Relativity

00:00:27

You're late. Sorry, sir.

00:00:29

What's the threshold of the H2 molecule?

00:00:31

14.7 electron volts.

00:00:33

Third brightest star in Orion?

00:00:34

Viewed from where? Earth.

00:00:37

Gamma Orionis, or Bellatrix if you prefer the original Arabic name.

00:00:41

Not bad.

00:00:43

Now, give me a hug, Katie.

00:00:44

That's an order.

00:00:46

I wasn't expecting a pop quiz.

00:00:48

Just wanted to make sure all those pips haven't made you forget you're a scientist first.

00:00:52

How could they?

00:00:54

I still have nightmares about your fractal calculus final.

00:00:56

( chuckles )

00:00:57

There's still some work to be done, but once the sawdust clears, I think you'll be impressed.

00:01:03

Voyager may not be as big as a Galaxy-class ship, but she's quick and smart--

00:01:08

Like her Captain.

00:01:09

700,000 metric tons,

00:01:11

15 decks, computer systems augmented with bio-neural circuitry.

00:01:16

Top cruising speed-- Warp 9.975.

00:01:17

Deck 1.

00:01:19

Of course, I expect to get that up another notch or two.

00:01:22

Sounds like you already know your ship pretty well.

00:01:24

I've been buried in Voyager's schematics for the past three months.

00:01:27

I could walk the corridors blindfolded.

00:01:30

You might not want to shut your eyes just yet.

00:01:34

Captain on the Bridge.

00:01:37

As you were.

00:01:42

It's bigger than I expected.

00:01:43

Schematics never fully prepare you for the real thing.

00:01:52

Try it on.

00:02:02

Don't get too comfortable.

00:02:03

I have more to show you.

00:02:15

Your home away from home.

00:02:18

Coffee?

00:02:19

Oh, no, thanks.

00:02:21

Coffee. Black.

00:02:26

Any word from Tuvok?

00:02:28

Not yet.

00:02:30

Shouldn't he have made contact by now?

00:02:32

We know he's aboard Chakotay's ship.

00:02:34

He's probably decided not to risk exposure until he has to.

00:02:37

Catching up with him in the Badlands is going to be tricky, even in a ship as quick and smart as Voyager.

00:02:43

I've heard about a pilot who might make the job easier.

00:02:46

Who's that?

00:02:48

Tom Paris.

00:02:50

Admiral Paris's son?

00:02:52

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's serving a sentence for...

00:02:56

He's made some mistakes.

00:03:00

But everybody deserves a second chance.

00:03:05

I'll look into it.

00:03:09

If it's not too late,

00:03:10

I'd like to recalibrate the navigational sensors.

00:03:12

I think I can enhance the range.

00:03:14

Your coffee's not even cold, you're already making changes.

00:03:17

Excuse us, Ensign.

00:03:19

I like a ship that knows where it's going.

00:03:21

I assure you, Voyager has the best sensors in the fleet.

00:03:24

There's always room for improvement.

00:05:15

( indistinct conversation )

00:05:27

The Bridge is clear. There's no sign of the weapon.

00:05:30

MALE: Continue scanning.

00:05:31

Acknowledged.

00:05:36

Your briefing room.

00:05:38

Starfleet's most up-to-date vessel and they still can't design a comfortable place to hold a meeting.

00:05:44

What do you think, Ensign?

00:05:45

Captain?

00:05:47

What's your opinion of this room?

00:05:51

It is an efficient design.

00:05:53

Well, there you have it, Admiral.

00:05:56

It's efficient. I must be wrong.

00:05:59

Carry on.

00:06:11

We've added a new system we're thinking of installing throughout the fleet.

00:06:15

The Emergency Medical Hologram.

00:06:17

I'm up-to-date. Computer, activate EMH.

00:06:20

Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

00:06:21

It's programmed with over four million surgical procedures.

00:06:25

Five million and the medical knowledge of over 3,000 cultures.

00:06:29

Impressive.

00:06:30

Did you call me to chitchat or is there an actual emergency?

00:06:33

His personality could use some work.

00:06:35

I'm designed to practice medicine as efficiently as possible.

00:06:38

Small talk only compromises my performance.

00:06:41

Thank you, Doctor.

00:06:42

Computer, deactivate EMH.

00:06:48

Thank you.

00:07:00

Hello.

00:07:01

Sir.

00:07:03

Lieutenant Carey.

00:07:04

I don't think we've met.

00:07:07

Jameson, Anna.

00:07:08

Service number 860790.

00:07:10

I'm not security.

00:07:12

I'm just... trying to get to know all the new faces around here.

00:07:18

What are you working on?

