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)
“Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
