 Fandom: Borderlines Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Saavik, Ensemble Cast - BAN Additional Tags: Border Patrol, Crew as Family Series: Part 9 of Borderlines: Titan’s Journeys Summary:

Two distinctive threats plague the area of space known as the Triangle, which lies between the artificial borders of three governments. One, from this reality, involves a pirate ship known as the Serene Squall and her captain, Angel that has eluded Starfleet for over five decades, since the time of Pike’s Enterprise.

The second threat, from another dimension, has been around longer, since the time of Archer’s Enterprise, in another section of space known as the Delphic Expanse. Both of these threats also served as another captain’s white whale in the 2270s, Captain Bethany Blackthorne of the USS Yorktown.

These threats are now the challenge of the USS Titan, under the command of Captain Saavik, who has been tasked to solve the disappearances of Federation ships in the Triangle. Threats that she and her crew will discover are possibly interrelated, all the way back to Blackthorne’s Yorktown, in two different realms, spanning the lives of four crews and ships and a hundred and fifty years.

A scene from @mllemusketeer 's Nearest the Spark (chapter 2) on AO3

Oh my god this is fantastic! Thank you so much, I'm so excited you liked it enough to do fanart!!! I giggled so much when writing that scene.

Morning Snippet

A little foray into Saavik navigating snark from her first officer:

After a moment, Decker Sinclair nods, comes to attention, then executes a drill field-perfect about face. The deep hug that she gives and receives from Kaylin isn’t exactly regulation, but heartfelt. 

Kaylin sits down in the same spot at the table. “How’d she take it?” 

“That she will be a protocol aide?” 

Kaylin’s own sculpted eyebrows rise. “You didn’t tell her?” She smirks. “Chicken.”

Saavik attempts to stare balefully at the snark. She is sure that she fails as she adds, “I am merely waiting for the right time. My attempts at taking care of human fragility and the inability to take more than one piece of news at a time. Not acting as an example of human poultry would, in your strained metaphor.” 

“Right,” Kaylin says. “You just don’t know how she’ll react to being offered the assistant chief of security position, after Jade finally overcame expectations and got promoted to light commander, God help us all. We’ve been trying to get her to take an assistant department head on, as well as a tactical officer. She’s more comfortable doing the cop part of the job with Harry Decker.” 

“Mr. Sinclair has that secondary specialty as a tactical officer including the segment on weapons/defense in command school. And I don’t care if she is ‘off someone’s sensors or not.”

“Don’t worry, Captain. I won’t let it get out that you care,” Kaylin adds with that damnable expression that most of her little family of choice possesses in one form or another. 

“Please don’t, Number One.”
