For us, time does not exist …. All Earth history has been changed. -Captain James Kirk Module BI-11T: Past Is Present Do you think about the past? Not much? Well, you should. Knowledge of earth history is part of your training for good reason. It’s not just to make you cranky and ill-tempered but also…
This is going to kill our romance. -Chekov Module BI-06T: First Contact This module will discuss the very likely event that “you” will make contact with an alien species for the first time in human existence. Don’t think so? Think all first contacts are made by seasoned starship captains and Earth ambassadors? No, dear naïve…
“An attempt to control human evolution has resulted in a new species, which is lethal to its predecessors. -Dr. Katherine Pulaski Module BI-03T: Augments Augments. Wait! Before you go ballistic, here me out. If you’re not a soulless geneticist with your head in the clouds, you’ll hate this subject more than spending time in a…
“Humans and humanoids make up only a small percentage of the lifeforms we know of.” -Spock Module BI-46T: All God’s Creatures How do I explain something that shouldn’t exist, and, yet, does? Aliens whose forms are utterly unfamiliar. Whose sentience is as foreign to your intelligence as humans’ are to the rampaging, Pergium-slurping rock creatures…

Was he, she, it behaving very unlike themselves? And you thought that, if it were possible, that person could be someone else altogether?…
I Pity The Fool Module BI-22T: Don’t Be Fooled By The Exceptions Remember these alien life-forms? Worf, Seven-of-Nine, Quark, and Data? What’s up, you say? These humanoid-type beings are our friends. Why are they the topics of a “known threats” training module? Individually, they may be friendlies, but, unfortunately, as a whole, they are deceptive representatives of species who…
Temporal Lobotomy Module BI-32V: If You Find Yourself In A Temporal Anomaly I hate temporal mechanics. Hmmm. How do I explain to you, who are primed to go merrily hop-scotching through space, that you may encounter time distortions that could quite possibly erase your very existence? Wait! I know that on the surface, this possibility…
Do you really want to live forever? Module BI-03V: The Lust For Immortality Now I will prepare you for one of the greatest trials you will face in your lifetime. A trial so unlikely but ever so likely; so damnable and, yet, to many, exquisite; a test of will power few will ever face on…
