He turns and sees 2375-Seven. But she is suffering the onset of sensory aphasia and is unable to fire her phaser.
View through 2375-Seven's eyes.
Keeping an eye on her, Braxton #2 gets out his tricorder and activates it. He beams out before she can fire her phaser.
2375-Seven sighs and lowers her phaser. Via Relativity's comms: "I've lost him."
Ducane, via Relativity's comms: "He's still on Voyager but he's gone five years ahead."
2375-Seven, with 2371-Janeway and crew approaching, via Relativity's comms: "Initiate transport."
She is beamed out.
2371-Janeway finds no one.
In USS Voyager's Messhall, it is the occasion of the Ping-Pong tournament, held in the year 2375. A volley is in progress between the teams.
2375-Paris, hitting the winner: "Yeah!"
2375-Neelix, keeping score on a PADD: "Point, server."
2375-Paris: "It's all in the wrist."
2375-Torres: "Score?"
2375-Neelix: "Nineteen - eighteen."
The port doors open and Braxton #2 hurries in, coming to a stop beside the table.
2375-Paris: "Who are you?"
Braxton #2 turns and looks back as his pursuer enters.
2375-future-Seven enters, but she cannot move quickly. (To distinguish between the two Sevens of the time frame 2375, "2375-present-Seven" indicates the one at the time of the Ping-Pong tournament, and "2375-future-Seven" indicates the one that was extracted by the USS Relativity a second before USS Voyager is destroyed.)
Braxton #2 turns and sees her. She raises her phaser. He does the same. She fires, hitting him in the chest. He staggers backward.
2375-Kim turns and stares.
2375-Paris, via Voyager's comms: "Bridge, intruder alert, Deck 2!"
Braxton #2 reaches for his tricorder to beam out but 2375-future-Seven fires at his hand, causing the tricorder to fly out of his hand.
Puzzled by the presence of two Sevens, 2375-Neelix looks round at 2375-future-Seven who slumps against the wall.
Braxton #2 runs out of the starboard doors.
2375-present-Seven and 2375-Torres put down their bats and go over to 2375-future-Seven.
2375-present-Seven: "Explain."
2375-future-Seven: "No time. You must apprehend him. He's trying to destroy Voyager."
Ducane, via Relativity's comms: "Seven of Nine, status."
2375-future-Seven: "I am incapacitated with sensory aphasia."
Ducane, via Relativity's comms: "Stand by. I'm pulling you out."
2375-future-Seven, just before being beamed out, to 2375-Seven: "Stop him. Your future depends on it."
2375-future-Seven is beamed aboard USS Relatvity.
Ducane: "Braxton?"
2375-future-Seven: "I disabled his tricorder. He's trapped there. Seven of Nine is pursuing him. She is efficient. She will succeed."
Ducane: "Let's hope so, because we've run out of options." He moves away.
USS Voyager, in a 2375 corridor, Braxton #2 hurries along. Then ahead he sees a security team. He turns, to see 2375-present-Seven holding a phaser. He turns again, as 2375-Janeway comes up to him holding a phaser aimed at him.
Braxton #2 to his nemesis: "You again!"
2375-Janeway, as the security team and Seven converge on Braxton #2: "I don't believe we've met, Ensign."
2375-present-Seven takes the temporal disruptor and looks at it.
2375-Janeway: "No, I'm wrong, we have met - Captain Braxton."
Braxton #2 snarls: "Not any more. I've lost my rank thanks to you."
2375-future-Seven, via Relativity's comms: "Seven of Nine to Seven of Nine. What's your status?"
2375-Seven, replying via Relativity's comms: "We've apprehended Braxton. How shall we proceed?"
2375-future-Seven, via Relativity's comms: "Stand by."
Aboard USS Relativity, Ducane activates a control and Braxton #2 is beamed aboard. Immediately two crewmen cover him with phasers.
