PART 1

Voyager encounters a rift in the space-time continuum

Voyager was launched in the year 2371.

The ship's emergency transporters have a range of only about ten kilometres.

Astrometric readings enable the crew to determine that they have gone back in time to the year 1996.

Since they are in a time with satellite technology, the crew maintains a high orbit and modulates the shields to scatter Earth radar.

PART 2

With Voyager's weapons offline, the crew can arm photon torpedoes but cannot launch them because the launch activation sequencers do not respond to commands. Since there is no time to re-route fire command through the helm, Janeway orders Kim to open the access portal to Torpedo Bay 1 so that she can reconfigure the torpedo for manual launch. With the activation sequencers down she has to launch from inside the tube, which is dangerous due to the plasma exhaust from the torpedo.

Janeway practises tennis shots in her ready room, and a 24th century tennis racquet is seen.

Henry Starling is able to use Voyager's transporter beam as a downlink and steals 20 per cent of Voyager's computer files, including the Doctor's program.

PART 2

Starling reconfigures the Doctor's tactile response sensors to allow him to feel pain. Starling also equips with an autonomous self-sustaining mobile holo-emitter which allows him to move freely i.e. he is no longer confined to areas equipped with holo-emitters. As he retains the mobile emitter after the episode, from now on his program can now be easily and immediately downloaded back and forth from the ship's computer to the mobile emitter.

PART 2

Torres uses interferometric dispersion to hide a type-9 shuttle from radar detection and configures the shuttlecraft to disguise the visual profile to make them look like a twentieth-century aircraft. The interference from Starling's twenty-ninth-century tricorder disables the shuttlecraft's aft thrusters, causing it to crash. The shuttlecraft is retrieved.

PART 1

A high energy polaron pulse fired from the deflector interferes with the subatomic disruptor fired from the Federation Timeship Aeon. The weapon takes helm control offline and starts to pull Voyager's molecular structure apart.

The trip through the temporal rift affects Voyager's primary systems: weapons are offline, three EPS conduits are blown, and the main transporter buffer crashes. Later damage includes the inertial dampeners going offline, minor power fluctuations in the impulse drive, and a few burned out circuits in the main computer core.

PART 2

Voyager's weapons are offline. See under STATUS REPORT.

Federation Starfleet exists in the 29th century. The Timeship Aeon has a hyper-impulse drive and travels via temporal inversion. The "new" Captain Braxton in Part 2 informs the crew that in his century they can scan time in much the same way 24th century sensors scan space. The Temporal Integrity Commission detected their vessel over 20th century Earth and he was sent to correct that anomaly. He cites the Temporal Prime Directive as the reason he cannot send the crew back to the Alpha Quadrant.
