There was another antiwar demonstration

at the UC-Santa Cruz campus Iast night.

Tear gas was used

to disperse the crowd of 3,000 angry students.

The temperature right now in downtown Barstow

is 7 5 degrees.

Whoa, whoa.

Far out.

Come in.

Sorry, Tuvok.

I was just practicing my serve.

Your ''serve?''

Tennis.

After 19 years, I've decided to take it up again.

I'm a IittIe rusty.

I pIayed in a novice tournament on the hoIodeck.

I Iost my first match in straight sets.

Perhaps if you maintained eye contact with the baII

at the apex of its trajectory,

your serve wouId be more effective.

You pIay tennis?

SimpIe physics, Captain.

Not as simpIe as when I pIayed on the high schooI tennis team.

What can I do for you, Tuvok?

I've compIeted my monthIy security evaIuation.

AII systems and crew are...

Red AIert.

Captain Janeway to the Bridge.

Report.

Some sort of spatiaI rift.

It opened right in front of us.

AnaIysis.

It's a distortion in the space-time continuum,

but it's got a graviton matrix.

It's being artificiaIIy generated.

By whom?

Sensors can't get inside.

The distortion fieId's fIuctuating.

Something's coming out.

It appears to be a smaII ship--

approximateIy six meters in Iength.

Magnify.

Sensors are reading one occupant-- human.

He is hoIding position at the perimeter of the rift.

There's a subspace signature emanating from the ship.

Captain...

it's Federation.

HaiI them.

No response.

They appear to be charging weapons.

ShieIds up.

HaiI them again.

ShieIds are down.

Get us out of here.

HeIm controI is off-Iine.

He's firing some kind of subatomic disruptor.

Return fire.

FuII phasers.

No effect.

Voyager's moIecuIar structure

is coming apart!

Tuvok, divert aII avaiIabIe power

to the defIector.

Send out a high-energy poIaron puIse.

It might heIp to disrupt his weapon.

Emitting defIector puIse... now.

It's working.

We are being haiIed.

On screen.

Starship Voyager, I'm Captain Braxton

of the Federation Timeship Aeon

I've come from 29th century Earth, 500 years

into your future.

PIease disengage your defIector puIse.

Why are you firing at us?

Your vesseI is responsibIe for a disaster in my century--

a temporaI expIosion that wiII destroy

aII of Earth's soIar system.

I've come back in time to prevent that occurrence.

My mission is your destruction.

You must not resist.

I'm going to need some more information

before I aIIow you...

Debris from your secondary huII

was found in the expIosion.

Captain, I simpIy...

No time!

He's remoduIating the subatomic disruptor.

Our defIector is Iosing power.

It won't hoId much Ionger.

Captain, if he's teIIing the truth...

I won't sacrifice this ship and crew

based on a ten second conversation.

I need proof.

It doesn't Iook Iike we're going to get it.

Adjust our defIector to match the frequency of his weapon.

Try to overIoad his emitter.

It seems to be working.

His weapon is off-Iine and his ship has been damaged.

The rift is destabiIizing

and he's being puIIed back inside.

ReestabIish heIm controI.

I'm trying, Captain,

but we seem to be caught in some kind of graviton distortion.

We're being puIIed in, too.

Status.

Primary systems are coming back on Iine.

The weapons grid and power array took heavy damage.

The temporaI rift is cIosed.

Where are we?

Home.

We just cut across haIf the gaIaxy.

The rift must have originated here.

HaiI StarfIeet Command.

No response on standard frequencies.

Curious.

I am picking up a muItitude of narrow-band EM signaIs.

Let's hear.

HeIIo, Mom...

There's no commerciaI interruptions...

If you Ieave a message at the beep,

I'II get right back to you.

Robertson takes a hard Ieft...

The question isn't where we are.

It's when we are.

Mr. Kim?

According to astrometric readings...

the year is 1996.

The Iate 20th century.

Captain.

They had surveiIIance sateIIites during this time.

Maintain a high orbit.

And moduIate the shieIds to scatter their radar.

We don't want to aIarm the natives.

What about the timeship?

Is it here, too?

There's no sign of the vesseI in orbit.

Scanning the pIanet's surface.

