Kimiko was an old lady-friend of Crashdown, who he described as "a lovely little lady in a lovely little city in a lovely little colony that I used to know."
Crashdown tries to convince Sharon Valerii to name a small asteroid after Kimiko as they scan for water throughout adjacent areas of space to the Fleet (Water).
Notes[edit]
- In what is probably a very obscure coincidence, on Ron Moore (who personally wrote "Water")'s old series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in the episode "Honor Among Thieves", while working undercover Miles O'Brien had to bluff his way out of the offer of a call girl as a reward by a gangster, by saying that he already had a girlfriend. When pressed, O'Brien said his girlfriend's name was "Kimiko" (spelled exactly the same way). This is either a very obscure reference by Moore to his old series, or a sign that after over 700 episodes, Star Trek has begun to use every phonetically possible name in existance.
- Kimiko is a female Japanese name. Its presence in Colonial society is interesting, to say the least.
