Summary
The LCU Knock A Door Run is an Eccentric. In the near future, it plans to leave the Culture forever. For now, it simply wants to say farewell to some of its oldest friends. With it is Yaska Kalvene, as much an Eccentric as the ship on which she lives. Forever tired of the way things are, she plans to join the ship on its new journey, and hopefully find something that finally catches her interest.
Hrindre Tyu-Vrer hasn't yet learnt how to live again. Within the virtual afterlife of the GSV I Liked It Better This Way Anyway, they work for the Peace Faction's Not Quite Contact department, engaging in diplomatic relations with The Talar, a Level 7 civilisation mentored by The Culture. Yet, as with all things, one cannot simply forget the past. Soon they'll have to come face to face with the trauma that put them on the GSV in the first place.
M'Gale Yvrensk has committed terrible crimes. Itlen-Orretaw, her slap drone, has committed even worse. Taken in by the Hub of Lalyte Orbital, they still haven't truly made peace with their sins. But when the ship where she started her career comes knocking, M'Gale will be forced to come to terms with what she's done.

Before the Death Star can begin its campaign of terror against the Rebel Alliance, the attention of the Empire is diverted to the Unknown Regions, where Imperial forces have recently made contact with an irritatingly governed high-tech civilization calling itself the Culture. In response to the Culture's rebuffs of Imperial demands, the dreaded Death Star has been sent to display the Emperor's disapproval and bring this 'Culture' to its knees.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
This could be a historic moment, the first real contact between the Culture and the people who built the blue box. It had an aura of hidden power, vast knowledge, far travels. It was theorised as a timeship, something far beyond even the Culture's know-how.
And, grief, it was sexy.

Just Another Victim Of The Ambient Morality by LapsedPacifist
Fandoms: The Culture - Iain M. Banks, Star Trek: Enterprise

Summary
Seori never meant for any of this to happen, but if there was one thing he truly knew, it was the fact that the Universe just loved not listening to him.
Because apparently finding himself in an alien prison with no way of contacting the Culture was not bad enough, there was now a human person he was expected to take care of!
He was resigning from Contact, SC and possibly life right after this.

Summary
Lededje inhaled deep. She felt air fill her lungs and then, with all her might so she would be heard over the din, shouted, 'Are you role-playing ancient history because you want to know what it's like to be one of the creaky old boats you insult all the time? What's losing a- a- main mast like? Or a rudder? How many guns would you say you've got? I mean, is it a hundred guns to a single effector field or what? You-'
One of the gunners detached themselves from their post and came over.
'Led, my dear,' Demeisen said to her, brow ridges furrowed in mock despair. 'You're embarrassing.'
