1 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,794 Good afternoon, Ensign. How are we doing today? 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,351 - We're doing just fine, thank you. - Good. 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,473 I was wondering if you'd take a look at the thermal array in the kitchen. 4 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,349 It overloaded this morning and vaporised an entire pot roast. 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,672 - I'd be happy to. - Wonderful. 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,799 I informed Ensign Kim hours ago, and he still hasn't come down to fix it. 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,032 There's a problem with the structural integrity grid. 8 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,158 I'm sure he hasn't forgotten about you. 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:39,919 If we're all eating cold leftovers, who do you think the crew will blame? 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,436 Looks like you need a new set of anodyne relays. 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,718 I'll go and get some for you out of storage. 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,909 And while you're here, would you mind taking a look at the replicator? 13 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,631 It can't make anything with large amounts of cellulose. 14 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,918 Cabbages, psyllium, green beans, celery - 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,549 it all comes out looking too yellow. 16 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,633 I thought you didn't use replicated vegetables. 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,111 Always fresh, organic, from the airponic bay. 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,476 The yields have been low lately. 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,713 Normally, I would never dream of using synthesised veggies. 20 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,716 It looks like a malfunction in the power grid. Shouldn't be too difficult... 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,516 What's wrong? 22 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,470 I think I'm having a contraction. Oh, yeah, it's a contraction, all right. 23 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,395 That's wonderful. Labour can't be far behind. 24 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,714 Let's get you to sickbay. Try to breathe now. Deep, regular breaths. 25 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,918 Not so fast now. We're having a baby! 26 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,317 Push! 27 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,309 Don't forget to breathe. Deep, regular breaths. 28 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,471 That's it. 29 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,319 Cervical dilation is at 10.2 centimetres. Prostaglandin levels are normal. 30 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,713 - Push, Ensign. - You push, damn it! I'm sick of pushing! 31 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,952 I know you're fatigued. Focus on your breathing. 32 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,798 Remember the exercises we did. When you feel a contraction, bear down. 33 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,998 It's been seven hours. How long does it take to deliver a baby? 34 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,710 - As long as it takes, Mr Paris. - Indeed. 35 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:44,070 - My wife was in labour for 96 hours. - Four days? 36 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,039 Pregnancy and patience go hand in hand. 37 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,034 I didn't expect to be this nervous. It's not even my child. 38 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,469 In a way, this child belongs to all of us. It is the first baby born on Voyager. 39 00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:03,033 I'm just not sure whether I should be welcoming it on board, or apologising. 40 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,559 Voyager isn't my idea of a nursery, nor the Delta Quadrant a playground. 41 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,999 My father had a saying. "Home is wherever you happen to be." 42 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,870 Long-range sensors are picking up Vidiian communications ahead. 43 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,920 - All stop. A ship? - 20 ships within sensor range. 44 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,917 I am also detecting a G-type star system with two inhabited planets. Vidiian. 45 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,278 - We're headed into their territory. - I'm in no mood to donate organs. 46 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,670 Options, Mr Paris? 47 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,791 A large plasma drift bearing 40, mark 7, extends half the length of this sector. 48 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,191 Interference should block us from their sensors. 49 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,751 Lay in a course at full impulse. Deflectors at maximum. 50 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,838 - What was that? - What's wrong? 51 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,916 A pain... in my abdomen. It's different. Sharp. Oh, God! 52 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,950 The baby has shifted position and lodged in the uterine wall. 53 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,829 This happens in human-Ktarian pregnancies. 54 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,153 - Can we reposition the baby? - No. I don't want to risk nerve damage. 55 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,837 If we don't deliver the baby now, it could cause internal bleeding. 56 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,470 Kes, prepare for a foetal transport. 57 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,316 - We're clearing the Vidiian system. - Take us out of the plasma drift. 58 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,713 I've locked onto the baby's coordinates. We're ready to begin. 59 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,396 Initiating umbilical separation. Energising. 60 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,914 Congratulations, Ensign. It's a girl. 61 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,114 Is she all right? 62 00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:15,159 There's a slight hemocythemic imbalance. 63 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,358 But we'll stabilise her cell membranes. 