How did Worf end up back on the Enterprise?

my handwave for my fanfic was the Defiant was sent on a milk-run with Worf in charge and got shanghai'd into the fleet when the Borg showed up.

That's what I always figured. Worf and the Defiant were off doing something else when they had to high-tail it back to Sector 001 to intercept the Borg. The reason Sisko et al. weren't there is because they didn't have a starship on hand to get them there.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

Well, that's incredibly boring. :)

If Sisko disobeyed Admiral Toddman in The Die Is Cast to rescue Odo when he was ordered to keep the Defiant at the station in order to protect Bajor, what could possibly keep him from disobeying Hayes' orders? Picard did and I think that Sisko would. They both needed to give the Borg a little payback.
 
^ I say again: you need to read Enterprises of Great Pitch and Moment. :)
 
Will Slings and Arrows come to paperback? I noticed it's not on the schedule for 2009 and part of 2010...
 
Eventually, yeah, but the earliest we'd see it is 2011. You really should just get the eBook.....

except that all it takes is a freak computer crash and bye bye eBook meaning you have to go buy it again and hope the computer likes you enought to not crash again.
 
^^Sure, you can lose an ebook. You can lose a paper book too, in any number of different ways. You're no less likely to have someone rip off your backpack with your favorite book in it, or to have an electrical short start a fire in your home and burn your bookcase, than you are to have two freak computer crashes in a row.

Besides, there are ebook formats that let you keep backup copies or do free re-downloads of books you've already purchased, so your objection is based on untrue assumptions.

Except eBook vendors let you re-download copies of books you've purchased for precisely this reason. And hey, all it takes is a freak electrical fire or flood and bye bye print book. :)
 
I've got print books that are nearly a hundred years old and are perfectly readable. Can Simon and Schuster guarantee that a DRM-hobbled ebook I buy today will still be readable on whatever platform and software are standard twenty years from now?
 
*sigh* Is there any point in debating the existential merit of print vs. electronic books for the fifty-three millionth time? Electronic books are going to exist from now on. They aren't going away. Their problems can be addressed or solved, and print books have problems too. Ultimately every argument you can muster one way or the other is just a rationalization for personal taste. And there's no sense arguing over personal taste.

eBooks will be great when somebody starts selling PADDs. Until then, it's print for me.

And there really wasn't no explanation for his presence in NEM. He was at Will and Deanna's wedding, after all. What bothered me was that Daniels went missing. I really liked that FC and INS at least made some small attempt to introduce us to other crew members, even if was just a passing thing. NEM just ignored everything.
