star trek - Is the character of Mirasta Yale from TNG episode "First Contact" ever revisited?


First off, this is not a question about the movie First Contact. It is a question about the eponymous episode from Season 4 of TNG.


In that episode, Riker is wounded on Malcor III, where he is posing as a Malcorian. Malcor III was on the verge of warp capability and Riker was collecting data in order to help assess the impact that first contact might have. Riker's injury and capture forces Picard to reveal himself to the Malcorians slightly ahead of schedule.


Picard's main contact on Malcor III is Space Administrator Mirasta Yale. She advocates for Picard and Riker's good intentions, and convinces the Malcorian Chancellor to give Picard Riker's whereabouts.



Eventually, the Chancellor decides to postpone relations indefinitely with the Federation. Having seen all that she has seen, Mirasta is unwilling to return to Malcor III and the Chancellor gives her permission to stay off-world. Picard orders Worf to assign her quarters. That is the last we see of her, to my knowledge.


Do we hear of Mirasta again? If not in the official universe, then how about in the extended universe? In particular, does she remain on the Enterprise?



Answer



Nope. There are no further references to Mirasta Yale in any TV shows, EU novels or other media.


The only glancing reference I've been able to find is in the Official novelisation of the episode TNG : All Good Things which identifies the transporter operator on the USS Pasteur as a Malcorian female.



And before he had to put up with any further protests, he found himself somewhere else entirely. It took him a heartbeat to realize that he had materialized on one of the Pasteur's transporter platforms.


"Welcome aboard," said the transporter operator—a slender Malcorian female with long red hair twisted into a braid.



Given that the episode is set approximately 28 years after the events of TNG : First Contact, we're left with the possibilities that Malcor have entered the Federation (unlikely), that this is another Malcorian exile (unlikely) or that this is the child of Mirasta Yale (likely).

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

Is there good canon evidence for the "Nightmare Matrix"?

On the Matrix wiki, there's an article about the Nightmare Matrix which says: The Nightmare Matrix was the second prototype Matrix, designed by The Architect after the massive failure of the Paradise Matrix in the hope that human minds would more readily accept an imperfect world with suffering. Unlike the first version, this Matrix instituted a basic cause-and-effect programming and forcibly made those connected to it accept the program. Vamp Prime, a possible remnant of the Nightmare Matrix. It also featured programs that resembled mythical evil creatures in various human mythologies such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, etc. It also failed, but many of the programs who were designed for it survived deletion in exile. The Merovingian and his wife, Persephone may have had their roots in this version of the Matrix. Upon its failure, the Merovingian started a smuggling ring of programs and information to provide a haven for exiles that would last for 6 cycles in the final ...

story identification - Anime with a boy hiring a creature from a stone, meets a man named Dante and starts a journey to collect crystals

I am from India, this anime or animated series (I can't remember this was made by the Japan or other countries) was aired between 2009 and 2012 probably in Jetix/Disney XD (but I'm not sure). This anime starts with a boy (the main character, I forgot his name) who find a stone (or crystal like thing) in his dad's property, his dad was missing that time. Some day he accidentally hire a creature/monster from that stone. Other day some creature attack him and he was saved by his creature and the story begins. In his journey to solve the mystery he meets a middle aged man 'Dante' (probably that was the name; this is the only character name I can remember). He had also some stone. After that they meet with one girl and a women (one of the girls is same age with the main boy character and probably will become his partner as the story goes on). Another women probably Dante's partner. Four of them started their journey to collect all the stone/crystal. They are collecti...
