    In this alternate universe, Tasha is alive and kicking, both involved with Ro Laren and a member of Picard's Resistance movement.

    In her relationship with Ro, she is obviously the slightly more pessimistic one, a switch on perspectives from our universe. Tasha also seems to be friends with Wesley, rather then a mentor and have a nice rapport between them in the opening issue. Unfortunately, although understandably, that relationship immediately dissolved when he gets Ro killed in his childish mutiny he stages because he's angry with Picard.