64 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,069 - What was that? - Some kind of subspace turbulence. 65 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,470 I can't tell if... 66 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,360 What the hell...? The warp engines just stalled. 67 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,993 - Go to impulse. - Impulse engines aren't responding. 68 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,118 We're losing main power. Switching to backup. 69 00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,476 Red Alert. Bridge to Engineering. Report. 70 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,191 Our antimatter supply is being drained. The containment fields are in place. 71 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,000 We sprung a leak but I can't find the crack. 72 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,916 Infuse the warp core with repeated proton bursts. That should keep it going. 73 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,438 I can generate enough protons for a burst every 30 seconds. 74 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,070 These proton bursts will cause stress on the hull. 75 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,232 Reinforce structural integrity to... 76 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,630 Now what? 77 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,478 - What was that? - A proton burst. 78 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,678 Already? Bridge to Torres. Report. 79 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,990 Engineering, respond. 80 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,712 Three EPS conduits just ruptured in engineering. Heavy casualties. 81 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,358 The incubator is losing power. Activate the auxiliary respirator. 82 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,430 We've got wounded here. 83 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,637 Second-degree plasma burns. Treat him with a dermaline gel. 84 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Fractured clavicle, thoracic contusions, 85 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,194 nothing serious. She can wait. 86 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,829 Fused vertebrae. Prep him for surgery. 87 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,594 The baby's membranes won't stabilise. 88 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,229 Increase the osmotic... 89 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,717 That's not helping. 90 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,394 Increase osmotic pressure by 10%. 91 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:54,393 There's been a coolant leak. 92 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,871 Wounded on the way. 93 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,869 Torres to bridge! We're definitely being... 94 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,429 We're being hit by proton bursts. 95 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,557 I don't know where they're coming from. 96 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,836 I never even started the procedure. 97 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,630 She's right. Not a single burst was fired. 98 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,680 Yet they are originating from the ship. 99 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,152 These bursts are weakening the hull. We cannot take any more. 100 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,277 Increase power to reinforcement. 101 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,192 Our antimatter supply is too low. 102 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,829 There's just not enough power to go... 103 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,834 Hull breach on deck 15. 104 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,957 Emergency force fields are off-line. 105 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,671 I could enhance our portable force field generators to seal that breach. 106 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,274 Go. 107 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,514 Don't you worry. We have the best doctor in the quadrant. 108 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:50,717 Her cell membranes are losing cohesion. 109 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,394 Remodulate the osmotic pressure. 110 00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,439 - No effect. - Hang on. I'll be right there. 111 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,559 Jefferies tube 12 runs over the breach. We can set up a containment field. 112 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,189 Its integrity is down to 22%. 113 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,274 So we need to reinforce the field. We'll use the power conduits on this deck. 114 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,034 I've analysed all the bursts. There's no indication of where they're coming from. 115 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,113 I don't care. I just want to stop them. 116 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,877 Do we have enough auxiliary power to magnetise the hull? 117 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,192 - We have just barely enough. - Give it a try. 118 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,239 I've stabilised my imaging array but it could go out. 119 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,357 Prepare for emergency resuscitation. 120 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,549 - Is my baby going to die? - Not if I can help it. 121 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,993 Here it is. The breach is directly below us. 122 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,960 Make it fast, Harry. 123 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,909 - Torres to Hogan. What's your status? - Almost got it. 124 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,391 I'm rerouting all power in this section to your... 125 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,470 Torres to Hogan. Hogan, are you there? 126 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,473 - I'm hurt. - We have to help him. 127 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,597 Just give me a minute. 128 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,751 - Again. - Nothing. 129 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,237 I'm sorry, Ensign. 130 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,598 Hogan to sickbay. I need medical assistance. 131 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,115 Deck 15, section 29. 