On the cusp of their epic battle with Shinzon, many of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's long-time crew were heading for new assignments and new challanges. Among the changes were William Rikers promotion to Captain and his new command. Rikers marriage to Counselor Deanna Troi, and Dr Crusher's new career at Starfleet medical. But the story of what set them on a path away from the Starship Enterprise has never been told.