00:07:19

I am attempting to realign the EPS manifolds.

00:07:23

Do you need a hand?

00:07:25

No.

00:07:26

Well, maybe I'll see you in the Mess Hall later.

00:07:28

Unlikely.

00:07:30

Hmm?

00:07:31

I am not a member of Voyager's crew.

00:07:33

I'm on assignment here at Utopia Planitia.

00:07:35

Too bad.

00:07:36

Well... next time I'm in the neighborhood,

00:07:40

I'll drop by and say hello.

00:07:59

I wish Starfleet would give me more than three weeks.

00:08:01

With a little more time, we could really explore the Badlands.

00:08:03

You haven't changed a bit.

00:08:07

Main Engineering.

00:08:08

Class-9 warp drive, tricyclic input manifold.

00:08:14

You'll be the first to test it in deep space.

00:08:32

I've localized the temporal distortions--

00:08:35

Deck 4, Section 39.

00:09:03

I've found the weapon.

00:09:05

MALE: Begin the procedure.

00:09:14

( console beeping )

00:09:18

Problem?

00:09:20

One of the EPS relays just went off-line.

00:09:23

Voyager's first malfunction.

00:09:25

I'm sorry, Captain.

00:09:27

I tested those systems this morning.

00:09:29

As you were, Lieutenant.

00:09:30

I've been looking forward to getting my hands dirty.

00:09:33

Hmm.

00:09:43

The weapon is out of phase.

00:09:45

You've sent me to the wrong time frame.

00:09:47

MALE: At least we know where the weapon was placed.

00:09:50

Now we have to determine when.

00:09:56

This hatch is locked from the inside.

00:09:58

This isn't a secure area.

00:09:59

None of these hatches should be sealed.

00:10:01

I'm reading some kind of chroniton flux.

00:10:04

Chronitons?

00:10:05

It's coming from inside this Jefferies tube.

00:10:08

Patterson to Security. Seal off Deck 4.

00:10:12

( beeping )

00:10:14

I've been detected. I must leave.

00:10:16

There's too much interference from the weapon.

00:10:18

Recalibrate your temporal transport beacon.

00:10:20

Understood.

00:10:21

We can access Section 39 through here.

00:10:29

MALE 2: Scramble the locking mechanism before they get in.

00:10:32

Hurry. They're approaching your coordinates.

00:10:34

You'll need to reset the command controls.

00:10:37

MALE: Stand by. We're trying to get you out of there.

00:10:57

MALE 2: It's time.

00:10:58

Pull her out.

00:11:00

There's too much interference. If I transport her now, we'll damage her bionetic implants.

00:11:03

If we don't, Captain Janeway's going to find her.

00:11:05

It'll contaminate the timeline.

00:11:06

Sir... Now.

00:11:10

MALE: Temporal transport in progress.

00:11:28

Question, Admiral.

00:11:29

What causes a chroniton flux of .003?

00:11:33

I don't know.

00:11:35

Neither do I, but whoever or whatever it was... it's gone now.

00:11:46

MALE: The subject is approaching the temporal threshold.

00:12:06

I told you this was going to happen.

00:12:08

She's dead.

00:12:25

Any luck reviving her?

00:12:26

No, sir.

00:12:28

We'll have to recruit her again.

00:12:29

Sir, a fourth jump, she could suffer neural damage--

00:12:32

Even temporal psychosis.

00:12:34

Unless we repair the timeline, she's going to die.

00:12:36

We're giving her another chance to save her crew and herself.

00:12:39

We'll go back and retrieve Seven of Nine a microsecond before the explosion.

00:12:42

That way no one will notice she's gone.

00:12:45

Tempus fugit, Lieutenant.

00:12:47

Raise shields.

00:12:49

Time frame-- Stardate 52861.274. Delta Quadrant.

00:12:55

Spatial coordinates-- 87-Theta by 271.

00:13:01

Target-- USS Voyager.

00:13:09

Follow the light to the left, right, and up, and down.

00:13:22

Hmm.

00:13:27

I ran a complete self-diagnostic.

00:13:30

Mm-hmm?

00:13:31

At first, I thought my ocular implants were malfunctioning.

00:13:35

However, after consulting the Starfleet medical database,

00:13:38

I realize it's a flaw in my human physiology.

00:13:40

Specifically?

00:13:43

I'm experiencing dizziness, double vision.

00:13:44

After considering all potential environmental and genetic factors,

00:13:48

I've concluded that I am suffering from Albright-Salzman syndrome.

00:13:51

A rare neurological condition that hasn't affected a single human being for over two centuries.

00:13:57

Unlikely.

