Teaser:
Takes place at Utopia Planitia shipyards just
before Voyager's mission. Capt. Janeway comes aboard Voyager and tours
it with an Admiral as it is under going final preparations for its mission.
While touring the ship she runs into an ensign who is 7 of 9 and she's
in regular Starfleet uniform without her cybernetic implants.
Act 1:
Seven upon seeing Janeway ducks into a the Briefing
Room. She is in contact with Starfleet crew from the future (Lt. Ducane
of the Relativity). They are in search of a temporal disruptor. She reports
that so far she cannot find it. Soon Janeway and the Admiral enter into
the breifing room and asks 7 what she thought of the Briefing room. 7,
who is trying to avoid contact with Janeway, replies that it is an efficient
design. Seven leaves as she tries to avoid any further contact with Janeway.
Janeway and the Admiral continue the tour which includes visiting the Doctor
in his pre-warm-type-of-guy days in the Delta quadrant. Meanwhile 7 is
still trying to find the temporal disruptor runs into Lt. Carey. He basically
tries to pick her up while she's working. He says that he would see her
later and she responds "Unlikely." In this scene she gives her name as
Anna Jameson. She moves off into a
Jeffries tube where she locates a temporal signature
on deck 4 section 39. She removes panel and with her Borg implants
sees the temporal disruptor. She contacts Ducane and informs him that she's
found it but she can't deactivate it as it
is out of temporal phase. She's in the wrong timeframe. They know where
the weapon is but not when it was placed
there. Meanwhile Carey detects an offline EPS relay and Janeway and the
Admiral goes to investigate. through the same
Jeffries tube that 7 is in. The hatch is locked. Janeway and the Admiral
realize that there must be an intruder when
they detect a chronoton flux of .003 from inside the tube and they go on
security alert. 7 realizes that they have detected
her but Relativity can't beam her out as she's too close to the
weapon. The Capt of the Relativity (Capt. Braxton,
the same from "Future's End" then orders Ducane to beam her
out despite his warning that her bionetic implants can be damaged and kill
her. Just as Janeway and the Admiral open
the tube hach from another location, 7 materializes on the Relativity but
then collapses and dies because of the damage
to her implants.
Act 2:
Braxton decides to "recruit" 7 again from the
time line. Ducane warns that this could harm her that she could
suffer temporal psychosis or neural damage. Braxton
replies that she and and all on Voyager will be destroyed if they
don't. They decide to go back to the time just before Voyager is destroyed
by the disruptor. The scene now switches to
the present. Paris challenges 7 to a game of ping pong along with Kim and
Torres. Meanwhile Janeway and a few members
of the crew are coming down with a case of space sickness (maybe related
to the temporal disruptor). Later during the
ping pong game, the ball mysteriously freezes in mid-flight..there's a
mystery to be investigates. This leads to the discovery
that Voyager is fracturing in time and space because of temporal
distortions. The cause is unknown but it is coming from deck 4 section
39 (the same location as in act 1). Janeway
orders 7 and Torres to investigate while Tuvok tries to reinforce the forcefields
to keep Voyager together. Torres and 7 locates
the disruptor but hte crew can't beam it off the ship. Just then the hull
starts to demolecularize and part of the ship
"explodes" in a temporal explosion. Kim detects the chronoton flux of .003
just as Ducane and a couple of his men beam aboard
Voyager to look for 7. Meanwhile 7 and Tores try to escape
the time distortions that are engulfing the ship when Torres vanishes because
of the temporal effects of the disruptor.
Janeway then realizes that the chronton flux is exactly the same that she
detected at the shipyard 5 years ago and knows
that it's not a coincidence. the effect becomes too much and Janeway orders
abandon ship. The ship is destroyed just as
Ducane and his men find 7 and transport her off Voyager.
Act 3:
Braxton explains to 7 where she is (29th Century
on board the Fed. timeship Relativity) and why he needs her (to
use her implants to locate and destroy the device). He also reveals to
her that she had been recruited twice before
and that she had met with "accidents." They now know when the temporal
disruptor was placed...during a battle with
the Kazon. The saboteur infiltrated Voyager during the battle while the
shields were down and the internal sensors
were off line and placed the disruptor. Braxton then orders Ducane to prepare
her for the mission and to educate her about
different time paradoxes (including a Dali Paradox, the Pogo Paradox (7
talks about the example of this when the Enterprise
goes back to stop the Borg from interfering with Zephram Chchrane's
flight in First Contact.) After a final briefing, Braxton transports her
in a Starfleet uniform and with her implants
hidden to Voyager while the ship is under attack by the Kazon.
Act 4:
Voyager is under attack by the Kazon and there
is much confusion all around as 7 heads to engineering and to the
location of the disruptor. Kim detects the chronoton flux of .003 as 7
is beamed aboard. Janeway remembers when she
saw that reading last, two years ago in drydock. Meanwhile, 7 doesn't find
the temporal disruptor nor the saboteur but
she lays a trap in the location that it's supposed to be. Janeway orders
a forcefield around the area that 7 is located.
Seven knows she's been detected and she's been cut off from Ducane and
the Relativity who can't get through to her.
Janeway and security locate 7 and immediately recognizes her as the ensign
who called the briefing room efficient. Janeway
is very skepticle of 7's explination. Ducane and Braxton are listening
in on the conversation hoping that 7 would not reveal
who and what she is. This would corrupt the time line. Tuvok
realizes that she's Borg. Finally 7 tells the entire truth about how she
got there. At the same time alarms go off
on Relativity indicating that the time-line is corrupt because of what
7 had said. Also the trap that 7 had set is
sprung. 7 and Janeway go to investigate and discover that it's and aged
Capt. Braxton that has set the disruptor.
Act 5:
Capt. Braxton is suffering from temporal psychosis
and he blames Capt. Janeway for it. That is why he is sabotaging
Voyager. 7 tries to stop him but Braxton activates the disruptor and disappears.
Relativity tracks the older Braxton to Utopia
Planitia and Relativity sends 7 after him despite the risk to her life
of multiple time transports. 7 chases Braxton
to Voyager at Utopia Planitia right past Janeway and the Admiral. All this
while Relativity is tracking multiple time
line corruptions as 7 is chasing the older Braxton. The older Braxton time
jumps again to present day Voyager. The younger Braxton
orders 7 to jump to that time despite that she's suffering
from temporal narcosis. The younger Braxton is starting to get rattled
by all the time jumps and the
damage to the time line. 7 and the older Braxton
run through the earlier ping-pong game getting everyone's attention
including the present day 7. At this point time travelling 7 is dying because
of the time shifting she going through. Time
travelling 7 explains the situation to her present day counter part and
dies. The younger Braxton decides that Relativity
must intervene directly because of all the damage to the time line and
to the objections of Ducane who is begining
to have deep misgivings about Capt. Braxton's mental state. Meanwhile
Paris and Kim are chasing the older Braxton to the
bridge. Janeway recognizes him. The older Braxton accuses Janeway
of being a threat to the timeline as 7 enters the bridge with a 29th Century
phaser. At this point Relativity appears from
a temporal rift and Capt. Braxton hails Voyager. The older Braxton tries
to convince his
younger self to join him in destroying Voyager.
Ducane then arrests the younger Braxton for crimes that he will
commit. The conflict is resolved. Later Ducane reveals
that he will take both Braxton's back to the 29th Century to
face the problems he had created. Relativity leaves but not before Janeway
asks if they would ever get back to Earth...he
reveals nothing. The epsiode ends with Janeway and 7 trying to figure out
a time paradox which drives them nuts.