132 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,237 I'll go. 133 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,032 The breach is widening. Let's get out of here. 134 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,551 - Damn it, Harry! Let's go! - Hold on. My minute isn't up y... 135 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,831 Harry, grab my hand! 136 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,837 HARRY! 137 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,434 - Lieutenant Hogan? - Kes, over here. 138 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,313 Torres to bridge. Ensign Kim is dead. Kes just disappeared. 139 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,996 - Disappeared? - I can't explain it. She just vanished. 140 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,714 There's a spatial rift right where she disappeared. 141 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,236 - Can you determine where it leads? - Stand by, bridge. 142 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,954 I threw a piece of conduit into the rift. 143 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,637 Just as it vanished, I detected another oxygen nitrogen atmosphere. 144 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,158 Whatever's on the other side of that rift, there's air. Maybe Kes is still alive. 145 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:31,394 Get out of there! I'm evacuating the entire deck. 146 00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,517 You don't have to tell me twice. 147 00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:37,196 Main computer core is failing. Switching to backup. 148 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,432 - Are you ready to magnetise the hull? - Stand by. 149 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,639 - I'm having trouble with alignment. - Remodulate the field emitters. 150 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,433 I've got alignment. Magnetising the hull. 151 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,594 - I think it worked. - I want a full damage report. 152 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,673 - Are you OK? - It's just a scratch. 153 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,275 - Maybe you should... - I'm fine. 154 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:18,470 Damage reports. The hull breach on deck 15 now includes deck 14. 155 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,395 There are 632 micro-fractures along the hull. 156 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,952 All primary systems are off-line. We are running on emergency power only. 157 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,954 The antimatter supply has dropped to 18% and is falling. 158 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,516 Warp coils in both nacelles are inoperative. 159 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,035 Environmental control is failing. 160 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,158 15 crew members have plasma burns, 161 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:47,794 27 experienced other injuries. The Doctor is setting up triage facilities. 162 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,557 I must also report that Ensign Wildman's baby did not survive. 163 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,952 I want those micro-fractures sealed before they become breaches. 164 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,397 - Mr Paris, go assist the Doctor. - Right. 165 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,030 Commander, you have the bridge. I'm going to go talk to Ensign Wildman... 166 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,470 The magnetic field is collapsing. The hull is depolarising! 167 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,196 The fire suppression system is out. 168 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,479 Hull breach on deck 1. Emergency force fields inoperative. 169 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,029 Everybody out! Go! 170 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,157 Hurry, Captain! 171 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,756 I'm trying to reroute emergency power to the field emitters! 172 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,389 I can seal this breach! 173 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,636 Captain, let's go! 174 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,034 Ensign Kim, scan the bridge. 175 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,200 I just saw myself cross the bridge and enter that turbolift. 176 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,718 It was very faint, almost like a ghost image. 177 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,235 And I looked like hell. 178 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,998 There was a minor spatial fluctuation on the bridge, but only for a millisecond. 179 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,279 Bridge to engineering. How long until we can use the main sensor array? 180 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,910 Three hours. We're only halfway through the procedure. 181 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,311 See if you can speed up the process. We need the sensors. 182 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,039 Understood. 183 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,869 Mr Kim, modify a tricorder to scan for spatial anomalies. 184 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,237 Go over every centimetre of this bridge. 185 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,439 Examine the sensor logs from our trip through the plasma drift. 186 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,558 - I'll be in sickbay. - Aye, Captain. 187 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,275 Good news, Ensign. Our baby is perfectly healthy. 188 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,954 There's no sign of any abnormalities. 189 00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:12,919 - Our baby? - A figure of speech. 190 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,277 I am responsible for bringing her into the world. 191 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:23,239 - You may hold her now. - Hello there. 192 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,150 Congratulations, Samantha. 193 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:33,112 She's adorable. Have you thought of a name? 194 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,716 Not yet. I really thought it would be a boy. 195 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,317 Let me know as soon as you decide. I've been making a blanket for her. 196 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,393 All that's missing is an initial. 197 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:49,111 Get some rest. 198 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,750 - How's our other patient doing? - She's still unconscious. 