00:13:59

Human physiology is imperfect--

00:14:01

Susceptible to a variety of disorders.

00:14:03

True, but in this instance, we can safely say you're suffering from a mild case of sensory aphasia... a minor disruption to your neuro-receptors.

00:14:12

Neither rare, nor life-threatening.

00:14:14

Apparently I was in need of a second opinion.

00:14:17

That's the danger of self-diagnosis--

00:14:20

Patients always assume the worst.

00:14:22

This should clear it up.

00:14:30

How do things look now?

00:14:31

Normal.

00:14:33

Doctor, please report to Sick Bay.

00:14:35

On my way.

00:14:37

Next time your human physiology fails you, don't consult the database.

00:14:40

Just call me.

00:14:42

You are the database.

00:14:44

With two legs and a splendid bedside manner.

00:14:56

A curious exercise.

00:14:58

Yeah, Ping-Pong.

00:15:00

You should try it.

00:15:01

It's a great test of hand-eye coordination.

00:15:04

I don't require testing.

00:15:06

Yeah, so the Doc tells me--

00:15:07

A visual acuity index of 99.6.

00:15:12

You know, you'd be great at this game.

00:15:14

Why don't you be my partner in the doubles tournament tonight?

00:15:17

Chapman was supposed to play, but he's come down with a nasty case of space sickness.

00:15:21

I'm busy.

00:15:22

Oh.

00:15:24

Too bad.

00:15:25

Well, I guess I'll have to tell B'Elanna that you thought you couldn't beat her.

00:15:28

You're attempting to appeal to my vanity.

00:15:31

Is it working?

00:15:33

I will consider your request.

00:15:35

It's yes or no, Seven-- The tournament's tonight.

00:15:41

Yes.

00:15:42

Great.

00:15:43

Meet me in the Mess Hall at 1900 hours.

00:15:45

We'll get in a little practice first.

00:15:53

Captain, you don't look well.

00:15:55

Come in, please.

00:15:57

I'm sure it's nothing serious.

00:15:58

Symptoms?

00:15:59

Nausea, dizziness.

00:16:02

It looks like a simple case of space sickness--

00:16:04

The third one I've treated today.

00:16:06

That's odd. We haven't run into any turbulence.

00:16:08

It's possible the inertial dampers are out of alignment.

00:16:11

Even so, I've been on some pretty rough rides.

00:16:13

It's never affected me like this.

00:16:15

It happens to everyone.

00:16:17

20 milligrams of inaprovaline should restore your space legs.

00:16:21

I'll check the dampers.

00:16:22

Double-check your bio-readings.

00:16:23

See if there's another explanation.

00:16:25

( groans )

00:16:38

Point, server.

00:16:39

It's all in the wrist.

00:16:41

Score?

00:16:43

19-18.

00:16:55

Say good night, Harry.

00:17:02

What do you call that shot?

00:17:05

I'm reading temporal distortions.

00:17:27

Report. The temporal distortions are fracturing space-time throughout the ship.

00:17:31

Cause? Unknown.

00:17:33

They appear to be emanating from Deck 4, Section 39.

00:17:35

We've already erected force fields, but they're not having much effect.

00:17:39

If we can't find a way to stop them, they'll tear the ship apart.

00:17:42

How much time do we have?

00:17:43

Two hours, at most.

00:17:45

Go to Deck 4 and find out what we're dealing with.

00:17:47

Let's see if we can find a way to enhance the force fields.

00:17:55

An injection a day keeps space sickness away.

00:17:58

You try to be funny after treating 37 cases of nausea.

00:18:02

Janeway to Sick Bay. Go ahead.

00:18:03

We've found the source of our epidemic--

00:18:05

Temporal distortions.

00:18:07

I was beginning to suspect some kind of anomaly.

00:18:09

I've designed a treatment that seems to be inhibiting the symptoms.

00:18:12

Keep me posted. Aye, Captain.

00:18:14

NEELIX: Neelix to the Doctor.

00:18:16

I've got a medical emergency in the Mess Hall.

00:18:17

Ensign Mannus is violently ill.

00:18:20

On my way.

00:18:21

Take over here.

00:18:27

Doctor, shall I whip you up a photonic snack?

00:18:29

Where's the medical emergency?

00:18:31

I hope you're not referring to this pot roast.

00:18:33

You called me a few minutes ago.

00:18:34

You said Ensign Mannus was ill.

00:18:36

I did? Yes.

00:18:37

Ensign Mannus is right over there.

00:18:39

He came in an hour ago.

00:18:40

He looks perfectly norm...

00:18:50

Acute space sickness.

00:18:52

Good thing you were here.

