Non-canon Sequel Stories
This episode has spawned two different sequel adventures in comic books.
- The first was a comic adventure published in 1985. This adventure was set between the third and fourth Star Trek films. In it the Enterprise crew, now on the USS Excelsior, face Redjac a second time. The creature acts against type and uses a female host, Lieutenant Nancy Bryce (a character created for the comic book), to commit its murders. A way is found to free Lt. Bryce and destroy the entity once and for all.
- The second was a comic adventure of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This story assumed the preceding comic adventure never happened. In it the crew of the Enterprise-D face Redjac. Having provoked a planetwide war, Redjac transfers himself into the Enterprise's computer and creates an 1880s style London in the holodeck, abducting various crewmembers to act as his victims. Data, in his Sherlock Holmes persona, rescues some of the crewmembers before confronting Redjac face-to-face. Redjac is tricked into facing Worf in single combat, which focuses all his energy into one location, allowing the crew to transfer him into a storage pod and trap him on a distant moon.

Famous quotes containing the words sequel and/or stories:
“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Every one of my friends had a bad day somewhere in her history she wished she could forget but couldn’t. A very bad mother day changes you forever. Those were the hardest stories to tell. . . . “I could still see the red imprint of his little bum when I changed his diaper that night. I stared at my hand, as if they were alien parts of myself . . . as if they had betrayed me. From that day on, I never hit him again.””
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
