BackgroundEdit

• According to the title page, this story takes place between TNG episodes "Who Watches the Watchers?" and "The Bonding". The previous issues of the comic had taken place in a later timeframe, where Wesley was already a full ensign, after TNG episode: "Transfigurations". With the next issue by regular writer Michael Jan Friedman, the comic would return to a timeframe in later 2366 or early 2367.