00:18:53

I wouldn't have been, if you hadn't...

00:18:56

Temporal distortions.

00:18:58

Doctor?

00:18:59

This is all starting to make sense.

00:19:03

In Sick Bay, it's 1500 hours, 43 minutes, but in the Mess Hall, it's 1536.

00:19:11

Seven minutes earlier.

00:19:13

I did get a call from you.

00:19:15

You just haven't made it yet.

00:19:20

Coffee, black.

00:19:23

( door chimes )

00:19:25

Come in.

00:19:26

Before you say anything, let me remind you what happens to bearers of bad news.

00:19:30

Don't kill the messenger.

00:19:32

Go ahead, fire.

00:19:33

It looks like these space-time fractures are growing stronger.

00:19:35

We're detecting temporal paradoxes throughout the ship.

00:19:37

Paradoxes?

00:19:39

Internal chronometers show it's 0600 on Deck 9 and 0605 on Deck 13.

00:19:44

Time's passing more quickly in some parts of the ship and slowing down in others.

00:19:49

Maybe that explains why this coffee tastes like it's three days old.

00:19:52

The same thing's been happening in the Mess Hall.

00:19:54

Food replicated less than an hour ago is already spoiled.

00:19:57

I've been working on a way to enhance our containment fields to keep the fractures from spreading.

00:20:01

I'll get a team on it right away.

00:20:04

In the meantime, we should evacuate the affected areas.

00:20:07

See to it.

00:20:08

There's one other problem.

00:20:09

Turbolifts...Turbolifts... 2 and 3...

00:20:11

2 and 3 are off-line... are off-line... so we've been using... so we've been using... the Jefferies tube.

00:20:14

...using the Jefferies tube.

00:20:23

Captain?

00:20:24

There's a temporal distortion intersecting this room.

00:20:26

It's expanding.

00:20:28

Time to test your new containment fields.

00:20:33

This is where they're coming from.

00:20:35

I still can't tell what's causing them.

00:20:46

What is it?

00:20:47

A piece of technology.

00:20:49

It's emitting temporal distortions.

00:20:52

Why can't I see it?

00:20:54

My ocular implant can detect irregularities in space-time.

00:20:58

Torres to Bridge.

00:20:59

We've found the problem.

00:21:01

There's some kind of device in Junction Beta-28.

00:21:04

Beam it off the ship.

00:21:06

I can't get a lock.

00:21:08

The distortions are beginning to demolecularize the hull.

00:21:14

Hull breach-- Ventral Section 14.

00:21:18

( alarm bleeping )

00:21:24

Captain, I'm picking up a strange reading on Deck 4.

00:21:26

What kind of reading?

00:21:28

It's a chroniton flux-- .003.

00:21:29

CHAKOTAY: More distortions?

00:21:31

I don't think so.

00:21:37

Dry dock.

00:21:38

Ma'am?

00:21:40

The first time I saw these readings was... five years ago?

00:21:44

Voyager was still in dry dock.

00:21:46

Same readings, same location.

00:21:47

What caused them?

00:21:49

I never found out.

00:21:54

We're losing structural integrity.

00:21:56

Multiple breaches-- All decks.

00:21:58

Emergency systems are failing.

00:22:00

The distortions are ripping us apart.

00:22:02

We have to abandon ship.

00:22:07

All hands, this is the Captain.

00:22:09

Proceed to the escape pods and abandon ship.

00:22:12

Repeat: Abandon ship.

00:22:14

Program the pods for a heading of 178 mark 4.

00:22:18

We'll rendezvous in orbit of an M-Class planet

00:22:20

at those coordinates.

00:22:22

Repeat: All hands,

00:22:24

proceed to the escape pods and abandon ship.

00:22:32

Identify yourselves.

00:22:34

No time.

00:22:45

( sighs )

00:23:04

Welcome back.

00:23:06

Why have you brought me here?

00:23:07

For some reason, I always think you'll remember.

00:23:10

I'm Captain Braxton.

00:23:12

This is Lieutenant Ducane.

00:23:13

You're aboard the Federation Timeship Relativity.

00:23:16

I'm no longer in the 24th century.

00:23:18

No.

00:23:20

For you, it's almost 500 years later.

00:23:22

We've brought you here to help us solve a mystery.

00:23:24

Someone-- We don't know who--

00:23:26

Has planted a weapon aboard Voyager.

00:23:28

It's designed to fracture space-time within a radius of 150 meters.

00:23:32

Why do you need me?

00:23:34

Your ocular implant.

00:23:35

It can detect disruptions in space-time better than our sensors.

00:23:39

BRAXTON: You're more familiar with Voyager and her crew, less likely to arouse suspicion.

