Background information

• This story continues as a sequel to "Winter Wonderland Celebrations" where Qu's Winter Wonderland was first created.
• The first hint of Oroku Seifer's re-infection was explored in Part IV of "Captain's Log".
• Samya references her last encounter with Qu from "The Sound of Q-sic". Qu doesn't make an appearance in this story.
• When Samya mentions the Klingons boarding Earth Spacedock, that is a reference to an in-game bug in Star Trek Online which allowed KDF players to access it the weekend of December 18th, 2015. It also is a reference to Part V of "Captain's Log" where Menchez was part of that group of Klingons.
