Kim walks to Cosimo's coffee shop.
	Cosimo: "Troubles, Harry?" Kim: "You could say that." Cosimo: "Let's have some coffee."

They sit down. "I was sent here to watch you, to make sure that you were alright. But now it's clear that you are not." Kim: "Who are you?" Cosimo: "We exist in what you would call a temporal inversion fold in the space-time matrix. That's not necessary to understand. It only matters that there was an accident. Your shuttle intersected one of our time streams and boom! a few things were altered as the result of the accident. History and the events were scrambled a bit and you ended up here." Kim: "Well, you've got to get me back." Cosimo: "We don't know how." Kim: "What?" Cosimo: "We only know that an accident occurred. We don't know how or why." Kim: "But that's not good enough. There's got to be something we can do. Where is this time stream of yours? Maybe I can use it to get back." Cosimo: "The time stream weaves through the galaxy like a thread. I could show you how to find and you could try to recreate the conditions that existed before the accident. You could fly back into it, but there's no guarantee what will happen to you if you do." Kim: "What do you mean?" Cosimo: "Well, you may be able to change reality again, but there's no way to predict how it would change. You could at any point in the space-time continuum. You might return to your original reality or you might find yourself a billion years in the future or at some time before sentient life even existed on your planet." Kim: "I guess I'll have to take that chance because somehow I have to get back." Cosimo: "Are you so sure? This is a pretty good place for you, Harry. You have a wonderful job with Starfleet, a beautiful woman who loves you. Why be so quick to turn your back on this? Maybe this is your 'fate', isn't that the word you people use? that thing that was meant to be, hmm? Seems to me you're actually a very lucky man." Kim: "What about Danny Byrd? He isn't so lucky. And Tom Paris? Fate wasn't so kind to him. No, it isn't supposed to be this way. I'm supposed to be on Voyager, in the Delta Quadrant. That's where I have to go." Cosimo: "Very well." He produces a small disk. "This will tell you where the time stream intersects this region of space. That's as much as I can do for you." Kim: "Thanks." Cosimo: "Good luck, Harry Kim of Voyager. You're going to need it, unless of course you decide to stay, in which case I'll see you in the morning, same time, Vulcan mocha extra sweet." Cosimo leaves him.

After a moment in thought, Kim clenches the disk in his hand as he makes a firm decision.

In the apartment, Kim inserts a device into the security anklet, intent on disabling it. As he works he does not notice Libby watching him until her approach makes a sound.

He starts. "Libby. I didn't hear you come in." Libby: "Obviously. You're in enough trouble as it is. What do you want them to do - put you in prison?!" Kim: "No! I'm just trying to get back to where I belong." Libby, despairing: "Where you belong. You used to say you belonged here with me. I guess everything's changed, hasn't it." Kim: "Look, I know the last few days must've been pretty tough on you-" Libby: "Do you?! Do you really know what it's like when the person you love suddenly changes?!" Kim: "It's still me. The guy who was in your seat at the Ktarian Music Festival. The guy who took three weeks to work up the courage to ask you out. The guy who still wakes up in the middle of the night and says your name out loud, hoping you'll answer back." Libby: "But if you're really Harry, you wouldn't be trying to hard to get away from me!" Kim: "I'm not trying to get away from you. I love you, and I promise I want to stay here more than anything, but I can't." Libby: "I don't understand. I don't understand any of this." Kim: "I don't think anybody knows me as well as you do. So you of all people should know that once I've made up my mind about something, I can't let it go. In some ways, it'd be a lot easier to forget about Voyager, just settle in here and build a life, but that wouldn't be me. You wouldn't be getting the Harry Kim you fell in love with. Does that make any sense?" The anklet gives off an alert. "The tampering alarm," he comments. "Security will be here any second. Better go. I promise you, I'm going to try to get back. It may take awhile, and I may not make it, but I swear I will try."

	Two Starfleet security officers beam into the apartment.
	Kim leaves through a window.
	He looks down from the fire escape, realising that he has to descend to street level.

Libby closes the window as the security guards leap after Kim. She turns and blocks the way.

"Sorry," she says.

Kim hurries down the fire escape.

A security guard lunges at Kim from a window as Kim passes by, but misses.

The security guard grabs Kim!