00:23:46

So far you've been quite useful. So far?

00:23:50

We've recruited you twice before for this mission.

00:23:52

Take a look.

00:23:58

A force-3 temporal disrupter.

00:24:00

Your previous attempts to disable it have been unsuccessful.

00:24:03

DUCANE: We're trying to catch the saboteur before he places the weapon on Voyager.

00:24:07

Do you have a suspect?

00:24:09

Not yet.

00:24:10

Do you know when the device was placed?

00:24:12

Not precisely, but we've narrowed the window to a period two years before you joined the crew when the ship was under attack.

00:24:20

Species 329-- The Kazon.

00:24:22

Our database indicates that Voyager was boarded twice during that period.

00:24:26

The Kazon are an inferior species.

00:24:27

They don't possess the technology to create such a complex weapon.

00:24:30

We believe the saboteur infiltrated this time frame because Voyager's shields were down.

00:24:35

It was the perfect opportunity to evade detection.

00:24:39

If I fail, you will recruit me again.

00:24:41

If necessary.

00:24:43

But this will be the third time you're going to be removed from your time frame.

00:24:47

If we do it a fourth, there could be certain... side effects. Side effects.

00:24:52

You might experience sensory aphasia.

00:24:55

It affects the cerebral cortex and can lead to temporal psychosis.

00:24:59

But in your case, we're hoping third time's a charm, eh?

00:25:02

I'll do my best.

00:25:04

Bring her up to date on our protocols.

00:25:05

Aye, sir.

00:25:07

When you're finished here, meet me in Holo-Matrix 1.

00:25:10

I've prepared a simulation.

00:25:17

DUCANE: Let's see how much you've assimilated.

00:25:19

The Dali Paradox?

00:25:21

Also known as the melting clock effect.

00:25:23

It refers to a temporal fissure which slows the passage of time to a gradual halt.

00:25:27

The Pogo Paradox?

00:25:29

A causality loop in which interference to prevent an event actually triggers the same event.

00:25:33

Excellent.

00:25:35

Can you give me an example?

00:25:36

The Borg once traveled back in time to stop Zephram Cochrane from breaking the warp barrier.

00:25:41

They succeeded, but that, in turn, led the Starship Enterprise to intervene.

00:25:45

They assisted Cochrane with the flight the Borg were trying to prevent.

00:25:50

Causal loop complete.

00:25:51

So in a way, the Federation owes its existence to the Borg?

00:25:54

You're welcome.

00:25:55

The Seven of Nine Paradox.

00:25:57

I beg your pardon?

00:25:59

How we do know that my presence on Voyager will not alter the timeline?

00:26:03

You know, you've asked me this every time?

00:26:06

What's been your response?

00:26:07

That uncertainty is part of the equation.

00:26:10

We don't know what's going to happen.

00:26:12

I don't enjoy uncertainty.

00:26:15

Neither do I, but I trust Captain Braxton's instincts just as you trust Captain Janeway's.

00:26:22

BRAXTON: This is a simulation of Junction 49 on Voyager's fourth deck.

00:26:26

Thanks to you, we've learned that the temporal disrupter was, and will be, concealed here.

00:26:30

I gave up trying to keep my tenses straight years ago.

00:26:35

How will I disarm it?

00:26:36

You've already tried... unsuccessfully.

00:26:39

The weapon's out of phase.

00:26:41

You'll have to find the saboteur before he plants it.

00:26:44

This will detect any chroniton flux other than your own, and I'm authorizing you to use whatever force may be necessary.

00:26:51

Understood.

00:26:53

One more thing-- Watch out for the Janeway factor.

00:26:57

I am not familiar with that protocol.

00:26:59

Your Captain has a knack for sticking her nose where it doesn't belong, especially when it comes to time travel.

00:27:06

Captain Janeway is quite resourceful.

00:27:07

Has it occurred to you that she may be helpful?

00:27:10

Helpful? That woman has been responsible for three major temporal incursions.

00:27:14

No doubt creating numerous paradoxes.

00:27:16

And who do you think had to repair the damage? Me.

00:27:19

She's reckless; she has no regard for the integrity of the timeline.

00:27:24

I asked for her help once.

00:27:25

She refused, and I ended up stranded in the late 20th century.

00:27:28

Have you ever been to that time frame?

00:27:30

No.

00:27:32

Well, I don't recommend it.

00:27:34

After three decades with those post-industrial barbarians,

00:27:38

I had to go through extensive rehabilitation before I could return to duty.

00:27:42

Avoid contact with Janeway.

00:27:44

That's an order.

00:27:46

Yes... sir.