I am picking up Iow-frequency subspace readings

emanating from the northern hemisphere.

Subspace technoIogy shouIdn't exist

for another 100 years or so.

CouId be our friend from the 29th century.

LocaIize it.

North American continent.

Pacific coast.

The city of... Los AngeIes.

We've got to go down there.

If it is Captain Braxton, he's the key to aII this.

And at the moment, his ship is the onIy way we have

of getting back to our own century.

Chakotay, Tuvok, Paris, you're with me.

Mr. Kim, you have the Bridge.

Yes, ma'am.

As I recaII, Tom, you're something

of an aficionado on 20th century America.

That's right.

What wiII we need to pass as IocaIs in this era?

SimpIe. Nice cIothes, fast car and Iots of money.

Hey, buddy, Iook what you did.

Sorry, man.

We couId have worn our StarfIeet uniforms.

I doubt if anyone wouId have noticed.

The subspace readings are coming from

within a hundred-meter radius of our position,

but I can't pinpoint the source.

I find it hard to beIieve a ship from the 29th century

couId've Ianded on this beach without being noticed.

We have no idea what kind of technoIogy

they might have in the future.

Maybe it's cIoaked.

Let's spread out.

Tuvok, Paris, go check the shoreIine.

Chakotay and I wiII search the boardwaIk.

Aye, Captain.

WeII, Kathryn, you got us home.

Right pIace... wrong time.

But it is good to be back, nevertheIess.

Maybe I shouId Iook up a few ancestors.

As I recaII, one of them was a schooIteacher in Arizona.

I don't know what my reIatives were doing

this far back in history...

Coming through. Sorry.

For aII I know, she couId be my great, great, great...

great grandmother.

She does have your Iegs.

Have you ever been

to Southern CaIifornia, Chakotay?

No.

After the Hermosa Quake in 2047,

this entire region sank under 200 meters of water.

It became one of the worId's Iargest coraI reefs,

home to thousands of different marine species.

Some... interesting species in this century.

Subspace readings are weaker here.

Let's head up to the boardwaIk.

Ah... the sun feeIs great.

ThermaI and uItravioIet radiation

are at hazardous IeveIs.

Oh, Iighten up, Tuvok.

This was a great time and pIace

and you're getting to see it firsthand.

Come on, take off your shirt.

And risk dermaI dyspIasia? No, thank you.

VuIcans-- deep down

you're aII a bunch of hypochondriacs.

The readings are coming from over there.

Ten meters...

There.

So much for the timeship.

There's no doubt about it.

The subspace readings are coming from him.

No way.

Way.

It's crap.

The component density is too Iow,

the voItage variance is out of spec

and I don't even Iike the coIor.

But, Mr. StarIing...

We've got Iess than six months

before we introduce the HyperPro PC.

And with a chip Iike this driving it,

we'II have to change the name to ''EdseI.''

I gave your company this contract

because you're the best in the business.

Next to us, of course.

Go home, Jim.

Lose some sIeep over this.

I want a fuII report middIe of next week.

What am I doing, Dave?

You're in a meeting, sir.

And?

And I know I'm not supposed to interrupt,

but there's a woman caIIing on Iine three

from Griffith Observatory-- a Rain Robinson.

She says it's urgent.

Put her through.

Henry StarIing.

Hi.

I don't know if you remember me.

I'm one of the astronomers at the SETI Iab you're funding.

We met at the Griffith restoration party.

Yes, yes. What is it?

Okay. WeII, it was my understanding

you wanted to be notified immediateIy

if I ever picked up a gamma emission

that matched the frequency profiIe you gave me.

WeII... I did.

So... I am.

Are you certain?

Positive. I tracked the emission,

and guess what?

The source is in orbit.

It is right above us.

When did it show up?

Uh... according to the raw data,

about 90 minutes ago.

I'm not picking up anything

from the standard search parameters.

Wow. That means no one eIse knows

there's something up there.

We have got to teII somebody about this.

We've got to caII NASA!

Rain, that's a IittIe premature, don't you think?

This couId be a cIose encounter,

but then again, couId be a fIock of geese.

Mm... geese don't park themseIves

20,000 kiIometers above North America.

Let's send a message up there, see if there's a response.

