Author Notes

Season 1 took far longer to pen than originally anticipated, so with the run up to Christmas 2007 starting, episode 13 was snipped into 2 seperate parts which then became 3 parts as the Christmas plot was given a seperate segment all of its own. Part 3 of the story makes up the first episode of Season 2, (which it rightly should, being a season cliffhanger et al) whilst it also opens the new concept of an arc for the following stories.

Trek Original Series never used a story arc, (unless you count the Khan episode Space Seed and the movie "STII:TWOK" which has got to go down in history as the longest break between plot advancements of all time!) so this was a new concept for Origins. Here's hoping it works!