00:27:53

This will occlude your Borg implants.

00:27:56

Ready?

00:27:58

Yes.

00:27:59

We have a saying in our line of work:

00:28:01

"There's no time like the past."

00:28:03

Raise shields.

00:28:04

Time frame-- Stardate 49123.5621. Delta Quadrant.

00:28:09

Spatial coordinates-- 21 Alpha Prime by 936 Zeta.

00:28:14

Target-- USS Voyager.

00:28:20

CHAKOTAY: All hands to battle stations.

00:28:21

We're under attack.

00:28:23

Repeat: All hands to battle stations.

00:28:50

Return fire.

00:28:52

They're dropping spatial charges.

00:28:54

Evasive maneuvers.

00:28:59

Shields down to 20 percent.

00:29:00

Another Kazon ship is approaching.

00:29:06

Janeway to Engineering. We need warp engines.

00:29:08

I can't give them to you--

00:29:09

Not until I've repaired the containment generator.

00:29:11

Time?

00:29:13

I'll need ten minutes, at least.

00:29:14

( console beeping )

00:29:16

Captain, I'm picking up a strange reading on Deck 4.

00:29:18

What kind of reading?

00:29:20

It's a chroniton flux-- .003.

00:29:26

Any idea what's causing it?

00:29:28

Not yet.

00:29:31

It could be random interference from Kazon weapons fire. I don't think so.

00:29:36

I've seen these readings before.

00:29:56

There's no sign of the weapon.

00:29:58

Any uninvited guests?

00:30:01

Not yet.

00:30:04

The lead vessel's been disabled; the others are regrouping.

00:30:07

B'Elanna, status? Warp drive's on line,

00:30:10

but the containment field's still unstable.

00:30:12

Warp 2 is the best I can give you.

00:30:14

I'll take it.

00:30:15

Engage.

00:30:25

They're not pursuing.

00:30:27

Dry dock.

00:30:28

Ma'am?

00:30:30

The first time I saw these readings was over two years ago when Voyager was in dry dock.

00:30:35

Same readings, same location.

00:30:37

What caused them?

00:30:39

I never found out. The signal vanished before we could isolate it.

00:30:42

Erect a level-10 force field around that section.

00:30:44

Is this really the time to be chasing sensor ghosts?

00:30:47

Something tells me this is more than a coincidence.

00:30:49

Seal off Deck 4. Tuvok, you're with me.

00:30:54

( alarm beeping )

00:30:58

They've erected force fields around my location.

00:31:01

I may have been detected.

00:31:02

How shall I proceed?

00:31:03

( faint static )

00:31:06

Lieutenant, respond.

00:31:07

What's wrong?

00:31:08

The force fields are blocking our transmissions.

00:31:10

Compensate.

00:31:13

Seven of Nine, report.

00:31:15

SEVEN: Relativity, are you there?

00:31:16

It's no use, sir; she can't hear us.

00:31:30

I don't believe we've been introduced, Ensign.

00:31:34

Lower the force field.

00:31:37

I stand corrected.

00:31:38

We have met.

00:31:40

Utopia Planitia.

00:31:41

The briefing room.

00:31:43

You told me it was "efficient."

00:31:45

Janeway...

00:31:47

You've mistaken me for someone else.

00:31:48

Oh, I don't think so.

00:31:50

So here you are, two years later on the other side of the galaxy.

00:31:54

Imagine that.

00:31:55

You are preventing me from completing a vital mission.

00:31:58

Who are you, and what are you doing on my ship?

00:32:00

Don't say anything.

00:32:02

She can't hear you, sir.

00:32:04

My designation is irrelevant, but I assure you I have no hostile intentions.

00:32:07

Somehow, I don't find that very comforting.

00:32:09

Are you working with the Kazon?

00:32:11

No, I am not.

00:32:12

I'm detecting biomechanical implants.

00:32:14

They have a Borg signature.

00:32:17

Janeway to the Bridge.

00:32:18

Scan the vicinity for Borg ships.

00:32:20

CHAKOTAY: Did you say Borg? Do it.

00:32:22

You will find none.

00:32:23

Then how did you get here?

00:32:24

I'm no longer Borg.

00:32:27

Then who are you?

00:32:30

I can't answer your questions.

00:32:32

Good. JANEWAY: Why not?

00:32:33

It would be a violation of the Temporal Prime Directive.

00:32:36

You're from another time?

00:32:38

Yes.

00:32:40

No... JANEWAY: Who sent you?

00:32:42

I can't tell you that.

00:32:44

I would be risking damage to the timeline.

00:32:45

I don't care if history itself comes unraveled.