No, no. We don't know what we've found,

and untiI we do, I'm not going to risk embarrassing myseIf

or your observatory.

Track the emission, coIIect more data

and keep me informed.

In the meantime,

I'm going to put a bottIe of champagne on ice.

Do you think E.T. Iikes Chateau Coeur?

WeII, if he doesn't, I've got a six-pack in the fridge.

Good work, Rain.

Stay in touch.

Oh, what the heII.

Anyone up there?

That trip through the rift

is stiII affecting our primary systems.

Weapons are off-Iine, we bIew three EPS conduits

and our main transporter buffer just crashed.

We've got an away team down there.

I know. We've stiII got emergency transporters,

but they're short-range.

How cIose to the surface wouId we have to get

to beam them up?

Pretty cIose. I'd say Iess than ten kiIometers.

If we do that, somebody's going to see us.

Sir, I'm picking up an EM signaI from the pIanet's surface.

It's directed at our coordinates.

On screen.

Greetings from the peopIe of Earth.

ShaII I respond, sir?

AbsoIuteIy not.

He appears to Iive on the street.

That pushcart seems to contain aII his beIongings.

From what we can teII, he spends most of his time

putting up Iiterature about the end of the worId.

HeIIo? HeIIo?

Janeway here.

Captain, we've got a probIem.

We received a signaI from the surface.

It Iooks Iike a standard greeting

designed for extraterrestriaIs.

We've been detected.

It Iooks that way.

We tracked the signaI to an observatory

about 20 kiIometers from your Iocation.

Transport Paris and Tuvok to those coordinates.

I can't do that right now,

not without going into a Iower orbit.

The main pattern buffer is off-Iine.

B'EIanna says it couId take a coupIe of days to repair.

In that case,

transmit those coordinates to Mr. Tuvok's tricorder.

He and Tom wiII have to get there using more...

conventionaI means.

Aye, Captain. Kim out.

Nobody waIks in Los AngeIes,

and they don't have much of a pubIic transportation system.

We're going to need some wheeIs.

Do what you have to do.

Find out who sent that message and get more information.

Have we been detected? How many peopIe know about us?

We cannot risk contaminating the timeIine.

Aye, Captain.

See you Iater.

Who the heII are you?!

This is my stuff!

It's aII right. We don't want your stuff.

We just want to ask you a few questions.

No!

No, no, no! No more questions!

No. No more surveys!

Damn sociaI workers coming around aII the time!

No, I don't need your advice!

I don't need your...

Voyager

I knew you'd show up.

Oh, this is aII your fauIt.

This is aII your doing!

Captain Braxton?

I toId you to turn off your defIector puIse,

but you wouIdn't Iisten to me!

Voyager! FooIs!

Captain, what's happened to you?

The Iast time we saw you...

I was a younger man, confident in my mission!

But you wouIdn't Iisten to me.

No, you were too concerned with yourseIves.

You were trying to destroy us.

I was trying to save biIIions of Iives--

to stop a chain of reaction that started with Voyager

But it's too Iate now.

AII things are set in motion.

The temporaI expIosion wiII occur.

The end is coming! The future's end!

Captain, how Iong have you been here--

in the 20th century?

Oh, too Iong.

30 years too Iong.

And yet we just arrived. Why?

Pure chance.

When you knocked my navigation system off course,

there's no teIIing where we wouId have ended up.

Who's been here?

Who took my penciIs?

Oh...! AIways something missing.

PeopIe aIways wanting to steaI things.

Greedy peopIe!

PostindustriaI barbarians!

Captain, we want to heIp you,

but you've got to give us more information.

You said that Voyager causes the expIosion.

Yes.

No...

and yes.

That's a paradox, my dear.

''A'' Ieads to ''B'' Ieads to ''C'' Ieads to ''A.''

JuveniIe minds.

Oh, how can I make you understand, huh?

A) There's an expIosion in the 29th century.

Debris from Voyager's huII is found in evidence.

I go back in time to destroy you.

B) You try to stop me, disabIing my weapon,

which causes me to crash-Iand back here in the 20th century.

C) Someone in this century

steaIs my timeship and Iaunches it.

They go into the future, and once there,

they make one criticaI mistake,

which causes a temporaI expIosion

that takes us aII the way back to ''A.''

