I know that the stardate system was rather inconsistent throughout the franchise (and even from episode to episode sometimes), but that is absolutely not a TNG stardate 🤓
Fun fact, that Stardate puts them just before the original series began, and actually very, very close to the supposed date of Kirk taking command of the Enterprise.
That just reminds me of that one time anomaly episode in which a scene begins with "Captain's log, stardate... I don't even know, time doesn't actually matter right now"
You know, I'm pretty sure I have a spoof novel where the TOS and TNG crews end up sharing a ship, and this exact thing happens. I'll try to remember to look for it tomorrow.
I think the sharing-bridge thing actually comes from the first book in the series, and they start this book sharing, then find the other ship in the course of this novel.

With all the time-traveling going on, it's a perfectly viable date.
We just have to decide if we blame Q or something else.

Bad deal as Helm Control is on starboard side.
More importantly, this splits the captain's chair in half!
The true captain will give up the chair rather than see it cut in half.
Salomon, is that you?
Riker and Picard are both sitting in it uncomfortably at the same time.

Okay, I think I found it. I didn't find my copy, but this is the book I was thinking of.

Can’t you just move it port-wards?
that would be an act or aggression and would only fuel more conflict.
the clear option here is to beam the chair into space with Westley Crusher in it.
They’re both sitting in it
Clever. Have the Klingons deal with the mutineers.
More please

(e.g. Aldebaran Whiskey, Romulan Ale, ...)
The Portside half will speak Portuguese and the Starboard side Spanish.
Ffs, we told you not to bring up nightbird.
