Siege

ST: DSN: Siege started I began reading this on January 2, 2013. It has 272 pages. It is by Peter David.

A changeling was on a murdering rampage aboard DSN. He almost got away on ship, but they traitored his ship in.. He transformed into a suitcase before discovered. Miles was going to perform some magic tricks at Molly's birthday, however she wanted a pony.

Keiko didn't like being on DSN that much, she missed the Enterprise. She was a botanist, not a teacher. There were enough quarters on DS9 to accommodate at least 3 times as many people. Nothing was wrong. Odo surprised Obrien after he was done. Obrien showed Odo the magic trick.

The wormhole was creating to many neutrinos when used thus making it unstable. The Wormhole destroyed a Borg Cube. The wormhole incident really upset Jake. Jake wondered how long DS9 could last against the Borg. Every time the wormhole opened Odo hoped his relatives would come through. A Klingon ship wanted to go through the wormhole Sisko sent the feed of what happened to the Borg cube, so they didn't go through.

They asked for refuge at Deep Space Nine. Mas Marko was the father. Rasa was his son. Aria was his daughter. Del and Lobb were his other sons. The station got another visitor. Glav, a Ferengi, just arrived at DS9.  He just wished to tell Quark about his success from the con Quark pulled on him.

Cisco was talking to a Cardassian, Grotto, in his office, simply because they wanted to maintain present on the station. Bashir came in and talked to Cisco about the boy, who might have Eddington disease, and made sure he knew how to track it and care for it. Marko Edemian rang a bell in the Prominode and that made everyone keep their distance. 

Sisko didn't want any trouble from them. K'olkr what the believed in was the way of acceptance. The kid looked weak. Bashir saved Rosa with his offer to accompany him with his duties. Marko was encouraged by the success of his son. Glav had come to the station to rub Quarks face with his success.

Odo told Cisco the Ferengi wanted to buy the station. Obrien was practicing magic tricks for his daughters birthday. Lobb was murdered in his quarters. Azria blamed herself for her brothers death. The two remaining children had a sickness. According to their religion Bashir was not allowed to treat them. Quark to Glav to ops. Kira was having them removed because they were an annoyance. Sisko made an announcement about the investigation going on.

Miles gave Keiko a phaser for protection. Jake was walking Dena, a  girl from school home. Grotto wanted Quark to be a spy for the Cardassians on DS9. They sent Lobb into space. Meta and Dena were new friends. Dina's mom was being harassed by a Cardassian. The Cardassian raped her. The Cardassian thought he broke her arm.

She was a shapeshifter. She enveloped Gritto, the attacker. But then had mercy. Jake Sisko went by Meta's quarters to check on her, saw blood coming out of the door and called for security. Odo went through the door which was locked in his gelatinous form

They knew it was a shape shifter. Sisko told Dukot about Grottos demise. Bashir was talking to Azira about her son saying what if their son would remain dead and not go to their god and Marko lifted him almost killing him. The Cardassians were threatening to blow the station up if they didn't get their way to find the killer. The killer might be an offshoot of Odo's genealogy, and he might not be, Odo didn't know anything of his kind, it wasn't good that the only relative he found was a serial killer.

Kelsi was the stations multi-faceted woman, she was in charge of many things, she was the premier traffic manager. She was the next victim. Sisko made a station wide announcement about the changeling murdering people.

They asked if they should take Odo. He said then the mystery would las longer, since Odo is the Chief of Security. Obrien asked to escort his wife home, Sisko asked if he was that insecure on the Enterprise and he responded no. Every where there is risk. Sisko made him a deal, he would escort Molly, Keiko, as well as Jake back to their quarters. Basher and his nurse made a code word, to make sure of their identity. 

Two security men found something suspicious Odo and Sisko beamed over. They found the murderer, Odo changed into his gelatinous form. The criminal went into the Holosuite unbeknownst with Quark and Gaz. Bashir was looking for Quark. Jake was bored in his quarters and went to search for Nog, who hadn't been to school for days. Odo turned into a rat to go into the crawlspace after the criminal and found Nog. Bashir entered the holosuite just in time to save Quark and Gaz from the criminal.

Odo transformed into a hawk to save Quark and Gaz. The shape shifter was in the form of Meta. He grabbed Jake. Odo changed into a mirror. Sisko shot and it reflected off Odo and hit the criminal changeling. Bashir blackmailed Quark by saying he would tell Kira and Dax about the holosuite program and he wanted the program erased as well. Bashir said he could scan everyone as they beamed down to Bajor, but he only had Starfleet's medical record and the station had so many other species.

Mas Marko was called to Sisko by Nog. Azira lost her son. Quark told her he went up to a Holosuite. Sisko didn't call for Marko. Marko called a warship to pressure Sisco to give up the guilty changeling. Rasa was unable to hold liquids and so he was dying in a holodeck program which was going to happen in a few months.