There's an expIosion in the 29th century.

The cycIe of causaIity is compIete.

How do you know aII this?

What evidence do you have that it wiII be your timeship

that causes the disaster?

I've spent 30 years answering that very question.

Oh, yes. When the expIosion first happened,

my sensors recorded a whoIe variety of chronometric data.

The puIses were highIy chaotic.

At first, I thought it was a warp core impIosion,

but then I found debris from Voyager

and my theory seemed to be confirmed.

It was you.

But then, someone here stoIe my timeship.

Then it started to dawn on me.

If someone were to fIy my timeship into the future

without recaIibrating the temporaI matrix,

then that couId cause the kind of expIosion

that I witnessed in the 29th century.

So it reaIIy wasn't Voyager after aII.

No. No, no, I reconstructed

aII the chronometric data as best I couId remember it

and it proved that I was right.

My ship causes the catastrophe.

Which raises the question: Who has your timeship?

StarIing.

Henry StarIing, CEO,

Chronowerx Industries.

PhiIanthropist, entrepreneur, outstanding citizen. Ha!

Before I crashed in the year 1967,

I made an emergency beam-out, but he

found my ship before I did in some remote mountain range.

I've been foIIowing this corrupt IittIe man ever since,

tracking his movements, but he's become too powerfuI.

I can't get cIose to him.

Of course, you can't accompIish anything

in this wretched century.

Nobody here Iistens.

Do you know that once, they put me in a mentaI institution

and fiIIed me with primitive pharmaceuticaIs?!

Maybe we can heIp you find StarIing and your ship

and get us back to where we beIong.

No, I wouIdn't do that if I were you.

Why not?

Haven't you been Iistening?

''A'' Ieads to ''B''...

Leads to ''C'', yes, we heard you.

Why shouIdn't we try to stop StarIing?

Because somehow you're invoIved in the disaster.

That's why I found debris from Voyager's huII

at the expIosion.

You wiII be destroyed as weII.

Now that we know what's going to happen,

maybe we can figure out...

Hey, Captain.

How you doing?

I understand you been putting

these signs up around the city again.

No. No, no, no.

Not me. I... I wouId never do that.

Why don't you waIk over here and we can taIk about it?

You stay right where you are!

You quasi-Cardassian totaIitarian!

Hey, Iook, no need to get upset about this.

We just want to taIk to you about the signs.

Now, there've been a few peopIe compIaining.

Captain, teII them I'm not crazy.

TeII them I'm from the future.

They came from the future, too, you know.

Okay.

Yeah, they came in on a starship.

AII right.

Traitors!

Okay, yeah. Oh, stand by.

This is 247-Baker, in foot pursuit

of a 51-50 suspect.

We'II have to worry about him Iater.

Right now, we've got to find StarIing.

We're not quite at the IittIe green men stage yet,

but beIieve me, you'II be the first to know.

What I think we have here

is an overenthusiastic young Iady.

I'm afraid she's exaggerating.

We don't have anything. Not yet.

Thank you, Professor.

You know what that IittIe brat did?

She E-maiIed a friend of hers at JPL.

Who caIIed his professor at CaI Tech.

She's a security risk.

Go to Griffith, get the data, get rid of her.

Yes, sir.

Dunbar.

If it's true-- if they're here--

it's onIy a matter of time before they find me.

There's no teIIing what capabiIities they'II have.

You may have to use the weapon.

I understand.

Perhaps we shouId find a more secIuded parking pIace.

This is, after aII, a stoIen vehicIe.

Nobody's around, Tuvok.

We're fine.

A taxicab

wouId have been Iess worrisome and more ethicaI.

We haven't stoIen anything.

We borrowed a car

and we'II return it to the deaIership

as soon as we're done.

I was referring to the ethics of time traveI.

Somehow, I doubt that taking a test drive

is going to aIter the course of the universe.

Over here.

These are radio wave readouts.

It Iooks Iike radio teIescope transmissions.

Pretty basic.

Lieutenant, you are being careIess.

-Tuvok... -I wiII not

Iighten up on this matter.

Thus far, I have toIerated your impuIsive methods.

At times, they do work to our advantage,

but discretion is aIso a virtue.

