Welcome to the world of the bizarre. More bizarre than usual Traks. This is the world of Star Traks: Unleashed,
where anything can happen, even if it really shouldn't. This is the place your Traks authors have dedicated for
putting their not quite normal works, those works which don't necessarily conform to continuity or make sense.
Some of these works aren't necessarily part of Traks as you know it. Some are stories that never happened. Some are
stories that shouldn't have happened.
All have been shuffled to this back corner of the Traks domain, for your enjoyment.

The time has come once again for our intrepid writing staff to offer some humble suggestions to a few TV shows of ways they might be enhanced by the addition of the Star Traks crews. One show gets a particularly large bit of the attention, and for that we apologize. We just kind of LOST our heads.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Unleashed page, we unearth more Traksy goodness from days gone by. Here, posted online for the first time, are deleted scenes from Years 1-4 of The Vexed Generation. Some scenes just didn't work, some made no sense, some were OK but didn't fit. Whatever the case, they were nixed, and nwo they're here. Also included in this once-in-a-lifetime gift set, is narration from me and Captain Andy Baxter, along with a preview of Year Eight. I'm so excited I could cough. Enjoy!

What happens when you smash a classic Star Trek film into "Once More With Feeling," the musical episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"? You may not want to know. But just in case you do, the answer is in "ONCE MORE WITH STARSHIPS"!

In the first Thank The Great Bird, the Star Traks crews took on classic Trek scenes. Now see what happens when they broaden their horizons to some of the other shows cluttering the air waves...or cable...or satellite...or whatever medium of television delivery you happen to be using. Oh never mind.

Ever wondered what happened to Mirk and Hartley after "All's Well That Ends?" No? FINE! Be that way! Just kidding. Anyway, this story picks up shortly after that book. Without giving much away to those who haven't read Ends, I'll say this story is not exactly a laugh riot. As such, and because it's sort of a story I don't have the guts to release as "canon" (even though it may as well be) it gets shoved off to Unleashed. But it absolutely had to be written, and I hope you enjoy reading it. If you haven't already, check out All's Well that Ends. As always,let me know what you think of the story!

Generally, the crews of the Secondprize, Waystation, and the Explorer tackle missions that are a bit off-kilter to begin with, but what happens when their crews are put into some real Star Trek situations from the various series?

Relatively early in my Traks writing career I decided I needed to do a ghost story, in the tradition of the TNG show "Out
of Phase" and about a million different sitcom episodes. I'm not sure I'm happy with what resulted, and that's why it's
ended up here. There are some character moments I like, but all-in-all I think death is just too damn hard to get jokes
out of. Its one redeeming quality is we get to revisit a whole slew of people I killed off in Year One. Did anyone else
notice how many crew bit the dust during that year? Anyways, let me know what you think of this one!
Keep checking back...more to come!
