What Does This Mean?

Why Keller keeps calling Shucorion "Shadow"?

"Another tap. “Shadow, go below and make sure the warps are powered up and the Blood core’s stable. I want to be able to increase speed without any overloads.”"

From "Gateways 2 - The Chainmail".

Again, it's a reference to the first Challenger book. Shucorion is a Blood; he has dark blue skin and wears dark grey. On p. 130, Nick thinks of him as "a shadow come to life."

A nickname based on someone's dark skin color? That seems like... a bad idea.

Not the skin color as such. More like, always wearing dark clothes to go along with it.

Does anyone know what is meant by the underlined phrases?

By the way, you forgot to implement underlining and bolding code as you did in the other copy of your post:

Hi all.

I'm currently reading "Gateways 7 - What Lay Beyond", and I came across this passage:

"Aimless wandering would mean the Resonator might be days away from discovery. He doubted the Alpha Quadrant would wait for days. As it was, he feared the days here already meant suns had gone nova. The worst part was, he had no way of knowing."

Does anyone know what is meant by the underlined phrases?

Thanks in advance.

He became First officer, so he was shadowing Keller's every move? And yeah, dark clothing?

Also alliteration? Sh... shadow, Sh... Shucorion?

Shocked to learn that the woman who wrote a Star Trek story justifying Japanese internment would write a story with some casual racism in it. Shocked, I tell you.

Star Trek story justifying Japanese internment

Yikes, which one was that?

"World of Strangers," the second tale in the Star Trek: Enterprise Logs anthology (the first two of which, both by Carey, were straight historical fiction about real Enterprise captains, this one being a captain of the WWII aircraft carrier of that name).