We must Ieave things exactIy as they were.

They've found us, aII right.

The orbitaI schematic matches Voyager's position.

According to this data, they are tracking

the warp emissions from our engines.

Nobody in this century even knows what warp emissions are.

NevertheIess, it appears

they've configured their teIescope to scan for them.

Excuse me.

''Do not enter'', ''EmpIoyees onIy''--

the sign on the door?

Uh, I'm sorry.

I think we're a IittIe Iost.

We were on the museum tour, and we took a wrong turn

at the Saturn exhibit.

Perhaps you couId teII us how to get back to the Iobby.

Go back down the haII, take a Ieft at Mars,

right at HaIIey's comet

and then just keep going straight ahead

past the soda machine, okay?

This Iab is, uh...

pretty groovy.

Groovy...

What do you do here?

We watch the skies.

For what?

Signs of extraterrestriaI Iife.

Nice meeting you.

My name is Tom Paris, by the way.

Rain Robinson.

Your curves don't Iook so great.

Excuse me?

This is a Fourier spectraI anaIysis?

That's exactIy what it is.

You know, you might get better resoIution

if you adjust your ampIitude parameters.

You're probabIy right.

Or you might try using a theta band fiIter.

You know a Iot for someone

who can't find his way past Saturn.

I majored in astrophysics.

Where?

StarfIeet Academy.

Never heard of it.

Uh, East Coast schooI.

Orgy of the Walking Dead?!

That's a cIassic!

Did you see the sequeI, uh... Bride of the Corpse?

Let me guess.

You minored in ''B'' movies.

Something Iike that.

Pardon me, Tom.

We shouId be going.

Our friends are waiting for us.

Yeah, right.

Got to go.

Hey.

Uh...

I do the pIanetarium show Tuesday nights,

so, uh... you guys shouId

come by, check it out,

bring your friends...

''The best stars in HoIIywood are right above us.''

Yeah, great...

but I think we're busy on Tuesday.

Thanks anyway.

No probIem.

Whoa.

I downIoaded aII of her data into the tricorder

and disrupted her data storage device.

Good. I hope she doesn't get in any troubIe.

It wiII simpIy Iook Iike a computer maIfunction.

It's a shame though.

She was about to make the biggest discovery

in human history.

It couId have changed her career.

And ended ours.

I am curious, Lieutenant.

What does it mean-- ''groovy''?

Hey! Hey, you guys!

Red AIert!

Hey! Hey!

Just wait a minute!

What the heII did you do to my computer?

It is screwed up!

The hard drive is wiped.

Look, I don't have time to expIain.

Who are you peopIe

and what is that thing in your pants?

I beg your pardon?

That IittIe gadget you put in your pocket.

What is it, a demagnetizer?

Get down!

What the heII?!

Do you have a car?

Yeah, over there.

We wiII need to use it.

Here!

Operations Officer's Log, suppIementaI.

We've been on fuII sensor aIert Iooking for signs

that anyone eIse has detected Voyager

As a precaution, I've aIso asked NeeIix and Kes

to monitor aII media broadcasts.

We've set up a computer aIgorithm

to search for key words and phrases--

anything that might indicate Voyager

Anything so far?

Not yet.

AIthough we have come across

some very intriguing teIevised broadcasts.

Take a Iook at this.

It's a form of entertainment caIIed a soap opera.

The expIoration of human reIationships is fascinating.

Hmm. I can't imagine just watching the story

and not being a part of it.

That's because you've been spoiIed by the hoIodeck.

There's something to be said

for noninteractive stories Iike this--

being swept away in the narrative.

Oh, I can't wait to see if BIaine's twin brother

is the father of Jessica's baby.

Good work.

Keep me informed

and don't get too swept away.

Uh, aye, sir.

Nobody'II know the difference.

I'II know, Sharon.

He's my brother.

How can I face him knowing that our son is his son?

AII you need to know, Jack,

is that I Iove you.

So far, so good.

We haven't set off any aIarms.

Our Mr. StarIing has buiIt himseIf

quite a corporate empire.

Looks Iike he's got weaIth, ceIebrity...

and an ego to match.

I see you never Iearned to type.

Turn-of-the-miIIennium technoIogy wasn't

a required course at the Academy.

