1
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:09,272
Ares lVto Kumagawa.
2
00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:11,503
How was the sunrise
from down there?
3
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:12,943
Beautiful.
4
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,743
There was a little green
mixed in today.
5
00:00:15,815 --> 00:00:18,215
lt was really quite spectacular.
6
00:00:18,284 --> 00:00:20,343
Sorry l missed it.
7
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:22,047
Next time, Lieutenant.
8
00:00:22,122 --> 00:00:24,556
Any luck drilling
through that lava plain?
9
00:00:24,624 --> 00:00:25,886
Roger that.
10
00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:27,586
We broke through
the iron oxide barrier,
11
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:28,922
and we're down to eight meters.
12
00:00:28,995 --> 00:00:31,122
We should have some samples
13
00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:32,926
by the end of the day
if all goes well.
14
00:00:32,999 --> 00:00:34,660
On to more important matters.
15
00:00:34,734 --> 00:00:36,463
Received an uplink from Houston.
16
00:00:36,569 --> 00:00:38,901
The Yankees won game five
of the World Series.
17
00:00:38,972 --> 00:00:40,200
You owe me 20 bucks.
18
00:00:40,306 --> 00:00:41,273
Eh, it's not over yet.
19
00:00:41,341 --> 00:00:42,569
There's still game six.
20
00:00:42,642 --> 00:00:45,008
We're not the only ones
making history today.
21
00:00:45,111 --> 00:00:46,976
Bokai just broke
DiMaggio's record.
22
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:48,207
l don't believe it.
23
00:00:48,281 --> 00:00:49,441
lf you ask me,
24
00:00:49,516 --> 00:00:51,211
Houston's been manipulating
the stats.
25
00:00:51,284 --> 00:00:54,253
They do have a few too many
Kings fans at Mission Control.
26
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,685
Well, how else do you explain
27
00:00:55,755 --> 00:00:57,689
Bokai beating out
the Yankee Clipper?
28
00:01:00,026 --> 00:01:02,324
Commander, we lost you
for a second there.
29
00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:04,158
The ride got a little bumpy.
30
00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:05,424
Stand by.
31
00:01:05,498 --> 00:01:08,126
l'm picking up some turbulence.
32
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:09,462
At your altitude?
33
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:11,366
Checking LlDAR.
34
00:01:11,471 --> 00:01:13,166
What the hell...?
35
00:01:13,273 --> 00:01:14,797
John, what's going on?
36
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:17,274
There's an object
closing on my position- -
37
00:01:17,343 --> 00:01:20,335
azimuth 121.6.
38
00:01:20,413 --> 00:01:22,142
Whatever it is, it's huge.
39
00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:23,580
lt's over 1,000 meters across.
40
00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:26,585
How could something that big
appear out of nowhere?
41
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:29,451
l don't know,
but l'm getting out of its way.
42
00:01:29,522 --> 00:01:30,819
Firing thrusters.
43
00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:34,384
lt's probably
just a solar flare.
44
00:01:34,461 --> 00:01:36,759
Let's hope so.
45
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:47,563
lt's no solar flare.
46
00:03:44,123 --> 00:03:45,556
Come in.
47
00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:49,261
Come in.
48
00:04:05,545 --> 00:04:07,479
Chakotay to the Bridge.
49
00:04:07,547 --> 00:04:09,742
This is Transporter Room 2.
50
00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:11,613
l'm trying to reach the Bridge.
51
00:04:11,684 --> 00:04:14,312
Your com signal
was routed here, sir.
52
00:04:14,387 --> 00:04:16,412
Can you patch me through?
53
00:04:16,489 --> 00:04:18,684
Uh, pardon me? Who is this?
54
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:19,690
Patch you through where?
55
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,056
Patch you through
where... where?
56
00:04:21,127 --> 00:04:22,492
Neelix?
57
00:04:22,562 --> 00:04:23,494
Commander?
58
00:04:23,563 --> 00:04:25,463
Double check
on the fuel generators.
59
00:04:25,531 --> 00:04:27,465
Control seven, return to base...
60
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:28,864
Maintenance Team 49...
61
00:04:28,968 --> 00:04:30,128
Culhane to Nozawa,
what's keeping you?
62
00:04:30,236 --> 00:04:31,362
Computer, locate Naomi...
63
00:04:31,471 --> 00:04:32,938
We're meeting
in the Briefing Room.
64
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:34,529
l can't get through
to Engineering.
65
00:04:34,641 --> 00:04:36,040
l'm scheduled for Holodeck 2.
66
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:38,339
Culhane to Nozawa...
67
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:04,197
l see you're making some changes
to the computer core.
68
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:06,465
l have enhanced
the command sequencers
69
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:07,869
with Borg algorithms.
70
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:10,033
Well, your enhancements
are wreaking havoc
71
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:11,542
with our secondary systems.
72
00:05:11,611 --> 00:05:12,873
lnsignificant malfunctions.
73
00:05:13,012 --> 00:05:14,274
l will correct them.
74
00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:16,338
l don't recall authorizing
any modifications.
75
00:05:16,416 --> 00:05:17,883
The computer core
is inefficient.
76
00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:19,349
lt needed to be improved.
77
00:05:19,419 --> 00:05:22,616
l appreciate your initiative,
but that's not up to you.
78
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:24,816
l've explained the value
of these enhancements
79
00:05:24,891 --> 00:05:25,983
on several occasions,
80
00:05:26,059 --> 00:05:28,254
but Lieutenant Torres
chose to ignore me.
81
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:30,888
l thought a demonstration
would be more persuasive.
82
00:05:31,030 --> 00:05:33,794
Well, l doubt this one's
going to change her mind.
83
00:05:33,866 --> 00:05:36,027
Clearly Voyager
is not yet ready
84
00:05:36,135 --> 00:05:37,329
for assimilation.
85
00:05:39,572 --> 00:05:41,039
A joke.
86
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:42,402
The Doctor suggested
87
00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:44,739
that l diffuse tense
situations with humor.
88
00:05:44,811 --> 00:05:45,937
Good idea.
89
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:48,139
Now, how about getting
these systems back up again
90
00:05:48,214 --> 00:05:49,442
so l can get back
to my book?
91
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:56,917
We're experiencing a
shipwide power drain.
92
00:05:56,989 --> 00:05:59,981
This is unrelated
to my modifications.
93
00:06:02,061 --> 00:06:04,791
Senior officers to the Bridge.
94
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,064
lt's 2:00 in the morning,
Ensign.
95
00:06:12,171 --> 00:06:14,799
This better be more
than a little turbulence.
96
00:06:14,907 --> 00:06:16,306
You won't be disappointed.
97
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:18,037
We've got level- 9
gravimetric distortions
98
00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:19,203
closing on our position.
99
00:06:19,278 --> 00:06:20,870
They are emanating
from subspace.
100
00:06:20,947 --> 00:06:22,881
On screen.
101
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:27,284
Shields.
102
00:06:31,924 --> 00:06:33,585
lt's heading right toward us.
103
00:06:33,659 --> 00:06:35,490
Evasive maneuvers.
104
00:06:44,103 --> 00:06:45,127
Captain?
105
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,331
Say good morning
to 30 million terajoules
106
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,407
of subspace energy.
107
00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:49,998
This thing is following us.
108
00:06:50,109 --> 00:06:51,940
l can't outrun it at impulse.
109
00:06:52,011 --> 00:06:52,978
Go to warp.
110
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,880
lt's disrupting our warp field.
111
00:06:56,949 --> 00:06:58,746
lf it any gets closer,
the gravimetric stresses
112
00:06:58,818 --> 00:07:00,342
are going to rip the plating
off our hull.