But the program didn't work as of yet Bashir hadn't got the permission to heal Rasa. When Bashir got back to the infirmary he found his nurse dead. Odo surprisingly wanted to come to Molly's birthday. The changeling was posing as the medical unit when it killed the nurse.

Gul Dukot came calling in. Dax offered to say she commuted the murders. Odo was crossed, he wanted to consider the individual a member of his race to finally find something about himself, but didn't want to be related to the mass murderer. Kira was talking to Odo, than Sisko called, and Odo got an idea.

Azira took her son to Bashir and he was healing him. Sisko and Obrien were very tired of the situation. Sisko had a new thing to deal with, the Cardassians were getting down his throat. Quark sold the bar to Rom, and was getting off the station. Glav was behind the shapeshifter, he brought him to the station.

Glav thought he killed Quark, but it was Odo. The Changeling killed Glav, said he was only killing people for fun. Odo and the other changeling were fighting and transforming. Both went in the walls. The changeling was hit by phaser fire and seeped through the crack under the door.

Odo lost the changeling. Odo and a security team were after him. He was getting away in a runabout. Odo jumped and got to it. Odo was left on the outside of the runabout. The runabout made the Cardassians fire at it. The Eddington were firing at the Cardassians because it was their war. The Cardassians saw that Odo was on the outside of the runabout.

DS9 had a tractor beam on the runabout. It was destroyed in the crossfire. The shapeshifter wasn't killed within the wormhole. He was ripped apart but still conscious. He was in help having to live with what he did forever. Odo was transported back to Deep Space Nine. The changeling had stabilized the wormhole. Marko excommunicated his wife for allowing Bashir to heal their son and divorced her. She was going to live on Bajor. Odo was Molly's horse for her party.

"Time meant nothing to him. An instant was the same as eternity; both were merely subjective measures of his isolation and his madness, which began the moment he was cast out of creation and had been taking its toll ever since. His exile had just begun, and it lasted forever." (Q Space)(1) 

"Fair is fair, there is there, and here is nowhere, nowhere, no hope." (Q Space)(1)

Professor Faal, a Betazed scientist, was returning to Betazed on the Enterprise. The barrier of our galaxy causes insanity, brain damage and even death. Professor Faal was discussing going outside the known galaxy at a briefing.

"Exploring the unknown always contains an element of danger." 

"The Fundamental mission of life has always been to extend the limits of our knowledge of the universe, exploring new and uncharted territories." 

Barkley delivered the heart of the Experiment and wound up making a fool of himself. Milo, Filos son, missed him desperately, was stuck babysitting his sister. Councilor Troi sent Ensign Wildman to take Milo and his sister to the Holodecks Faal is hiding something Troi believes. Faal hadn't mentioned his children at all while working in engineering with Laforge. Geordi lost his mother two years ago, she hasn't been found yet.

"When you can do anything, nothing is more boring than simply doing it. Getting there isn't half the fun, it's the whole enchilada."(Q 38) 

Q's wife and child appeared in the mess hall. 

Baby q was playing with what seemed like a planet in the form of a ball. Q put the ball his son was playing with back in the Solar System it belonged in Q transported Picard back on the Bridge. Q froze Data for some time in mid sentence. Baby q was in the holdeck playpen. Baby q went to the ceiling.

The Enterprise was under attack by the Calmerians a gaseous species. Q abducted Picard. They got the probe back that they used to study the energy field. They couldn’t get out of the attack by the Calmerians. Q was guiding Picard through the birth of the Solar System and Q in his youth.

The youthful Q reminded Picard of Wesley Krusher. Q in his youth slung an energy band which killed Kirk. Picard was in a white emptiness that seemed to last forever.

"Sometimes poetry is the only suitable response to what the universe holds before us.” (Picard 166)

The Enterprise had no idea why the Calmerians were attacking them. The Calmerians were forcing the Enterprise into battle. Data was attempting to adapt the Universal Translator so they could communicate. They might have to go from the barrier because of the Calmerians.

They were retreating from the Barrier because the Calmerians however Faal was begging them to stay on course for the barrier. Picard was in Tagus 3 before the ruins one of the foremost archaeological mysteries within the Alpha Quadrant the oldest humanoid civilization in the Galaxy. 18000 years before human history began.

On Tagus III there were Imortru, a humanoid silvery skinned alien race who flew. They dived in the water. They were playing with their lives at stake. Q was witnessing that as one of their own

"The human mind was never designed with time travel in mind." (Picard 211)

"Merely maintaining the Fundamental stability of the multiverse isn't enough for me. ((Q Space)213)

The Calmerians were engaging the Enterprise in a conflict. Enterprise fought back. Q and Picard were at The Guardian of Forever. Both saw Ripples within time.

