ST: TNG Maximum Warp


by Dave Galanter and Greg Brodeur Forever Dark 218 pages

Litre, a Romulan tried relieved Picard of command of Enterprise. He was a Klingon who rejected his beliefs and followed Klingon. Litre helped kill thousands of Klingons as well as others. T'sart was alive simply because he may have the key to save the Universe. Picard managed to fight with the Romulan.

This was only a holodeck program. Spock was controlling the simulation.   Riker, Troi and Data were trapped on a shuttle pod then were intercepted by a Romulan cruiser, which Robin Dax was hidden. Tobin wanted to become a Federation citizen. He was surprised to hear they were from the Enterprise.

Troi and Ruler were selling themselves into Romulan slavery to complete their mission. Medric saved Folan from a fight because he needed her to captain the ship. Medric is Tal'Shiar. He was planning to offer her membership. All she will have to do was destroy the Enterprise.

Kalor was under Crushers care. Lotre was dead but didn't realize it until he was in the turbo lift. Kalor was biologically intertwined with T'sart. Data has his emotion chip in for this mission. Tobin was giving Ruler and Troi pointers on being sold. Tobin took a ship and almost crashed it.

Ruler was bought by Nien. Tobin found Riker again. Nien was helping them find Troi. They found Deanna, she put the person who bought in the closet for getting fresh with her. Riker didn't want Tobin to kill the Romulans who were shooting at them because Nein showed him the good in the Romulan race.

Tobin got him on a Romulan space station where they reunited with Data. They took a ship and got into the dead zone. Romulans found something. Spock is trapped on a planet. The Tal'Shiar shot Spock's ship, then rescued him.

They found a planet which should have been sucked into a blackhole. The ships had waves of spatial distortion around them preventing sensors to work. The Enterprise crew degenerating. They went inside the sphere and their regeneration reversed. An alien computer came onto the Enterprise bridge and it was dimensionally scanning it.

It was scanning the ten dimensions of space-time. Spock believes the sphere and its makers are from a Type IV cavillation-one that can harness and manipulate power and energy from the universe. They were going to shoot the sphere out in hopes that its traverse would drain enough energy to prevent the universal destruction. Robert Picard acted in addition to Jean Luc and some of the dimensional universes were saved.