113
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,320
Captain, l recognize
this phenomenon.
114
00:07:02,388 --> 00:07:04,652
lts Borg designation
is Spatial Anomaly 521.
115
00:07:04,724 --> 00:07:08,251
lt's attracted to objects that
emit electromagnetic energy.
116
00:07:08,327 --> 00:07:11,819
We have to cut power
and reverse our shield polarity.
117
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:13,558
Do it.
118
00:07:21,073 --> 00:07:22,734
That was close.
119
00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:26,340
l recognize this anomaly, too.
120
00:07:26,412 --> 00:07:29,279
lt's called a graviton ellipse.
121
00:07:29,348 --> 00:07:31,441
According to
the Federation database,
122
00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:33,041
it travels through subspace,
123
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:37,146
emerging occasionally
without warning.
124
00:07:37,223 --> 00:07:41,887
Ellipses have only been
observed a handful of times.
125
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:43,154
Ares lV.
126
00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:44,696
Commander?
127
00:07:44,764 --> 00:07:47,699
One of the early Mars missions.
128
00:07:47,767 --> 00:07:50,463
The command module and
its pilot were engulfed
129
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:53,630
by a similar phenomenon
back in 2032.
130
00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:55,229
l remember reading about that.
131
00:07:55,341 --> 00:07:58,071
Two astronauts were stranded
on the surface for weeks
132
00:07:58,144 --> 00:07:59,634
before a rescue ship arrived.
133
00:07:59,712 --> 00:08:02,044
No one's gotten this close
to a graviton ellipse
134
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,479
and lived to tell about it.
135
00:08:03,516 --> 00:08:05,450
This could be a
remarkable opportunity.
136
00:08:05,518 --> 00:08:06,780
Go to Yellow Alert.
137
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:08,821
Keep our power output
at minimum levels.
138
00:08:08,955 --> 00:08:11,651
Match its course and speed,
but maintain a safe distance.
139
00:08:11,724 --> 00:08:13,487
Aye, Captain.
140
00:08:13,559 --> 00:08:14,821
l suggest we launch a probe.
141
00:08:14,927 --> 00:08:17,452
See if we can find out
what makes this thing tick.
142
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:18,554
Well, make it fast.
143
00:08:18,631 --> 00:08:20,394
There's no telling
when our visitor
144
00:08:20,466 --> 00:08:22,457
is going to burrow back
into subspace.
145
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:34,544
l'm receiving telemetry
from the probe.
146
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:40,812
lt appears to have
entered a stable core
147
00:08:40,887 --> 00:08:42,115
within the anomaly,
148
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:44,418
where gravimetric forces
are negligible.
149
00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:45,718
The eye of the storm.
150
00:08:45,791 --> 00:08:47,452
An apt metaphor.
151
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:50,121
Computer, run a
multispectral analysis
152
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:51,720
of the anomaly's core.
153
00:08:51,797 --> 00:08:53,890
Analysis in progress.
154
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,627
The Borg developed shields
155
00:08:55,735 --> 00:08:57,896
to get through
the gravimetric currents.
156
00:08:58,037 --> 00:09:00,665
They intended to dissipate
the anomaly from within.
157
00:09:00,773 --> 00:09:03,071
Perhaps we should
continue their efforts.
158
00:09:03,142 --> 00:09:05,201
lt would be shortsighted
to destroy it.
159
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:07,246
We should study the phenomenon.
160
00:09:10,116 --> 00:09:11,413
l didn't realize
161
00:09:11,484 --> 00:09:14,248
you shared this crew's
penchant for exploration.
162
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,288
l am a Starfleet officer.
163
00:09:16,355 --> 00:09:18,789
When the risks outweigh
the potential gain,
164
00:09:18,858 --> 00:09:20,587
exploration is illogical.
165
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:24,494
We can't predict
what we might find here, Seven.
166
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:27,965
One must allow
for the unexpected discovery.
167
00:09:28,034 --> 00:09:30,434
Core analysis complete.
168
00:09:32,872 --> 00:09:36,774
There are more than 2.8 billion
compounds in the core.
169
00:09:36,842 --> 00:09:39,003
Fascinating.
170
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:40,443
The computer has isolated
171
00:09:40,513 --> 00:09:45,075
several synthetic alloys native
to Sector 001.
172
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:46,982
Titanium
and polymer composites.
173
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:49,715
These materials date back
to the 21st century.
174
00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:51,780
They were used
in the construction
175
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:53,415
of Earth's early spacecraft.
176
00:09:53,492 --> 00:09:55,892
Commander Chakotay
mentioned a space capsule
177
00:09:55,995 --> 00:09:58,259
that was consumed
by a graviton ellipse.
178
00:09:58,331 --> 00:10:02,062
These alloys are consistent
with the hull of that capsule.
179
00:10:05,638 --> 00:10:08,869
An unexpected discovery, indeed.
180
00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:22,846
She was 46 meters,
92 metric tons,
181
00:10:22,922 --> 00:10:25,413
powered by a third- generation
ion drive,
182
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:27,959
and equipped
with a transpectral imager.
183
00:10:28,094 --> 00:10:31,222
Ares lVwas piloted
by Lieutenant John Kelly.
184
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,857
His ground team,
astronauts Rose Kumagawa
185
00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:35,332
and Andrei Novakovich,
186
00:10:35,434 --> 00:10:38,267
were close to completing
their survey mission
187
00:10:38,337 --> 00:10:41,773
when Kelly reported an object
closing on his position.
188
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,341
Then he and the command module
189
00:10:43,409 --> 00:10:45,377
disappeared
off NASA's LlDAR scopes.
190
00:10:45,444 --> 00:10:46,706
And into the history books.
191
00:10:46,779 --> 00:10:49,179
That incident almost derailed
the Mars program.
192
00:10:49,248 --> 00:10:53,014
Mankind's first encounter
with a spatial anomaly.
193
00:10:53,152 --> 00:10:54,847
Seven, you said
the Borg were working
194
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,888
on a way to get inside
a graviton ellipse.
195
00:10:56,956 --> 00:10:59,618
Shield enhancements.
196
00:10:59,692 --> 00:11:00,920
Well, maybe we could apply
197
00:11:01,027 --> 00:11:02,688
the same enhancements
to the Flyer.
198
00:11:02,728 --> 00:11:05,026
Captain, do you intend to try
to find the command module?
199
00:11:05,097 --> 00:11:06,997
Or what's left of it.
200
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:09,728
By my calculations,
we have less than 16 hours
201
00:11:09,835 --> 00:11:12,326
before the anomaly
goes back into subspace.
202
00:11:12,438 --> 00:11:13,905
Then we have to work quickly.
203
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:16,735
Harry, B'Elanna, help Seven
modify the Flyer's shields.
204
00:11:16,809 --> 00:11:19,937
Tom, review the database
from the Ares lVmission.
205
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:22,206
lt might tell us something
about this anomaly
206
00:11:22,281 --> 00:11:23,339
we've missed.
207
00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:26,544
We're going to need
a mission leader.
208
00:11:26,619 --> 00:11:28,211
l volunteer.
209
00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:29,345
l thought you might.
210
00:11:29,422 --> 00:11:31,549
Let's do it.
211
00:11:35,928 --> 00:11:37,555
Something on your mind,
Seven?
212
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:40,064
The anomaly is as dangerous
and unpredictable now
213
00:11:40,132 --> 00:11:42,623
as it was 300 years ago.
