MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
Episode 82
Part H

 

Computer: "Specify target." Doctor and EMH Mark 2: "Romulans!"

The three separate Prometheus modules deploy.

The Prometheus modules fire achieve a spectacular direct hit on a Warbird.

The Warbird explodes.

EMH Mark 2: "Bull's eye! The Warbirds are in retreat! Doctor, we've done it!"

EMH Mark 2: "Two holograms, alone. Romulans on one side, Starfleet on the other. Alarms beeping everywhere!"

Doctor: "EMH Mark 2, newborn but filled with courage."

EMH Mark 2: "EMH Mark 1 armed with years of experience." Doctor: "Together they emerged triumphant."

EMH Mark 2: "The end." An audio alert sounds. "Or not."

Two Starfleet personnel start to beam aboard with phaser rifles.

They eye the two EMHs.

Doctor: "Welcome to the Prometheus, gentlemen. It's about time." The Starfleet personnel lower the phaser rifles, seeing that the Prometheus is secure.

Somewhat later, on USS Voyager in the Delta Quadrant.....

In Voyager's Astrometrics Lab, Seven reports: "I'm receiving a transmission through the sensor network. Origin, the Alpha Quadrant."

Torres: "Does it contain a holographic subroutine?" Seven: "Yes." Torres: "Transfer it to Sickbay." She taps her combadge. "Torres to Bridge. Captain, I think he's back."

Janeway, Chakotay and Tuvok enter Sickbay. She sees the transfer occurring but there seems to be a problem.

She goes to the computer console, and fine-tunes the download.

The Doctor materialises successfully. Janeway: "Doctor, report."

Doctor, finding himself back on Voyager: "I, I did it!" Janeway: "You completed the mission?" Doctor: "Yes. Once the Romulans were out of the way.

"Tuvok: "Romulans?" Doctor: "They'd taken over the Prometheus, the ship I was on, but I managed to turn the tables on them with a little help from a fellow-EMH." Here the Doctor mimics a hand gesture used by his new friend the EMH Mark 2.

Chakotay: "You got through to Starfleet?"

Doctor: "I spoke directly with headquarters. Apparently, Voyager was declared officially lost 14 months ago. I set the record straight. I told them everything that's happened to this crew. They said they would contact your families to tell them the news and promised that they won't stop until they've found a way to get Voyager back home. And they asked me to relay a message. They wanted you to know you're no longer alone."

Janeway: "60,000 light years seems a little closer today."
