    Summary

    “Doc broke a tube of something, inhaled it, then fell in the middle of the lab. He said it was someone else’s. Smelled sweet.”

    Stratt swears about a paragraph worth of German profanity.

    “You’ve got the shape of it,” Carl says when she’s done. “You know what that was?”

    She presses hard at her temple. “It was an experimental drug to manipulate neurotransmitters,” she spits out, her consonants especially harsh. “Meant to help the crew in their comas by stabilizing hormonal output.”

    “It was supposed to,” Carl echoes. “Does it?”

    When Stratt shakes her head sharply, her hair falls from its loose braid. “The very opposite. It was an abject failure—an aphrodisiac. Very potent.”

    “Uh oh,” Grace says dreamily.

    .....

    When Grace has an accident in the lab and ingests an aphrodisiac, Carl takes him to the only person he knows with a private room. Stratt gets them through it.

    Summary

    "Hey, doc."

    McCoy glances up briefly, then drops his eyes back down to his paperwork. “What.”

    Scotty plops down in the chair across his desk, leaning forward to sprawl his elbows out over McCoy’s datapads and grin obnoxiously at the edge of his vision. “Heard you fancy yourself a drink now and then.”

    Summary

    "Enjoy, want, concern. Nothing Data was capable of experiencing, as Geordi had been told too many times to count. He still didn’t quite believe it. He had no idea if that meant he was perceiving something no one else did, or if he was anthropomorphizing his friend. Maybe he’d never have an idea." (set after s4e25)