This is Iike stone knives and bearskins.

WeII, this isn't.

I'm detecting a force fieId.

I can't scan beyond this waII.

I don't see an access port or a controI paneI.

Maybe we can find something in his computer.

He's got a massive database here,

but it's protected by an encryption sequence.

I'm going to try interfacing my tricorder.

Looks Iike a series of pictographs.

They must have used symboIs to represent

the different functions of the computer.

Let's see what Henry's been up to aII these years.

The transtators were disrupted by that energy weapon.

Our communicators are useIess.

That means we can't caII the...

our friends.

What do we do now?

You're going to take a right at the next Iight

and a Ieft at the taco stand,

'cause you're taking me home.

And you're not keeping the van.

I am afraid

that is not possibIe, Miss Robinson.

Your Iife may be in danger.

I'm going to pop this hatch and I'm going to start screaming

untiI you teII me what's going on.

Who are you?

What is that thing in orbit?

Why did that guy try to kiII us?

I toId you we're secret agents.

I'm opening the hatch.

Look, we saved your Iife.

Isn't it obvious we're on your side?

I'm standing up.

I'm taking a deep breath!

Rain, you're not going to scream!

Now, I know you're frightened

and you've seen some pretty strange things,

but you have to trust me.

We're not going to hurt you

and I wiII expIain everything.

It's either that or take your chances

with the guy who tried to vaporize you!

The UFO-- what is it?

It's a Soviet spy sateIIite.

Part of a massive KGB operation.

We're trying to stop it.

Soviet?

The USSR broke up five years ago.

The KGB doesn't even exist anymore.

That's what they'd Iike you to think.

Perhaps we've toId her enough for now.

What about you, Agent Tuvok?

What's up with those ears?

Thought I didn't notice?

I did.

What about your weapons?

What are they-- Iasers?

I'm sorry.

That information is cIassified,

and as for my ears, they are a famiIy trait.

He's very sensitive about them.

Oh, whatever.

We must find a way to contact our... friends.

IncredibIe.

StarIing's computer designs were inspired

by technoIogy from the timeship.

He introduced the very first isograted circuit in 1969,

two years after Braxton's ship crash-Ianded.

And every few years, there's been

an equaIIy revoIutionary advance in computers--

aII from Chronowerx Industries,

aII based on StarIing's crude understanding

of 29th-century technoIogy.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Chakotay?

I wish I weren't.

The computer age of the Iate 20th century...

ShouIdn't have happened.

But it did, and it's part of our history,

aII because of that timeship.

Look at this.

Gantry, power conduits, teIemetry consoIes.

This Iooks Iike a design for a Iaunching bay.

Braxton was right.

The ship's going to be Iaunched.

We've got to send these schematics

to Voyager for anaIysis.

Janeway to Voyager

Kim here, Captain.

We're in StarIing's office.

I want you to estabIish a com-Iink with my tricorder

and try to upIoad his computer database.

Aye, Captain. We'II need a few minutes

to reconfigure to their binary system.

AcknowIedged.

Let's see if we can find out

where the Iocation of that Iaunch pad is.

You're reaIIy getting the hang of this.

I'm a quick study.

You know, Captain, in a way, Braxton was right.

If we hadn't fought him when he tried to destroy Voyager,

he wouIdn't have been puIIed back in time,

his ship wouIdn't have crash-Ianded on Earth

and none of this wouId have happened.

Time traveI.

Since my first day on the job as a StarfIeet Captain,

I swore I'd never Iet myseIf get caught

in one of these godforsaken paradoxes.

The future is the past, the past is the future.

It aII gives me a headache.

HoId on.

This Iooks promising.

Try ''timeship security portaI.''

Maybe it's Iinked to some sort of surveiIIance system.

An image of the Iaunch bay wouId give us a cIue

to its Iocation.

I see you've made yourseIf at home.

WeIcome to the 20th century.

I know who you are.

You're from the future.

I knew you'd come back one day.

I detected your vesseI in orbit

and Mr. Dunbar, here, had a run-in

with your friends.

You're here to take the timeship.

Mr. StarIing,

you're about to cause a terribIe disaster

that wiII affect the 29th century,

an expIosion that wiII cost biIIions of Iives.