199 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,117 I ran a microcellular scan. We're almost identical. 200 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,478 - Almost? - There's a slight shift in their DNA. 201 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,031 - Do you know where she came from? - Not yet. 202 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,079 But I intend to find out. Can you wake her? 203 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,800 - I believe so. - Good. 204 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,193 I think she's going to have an interesting story to tell. 205 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:25,150 I was running through the corridor with my medkit. Deck 15. 206 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:33,073 And then suddenly... I felt dizzy, 207 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,356 and my vision started to blur. 208 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,954 After that, I don't remember anything, until you woke me up just now. 209 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:45,875 You were found unconscious on deck 15, holding a medkit. 210 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:51,558 We also found this lying next to you. It's a piece of damaged conduit. 211 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,553 Our analysis shows it's from Voyager, 212 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,600 deck 15, section 29-Alpha, bulkhead 052. 213 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:04,711 - But there's no damage to this ship. - There was massive damage. 214 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:10,558 The evidence seems to suggest that you've come from a different Voyager. 215 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,918 We did find a spatial rift on deck 15. 216 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,311 It's possible that it connects us to this other Voyager. 217 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,077 Where is the other ship? A parallel universe? Another dimension? 218 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,394 I'm not sure. The Voyager Kes described is almost identical to ours. 219 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,758 We've had similar experiences, similar personal histories. 220 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,709 We both entered a plasma cloud to avoid the Vidiians. 221 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,431 Both of our engines stalled, which caused our antimatter supplies to drain. 222 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,878 We both decided to keep our engines running by emitting proton bursts. 223 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,511 But after that, our experiences diverged. 224 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,590 We started emitting the proton bursts. They didn't. 225 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,152 Our ship was being damaged by proton bursts. We didn't know where from. 226 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,676 That's more than a coincidence. Janeway to engineering. 227 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,956 I want you to stop the proton bursts. 228 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:10,670 - But if we stop now, the power levels... - I'll explain later. 229 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,399 Understood. 230 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:18,158 I don't know how, but there's another Voyager out there, 231 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,516 and I intend to find it. 232 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,358 We analysed the sensor logs from the plasma cloud. 233 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,673 It was normal until we ran a quantum-level analysis. 234 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,992 Remember that subspace turbulence we hit? 235 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,117 Well, watch what happens. 236 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:44,557 We thought it was an aberration, but they were in perfect calibration. 237 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,997 So I analysed the subspace turbulence. 238 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,357 It was more than turbulence. It was a divergence field. 239 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,399 When we passed through it, sensor readings doubled - 240 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,598 mass, energy output, bio-signatures. 241 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,357 Every particle of matter on this ship was duplicated in that instant. 242 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,273 So where is the other ship? 243 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,751 According to these readings, another Voyager's right here, right now, 244 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,550 occupying the same point in space-time that we are. 245 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,396 Quantum theorists at Kent State University ran an experiment 246 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,919 in which a single particle was duplicated using different subspace fields. 247 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,996 Those same forces may have duplicated every particle of matter on Voyager. 248 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,790 - Matter. But not antimatter. - Captain? 249 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,351 In that experiment, they could duplicate normal matter, 250 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,832 but when they tried to duplicate antimatter, the experiment failed. 251 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,949 So the antimatter on the ships wasn't duplicated. 252 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:50,273 Both engines have been drawing power from a single source of antimatter. 253 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:56,391 - Like Siamese twins with one heart. - So what do we do? 254 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,474 I don't know. But we'll have to coordinate it with the other ship. 255 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,711 Find a way to communicate with them. 256 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,396 The only link we know of is on deck 15, the spatial rift. 257 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,439 We need a way to send Kes back through safely. 258 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,197 A portable phase discriminator might protect her from the spatial transition. 259 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:16,795 Get on it. 260 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,231 When can I start breast-feeding? 