214
00:11:42,735 --> 00:11:44,635
Well, the Delta Flyer is
a little more advanced
215
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:45,636
than the Ares lVwas.
216
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,002
We'll be taking
every precaution.
217
00:11:47,139 --> 00:11:49,471
That may not be enough.
218
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:52,978
l appreciate your concern,
but this is my call.
219
00:11:53,079 --> 00:11:55,912
Searching
for the command module seems
220
00:11:55,981 --> 00:11:57,778
more sentimental
than scientific.
221
00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:00,648
Well, l can't argue with that.
222
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,154
lf scientific knowledge
was all we were after,
223
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:05,156
then the Federation
would have built
224
00:12:05,224 --> 00:12:06,987
a fleet of probes,
not starships.
225
00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:09,892
Exploration is about seeing
things with your own eyes.
226
00:12:10,029 --> 00:12:12,122
ln this case,
we're exploring the past.
227
00:12:12,198 --> 00:12:14,666
How will retrieving
this artifact
228
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:16,531
enhance your appreciation
of history?
229
00:12:16,635 --> 00:12:19,297
By making us part of it,
in the same way
230
00:12:19,405 --> 00:12:22,568
that excavating the obelisks
of ancient Vulcan,
231
00:12:22,641 --> 00:12:24,666
or finding
the Shroud of Kahless
232
00:12:24,777 --> 00:12:28,235
made those explorers
part of their history.
233
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:31,447
Here's the crux of it.
234
00:12:33,419 --> 00:12:37,515
As a Borg, you didn't study
the past; you ingested it.
235
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:39,319
You never really developed
236
00:12:39,391 --> 00:12:41,689
an appreciation for
humanity's history.
237
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,228
Maybe this is an opportunity
238
00:12:43,295 --> 00:12:45,695
for you to do some
exploring of your own.
239
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:48,427
Are you ordering me
to join this mission?
240
00:12:48,534 --> 00:12:51,765
Let's just say l'm encouraging
you to volunteer.
241
00:12:56,575 --> 00:12:58,543
lt's no solar flare.
242
00:13:00,312 --> 00:13:02,007
Wow.
243
00:13:02,081 --> 00:13:04,311
John, can you describe it?
244
00:13:04,383 --> 00:13:07,682
lt... it's at least
1,000 meters wide.
245
00:13:07,753 --> 00:13:08,879
Bright.
246
00:13:08,954 --> 00:13:10,683
Your transmission's breaking up.
247
00:13:10,756 --> 00:13:13,224
lt's generating
an electromagnetic radiation
248
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:15,123
interfering
with primary systems.
249
00:13:15,194 --> 00:13:17,492
l can't get away from it.
250
00:13:17,563 --> 00:13:20,259
Activating
the transpectral imager.
251
00:13:20,332 --> 00:13:23,028
l'll record
as much data as l can.
252
00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:26,169
lt's right on top of me!
253
00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:28,001
l'll transmit as much as l ca...
254
00:13:29,341 --> 00:13:31,241
That's all she wrote.
255
00:13:33,012 --> 00:13:37,108
NASA received Kelly's
last telemetry
256
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:40,812
at 0922 hours, October 19, 2032.
257
00:13:40,886 --> 00:13:43,184
l thought l was the Mars buff.
258
00:13:43,255 --> 00:13:44,950
You seem to know more
about the Ares lV
259
00:13:45,024 --> 00:13:46,286
than l do.
260
00:13:46,358 --> 00:13:49,623
The Mars missions paved the way
for the exploration of space.
261
00:13:49,695 --> 00:13:51,663
Kelly was one
of my childhood heroes.
262
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:54,563
Yeah, mine, too.
263
00:13:54,633 --> 00:13:55,565
That's dedication.
264
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:57,135
The man's life's about to end,
265
00:13:57,203 --> 00:13:58,966
but he won't stop
taking readings.
266
00:13:59,071 --> 00:14:00,766
Makes you wonder
if those old- timers
267
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,104
were made of sterner
stuff than we are.
268
00:14:03,175 --> 00:14:04,665
You think we have it easy?
269
00:14:04,777 --> 00:14:05,709
Are you kidding?
270
00:14:05,778 --> 00:14:08,008
Warp drive, shields,
transporters- -
271
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,514
we're traveling
in the lap of luxury.
272
00:14:10,583 --> 00:14:13,313
Kelly and Kumagawa,
Armstrong and Glenn- -
273
00:14:13,385 --> 00:14:15,319
they were the real pioneers.
274
00:14:15,387 --> 00:14:16,979
Am l interrupting?
275
00:14:17,056 --> 00:14:21,254
We're just admiring someone,
a fellow explorer.
276
00:14:21,327 --> 00:14:23,124
Hero worship- -
the glorification
277
00:14:23,195 --> 00:14:25,186
of an individual's
accomplishments.
278
00:14:25,264 --> 00:14:27,732
l guess you didn't have
many role models growing up.
279
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,892
ln the collective,
280
00:14:29,001 --> 00:14:30,559
personal accomplishments
are irrelevant.
281
00:14:30,669 --> 00:14:33,331
The shield modifications
to the Delta Flyer are complete.
282
00:14:33,439 --> 00:14:34,497
We're ready for launch.
283
00:14:34,607 --> 00:14:35,539
We?
284
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:37,542
You'll need someone familiar
285
00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:40,738
with Borg technology
to monitor the shields.
286
00:14:40,813 --> 00:14:41,939
l'm volunteering.
287
00:14:42,081 --> 00:14:44,447
Well, you don't sound
too happy about it.
288
00:14:44,516 --> 00:14:47,917
l'm not, but this mission
can benefit from my expertise.
289
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:49,955
ln that case...
290
00:14:50,022 --> 00:14:52,354
welcome aboard.
291
00:14:52,424 --> 00:14:53,948
l'm preparing an inoculant
292
00:14:54,093 --> 00:14:56,857
to counter the effects
of gravimetric radiation.
293
00:14:56,929 --> 00:14:58,521
Of course,
if you were a hologram,
294
00:14:58,597 --> 00:15:00,565
you'd simply adjust
your mobile emitter.
295
00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:02,123
That's what l did
on Arakis Prime,
296
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:03,724
one of my first away missions.
297
00:15:03,836 --> 00:15:05,133
l don't recall that.
298
00:15:05,237 --> 00:15:06,761
This was before you came aboard.
299
00:15:06,872 --> 00:15:09,136
Such an enchanting planet- -
300
00:15:09,208 --> 00:15:10,869
crystalline glaciers...
301
00:15:10,943 --> 00:15:12,843
magnesium vapor atmosphere.
302
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:14,880
l had to stop my
metallurgical scans
303
00:15:14,947 --> 00:15:17,177
just to admire
the sheer beauty of it- -
304
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:20,878
to... ''smell the roses,''
to coin a phrase.
305
00:15:20,986 --> 00:15:22,715
An inefficient use of your time.
306
00:15:22,788 --> 00:15:24,779
Hmm. Perhaps.
307
00:15:24,857 --> 00:15:26,620
We're all finished here,
308
00:15:26,692 --> 00:15:28,250
except for one thing.
309
00:15:29,895 --> 00:15:32,090
Would you mind
recording some images
310
00:15:32,164 --> 00:15:34,325
when you're inside the ellipse,
311
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,891
for those of us not lucky
enough to make the trip?
312
00:15:37,002 --> 00:15:40,267
You envy my participation
on this mission.
313
00:15:40,339 --> 00:15:42,432
There isn't a crewman
aboard who doesn't.
314
00:15:42,541 --> 00:15:43,803
Why?
