#Airy reblob#star trek#tng#gif#this guy was interesting#the other two thawed people less so#but he still had really useful skills#he basically did Deanna’s job when he was on the bridge#sensing tension in the Romulans because of his negotiation experience#even if business is no longer big business in the Federation there are plenty of places where it still is#or he could be useful in the diplomatic service
In the novelverse Ralph Offenhouse became a diplomat-at-large! As I recall he was first reintroduced in TNG#30 “Debtor’s Planet” Where he squares off against the Ferengi (this was published when TNG was still on the air)
I don’t remember much from this one as I haven’t read it in near 20 years. But I do remember that he has a top hat! (I want to say he has a cane and cravat too).
Anyway he’s brought back somewhat recently in the cohesive novelverse, still as an ambassador.
Claire Raymond, the “homemaker” was seen both in the second book of The Rise of Khan, where she’s at a conference targeted by terrorists following Khan’s teachings (as I recall). She’s also seen working for the Department of Temporal Investigation ( i want to say in the first DTI book) where what she thinks her vaulted 90s acceptance has prepared her for everything including aliens, she realizes she’s having trouble accepting a gay couple in her extended family and brings her up short. Aliens? sure. Alien interspecies relationships? eeeh.
I think Sonny Clemons got a record out.