261 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,357 Right away. 262 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,195 However, her incisors will erupt within three to four weeks. 263 00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:29,751 Since your skin lacks the scales of a Ktarian, 264 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,911 we'll have to discuss alternatives. 265 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,198 - When can I take her home? - In 24 hours. 266 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:38,796 I want to make sure there's no more damage to her cell membranes. 267 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,669 - You're welcome to stay the night. - I'd like that. 268 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:58,560 Congratulations. It's a girl. My imaging array could go out. 269 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,677 Her membranes are losing cohesion. 270 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,797 Remodulate the osmotic pressure. 271 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,156 - No effect. - Again. 272 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,436 Is my baby going to die? 273 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,151 - I'm sorry, Ensign. - She's going to die, isn't she? 274 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:23,433 - Are you all right? - Yes. It's just... 275 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,797 The baby's crying, it was like a bad memory. 276 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,236 What do you mean? 277 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,359 On my Voyager, during the delivery, there were complications. 278 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,476 - We performed a foetal transport. - Yes. The transport was successful. 279 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,389 On my ship, the medical systems were heavily damaged. 280 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,712 The osmotic pressure therapy didn't work. The baby died. 281 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:54,112 I'm sorry to hear that. But it wasn't your fault. It was out of your control. 282 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,191 I've got to get back. They need me. 283 00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:04,550 The captain's working on it, Kes. In the meantime, try to get some rest. 284 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,513 Besides, I'm sure your Voyager 285 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,072 is also equipped with a proficient Emergency Medical Hologram. 286 00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:22,398 It's harder to establish a com-link than I thought. 287 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,916 Their molecular signature is out of phase with ours. 288 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,029 - I can't get visual, audio, nothing. - You've remodulated the com carrier? 289 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,636 - Five times on 47 frequencies. - There has to be a way. 290 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,634 If they were recalibrating their carrier wave at the same time, 291 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,757 would that allow us to connect? 292 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,357 I think so, but we'd have to communicate with them first. 293 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,399 It's the chicken and the egg. 294 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,200 Maybe we need something primitive. 295 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,399 Is there a signal we could emit just to get their attention? 296 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,555 A rotating band pulse might do it, but it wouldn't be more than a shrill whistle. 297 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,631 That might be enough. Give it a try. 298 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,317 All of the ship's command functions have been rerouted to main engineering. 299 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,393 Welcome to the new bridge. Now, let's see about... 300 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,037 - What's that? - I don't know. 301 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,955 - It's some kind of com emissions. - Coming from where? 302 00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:21,875 I can't tell. But it's got a Federation signature. 303 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,556 Recalibrate our frequency carrier to match it. 304 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,315 That's it! They locked onto our phase variant. 305 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,120 - What com can we establish? - Not much. 306 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,989 We can use the emergency encryption code for a short message. 307 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,117 That should be enough. 308 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,757 That's the emergency code. Run it through an alphanumeric sequencer. 309 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,790 I think someone's telling us to lock onto a frequency of 12 gigahertz. 310 00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,317 Do it. 311 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,277 I'll try to clear it up. 312 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,313 Captain, this isn't an illusion. 313 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,111 What you're seeing is real, but it's going to take some explaining. 314 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,353 - There are two Voyagers? - That's what I was told. 315 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,479 Could this possibly be some kind of subterfuge? An alien deception? 316 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,520 She had very specific knowledge of what happened - 317 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,230 the damage, Wildman's baby, Kes disappearing. 318 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,156 And that when I was twelve I walked home in a storm because I lost at tennis. 319 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,235 And her explanation of how the ships duplicated - certainly plausible. 320 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,313 If it is true, what do we do about it? 321 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,314 My counterpart has suggested we try to merge the two ships, 322 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,757 recreate the subspace divergence field and then depolarise it. 323 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,518 Both ships would have to send out a resonance pulse at the same time. 324 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,071 We barely have enough power for life support. 