 Ooh, hi ya'll (plural). Phil's finally letting me talk! Yes! It's real
simple, the story takes place between stardates 476603.1 and 460081.6, I
told you it was easy!!
Okay, I'll be honest, it's ~real~ hard to pin down a time for the Trek,
since this is one of those stories that doesn't specifically relate to any
TNG events. But it's important to note this is ~after~  "The Next Phase" and
before "Aquiel", that is a ~very~ general time frame, but I hope it can give
you some idea of when.

 Yeah, well, since I'm under age, if you try to give me a bed review you
might get sued for statutory...so I'd go for the next best thing, a bad
review. ;)

  -Me, I'm supposed to say something, but I don't really have anything to say.
