I don't believe Geordi becomes first officer. A first officer must stay on the bridge. If Geordi is promoted, who will be responsible for engineering? Nor do I see Data as first officer. He is condemned to be second officer until the big crunch.

Taurik, of course, would become the next chief engineer. He is a long-standing secondary character and already has a potential love-interest, i.e. social character building.
Data would either be promoted for his heroic sacrifice in '79, decades of duty as Lt. Commander, or by simply taking
a single test that earned Troi promotion.

A few questions about content
Doctor Harstad - What book was she introduced in?
Known close parallel universe - What book can I find out more about this universe?
Fellowship of Artificial Intelligence - I assume these are the people that tried to recruit Noonian in Book One. Have they been mentioned in prior books?
Thanks!

A few answers
IIRC, Doctor Tamala Harstad was introduced as chick for Geordi in
Destiny: Gods of Night. No wait, back then he flirted with Mikaela Leishman from the
Aventine... Maybe it was
A Singular Destiny. Sorry, I'm confused.
Hey, avid TrekLit readers, why hasn't anyone of you written a Memory Beta article about Harstad yet?
The known parallel universe is... the
Mirror Universe. The latest book in the MU series,
Rise Like Lions, features jaunt drive starships extensively.
The Fellowship of Artificial Intelligences was first hinted at in
Immortal Coil and appeared first in
The Persistence of Memory.