00:32:47

I want to know why you're on my ship.

00:32:49

( beeping )

00:32:52

What's that?

00:32:53

You must release me.

00:32:55

Why?

00:32:57

Voyager is in grave danger.

00:33:00

So we've noticed.

00:33:01

Not from the Kazon, from an act of sabotage.

00:33:03

I've been sent here to stop it.

00:33:06

The intruder has already boarded the ship.

00:33:08

Please, your lives depend on it.

00:33:10

You're not going anywhere until you tell me what's happening.

00:33:15

My name is Seven of Nine. I'm a member of your crew--

00:33:17

Rather, I will be a member of your crew.

00:33:20

I've traveled back in time to try to prevent a disaster

00:33:22

that will destroy Voyager.

00:33:23

Get her out of there. I'm trying.

00:33:27

Let's see if I've got this straight.

00:33:29

You're a Borg drone attempting to prevent a disaster that won't occur for another three years.

00:33:35

Three years, six months, and two days.

00:33:39

Does this make any sense to you?

00:33:41

Like most time paradoxes, it's implausible, but not necessarily illogical.

00:33:45

Captain... when you take me from the Borg, you are going to tell me that part of being human is learning to trust.

00:33:53

Trust me. Now.

00:34:04

Lower the force field.

00:34:11

Seven of Nine to Braxton. Respond.

00:34:14

Stay where you are. We're pulling you out.

00:34:16

That would be unwise. I am pursuing the saboteur... with Captain Janeway's assistance.

00:34:22

Tempus fugit.

00:34:27

Proceed.

00:34:29

Yes, sir.

00:34:31

The intruder is in Junction 52 Beta.

00:34:34

Take the starboard hatch.

00:34:35

Aye, Captain.

00:34:44

Captain Braxton...

00:34:55

Lower the temporal disruptor.

00:34:57

It's armed.

00:34:59

I'll activate it.

00:35:01

Lower your weapons.

00:35:07

Janeway...

00:35:09

Have we met?

00:35:11

Too many times, but you wouldn't remember.

00:35:13

They haven't occurred yet.

00:35:14

BRAXTON: Seven of Nine, report.

00:35:16

I have located the saboteur.

00:35:18

Who is it?

00:35:20

It's you, Captain Braxton.

00:35:22

Me? More accurately, a future you.

00:35:24

Now, let me complete our mission.

00:35:27

Our mission? I don't know what you're talking about.

00:35:31

Listen very carefully.

00:35:33

The circumstances of your life are going to change in the next few years.

00:35:37

You'll be sent into rehabilitation again, forced to retire.

00:35:41

And it's all because of Voyager.

00:35:43

Captain, I believe your future self is suffering from temporal psychosis.

00:35:48

Well, of course, I am, you pedantic drone.

00:35:51

The only way for me... for us to recover is to obliterate Voyager from the timeline.

00:35:55

That way, none of the events that caused this illness will have occurred. What events?

00:36:00

30 years of exile on 20th century Earth, the temporal inversion in the Takara Sector, three violations that I had to repair.

00:36:11

Can you get a lock on him?

00:36:13

DUCANE: Negative. He's activated a dispersal node.

00:36:15

I should say... you've activated a dispersal node.

00:36:19

Don't be absurd.

00:36:21

I have no wish to sabotage Voyager.

00:36:23

Not yet.

00:36:24

Remodulate the transporters.

00:36:26

Find a way to cut through the interference.

00:36:31

I gave you an order, Lieutenant.

00:36:33

I'm sorry, sir.

00:36:35

I'm taking command of this vessel... and I'm relieving you of duty for crimes... you're going to commit.

00:36:42

I haven't done anything.

00:36:45

Seven of Nine...

00:36:46

apprehend Braxton.

00:36:51

No.

00:36:57

Relativity, he's escaped.

00:36:59

I'm tracking him.

00:37:00

He's traveled to another time frame... two years earlier.

00:37:04

Transport me to those coordinates.

00:37:06

That would be your fourth jump.

00:37:08

I am aware of the risks.

00:37:11

Stand by.

00:37:13

Thank you for your assistance.

00:37:28

( groans )

00:37:37

There's still some work to be done, but, uh, once the sawdust clears,

00:37:41

I think you'll be impressed.

00:37:43

Voyager may not be as big as a Galaxy-class ship, but she's...

00:37:49

Take cover!

00:37:54

Security, report to Deck 4, Section 12.

00:37:57

Erect force fields around all access points.

00:38:01

Is this part of the tour?

00:38:09

( grunts )

00:38:15

( groans )

00:38:27

SEVEN OF NINE: I've lost him. He's still on Voyager,

00:38:29

but he's gone five years ahead.

