"Alright, Twilight. See you next week."

"Right! Thanks again, Sunset, Trixie!"

"No prob!" Sunset waved. "Just keep us in the loop on how things are going."

"Of course!" Twilight replied and stepped through the portal.

As Sunset turned around, she saw Trixie with a thoughtful expression.

"What?"

"Trixie is thinking we might be able to help more."

"How?" Sunset asked.

'We gave them the movies and five series but what about Beta Canon?"

Sunset looked at Trixie with alarm. "Are you insane? Beta Canon is a confused mess of contradictions! Giving them that could be worse than useless!"

"No,  Sunset, Trixie has not gone insane. Hear me out." Trixie held up a  hand. "We know that certain authors have already shown some reliability:  We know that Pirates of Orion actually happened, so Howard  Weinstein's books should at least be considered. We met Harb Tanzer and  Ensign Naraht: That means Diane Duane's works should be considered. Forged in Fire we're already gambling as being correct due to the connections to known episodes. So those authors should be considered. And it seems that John M. Ford's Final Reflection and the Klingon Dictionary have legitimacy also."

"That's true but what about Marshak and Culbreath? I just can't take Triangle or Prometheus Design as making any sense in relation to what we know to fit. And Duane may have been mostly right but the USS Inaieu seems unlikely. At least as she's  portrayed in the book."

"I said some  veracity. Better that they have access to the ones which have some veracity on record. But yes... Trixie would not include Marshak and  Culbreath. Dreadnought also reads like a self-insert fic. I mean, the Franz Joseph Technical Manual aside, do you really believe anyone in the Federation would name a ship Star Empire? We DO know that the Federation did build the Federation, Saladin, Hermes, and Ptolemy classes...  But Trixie does not buy an advanced Dreadnought secretly built by a  renegade admiral right under everyone's nose to start a war with the  Klingons to be any more believable in Dreadnought than in Into Darkness. But we can ask Twilight to check a list of names to see if anything comes up."

"Wow! I see you've given this some thought!"

"Naturally. It is my duty to provide facts, not speculation."

"And if there IS a chance that a bunch of nutcases are going to detonate an anti-matter bomb and kill a million people... We can't ignore it."

"We actually might want to hurry on that one. My reading suggests that if it happens, it will be soon."

"This is one story I really hope is wrong."

"It probably is but a couple of inquiries that turn out negative? Trixie can live with. A million innocent people dying and the defense system proceeding to shoot down everything in the sky? No."

"Good point." Sunset conceded. "Anything else that jumps out at you?"

"I'm going to concentrate on checking anything scheduled to happen prior to  2363. Especially anything scheduled from 2269 to 2293. Beta canon is  nothing to make certain plans around but having contingencies is  logical."

"Anything else? FASA? SFB? Exeter, New Voyages, Farragut?"

"SFB is by its own admission, a completely different universe. They aren't even allowed to use the name 'Enterprise'  beyond the ship rosters. And I would take fan-films with a planetoid size grain of salt. FASA seems to have more potential  but I'm not sure how much. Maybe Scotty can check the viability of some of the ship types  but a LOT of the material got contraindicated by TNG and other  sources."

"Well, at least we'll know we've done everything we can."