325 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,676 How can we get enough to send an energy pulse of that size? 326 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,390 We could evacuate all the crew to this deck, 327 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,870 then divert all power to the deflector dish. 328 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,237 Re-establish the com-link with the other ship. 329 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,433 This is Janeway. What have you decided? 330 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,840 We think we can channel enough energy to try the merging process. 331 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,957 Good. When can we start? 332 00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:35,192 - We'll need 15 minutes. - We'll be ready. 333 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:40,309 And Captain, we'll only have enough power to try this once. 334 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,279 I understand. 335 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,151 Chakotay, Tuvok, begin the evacuation process. 336 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,960 I'll tell the Doctor to use backup power. 337 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,916 We're ready, Captain. 338 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,198 We're standing by. I think you should take the lead 339 00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:14,194 since you may have to allow for your weakened power. 340 00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:18,115 Acknowledged. Lieutenant Torres and Lieutenant Torres, 341 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,954 charge the deflector dishes. 342 00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:25,273 Deflector dish charging. Capacitance levels are rising. 343 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,718 60%... 85%... 98%. 344 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,156 We're ready to create the divergence field. 345 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,755 Initiating. 346 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,517 - Power flow nominal. - Synchronise computer event timing. 347 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,110 Ready to release depolarisation pulse. On my mark. 348 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,997 Now. 349 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,435 The pulses have been emitted. The fields are depolarising. 350 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,719 But we aren't merging. In fact, we're going further out of phase! 351 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:09,558 - Increase power to the deflector dish. - I can't! Too much plasma back flow. 352 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,838 We're going to lose our connection. We'll both be destroyed! 353 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,640 - Abort! - Aborting resonance pulse. 354 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,997 - What went wrong? - The plasma flow became too turbulent. 355 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,959 We couldn't complete the merging. 356 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,630 We've lost the com-link as well. 357 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,151 Captain, the antimatter leak is becoming a haemorrhage. 358 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,950 If we don't start the proton bursts, we'll be drained in 30 minutes. 359 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,671 The lives of both crews are at stake here. I can't make unilateral decisions. 360 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,231 Janeway to Kim. Is the spatial rift still stable? 361 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,553 Yes. I've rigged a phase discriminator. Kes should be able to return. 362 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,236 Rig another one, Ensign. I'm going with her. 363 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,515 This should protect you from the transition. 364 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,115 Keep trying to re-establish a com-link. 365 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,990 I will but we have hardly any antimatter left. Whatever you do, do it fast. 366 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,959 - Understood. Are you ready? - Yes. 367 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,354 - It's gotten worse here. - Let's go to command control. 368 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,635 I don't know how to stop the drain without proton bursts. 369 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,192 We can't do that. We'd damage the other ship. 370 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,194 - Think people. We need options. - I agree, Captain. 371 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,119 And I think we need to talk. 372 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,349 Our antimatter supply will run out in less than half an hour. 373 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,353 The attempted merger is throwing us further out. 374 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:59,472 - Quantum cohesion is breaking down. - Just like the Kent State experiment. 375 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,349 The atoms couldn't occupy the same point for long before... 376 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,034 Mutual annihilation. 377 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,875 - What are our options? - Let's try a different tack. 378 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,954 Instead of merging the ships, let's try to separate them. 379 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,351 We could divide the antimatter between us. 380 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,875 No. We've studied that theory. 381 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,591 Any attempt to disrupt the antimatter supply will destroy us all. 382 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,958 What about evacuating your crew to my ship? We could manage. 383 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,397 We've been studying that theory. 384 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,473 Sending any more than ten people through the rift 385 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:40,237 would radically alter the atomic balance of the ships and destroy us both. 386 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,032 You should return to your ship and run a metallurgical analysis. 387 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:54,036 Find out the precise phase modulation of your hull. I'll do the same here. 388 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,750 Maybe we can realign the phase displacement. 