315
00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:46,572
l can only tell you
how l felt that morning
316
00:15:46,645 --> 00:15:48,909
when l materialized
on Arakis Prime.
317
00:15:48,981 --> 00:15:52,314
l left my footprints
in the magnesite dust,
318
00:15:52,384 --> 00:15:55,945
and thought, ''One small
step for a hologram,
319
00:15:56,021 --> 00:15:58,353
one giant leap for mankind.''
320
00:15:58,424 --> 00:16:00,392
To coin a phrase.
321
00:16:01,894 --> 00:16:05,125
Well, l know the sentiment
isn't exactly original,
322
00:16:05,197 --> 00:16:07,131
but the fact is
l was exhilarated.
323
00:16:07,199 --> 00:16:08,928
Chakotay to Seven of Nine.
324
00:16:09,034 --> 00:16:11,002
Report to Shuttle Bay 2.
325
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:12,230
Good luck.
326
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:26,978
We're approaching the perimeter
327
00:16:27,052 --> 00:16:30,385
in five, four...
328
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:32,083
three, two,
329
00:16:32,157 --> 00:16:34,250
one.
330
00:16:36,562 --> 00:16:37,893
We're within 2,000 kilometers.
331
00:16:37,963 --> 00:16:39,726
Gravimetric interference
is increasing.
332
00:16:39,798 --> 00:16:42,198
lt's nothing compared
to what they're going through.
333
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:44,269
They're really getting
knocked around in there.
334
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:46,998
The shields have weakened,
but they're still holding.
335
00:16:47,106 --> 00:16:48,573
Harry, keep your finger
on that tractor beam
336
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:49,936
in case we have
to pull them out.
337
00:16:50,075 --> 00:16:52,737
They're approaching
the anomaly's core.
338
00:16:52,811 --> 00:16:54,335
We've lost sensor contact.
339
00:16:54,413 --> 00:16:55,505
Harry.
340
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:57,310
The com link is still active.
341
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:03,083
The gravimetric shear
is increasing.
342
00:17:03,155 --> 00:17:05,453
l'm reading diminished
turbulence directly ahead.
343
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:06,991
Full thrusters, Tom.
344
00:17:07,059 --> 00:17:08,356
Punch us through.
345
00:17:15,401 --> 00:17:17,301
Chakotay to Voyager.
346
00:17:19,171 --> 00:17:21,196
We're in.
347
00:17:26,779 --> 00:17:28,576
l wish you could see this,
Captain.
348
00:17:28,647 --> 00:17:29,579
lt's incredible.
349
00:17:29,648 --> 00:17:30,740
We're all ears.
350
00:17:30,816 --> 00:17:33,182
lt's very calm,
no gravimetric distortions.
351
00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:36,881
The EM activity is creating
a natural luminescence.
352
00:17:36,955 --> 00:17:38,820
Tom called it ''mood lighting.''
353
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:41,382
Hey, B'Elanna, it's
the perfect romantic getaway.
354
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:43,052
l'll take your word for it.
355
00:17:43,128 --> 00:17:46,461
We've detected asteroid
fragments, pieces of vessels,
356
00:17:46,532 --> 00:17:48,432
matter from every Quadrant
of the galaxy.
357
00:17:48,534 --> 00:17:50,729
Next time l lose something,
l'll know where to look.
358
00:17:50,836 --> 00:17:52,098
lnstead of a graviton ellipse,
359
00:17:52,204 --> 00:17:54,695
we should call it
the ''Kitchen Sink Anomaly.''
360
00:17:54,807 --> 00:17:56,468
The chemical interactions
have even created
361
00:17:56,542 --> 00:17:58,134
a primitive atmosphere.
362
00:17:58,210 --> 00:18:00,337
Nothing you'd want
to breathe, of course.
363
00:18:00,412 --> 00:18:02,744
What do you make of it, Seven?
364
00:18:02,815 --> 00:18:06,307
Well, l suppose it's intriguing.
365
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:09,821
Some of the matter appears to be
extra- dimensional in origin.
366
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:13,221
Sounds like this anomaly's
gotten around.
367
00:18:13,292 --> 00:18:15,522
Any sign
of the Ares command module?
368
00:18:15,594 --> 00:18:17,528
We're picking up traces
of the hull,
369
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:19,826
but our sensor readings
are being refracted
370
00:18:19,898 --> 00:18:21,263
by all the debris in here.
371
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:25,003
That was a gravimetric surge,
372
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:28,005
caused by the anomaly
altering its course
373
00:18:28,073 --> 00:18:29,335
by .006 degrees.
374
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:31,376
We just had a big jolt
out here.
375
00:18:31,477 --> 00:18:33,104
We didn't feel a thing.
376
00:18:33,178 --> 00:18:35,112
By our estimate, you have
five hours, 36 minutes
377
00:18:35,180 --> 00:18:36,841
before the anomaly
returns to subspace.
378
00:18:36,915 --> 00:18:38,212
You better get a move on.
379
00:18:38,283 --> 00:18:40,080
Understood.
380
00:18:40,152 --> 00:18:41,881
l'm having difficulty
381
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,149
isolating the debris
from the command module.
382
00:18:44,223 --> 00:18:46,555
l'll lay in a search pattern.
383
00:18:46,625 --> 00:18:49,526
lt may take a couple of hours
to cover an area this large.
384
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:52,063
Seven and l can use the time
to take some samples.
385
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:55,066
Get a better idea
of where this anomaly's been.
386
00:18:55,167 --> 00:18:57,328
We should focus on
achieving our objective
387
00:18:57,436 --> 00:18:58,698
and returning to Voyager.
388
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:00,431
We're not here
just to find the module.
389
00:19:00,539 --> 00:19:01,870
We've got an opportunity to...
390
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:02,804
To explore.
391
00:19:02,941 --> 00:19:05,171
l am familiar with our mission.
392
00:19:05,244 --> 00:19:08,372
ln that case, let's get started.
393
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:19,824
The fossilized
microbes in this ore
394
00:19:19,958 --> 00:19:22,085
appear to have had
metallic membranes.
395
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:25,358
We've speculated
about the possibility
396
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:30,129
of metallic life- forms,
but we've never discovered one.
397
00:19:31,236 --> 00:19:33,067
You're excited
by this discovery.
398
00:19:34,773 --> 00:19:35,967
This piece of rock
399
00:19:36,041 --> 00:19:38,168
is billions of years
older than Earth...
400
00:19:38,243 --> 00:19:41,110
from a time when the
galaxy was still forming.
401
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,169
Here.
402
00:19:42,247 --> 00:19:43,714
Commander.
403
00:19:43,782 --> 00:19:44,976
Take it.
404
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,652
You're holding
a piece of history...
405
00:19:50,722 --> 00:19:52,849
maybe even the beginnings
of life itself.
406
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,449
Unlikely.
407
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:56,494
lt's more likely than you think.
408
00:19:56,562 --> 00:19:57,859
This anomaly is as old
409
00:19:57,930 --> 00:19:59,898
as anything
we've ever encountered.
410
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:01,465
l could spend a lifetime
411
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:03,592
studying the things
it's collected.
412
00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:06,330
And leave Voyager
without a First Officer?
413
00:20:06,438 --> 00:20:08,702
They'd manage.
414
00:20:08,774 --> 00:20:11,436
Paleontology was
always my first love.
415
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:13,944
lt's the reason
l joined Starfleet.
416
00:20:14,079 --> 00:20:15,478
Why didn't you pursue it?
417
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:18,448
My sense of responsibility
got in the way- -
418
00:20:18,517 --> 00:20:21,543
first the Maquis, then Voyager.
