• Janeway records the stardate 61898.2 in her vice admiral’s log.

• Janeway recounts the events of “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”

• It’s Doctor Crusher! From Star Trek! Doctor Crusher is voiced by Gates McFadden, who played the character on TNG.

    • ”She’s surprisingly hard to track down these days.” It was revealed in “Seventeen Seconds”, Doctor Crusher left Starfleet after learning she was pregnant with Jack.

”Been a while since the Shinzon incident.” Admiral Janeway did order the USS Enterprise E to Romulus in “Star Trek Nemesis”, but she didn’t have any interaction with Doctor Crusher in the film.

”Last I heard, he was busy with the Romulan evacuation.” We learned in “Remembrance” that Picard left the Enterprise E to to command Starfleet’s rescue armada ahead of the Romulan sun going supernova.

• There have been two Starfleet ships named for Archimedes, one mentioned in the Short Treks episode, “The Brightest Star”, and the Obena-class vessel seen in LDS’ “First First Contact”.

”I saw a glimpse of my future.” Dal looked at the timestream, despite being told not to, in “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”.

“When I was your age, I was lost too. Lost my father, my heritage, my purpose.” As per “Tattoo”, Chakotay’s father died defending their colony. Chakotay would have been 40 or 41 at the time.

”I never truly belonged until I became Janeway’s Number One.” Janeway declared Chakotay first officer of the USS Voyager in “Caretaker”.

• We learned that the the USS Protostar’s proto-drive is powered by a literal protostar in “Terror Firma”.

Presumably it would be the various Tholians we've seen over the course of the franchise, as they require a temperature around 480 Kelvin to survive.

I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

• The episode picks up where the pervious episode, “The Devourer of All Things, Part II” left off, with the Protogies having located an older, grizzled, bearded Chakotay on a remote world. Chakoldtay immetately throws the CHAH-mooz-ee stone Dal was holding out to him at the end of the previous episode over his shoulder and goes back about the business of living off the land.

    • We see Chakotay whittling a chess set. Though as alternate dimension Kirk puts it in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, the old fashioned, two-dimensional version, ”Basically idiot’s chess.”

• It’s the Emergency Janeway Hologram! From Star Trek! The EJH…died for lack of a better term when she sacrificed herself in “Supernova, Part 2”, but thanks to time travel, she’s back.

• We learn that from Chakotay’s perspective, it’s been ten years since he was rescued from Solumn by the Protogies in “Who Saves the Saviors”.

• Chakotay explains that he and Adreek stranded the USS Protostar to prevent the Vau N’Akat weapon learned about in “A Moral Star, Part 2” from reaching the Federation, and Dal recounts how the Protogies set off the weapon in “Supernova, Part 1” and then destroyed the Protostar in “Supernova, Part 2”.

• The first instance of an ion storm in Trek was in the season one TOS episode, ‘The Galileo Seven”.

• Zero finds the Protostar’s dedication plaque, and we learn that the ship was launched on stardate 59749.1. Assuming stardates happen sequetionally, that would put the launch of the Protostar after the events of all or most of season 5 of LDS, the latest stardate for which we have is 59499.6, “Fully Dialated”.

    • The Protostar’s dedication plague has the quote, “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves,” which seems to paraphrase a line of William Shakespeare’s “Julius Ceaser” and is attributed to him on many internet quote sites, but is not actually from the Bard’s works.

• Jankom sets about repairing the broken down runaway ground vehicle, which was introduced in “Dream Catcher”.

    • In this episode we learn the runaway has a hover function.

”Out of all the planets to maroon yourself on, you pick this P class nightmare?” Class P planets have not been previously mentioned on screen, but were introduced in the “Star Trek Maps” reference book, published in 1980. According to the “Star Trek Star Charts” reference book, Class P worlds are over 80% glaciated. Assuming Jankom is right, Chakotay apparently marooned the Protostar in a warm spot.

• Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.

I cannot recommend “Warp Your Own Way” enough to any fans of the series. Calling it a graphic novel fails to account for the fact that it is a choose your own adventure style story which makes perfect sense in the context of the story being told. An absolute master craft of the comics format. Also, it’s funny and the art is good.

Much like Captain Bateson and the USS Bozeman, we’re back, baby!

The PRO canon connections got derailed by LDS and seasonal depression, but seeing that the Greatest Trek podcast was about to overtake how far I got has me in it to win it. My plan is to get it done before SNW drops.

 

• The episode opens in the office where Wesley took the Protogies at the end of “The Devourer of All Things, Part I”, which appears to be based on Gary Seven’s office from “Assignment: Earth”.

    • Wesley confirms that it is not the actual office from “Assignment: Earth”, but a replica mimicking that office to train the Travellers’ field agents.

    • The newspaper in the office has a headline reading “Apollo VII Launches.” There was an Apollo VII mission patch displayed behind the bar of the 602 Club in “First Flight”.

      • The story of “Assignment: Earth” did feature a rocket launch, but that was for an orbital nuclear weapon platform, which Gary Seven was able to sabotage and detonate.

    • When Wesley turns around the bookcase revealing a hidden computer identical to the Beta 5 computer as seen in “Assignment: Earth”

• Commander Tysess swears on the Wall of Heroes to protect Maj’el with his life. The Wall of Heroes was first mentioned in “United” when Shran said he would take Archer’s blood there after killing him in an honour duel.

”Fall back to the battle bridge!” The USS Voyager A is the only ship other than the USS Enterprise D to have a battle bridge mentioned in dialogue.

• Admiral Janeway shows up wearing a tank top, a look she first sported in “Macrocosam”.

”Tom Paris taught me that one.” Janeway and Paris spent a lot of time together during their time in the Delta Quadrant, particularly in the episodes “Time and Again”, and “Threshold”.

• The Voyager A’s shuttles are armed with quantum torpedoes. We’ve previously seen runabouts armed with micro-torpedoes, but this is the first shuttlecraft that has been explicitly said to be equipped with torpedoes of any sort.

    • The shuttle is also able to survive the detonation of a full spread of quantum torpedoes at close range.

”Now, if you six would step under the modified Boreth crystals near the Orb of Time, I can get the quantum signature readings I need.” We learned in “Through the Valley of Shadows” that time crystals are a naturally occurring mineral on the Klingon monastery world of Boreth. The Cardassians returned Orb of Time to the Bajorans in the episode “Trials and Tribble-ations”.

”Fine, but Jankom’s still not sure this won’t scramble his genes like a Jiballian omelette.” Neelix claimed his seven-spice Jiballian omelette was famous in “Prototype”.

• Janeway recognizes Wesley despite the two never having met previously. This is because there’s only ever about seven people on any given Starfleet ship that do anything, so everyone in starfleet knows who they are. See: all of Star Trek.

In this case, yes. The character Kirk was fighting in the gif you posted was surgically disguised as an Andorian to disrupt the diplomatic talks regarding the dilithium mining world, Coridan, in the episode "Journey to Babel".

The Andorian in the screen grab in your second comment is an Andorian.

Not to be that guy (I am 100% that guy), but that’s an Orion.

Ah, that was my second guess.

Did you mean “Yesteryear” for TAS? “Spock Amok” is an SNW episode.

I'm not sure I believe that Vulcans would be frying a lot of their foods, but those fritters do sound pretty good. Maybe without dumping enough paprika onto the hummus to make the logo, though.

Speaking of fried foods, that Orion funnel cake looks like an atrocity.

My group switched to 2e pretty quickly after it became available. There are some significant differences, but for the most part it’s a streamlined version of 1e.

Most of what’s available in the new Tech Guide would is simply information about the various technologies players would have access to. There’s only a few stat blocks.