389 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,959 - You're going to self-destruct your ship. - What makes you say that? 390 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,158 That's what I would do if your Voyager were intact, 391 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,915 and my Voyager were crippled, my crew wounded or dead. 392 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,913 I'd sacrifice my ship so yours could survive. 393 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,039 Then I'm glad we agree. Go back to your ship. 394 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,079 I didn't say I agree, I said I understand. 395 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,949 I won't let you do that yet. We haven't explored all the options. 396 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,077 Yes, we have and we both know it. 397 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,949 - This is my decision. - I won't let you... 398 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,353 Please don't make me have you escorted off my ship because... 399 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,433 you know I'll do it. 400 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,078 All right. But give me 15 minutes to come up with another solution. 401 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,039 After that, it's your decision. 402 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,269 15 minutes. Good luck. 403 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,556 To both of us. 404 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,155 - I've re-established a com-link. - Hail them. 405 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,316 Captain, I've got an idea. Actually, it was yours. 406 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,279 We could realign the phase displacement. 407 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,514 My plan is the only one that's going to work. It's time that we both accept that. 408 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:21,390 We've got a perimeter alert. A vessel is approaching bearing 005, mark 318. 409 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,513 - They've dropped out of warp. - Can you identify them? 410 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,433 They're Vidiian, sir. 411 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,954 Red Alert. 412 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,760 - Shields. - Still off-line. 413 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,878 A Vidiian ship is heading this way. Can you see them, too? 414 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,997 - Yes. - Do you have any weapons? 415 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,356 - Stand by. Tuvok? - Negative. 416 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:44,640 We had to reroute power. It would take hours to bring weapons back on-line. 417 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,637 What is it? 418 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,111 Their ship seems to be trapped in a spatial flux. 419 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,069 - Have they detected us? - Yes. But they can't raise their shields. 420 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,757 Whatever is happening to them has disrupted their weapon systems. 421 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,389 Load a hyperthermic charge. 422 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,831 Fire. 423 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,197 - They have fired an energy weapon. - Brace for impact. 424 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,034 Damage control teams, stand by. 425 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,474 What happened? They couldn't have missed. 426 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,439 - Maybe they hit the other Voyager. - Hail them. 427 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,319 - I've lost the com-link. - Try to get it back. 428 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,915 We have destroyed their weapons. 429 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,549 Manoeuvre us to within grappling range. 430 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,791 They are cutting an access route through the hull on deck 5. 431 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,796 The phaser damaged the right kidney but the other organs are healthy. 432 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,315 Begin with them. 433 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,514 I've erected an emergency force field around sickbay. 434 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,593 - I won't let them take my baby. - It'll be all right. 435 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:02,233 Give her to me and I'll hide her. If they do break in, they won't find her. 436 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,397 Trust me. I won't let anyone touch our baby. 437 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,554 - Mama will see you soon. - Give me a hand. Move this. 438 00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:14,236 We'll have to cut away the internal circuitry to... 439 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,917 Vidiians. They're using a disruptor to break down the force field. 440 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,350 The force field's down. 441 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:32,392 They've got everything below deck 5 and we can't keep them from the bridge. 442 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,519 - How many Vidiians are on the ship? - 347 and more are boarding. 443 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,071 - We're outnumbered. - I've got an incoming subspace signal. 444 00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:43,676 - It's from the other Voyager. - On screen. 445 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,910 Captain, what's happening over there? 446 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,517 We've been boarded. The Vidiians are on the verge of taking over our ship. 447 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,275 - Are they on yours? - No. They can't detect our ship. 448 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,796 We can have a security detachment cross the spatial rift 449 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,395 and board your ship within five minutes. 450 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:09,992 No. If we do that, the Vidiians might become aware of your Voyager. 451 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,791 - That would put both ships at risk. - We can't just let you all be killed. 