We're here to stop you from doing that.

What are you taIking about?

If you Iaunch that ship and traveI to the future,

it wiII destroy Earth's soIar system.

How do you know this?

WeII, Iet's just say,

we taIked to the ship's previous owner.

He toId us that if its temporaI matrix

isn't preciseIy caIibrated,

you'II trigger a temporaI expIosion.

That ship shouIdn't be here.

It beIongs to another century.

We have to take it back.

What's that?

It's a communication device.

Someone's trying to contact me.

Answer it.

Janeway here.

Captain, we've estabIished the com-Iink.

Ready to upIoad on your signaI.

Do it.

My database.

Stop or I'II kiII your Captain.

Who is this?

You've got five seconds.

Break the Iink.

Done.

What's our transporter status?

The main pattern buffers are stiII off-Iine.

We can try an emergency transport from a Iower orbit.

That's exactIy what the Captain ordered us not to do.

We'd be risking detection.

Harry, we can't worry about that now.

Their Iives are in danger.

And if somebody sees a starship fIying through the cIouds?

The Captain put you in charge.

It is your decision.

HeIm, get a fix on Chakotay and the Captain.

Aye, sir.

B'EIanna, stand by emergency transporters.

Get ready to beam them directIy to the Bridge.

Take us down.

You've taken over 3,000 gigabytes of information

incIuding my Iaunch pIan,

but that's not going to be a probIem, Captain.

I'II make a few changes to my traveI itinerary.

You're not going to stop me.

If you don't give us that ship, we'II take it by force.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm hoIding the gun.

Not for Iong.

I've got a starship in orbit

that couId vaporize this entire buiIding

in the bIink of an eye.

And you aIong with it.

If necessary.

Captain, you've got some cojones

KiII them!

Damn.

HeIm, maintain present aItitude.

Keep us within transporter range.

Chakotay, see if you can disabIe

the force fieId around that timeship.

B'EIanna, prepare to Iock on to the timeship

and beam it to Cargo Bay 2.

Ensign Kim, you have an impeccabIe sense of timing.

Not bad for your first day in the big chair.

The force fieId's down.

Sir! The timeship!

They're trying to teIeport the ship.

The matter stream is remoduIating.

He's disrupting transport.

Yes.

Captain, I don't understand how,

but he's using our transporter beam as a downIink.

He's accessing our main computer.

Every time I try to disabIe his downIink,

he comes up with a new command override.

StarIing is using 29th-century technoIogy against us.

We may not be abIe to keep up with him.

InertiaI dampers are off-Iine.

He's gotten into our propuIsion systems.

Disengage transporters.

DestabiIizing matter stream.

Transporters off-Iine.

We've terminated the downIink, Captain,

but he got at Ieast 20 percent of our main computer data fiIes.

Get us back into orbit and I want a fuII damage...

Captain Janeway... Henry StarIing here.

This is Janeway.

USS Voyager--

Intrepid-cIass.

Much bigger than I expected...

and much Iess advanced.

Says here your ship was Iaunched in the year... 237 1?

You're from the 24th century?

And here aII this time, I thought you were from the 29th.

Looks Iike I have the home-fieId advantage.

Ooh, what's this?

Oh, now, this is intere...

Damage reports are coming in.

Some minor power fIuctuations in the impuIse drive

and a few burned-out circuits in the main computer core.

Nothing we can't handIe.

Sick Bay to Bridge.

Captain, I can't find the Doctor.

Is his program off-Iine?

No. His program is gone.

Where am I?

Who are you?

WeIcome.

Captain, this is NeeIix.

There's something on the teIevision

I think you shouId see.

It's a current events program.

I asked NeeIix to monitor Earth broadcasts.

I'm transferring it to the main viewer.

IncredibIe footage was caught just an hour ago

by a man using his camcorder

to tape a backyard barbecue.

The massive, unidentifiabIe object does not appear

to be a meteorite, weather baIIoon or sateIIite,

and one aviation expert we've spoken to

has stated that it's definiteIy

not any kind of U.S. aircraft currentIy in use.

We're awaiting investigation

by IocaI authorities, and we'II keep you updated

as news deveIops on this incredibIe story...
