Lower Decks
When the crew of the Kurasawa began falling ill, a virus was suspected. But as their condition worsened, it became more and more clear that something far more unusual and dangerous. Then the medical staff succumbed. In deep space, with a mission that desperately needed completion, Captain Ruban called on [...]
Lower Decks
When Alfredo turned in his resignation, his superiors were shocked. This had been his dream, they said. No one ran a galactic cruiser kitchen the way he did, they said. He was the best chef they ever had, they said. He couldn’t possibly leave, they said.
Alfredo listened. And when [...]
The last few weeks have been kind of heavy on the supernatural, so this week is pure space opera. One of my favorite STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION episodes (and don’t be like that; we all have a favorite ST:TNG episode) is “Lower Decks,” where instead of following a main cast, we instead follow [...]

Who are the Regulators?