00:38:33

Initiate transport.

00:38:51

Point, server.

00:38:52

It's all in the wrist.

00:38:55

Score?

00:38:56

19-18.

00:39:00

Who are you?

00:39:07

Bridge, intruder alert, Deck 2.

00:39:12

( groans )

00:39:24

Explain.

00:39:25

No time. You must apprehend him.

00:39:27

He's trying to destroy Voyager.

00:39:29

DUCANE: Seven of Nine, status.

00:39:31

I am incapacitated-- It's sensory aphasia.

00:39:33

Stand by.

00:39:34

I'm pulling you out.

00:39:36

Stop him.

00:39:38

Your future depends on it.

00:39:51

Braxton?

00:39:53

I disabled his tricorder.

00:39:55

He's trapped there.

00:39:56

Seven of Nine is pursuing him.

00:39:58

She is efficient.

00:40:00

She will succeed.

00:40:01

Let's hope so... because we've run out of options.

00:40:15

You again.

00:40:17

I don't believe we've met, Ensign.

00:40:22

No, I'm wrong.

00:40:23

We have met.

00:40:26

Captain Braxton.

00:40:28

Not anymore.

00:40:29

I've lost my rank, thanks to you.

00:40:32

Seven of Nine to Seven of Nine. What's your status?

00:40:35

We've apprehended Braxton.

00:40:37

How shall we proceed?

00:40:39

Stand by.

00:40:52

Long time no see.

00:41:00

Are you all right, Seven?

00:41:01

I believe we've just prevented

00:41:04

Voyager's destruction.

00:41:06

Would you care to explain how you...

00:41:23

The Timeship Relativity.

00:41:26

We need your help.

00:41:28

This Seven of Nine stopped Braxton, but she created several temporal incursions along the way.

00:41:32

She instigated a phaser fight at Utopia Planitia; she was seen by you and Lieutenant Tuvok two years before she joined your crew; and she interacted with her past self in front of 15 crew members at a Ping-Pong tournament approximately six minutes ago--

00:41:47

Your time frame, of course.

00:41:49

Of course.

00:41:50

Needless to say, we need to clean up the timeline.

00:41:53

Someone must go back to the beginning and prevent the chain of events from occurring in the first place.

00:41:58

I can't make another jump without damaging myself.

00:42:03

I get the feeling I'm about to be drafted.

00:42:06

In exchange for leniency, Captain Braxton informs us of the precise moment he boarded Voyager to plant the weapon.

00:42:12

We'll be sending you to stop him.

00:42:13

Tell her.

00:42:15

Deck 4, Section 38.

00:42:17

I'll stumble over a wounded crew member.

00:42:19

That will be your chance to capture me.

00:42:21

Don't miss it, or we'll have to do this all over again.

00:42:25

Wait a minute, let me get this straight.

00:42:27

I'm going back in time to stop Braxton...

00:42:32

But you already have him.

00:42:34

And there's a third one in our brig.

00:42:36

I arrested him earlier today.

00:42:38

But don't worry. They'll all be reintegrated in time for the trial.

00:42:45

And Seven?

00:42:46

Oh, I assure you when all this is over, there'll be just one Seven of Nine.

00:42:51

All right. Let's get started before my headache gets any worse.

00:43:02

TORRES: Captain, a Kazon torpedo just blew out the containment generator.

00:43:07

Do you want me to reroute emergency power or take the warp core off-line? Use your best judgment.

00:43:11

I thought you were on your way to the Bridge.

00:43:13

I have to take care of something first.

00:43:15

Now, get moving, Lieutenant.

00:43:26

( doors open, close )

00:43:30

JANEWAY: Send damage control teams to Decks 9 through 14.

00:43:33

Seal the breaches if you can.

00:43:34

I'll be on the Bridge.

00:43:36

Keep me informed.

00:43:37

Yes, ma'am.

00:43:54

Come here often?

00:44:05

Incursion factor-- .0036.

00:44:09

That's better than I expected.

00:44:12

Glad we could lend a hand.

00:44:15

When do we go home?

00:44:16

You'll both be returned to your time frame.

00:44:18

You'll be reintegrated with the other Seven of Nine.

00:44:21

Since none of your time-jumps were to your foreseeable future-- Only the past--

00:44:26

I see no reason to resequence your memory engrams.

00:44:28

But remember the Temporal Prime Directive.

00:44:31

Discuss your experiences with no one.

00:44:32

Understood.

00:44:38

Oh, Captain...

00:44:40

Braxton was right about one thing--

00:44:42

Voyager shows up on our sensors far too often.

00:44:45
