| f9aa74c | Greg, I'm sorry, but you're not on the roster this time." "I'm NEVER on the roster. That's what I'm trying to tell you! Three years I've been on this ship, and now once have I ever been on a landing party." "Of course you haven't," "Dr. Nambue said. "You're a DENTIST." | David Mack | ||
| ae020b6 | The two women carried a stretcher, on which was sprawled a civilian man whose face was a swollen mass of blue and purple over broken teeth stained with blood.

| d78e552 | Of course, there are numerous variables to consider before we can make effective use of this clue.

"You present yourself in a way that feels more centered. Better balanced." Her smile broadened to a grin. "You have gravitas now." | David Mack | ||

| 8175ceb | A stack of children's books stood ready by Rene's bedside, and as Picard had begun the paternal duty of reading his boy to sleep, he had been impressed with his scion's growing vocabulary and seemingly insatiable appetite for narratives. By the time he cracked open the sixth tome of the evening's recitation, he began to question whether it would be unethical to let Crusher use a mild hypospray to hasten the boy's descent into slumber. | David Mack | ||
| 2b51039 | Naturally, the majority of the population observed this historic milestone for their species by inebriating themselves halfway to the point of blindness and filling the streets with vomit.

| 575b336 | Now it is customary for presidents to invite friends and donors to the White House. The Clintons, however, took this practice way beyond acceptable boundaries. Commerce Secretary Ron Brown frequently complained that he had become "a m*th*rf*ck*ng tour guide for Hillary" because foreign trade missions had become nothing more than payback trips for Clinton donors. The Clintons arranged for one fat-cat donor without any war experience to be bu.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

As quick as they are to profess the wisdom of IDIC, they remain in many ways quite provincial." It pained Burnham to admit to herself that Spock was likely correct. IDIC--the Vulcan philosophy that extolled the virtue of Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations--all too often was honored in its breach rather than its .. | David Mack | ||
| 60d6bb1 | She reminded him of the small team of Starfleet officers who had rescued him from certain death on his homeworld many years earlier.

| 632505c | You looked angry twenty minutes ago. With the McKinney family." "That was just a technical problem. Space and time. I didn't want to be late for dinner. I wasn't angry, really. Well, not at first. I got a bit frustrated later. You know, mentally. I mean, when there were four of them, I gave them the chance to come back in numbers. And what did they do? They added two more guys. That's all. They showed up with a total of six. What is that ab.. | Lee Child | ||

| d6bd545 | o futuro era um leque de possibilidades, nao apenas uma trilha unica e inalteravel. Contudo, das trilhas, umas eram bem mais provaveis do que outras, e algumas eram tao provaveis que pareciam quase impossiveis de se evitar.