419
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:24,783
What l wanted always seemed
to take a backseat.
420
00:20:24,856 --> 00:20:27,552
Do you remember
what you wanted to be
421
00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:29,753
before you were assimilated?
422
00:20:29,828 --> 00:20:33,389
l was assimilated
when l was a child.
423
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:37,765
l knew l wanted to be a
paleontologist when l was six.
424
00:20:41,173 --> 00:20:43,232
A ballerina.
425
00:20:45,611 --> 00:20:47,203
Maybe it's not too late.
426
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:49,770
lt was a juvenile fantasy.
427
00:20:49,848 --> 00:20:51,839
Those are the ones
that stick with you.
428
00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:53,316
Heads up, folks.
429
00:20:53,385 --> 00:20:55,285
l think we're getting close.
430
00:20:58,490 --> 00:21:00,685
l've isolated the module.
431
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:02,590
Bearing 39 mark 15.
432
00:21:02,661 --> 00:21:04,652
There.
433
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:11,099
lt appears to be intact.
434
00:21:11,203 --> 00:21:13,433
l'm reading hull
breaches and corrosion,
435
00:21:13,538 --> 00:21:16,063
but all things considered,
it's pretty well preserved.
436
00:21:16,174 --> 00:21:18,404
We weren't expecting
to find a fragment this big.
437
00:21:18,477 --> 00:21:20,945
We can't just stow it
in the aft section.
438
00:21:22,180 --> 00:21:25,445
We'll use a tractor beam
to tow it back to Voyager.
439
00:21:26,518 --> 00:21:27,610
Captain, the anomaly just made
440
00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:30,280
another course change- -
.003 degrees.
441
00:21:30,355 --> 00:21:31,947
That's the third one in an hour.
442
00:21:32,024 --> 00:21:33,719
Something has to be
attracting it.
443
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:35,555
There's nothing on the sensors.
444
00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:37,652
l think it enjoys
being unpredictable.
445
00:21:37,729 --> 00:21:40,493
We know it has a taste
for electromagnetic energy.
446
00:21:40,565 --> 00:21:43,056
So what could generate
an EM field large enough
447
00:21:43,168 --> 00:21:46,001
to get its attention but
still not show up on sensors?
448
00:21:46,071 --> 00:21:49,734
An energy burst from a pulsar,
a neutrino cloud.
449
00:21:49,808 --> 00:21:51,002
Dark matter.
450
00:21:51,076 --> 00:21:54,671
Realign the sensor array
to scan for EM fluctuations.
451
00:21:55,881 --> 00:21:58,213
l've got
a spatial disturbance...
452
00:21:58,283 --> 00:22:00,080
three million kilometers away.
453
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:01,813
lt's a dark- matter asteroid.
454
00:22:01,887 --> 00:22:02,876
Bingo.
455
00:22:02,954 --> 00:22:04,649
The anomaly's heading
right for it.
456
00:22:04,723 --> 00:22:05,815
Time to impact?
457
00:22:05,891 --> 00:22:07,791
Four minutes.
Captain,
458
00:22:07,859 --> 00:22:10,293
we can't predict how the impact
will affect the anomaly.
459
00:22:10,362 --> 00:22:13,229
But it's a safe bet
it won't be a gentle nudge.
460
00:22:13,298 --> 00:22:14,890
Janeway to Delta Flyer.
461
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,092
We've got a problem.
462
00:22:16,201 --> 00:22:17,634
The anomaly's
on a collision course
463
00:22:17,703 --> 00:22:18,829
with a dark- matter asteroid.
464
00:22:18,937 --> 00:22:20,131
We've located the Mars orbiter.
465
00:22:20,238 --> 00:22:22,172
We're adapting a tractor beam.
466
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,172
Give us a minute.
467
00:22:23,241 --> 00:22:24,299
You don't have it;
get out of there.
468
00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:25,137
Captain...
469
00:22:25,210 --> 00:22:25,938
Now.
470
00:22:26,044 --> 00:22:29,172
ls the tractor beam ready?
471
00:22:29,247 --> 00:22:30,373
Just about, sir.
472
00:22:30,449 --> 00:22:33,179
Lock onto the module
and take us out.
473
00:22:33,251 --> 00:22:34,616
We don't have time.
474
00:22:34,686 --> 00:22:36,119
l gave you an order.
475
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:37,450
Commander.
476
00:22:37,522 --> 00:22:39,922
We're not leaving
without that module.
477
00:22:41,793 --> 00:22:42,953
Tom!
478
00:22:50,435 --> 00:22:51,697
Captain, both the anomaly
479
00:22:51,803 --> 00:22:53,270
and the asteroid
are accelerating.
480
00:22:53,338 --> 00:22:55,704
They're attracting each other
like a pair of magnets.
481
00:22:55,774 --> 00:22:57,742
At this rate, it'll impact in...
482
00:22:57,843 --> 00:22:58,810
56 seconds.
483
00:22:58,910 --> 00:23:00,639
Chakotay, you've got
less than a minute.
484
00:23:00,746 --> 00:23:01,735
Acknowledged.
485
00:23:01,780 --> 00:23:04,214
The module is slowing us down.
486
00:23:04,282 --> 00:23:05,510
Maintain tractor lock.
487
00:23:05,584 --> 00:23:07,643
How long until we clear
the anomaly?
488
00:23:07,719 --> 00:23:09,880
At our current speed,
40 seconds.
489
00:23:09,955 --> 00:23:10,944
We can do it.
490
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:17,385
30 seconds to impact.
They're still not clear.
491
00:23:17,462 --> 00:23:18,861
Chakotay, status.
492
00:23:18,930 --> 00:23:21,160
We're on our way.
493
00:23:23,135 --> 00:23:24,466
20 seconds.
494
00:23:42,954 --> 00:23:45,252
Gravimetric distortions
are increasing.
495
00:23:45,323 --> 00:23:46,255
The Flyer.
496
00:23:46,324 --> 00:23:47,723
l've lost the signal.
497
00:24:01,706 --> 00:24:03,435
How badly is he damaged?
498
00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:05,976
He's got a severe concussion
and internal injuries.
499
00:24:06,077 --> 00:24:07,567
We need to get him
back to Voyager.
500
00:24:07,646 --> 00:24:08,977
That may not be possible.
501
00:24:09,047 --> 00:24:10,708
Communications,
shields and propulsion
502
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:12,010
are still off- line.
503
00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:13,380
Well, he's stable for now.
504
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:14,749
l'll give you a hand.
505
00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:16,082
We can repair the shields,
506
00:24:16,154 --> 00:24:18,179
but the engines
are unsalvageable.
507
00:24:18,256 --> 00:24:19,553
lt can't be that bad.
508
00:24:19,624 --> 00:24:20,784
lt's worse.
509
00:24:20,859 --> 00:24:23,885
The anomaly is showing signs
of returning to subspace.
510
00:24:24,029 --> 00:24:25,690
We have less than two hours.
511
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:46,249
He's regaining consciousness.
512
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:47,512
Easy.
513
00:24:47,586 --> 00:24:49,349
Easy. Lie still.
514
00:24:49,421 --> 00:24:52,117
lt feels like l went ten rounds
with an Andorian.
515
00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:53,384
More like 20.
516
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:55,926
You were hit
with a plasma discharge.
517
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:58,622
The gravimetric surge
from the asteroid
518
00:24:58,697 --> 00:25:02,463
caught us at the edge of the
anomaly, tossed us back inside.
519
00:25:02,567 --> 00:25:04,296
The command module?
520
00:25:04,402 --> 00:25:06,563
lt's adrift, 300 meters
off our port bow.
