Even though her testimony was hearsay, it was admissible under Tanugan law. (“A Matter of Perspective” [TNG]).
~1: [3, #b], 54: [1, #b]@1tea ceremony, Klingon@2Klingon ritual in which two friends share a poisoned tea served on a tray decorated with simple flowers. The ceremony is test of bravery, a chance to share with a friend a look at one's mortality, and a reminder that death is an experienced best shared — like the tea. Worf shared a Klingon tea ceremony with Katherine Pulaski after she helped him save face by hiding the fact that he was suffering from a childhood disease. (“Up the Long Ladder” [TNG]).
~1:[1,#B],7:[1,#B],11:[3,#B],21:[1,#B],46:[1,#B]@1Teacher@2Helmetlike device used by the Eymorg women of planet Sigma Draconis VI to temporarily gain technical knowledge and skills.

Tebok entered into a limited agreement with Picard, consenting to share information about the cause of the outposts' destruction, later found to be due to the Borg. (“The Neutral Zone” [TNG]). Marc Alaimo played several other roles; SEE: Badar N'D'D.

The U.S.S. Bozeman was trapped in a temporal causality loop in 2278, emerging 90 years later in 2368. Just prior to the return of the Bozeman, the Enterprise -D was caught in the same causality loop, where it spent some 17.4 days. (“Cause and Effect” [TNG]).

When that ship emerged in 2366, Commander Data noted the rift appeared to resemble a Kerr loop of superstring material. He noted that the rift was not stable and had no discernible event horizon. The rift remained stable long enough for the Enterprise -C to return to its proper place in history. (“Yesterday's Enterprise” [TNG]). SEE: gravimetric fluctuations.

Ten-Forward was enjoyed by most off-duty personnel, and served as the social center of the ship. Ten-Forward featured a bar, tended by Guinan, and numerous tables from which one could enjoy the spectacular vista offered by the windows looking out into space. (“The Child” [TNG]). Although a wide variety of exotic beverages were served in Ten-Forward, most of them used an ingredient called synthehol, an alcohol substitute that avoided some of the unpleasant side effects of alcoholic beverages. (“Relics” [TNG]). Ten-Forward was built after the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was first seen in “The Child” (TNG), the first episode of the second season. The set has been re-dressed to serve as a theatre and a concert hall.

One of three survivors from Sargon's planet after it was destroyed half a million years ago in a devastating war, and the wife of Sargon. Thalassa, and a handful of other survivors of that war were placed into survival canisters, and three of them were revived in 2268 by the crew of the Starship Enterprise. Thalassa and the others temporarily occupied the bodies of Dr. Ann Mulhall, Kirk, and Spock so that they could build android bodies for their intellects. But she eventually realized that the temptations to abuse her superior power inside a living body were too great, so she and her husband opted to face oblivion together. (“Return to Tomorrow” [TOS]).

They gave him extraordinary mental powers so he could survive, but those powers ultimately made him unable to function in human society, so the Thasians were forced to return him to Thasus after his rescue in 2266 by the crew of the science vessel Antares. (“Charlie X” [TOS]).

One popular version of this game uses a board with three 4x4 main boards, and a number of 2x2 secondary boards. Aboard the original Starship Enterprise, both Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock were accomplished three-dimensional-chess players. (“Where No Man Has Gone Before” [TOS]). Three-dimensional chess was the basis for a security code used on the original Enterprise to protect against the possibility of an imposter assuming the identity of a command crew member, especially over voice communications. As of stardate 5718, the code was “queen to queen's level 3,” to which the required response was “queen to king's level 1.” (“Whom Gods Destroy” [TOS]). The game was something of a Starfleet tradition and continued to find favor among the patrons of the Ten-Forward lounge on the Enterprise -D. The three-dimensional chess game in Ten-Forward was based on the game board built for the first Star Trek series, but close examination of some of the chess pieces might reveal a replica of the robot from Lost in Space. That game board has also been seen on Deep Space 9. No official rules were ever developed for this game, although ever-ingenious Star Trek fans have developed several sets of rules for themselves.
