GILLIAN: What are you talking about? I'm coming with you.

KIRK: You can't. Our next stop is the 23rd Century.

GILLIAN: What do I care? I've got nobody but those whales...

"You're going to your ship, I'm going to mine. Science vessel, bound for Mer to recruit some divers to help the whales. Why, the next time you see me, I may have learned to breathe underwater!" She grinned, honestly and completely happy for the first time since Jim had met her. "I've got three hundred years of catchup learning to do," she said.

Many individuals had spoken throughout the morning. Dr. Gillian Taylor, a twentieth-century cetacean biologist who had helped the captain and the Enterprise’s command crew bring a pair of humpback whales into the present in order to avert Earth’s destruction, had recalled meeting Jim, being charmed by him, and at last being enlisted to his cause

It wasn’t God who had summoned the darkness, but a woman named Carol Marcus. Even without God making an appearance, this was Genesis: the birth of life on a lifeless world. The rebirth of a failed project. But no birth is without danger. Lost in the birth-tempest was a young humpbacked whale, named Harpo.

In the observation room of the drift-station Madrigal, Gillian searched the waters and swore.

In the absence of anyone to push the police, a missing person report would probably be filed. Theoretically the file would then be closed several hundred years later when she re-appears.

There are several mentions of her in authorised fiction, both relating to the present day and her future in the 23rd century.

In the story "Whales Weep Not" we learn that her disappearance was reported to the police by her landlady. The novel also confirms that she has no family or significant ties.

“She doesn’t have any family. Only child, you know. Her mother died a couple of years ago. Cancer if I recall.” She scratched at a curler and thought for a minute before adding, “she never talks about her dad. I figure he’s long gone. Only steady boyfriend she had quit coming around when her mom got sick."

and that the police left her case open, in the event that she turned up again.

The case couldn’t officially be closed but that didn’t mean he was going to put any more time into it either. After placating Mrs. Schimmerman with some story he would quietly add the folder to the inactive file. He just hoped that Dr. Gillian Taylor was happy with her whales.