521
00:25:06,671 --> 00:25:08,161
Then we can still salvage it.
522
00:25:08,273 --> 00:25:10,070
Not so fast.
523
00:25:10,141 --> 00:25:12,234
We can't get engines
or shields back on line,
524
00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:13,777
not to mention a tractor beam.
525
00:25:13,879 --> 00:25:15,244
We'll be lucky
to get out of this
526
00:25:15,313 --> 00:25:16,371
in one piece.
527
00:25:16,448 --> 00:25:17,380
l can help.
528
00:25:17,449 --> 00:25:19,417
You're in worse shape
than this ship.
529
00:25:19,484 --> 00:25:20,416
You want to help?
530
00:25:20,485 --> 00:25:21,543
Lie in the bed- -
doctor's orders.
531
00:25:23,788 --> 00:25:25,551
Another gravimetric surge.
532
00:25:25,624 --> 00:25:29,754
l'll see if l can reinforce
the structural integrity field.
533
00:25:33,865 --> 00:25:36,857
You might try drawing power
from auxiliary life support.
534
00:25:36,968 --> 00:25:38,560
The system was
damaged as well.
535
00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:40,729
What about
the secondary relays?
536
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:42,067
They're off- line.
537
00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:43,937
That doesn't leave us
many choices.
538
00:25:44,042 --> 00:25:46,067
Try rerouting
the phaser couplings.
539
00:25:46,144 --> 00:25:49,272
We explored that option
while you were unconscious.
540
00:25:49,347 --> 00:25:50,871
Then maybe you can
bring me up- to- date.
541
00:25:50,949 --> 00:25:51,881
There's no time.
542
00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:53,281
l suggest you recuperate.
543
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:55,285
We have the situation
under control.
544
00:25:55,353 --> 00:25:57,150
lt doesn't look that way
from here.
545
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:59,190
l'm still in command
of this mission.
546
00:25:59,257 --> 00:26:00,849
l want to know what's going on.
547
00:26:00,959 --> 00:26:03,120
Very well.
548
00:26:03,161 --> 00:26:05,823
We were ordered by the Captain
to leave this anomaly,
549
00:26:05,964 --> 00:26:07,955
but you chose
to disobey that command.
550
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:11,298
As a result of your obsession
with the module,
551
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:13,030
we are now trapped
along with it.
552
00:26:13,138 --> 00:26:15,572
ln all probability,
we won't survive without...
553
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,732
Point taken.
554
00:26:16,841 --> 00:26:20,538
Now, why don't you continue
without the attitude?
555
00:26:23,081 --> 00:26:25,879
An inventory
of the damaged systems.
556
00:26:26,017 --> 00:26:27,780
Read it for yourself.
557
00:26:34,292 --> 00:26:35,589
l made a mistake.
558
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:37,651
l put the mission at risk.
559
00:26:37,729 --> 00:26:39,822
You put our lives at risk.
560
00:26:43,735 --> 00:26:46,670
Well, if we don't make it out...
561
00:26:48,073 --> 00:26:50,337
someone's bound
to come looking for us
562
00:26:50,408 --> 00:26:51,841
in a few hundred years.
563
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:58,582
Diffusing a tense situation
with humor... remember?
564
00:26:58,650 --> 00:27:01,118
Voyager to Delta Flyer.
565
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:06,015
They're using a probe
as a transmission relay.
566
00:27:06,091 --> 00:27:08,082
Voyager to Chakotay,
please respond.
567
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:09,592
We can't detect you.
568
00:27:09,661 --> 00:27:10,992
Captain, we can hear you.
569
00:27:11,062 --> 00:27:12,927
l'm matching their frequency.
570
00:27:12,998 --> 00:27:15,762
Voyager, this is
the Delta Flyer. Respond.
571
00:27:15,834 --> 00:27:17,495
Are you all right?
572
00:27:17,602 --> 00:27:18,796
What's your status?
573
00:27:18,903 --> 00:27:22,669
We've sustained heavy damage,
Captain, but we're alive.
574
00:27:22,741 --> 00:27:24,709
lt's good to hear your voice.
575
00:27:27,212 --> 00:27:28,975
We could install
the same shielding
576
00:27:29,047 --> 00:27:31,038
on a class- 2 shuttle,
and take it in.
577
00:27:31,116 --> 00:27:33,311
lt took us hours
to make the modifications
578
00:27:33,385 --> 00:27:34,409
to the Flyer.
579
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:35,748
We've only got 82 minutes
580
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:38,050
before this thing disappears
into subspace.
581
00:27:38,123 --> 00:27:40,353
lt may be possible
to modify a tractor beam
582
00:27:40,425 --> 00:27:42,757
to cut through the
gravimetric interference.
583
00:27:42,827 --> 00:27:45,762
You'll never be able to get
it all the way to the core.
584
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:47,263
Start working on it anyway.
585
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:49,596
You said all the energy conduits
are fused?
586
00:27:49,701 --> 00:27:50,725
Correct.
587
00:27:50,835 --> 00:27:52,894
We can't get power
to any of the primary systems.
588
00:27:53,038 --> 00:27:54,369
lf the replicators were working,
589
00:27:54,439 --> 00:27:56,066
we could whip up
a new plasma manifold
590
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:57,505
and be on our way.
591
00:27:57,575 --> 00:28:00,203
What if l could get you
an old manifold?
592
00:28:00,278 --> 00:28:01,540
Excuse me?
593
00:28:01,613 --> 00:28:04,446
The command module
may be three centuries old,
594
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:06,575
but the power
distribution system
595
00:28:06,651 --> 00:28:09,051
isn't that different
from the Flyer's.
596
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:10,587
Right here.
597
00:28:10,655 --> 00:28:13,249
This control panel
in the main cockpit- -
598
00:28:13,324 --> 00:28:15,519
it was called
an ion distributor.
599
00:28:15,593 --> 00:28:19,085
With a few tweaks, it could be
modified to channel warp plasma.
600
00:28:19,164 --> 00:28:22,361
Even if it were possible,
we'd have to obtain the object
601
00:28:22,434 --> 00:28:23,401
before we can adapt it.
602
00:28:23,501 --> 00:28:24,399
Do you have
603
00:28:24,502 --> 00:28:26,402
enough power to beam one of you
to the module?
604
00:28:26,471 --> 00:28:27,995
Yes, ma'am. l'll go.
605
00:28:28,106 --> 00:28:30,074
Not so fast, Tom.
606
00:28:30,175 --> 00:28:32,006
lf another
gravimetric surge hits,
607
00:28:32,077 --> 00:28:33,601
we'll need you at the helm.
608
00:28:33,678 --> 00:28:34,872
Seven?
609
00:28:35,013 --> 00:28:38,972
Are you encouraging me
to volunteer again, Captain?
610
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:41,484
You read my mind.
611
00:28:41,553 --> 00:28:43,487
Come on.
612
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:46,422
Just a little closer.
613
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:55,631
That's it for thrusters,
614
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:58,066
but l got us
within transporter range. Ready?
615
00:28:58,169 --> 00:28:59,830
Stand by.
616
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:15,550
lronic. You're doing
what l've always dreamt of.
617
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:20,250
Remember, when you
set foot in that module,
618
00:29:20,325 --> 00:29:22,418
you'll be stepping into history.
619
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:24,428
History is irrelevant.
620
00:29:24,496 --> 00:29:26,464
lrrelevant?
621
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:30,530
Do me a favor.
