// Blog Note: Many titles now becoming public domain, Star Trek Series One video stream is available on the search on this blog, then novalizations of the series are also public domain soon.
Star Trek: The Next Generation is also starting to be listed on archive.org //
Fan script note: Many of my fan scripts focus on themes of plot continuity etc., for example many characters get thrown into life life spans with encounters with the Q etc., for example Picard and Data is separate stories and alternate futures still have story themes in common.
Chapter One – In Search Of The Sentiot
After escaping the Federation Picard now begins to relax…perhaps too much, thinking of his times with open surgery from the Borg with no pain medication when they replaced his human heart.
Picard…settling down from his escape, now in full command of the actual NCC-1701-D (Black Frame Version) Scrap Yard wear etc., also now appears younger…perhaps in his fiftes.
As he recovers in space in his banned Star Cruiser his thinks of his time as a gifted child on Earth…he fantasizes to himself of being a kid and stealing a star ship and faking his own crew…”Picard…come on”, the kids telling him to pilot the ship..”take the helm..let’s get out of here!”…Picard runs to helm laughing in his fantasy.
Picard out loud: “Enough of this.”
Picard: “I must find the Sentiot.”
Picard now complains of his perfect Earth mental health and calmness and needs to continimate it with a chemical he calls “The Sentiot” which allows him to break free of the planet’s sedation so he can focus on his space mission.
Picard plans to “rattle his nerves” by taking the Sentiot which breaks the mental grip of Star Fleet’s medications for his space travel.
The Sentiot although causes harsh nerve symptoms at times, help’s break the grip of forced perfect thoughts from the Federation.
Picard: “The Sentiot will help me focus and stay alert during my mission.”
Picard looks through his files on the Enterprise D.
Picard to himself: “I’ll have to start by making a few adjustments and customizations to the ship.”
Picard activates the holodeck crew to help him run the bridge of the Enterprise.
Picard: “A holodeck crew and cloaking device should be enough….now to find a target to extract the cloaking device, perhaps a small Klingon Freighter to attack.”
Picard: “Computer…activate holodeck set course for Klingon Perimeter A.”
Captain Picard now plots a course in the now banned Enterprise D for Klingon Space to get supplies for his mission.
