PART B

ENDGAME : Episodes 171 and 172 : portrayed in several parts

The Communications Research Center at Starfleet Headquarters which contained the Project Pathfinder is now used to teach Starfleet Academy cadets.

Reginald Barclay has reached the rank of Commander and he is an Academy lecturer. He begins the first class of the semester by activating a floor-mounted holo-emitter which projects a holo-image of a Borg drone.
Cmdr. Barclay addresses his class: "Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Borg."

Cmdr. Barclay: "Over the course of this term, you're going to become intimately familiar with the Collective. You'll learn about the assimilation process, the Borg hierarchy, and the psychology of the hive mind. And when it comes to your performance in this class, my expectations are going to be no different than those of the Borg Queen herself - perfection."

Cmdr Barclay: "This semester we are very fortunate to have a special guest lecturer, the woman who literally wrote the book on the Borg - Admiral Kathryn Janeway."

Admiral Janeway: "Thank you, Commander. I'm glad to be here." A cadet gets to his feet. "A question already, cadet?"
Cadet: "I suppose it could wait until after class, Admiral."
Admiral Janeway: "As they say in the temporal mechanics department, there's no time like the present."

Cadet: "In the year 2377 you aided the Borg resistance movement known as Unimatrix Zero."
Commander Barclay: "Sounds like someone's been reading ahead."
Admiral Janeway: "I thought you had a question, cadet."
Cadet: "Yes, ma'am. When you informed the Queen that you were going to liberate thousands of her drones, could you describe the look on her face?"
The look on the Admiral's face shows what she thinks of the question.

Another cadet has a question.

Cadet: "Admiral, some of us were talking before class and we were curious. How extensive was Seven of Nine's involvement with Unimatrix Zero?"

Admiral Janeway: "I'd er....prefer not to discuss Seven of Nine.
Cadet: "Yes, ma'am. Sorry."

Someone enters the class and whispers to the Admiral who gives her apologies, "Excuse me." before leaving.
Commander Barclay takes over the class. "Ok, who can tell me a little about nanotechnology?"

In her office, Admiral Janeway communicates with Miral, an Ensign, and daughter of Tom and B'Elanna.
Miral: "I'm sorry to pull you out of class, Admiral."

Admiral Janeway: "Did you see it?"
Miral: "Yes, ma'am."
Admiral Janeway: "And?"
Miral: "It works!"
Admiral Janeway: "Korath has agreed to the exchange?"
Miral: "Yes."
Admiral Janeway: "But?"
Miral: "He's insisting on handing it over to you personally."
Admiral Janeway: "I'll be there as soon as I can. Good work, Ensign Paris."

Admiral Janeway in her office.

At Starfleet Medical, Tuvok is in a room dimly lit by candles. Scattered over the floor are hundreds of pieces of discarded paper covered with indecipherable mathematics and geometric drawings. Tuvok crouches on the floor, back arched, elbows to the carpets, as he writes busily.
The door opens and Admiral Janeway stands in the doorway: "Hello, Tuvok." Beyond her is the hospital corridor, brightly lit.
Tuvok shields his eyes. "The light."
"Oh, I'm sorry." The Admiral enters and the doors close.

Tuvok: "I know you."
Admiral Janeway: "That's right. I'm your friend, Kathryn Janeway. Remember?"
Tuvok: "You are an imposter."
Admiral Janeway: "No, Tuvok. It's me."
Tuvok: "Admiral Janeway visits on Sunday. Today is Thursday. Logic dictates you are not who you claim to be."

Admiral Janeway: "How are you?"
Tuvok: "I am close to completing my work."
Admiral Janeway: "I'm glad to hear it."
Tuvok: "It is difficult with so many interruptions."
Admiral Janeway: "I'm sorry. Would you like me to leave?"
Tuvok: "You may stay." He continues to write.

Admiral Janeway: "Tuvok, there's something I need to tell you. It's very important." Tuvok continues to write. "I'm going away, and I may not see you again. Commander Barclay and the Doctor will continue to visit. They'll bring you anything you need."

Tuvok: "The Doctor comes on Wednesdays. Commander Barclay's visits are erratic." He bends down and continues to write.

Admiral Janeway kisses his head in farewell.

"Goodbye, Tuvok."

She places a picture of Voyager's senior staff on the dresser and leaves quietly. Tuvok continues to write.