622
00:29:30,635 --> 00:29:32,398
When you're over there,
623
00:29:32,504 --> 00:29:36,235
download whatever you can
from their database
624
00:29:36,307 --> 00:29:39,367
and also, take a minute
to look around...
625
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:42,379
so you can tell us
what it was like.
626
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:44,005
There may not be time...
627
00:29:47,986 --> 00:29:49,851
but l'll try.
628
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:52,890
Good luck.
629
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:07,404
What's it like in there?
630
00:30:07,472 --> 00:30:08,803
Dark.
631
00:30:13,845 --> 00:30:17,440
The ambient temperature
is minus 260 degrees.
632
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:23,151
There appear to be fractures
in the aft bulkheads.
633
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:24,745
ls the cockpit intact?
634
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:26,518
Yes.
635
00:30:47,245 --> 00:30:50,339
l've brought the main computer
on line.
636
00:30:50,415 --> 00:30:54,476
l've lost contact
with the team on the surface,
637
00:30:54,552 --> 00:30:57,453
and l can't get a fix
on my position.
638
00:30:57,522 --> 00:30:59,012
What was that?
639
00:30:59,157 --> 00:31:00,624
There's an active data file.
640
00:31:00,725 --> 00:31:02,590
lt appears
to contain log entries.
641
00:31:02,627 --> 00:31:04,527
Can you play them for us?
642
00:31:05,964 --> 00:31:07,795
l believe so.
643
00:31:10,501 --> 00:31:13,061
Consider it my last request.
644
00:31:19,444 --> 00:31:22,607
...and l can't get
a fix on my position,
645
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,379
but l'm alive, and the CM seems
to be intact.
646
00:31:29,087 --> 00:31:31,715
l'm inside this whatever it is.
647
00:31:31,789 --> 00:31:33,381
Could you hear that, Chakotay?
648
00:31:33,458 --> 00:31:35,688
lt's amazing.
649
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,820
Everyone assumed
he was killed instantly.
650
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,592
...what l've gotten myself into.
651
00:31:40,665 --> 00:31:42,963
lt's very calm, like l'm
in the eye of a hurricane.
652
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:44,625
lt's a little spooky.
653
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:46,260
The way l figure it,
654
00:31:46,371 --> 00:31:48,464
if there's a way in,
there's got to be a way out.
655
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:50,541
l'm going to fire up
the transpectral imager
656
00:31:50,608 --> 00:31:52,701
before l initiate
another engine burn...
657
00:31:54,012 --> 00:31:56,776
...collect as much data
as l can.
658
00:31:56,848 --> 00:31:59,840
Jeannie, l may not be bringing
you back a Mars rock,
659
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:01,749
but l promise you,
660
00:32:01,853 --> 00:32:03,753
l'm going to do everything
l can to get home.
661
00:32:08,793 --> 00:32:11,990
Ares lV Mission Record,
October 23.
662
00:32:12,063 --> 00:32:14,327
l'm starting to feel like Jonah.
663
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:17,334
How long was he in the belly
of that whale? Three days?
664
00:32:17,435 --> 00:32:21,303
l got him beat
by a day or two already.
665
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:26,501
The EM interference
666
00:32:26,577 --> 00:32:28,875
is disrupting communications
and LlDAR,
667
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,710
and l can't see the stars,
668
00:32:30,782 --> 00:32:33,751
so there's no way
l can get a fix on my position.
669
00:32:33,818 --> 00:32:36,286
lf this thing's moving as fast
as it was when it pulled me in,
670
00:32:36,354 --> 00:32:38,754
l could be
a long way from Mars by now.
671
00:32:40,258 --> 00:32:42,089
The imager's
been working overtime
672
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,889
cataloguing
all the matter in here,
673
00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:46,430
but a lot of it defies analysis.
674
00:32:46,497 --> 00:32:47,555
l think we're going to need
675
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:49,099
to make room
on the periodic table.
676
00:32:53,438 --> 00:32:56,498
Where the hell am l?
677
00:32:56,607 --> 00:32:59,007
Power levels have dropped
another 15 percent
678
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,975
since my last systems check.
679
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:32,833
l... l think l just saw
another spacecraft.
680
00:33:32,944 --> 00:33:34,707
Either that...
681
00:33:34,779 --> 00:33:37,748
or all this dehydrated food
has gone to my head.
682
00:33:43,287 --> 00:33:44,720
l got it.
683
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:47,087
The hull's made
of some kind of alloy.
684
00:33:47,158 --> 00:33:49,217
l can't make heads
or tails of it.
685
00:33:49,293 --> 00:33:51,488
l shouldn't have been
so dismissive.
686
00:33:51,562 --> 00:33:54,190
l remember
giving Kumagawa a hard time
687
00:33:54,265 --> 00:33:57,428
when she claimed
she saw a UFO over the Gulf.
688
00:33:57,535 --> 00:33:59,935
l told her it was a meteor
689
00:34:00,004 --> 00:34:02,404
or another piece of Muir.
690
00:34:02,507 --> 00:34:05,772
l guess l owe you
an apology, Rose.
691
00:34:11,015 --> 00:34:17,113
Ares lV Mission Record,
October 25.
692
00:34:17,188 --> 00:34:19,213
This has been
a nice place to visit,
693
00:34:19,290 --> 00:34:20,882
but l'm ready to come home.
694
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:22,619
l've prepped the ion drive,
695
00:34:22,693 --> 00:34:25,287
channeled all the power
from the thruster reserves
696
00:34:25,363 --> 00:34:26,728
into the main tank.
697
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:31,132
l have enough fuel
for one last engine burn.
698
00:34:31,235 --> 00:34:33,203
Wish me luck.
699
00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:48,942
lgnition sequence.
700
00:34:50,855 --> 00:34:54,484
Five, four, three, two...
701
00:34:56,661 --> 00:35:00,222
l'm losing pitch control.
702
00:35:00,298 --> 00:35:02,061
Gyros aren't responding.
703
00:35:03,668 --> 00:35:04,794
Power failure.
704
00:35:04,902 --> 00:35:06,494
l've got to abort.
705
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:08,572
l'm not going to make it!
706
00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:23,277
All systems go.
707
00:35:23,354 --> 00:35:24,787
Watch me, Dad.
708
00:35:24,856 --> 00:35:27,290
l'm flying.
709
00:35:30,361 --> 00:35:31,555
Bad landing.
710
00:35:31,629 --> 00:35:33,961
Call the MedEvac team.
711
00:35:35,867 --> 00:35:38,028
Paris to Seven.
Status?
712
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,627
l've located the device,
but it's fused to the hull.
713
00:35:40,738 --> 00:35:41,796
Stand by.
714
00:35:41,906 --> 00:35:42,895
Make it quick.
715
00:35:43,074 --> 00:35:44,564
We've got less than 15 minutes.
716
00:35:44,675 --> 00:35:46,939
Understood.
717
00:35:50,515 --> 00:35:53,313
All systems go.
718
00:35:53,384 --> 00:35:56,785
Watch me, Dad. l'm flying.
719
00:36:00,458 --> 00:36:02,221
Bad landing.
720
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:04,557
Call the MedEvac team.
721
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:09,600
John Kelly's first flight...
722
00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:12,101
not exactly A- okay.
723
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:14,161
Remember that, Dad?
724
00:36:14,272 --> 00:36:16,570
l jumped off the roof
725
00:36:16,641 --> 00:36:18,609
with a parachute
made out of blankets.
726
00:36:20,511 --> 00:36:24,277
l guess l didn't calculate
the aerodynamics.
727
00:36:24,348 --> 00:36:26,339
Of course...
728
00:36:26,417 --> 00:36:28,408
l was only six.