"There's always someplace else no matter how far you've been. Some unknown territory beyond the horizon, across the gulf, or hidden beneath a hundred familiar layers of what's real and what's every day. Time has to be someplace other or why else do we roam? We might as well just plant ourselves in one cozy cosmos or another and never budge. ((Q Space)247)

"You can make your own rules, take your own chances. You and me, we're not the kind to play it safe. What's the good of living forever if you never take a risk? 0 260

Q damaged the Guardian of forever by pulling 0 through it.

“It’s a truism with humanity that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Perhaps in your case reliving your history is the only way we can both learn from it.” (Picard-265)

The Sorrows of The Empire

This novel had 168 pages. I began reading it on November 4, 2012. I completed reading it on November 14, 2012.

Spock killed Kirk. What brought this on was Kirks intent to erase the Halkins from existence. The mirror Kirk had stated to him that killing.was wrong and encouraged him against this course of action.

Spock, was said by Kirk to have tried to breach both universes. Marlena, Spock inherited woman from Kirk, wanted a mind-meld. Serek came to Enterprise. Spock gave him a tour. Serek said only a few words.

Serek forced Spock to listen. Spock wanted to attack Coridon, Serek thought it will be a waste of time and resources. Spock said it will send a message of strength to Romulan and Klingon governments. The Vulcan council believe The Romulan Empire will fall. Vulcan might be eradicated in three generations. A constituted republic would replace it.

It would become a coalition of planets again. Spock just nominated Serek as his chief council. Serek accepted this appointment. Elaan, the Dolman of Eas, was aggressive towards Spock. Thoughts of Spock having special abilities were scaring the crew

Uhura was getting ready to murder Spock.

Spock took an away team down to a Vulcan monastary, it was deserted. They killed Deckers who Spock chose at the last minute to go. Deckers father was ready to have a civil war, to avenge his son, but Hoshi objected.

The Enterprise picked up a message saying to meet at the Terra Nova system to hijjak the Enterprise. When Enterprise got there, it surrendered.

Spock, however, overpowered Decker, with the help of his first officer Takesha and relieved Decker of command. He died rather than be betrayed. Spock was planning to kill Hoshi as soon as they got to Earth. Spock told Sevik about the device to kill everyone on the ship. Everyone was killed in Hoshis board room by Saavik.

Spock was the emperor. He felt he was a stranger in the castle even though he was born on Earth. Serek was his first visiter. Spock was planning to anhilate the Empire and replace it with a governing body. The one power Spock kept for himself was that his word was law. Spock returned to the Enterprise

For the first time, since he became Emperor, he wasn't protected by the Titenus field.

The Enterprise took him to Rigiler 1 to see Dr. Marcus. Marcus was working on Project Genisis, which Spock cut funding for. Genisis creates M class planets that could support life. He wanted Marcus to make other worlds habitable without the full magnitude of Genisis. A Romulan is found on Vulcan and he is killed swiftly. Two Vulcan females are in love and go against the law and give in to their desires. Klingons were going to strike the empire. No one knew why Spock was setting the Empire up for anhilation.

Admirals within the Empire were planning on assassinating Spock. They were planning on giving the throne to Ranjit Sinjh. They were also planning to wipe out the Senate as well. Curzon Dax was one of the people actively against the Klingon in. Dax disrespected the Klingons as they were congratulating themselves over a tiny victory.

The Klingons were working on a ship that could fire cloaked. Marlena was drowning in an artic sea. It was all a dream. She had the same nightmare for more than a decade.

Talking hadn't dissolved its power. Spock didn't want a child with anyone. Spock feared his child would die in the transition between the Empire going to a Republic.

Spock overcame the sensation of causing a massive civil war.between the.Cardassians, Klingons and Romulans. The assassin was put in head of the guards protecting Spock because the head stepped down. Spock set up this meeting to attempt to make a truce between the empires

Gorkon, the head of the Klingons, was there to form an alliance to wipe out the Romulans and Cardassians. Spock was letting his empire fall because he believed the Klingon empire will fall after.

Memory Omega was an all inclusive project of all the land and people of the empire. Marcus didn't believe Omega could be completed in two years as Spock requested. Spock killed Kirk as a favor to her, to prevent his action to David, her son. Spock wanted Saavik to return to Vulcan and rezine from Starfleet.

Valaris, who Spock was married to, was helping Spock to extinguish the empire and give birth to a new government. Valaris, lost control the weapon and injured herself. Spock destroyed it. Spock and Marlana were put to death. The Klingons were attacking. Spock was asked to kneel in front of the Klingon and Cardassian leader, but refused to and put him to death.

They killed Serek as well and cut his head off as well. They organized the slaves by profession. Sevik lied about her identity and was going to start a freedom movement which Spock had put together, but kept secret.
