Crossover with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Constable Odo, obliged by Starfleet regulations to take a ten-day leave, visits a planet with an unusually low crime rate.
Author's Notes[]
[...]
Many of the Nick and Nat aspects of this story were 'borrowed' from an earlier story by Dawn Steele but some dissatisfaction with Lacroix's portrayal in her story ultimately led to this 'Light Cousin' story. However, Dawn's story "Forever Not: Lacroix's Worst Nightmare" remains one of my personal favorites and I would like to both thank her for writing it and highly recommend it to everyone else!
Notes[]
- The story was beta-read by April Hackett, Michael Pung, and Jan Wiles.
- A number of references in the story indicate that it serves as a postscript to Arletta's Fourth Season series.
- Arletta postulates that, in the Star Trek future, the existence of vampires will be non-controversial since future technology will reduce the limitations of their condition and largely eliminate any danger they pose. Considerable detail is provided in the story.
- In the story index on the Forever Light Cousins website, this story is simply listed as "Conversation".
Quotes[]
"I'm pleased to make your acquaintance," Odo said politely.
"As am I, yours," Lacroix replied being just as polite.
Suddenly the name rang a bell in Odo's mind, "Are you THE Lacroix, the philosopher whose lectures are a standard part of the basic Federation education?" he asked.
"You flatter me," said Lacroix.