729
00:36:28,486 --> 00:36:33,753
l guess this is
John Kelly's last flight.
730
00:36:33,824 --> 00:36:37,885
This time
l can't blame it on pilot error.
731
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:41,089
This time... no regrets.
732
00:36:41,165 --> 00:36:45,795
What l've seen... proves...
733
00:36:45,903 --> 00:36:48,303
we were right to come out here.
734
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:50,465
We're not alone.
735
00:36:50,575 --> 00:36:52,406
l know that now.
736
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:56,943
The module's losing power.
737
00:36:59,016 --> 00:37:01,985
l'm taking life support
off- line.
738
00:37:02,086 --> 00:37:05,852
Rerouting whatever's left
to the imager.
739
00:37:07,592 --> 00:37:10,925
Keep it running...
as long as possible.
740
00:37:12,964 --> 00:37:15,728
Mission control...
741
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,064
Dad...
742
00:37:18,169 --> 00:37:20,296
whoever finds this...
743
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:23,773
do me a favor.
744
00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:28,535
Take all the data
l've collected...
745
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:31,811
put it to good use.
746
00:37:34,018 --> 00:37:36,782
l hope you don't look at this
as a failure.
747
00:37:38,689 --> 00:37:40,554
l don't.
748
00:37:40,625 --> 00:37:42,889
Actually...
749
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,723
l do have one regret.
750
00:37:44,795 --> 00:37:47,593
l never found out...
751
00:37:47,665 --> 00:37:49,530
who won the World Series.
752
00:37:54,171 --> 00:37:56,605
l'm tired.
753
00:37:56,674 --> 00:37:58,232
l can't...
754
00:38:16,260 --> 00:38:17,557
Paris to Seven.
755
00:38:17,628 --> 00:38:19,562
How's it going over there?
756
00:38:19,630 --> 00:38:21,063
l have the distributor.
757
00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:23,225
l'm downloading
Lieutenant Kelly's database.
758
00:38:23,301 --> 00:38:26,327
Hurry, we're running out
of time.
759
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:48,519
Lock onto my bio- signature
and my combadge.
760
00:38:48,592 --> 00:38:49,854
Seven?
761
00:38:49,927 --> 00:38:51,053
Energize.
762
00:39:07,445 --> 00:39:08,707
Delta Flyer, report.
763
00:39:08,779 --> 00:39:10,770
We're trying to integrate
the distributor.
764
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:11,974
Stand by, Captain.
765
00:39:12,049 --> 00:39:13,311
How long do they have?
766
00:39:13,384 --> 00:39:15,045
Four minutes.
767
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:19,216
Try bypassing
the power couplings.
768
00:39:19,290 --> 00:39:20,917
No effect.
769
00:39:20,991 --> 00:39:24,927
Resequence the ion modulators;
see if that does it.
770
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:29,460
Power conversion
in progress.
771
00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:33,230
We have propulsion, shields.
772
00:39:33,337 --> 00:39:36,101
The plasma flow
is still fluctuating.
773
00:39:36,173 --> 00:39:37,731
Stay on top of it.
774
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:39,275
Paris to Voyager.
775
00:39:39,343 --> 00:39:40,867
Go ahead.
776
00:39:41,011 --> 00:39:43,275
Open the Shuttle Bay doors;
we're coming home.
777
00:39:43,347 --> 00:39:45,281
Acknowledged.
778
00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:47,476
Laying in an escape trajectory.
779
00:39:53,524 --> 00:39:55,082
The ellipse
is returning to subspace.
780
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:56,592
The Flyer.
781
00:39:56,660 --> 00:39:58,423
They're approaching
the perimeter...
782
00:39:58,496 --> 00:40:01,260
2,000 meters... 1,800.
783
00:40:01,332 --> 00:40:02,822
The anomaly's submerging.
784
00:40:05,269 --> 00:40:06,327
Are we in tractor range?
785
00:40:06,437 --> 00:40:07,369
Not yet.
786
00:40:07,438 --> 00:40:08,370
Take us closer.
787
00:40:08,439 --> 00:40:09,371
Captain?
788
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:10,407
Do it.
789
00:40:10,508 --> 00:40:11,497
They are still out of reach.
790
00:40:11,609 --> 00:40:12,541
Another 300 meters.
791
00:40:12,610 --> 00:40:13,577
Closer.
792
00:40:13,644 --> 00:40:14,941
We'll be pulled
right in with them.
793
00:40:15,045 --> 00:40:16,034
Just a few more meters.
794
00:40:19,116 --> 00:40:20,947
We're too close!
795
00:40:21,085 --> 00:40:22,347
l've got a lock.
796
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:24,820
Reverse thrusters, full impulse.
797
00:40:48,245 --> 00:40:52,181
Captain's Log,
Stardate 53301.2.
798
00:40:52,249 --> 00:40:53,546
The away team collected
799
00:40:53,617 --> 00:40:56,415
over 60 teraquads of data
on the anomaly.
800
00:40:56,487 --> 00:40:58,455
Before we begin
to analyze them,
801
00:40:58,522 --> 00:41:00,888
we've decided
to pay our respects
802
00:41:00,991 --> 00:41:01,923
to an old colleague.
803
00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:04,120
Space...
804
00:41:04,195 --> 00:41:07,289
literally, it means ''nothing''...
805
00:41:07,364 --> 00:41:10,595
a vacuum
between stars and planets.
806
00:41:10,701 --> 00:41:13,135
But by the same token,
it means everything.
807
00:41:13,204 --> 00:41:15,900
lt's what connects
all our worlds- -
808
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,270
Vulcan, Qo'noS,
809
00:41:18,342 --> 00:41:21,072
Talax, Earth.
810
00:41:22,346 --> 00:41:24,280
Centuries ago,
811
00:41:24,348 --> 00:41:28,614
mankind sent its first wave
of explorers into that void.
812
00:41:28,686 --> 00:41:31,177
Astronauts like Mr. Kelly.
813
00:41:31,255 --> 00:41:34,622
They paved the way
for the first colonies,
814
00:41:34,692 --> 00:41:36,626
the first starships.
815
00:41:36,694 --> 00:41:39,492
For those of us
who've made space our home,
816
00:41:41,198 --> 00:41:44,133
We commend
the spirit and the bravery
817
00:41:44,235 --> 00:41:46,897
of Lieutenant John Mark Kelly
818
00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:49,268
as we commit his body...
819
00:41:49,340 --> 00:41:51,604
to space.
820
00:41:51,675 --> 00:41:53,905
He will not be forgotten.
821
00:41:53,978 --> 00:41:56,242
Captain...
822
00:42:00,284 --> 00:42:03,185
l did not know this individual.
823
00:42:03,254 --> 00:42:06,189
Had l encountered him
while l was a Borg,
824
00:42:06,257 --> 00:42:08,589
l would have found
his technology
825
00:42:08,659 --> 00:42:10,354
unworthy of assimilation...
826
00:42:12,630 --> 00:42:15,895
but we are more alike
than one might think.
827
00:42:16,033 --> 00:42:19,628
ln a sense,
his desire to explore
828
00:42:19,737 --> 00:42:22,729
was not unlike
a quest for perfection.
829
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,936
His contribution
helped secure humanity's future,
830
00:42:27,044 --> 00:42:30,241
and in some ways, my own.
831
00:42:33,551 --> 00:42:36,611
The Yankees...
832
00:42:36,687 --> 00:42:39,019
in six games.
833
00:42:45,262 --> 00:42:47,992
All hands, attention.
834
00:42:52,202 --> 00:42:53,965
Honor guard.