452 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:20,080 I'm not about to let that happen. I'll destroy this ship. 453 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,670 There's no way I can change your mind? I know how stubborn you can be. 454 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,799 True. But there is something else I can do for you. 455 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,837 I'm sending Harry Kim over with Ensign Wildman's baby. 456 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,437 - Somehow, it seems only fair. - We'll be waiting for them. 457 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,992 Just make me a promise, Kathryn. Get your crew home. 458 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,360 I will. I will. 459 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,794 You've got five minutes. Get the baby. 460 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,476 - But Captain... - Move it, Ensign! That's an order! 461 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,836 Computer, initiate the self-destruct sequence. 462 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,391 Authorisation Janeway Pi-110. 463 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,951 Set at five minutes and mute voice warnings. 464 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,237 Enable. 465 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,155 Self-destruct sequence has been initiated. 466 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,915 Warp core overload in four minutes, 55 seconds. 467 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,072 There will be no further audio warnings. 468 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,798 Ocampa. Female. The organs are healthy. 469 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,429 She has a high rate of regeneration. 470 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,309 Extract her pelvic ridge. We'll analyse the bone marrow for phage resistance. 471 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,277 The others are human. 472 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,910 Their pancreatic tissues are well suited for transplant. 473 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,152 Begin the extraction procedure. 474 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,670 This one. A female human. She's recently given birth. 475 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,390 - Are you certain? - Her haemo-uterine levels are high. 476 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,517 Where's the infant? 477 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,275 Set your bio-probe to maximum. Find it. 478 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,677 NO! 479 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,877 Ensign Kim, is that you? 480 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,629 - Doc, am I glad to see you. - Have we retaken the ship? 481 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,918 No. The Captain's put the ship on self-destruct. 482 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,356 I must take the baby to the other Voyager. 483 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,477 You'd better hurry. 484 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,319 - Goodbye, Doc. - Ensign. 485 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,519 Tell my counterpart that I've corrected all signs of hemocythemia. 486 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,637 Will do. 487 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,994 I'm Captain Kathryn Janeway. Welcome to the bridge. 488 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,310 Commander! 489 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,759 - It's about time. - Tuvok to Janeway. 490 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,231 Ensign Kim has made it through, with the infant. 491 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,152 Acknowledged. 492 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,154 Captain, the Vidiian ship has been destroyed. 493 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,029 So has the other Voyager. 494 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,594 Captain's log, stardate 49548.7. 495 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,832 There are no signs of any pursuing Vidiian vessels 496 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,391 and we have resumed a course toward home. 497 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:11,433 Repair efforts are underway. We'll be able to return to the bridge in three days. 498 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,754 Good. B'Elanna won't tolerate my standing over her in engineering. 499 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:23,959 - Is there something on your mind? - I am curious, Captain. 500 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,158 When you were in disagreement with the other captain about... 501 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,676 Would I have self-destructed our ship? 502 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,674 I've gone over that moment a thousand times. 503 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,878 The truth is, yes, I would have given the order. 504 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:43,558 But I will admit, there was a part of me that could see her point of view. 505 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:49,279 One could say that you were both the doubter and the doubted. 506 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,956 I do not envy the paradox of logic you were faced with. 507 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,079 Neither did I. And neither did she. 508 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,956 Thank you. Thank you so much. 509 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,397 You're welcome. But you should also thank the Doctor. 510 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,632 It was his counterpart who saved her. 511 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,112 I'm not surprised. I am programmed to be heroic when the need arises. 512 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,672 By the way, Ensign, this other Doctor, did he have a name? 513 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,471 - I really didn't have time to ask. - May I go back to my temporary bridge? 514 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,631 By all means. 515 00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:46,710 - It's good to have you back, Ensign. - Thank you, I think. 516 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,394 - Something wrong? - I'm not sure. 517 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,713 I mean, this isn't really my ship, and you're not really my captain 518 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,394 and yet you are and there's no difference. 519 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,269 But I know there's a difference. Or is there? 520 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:05,230 - It's all a little weird. - Mr Kim, we're Starfleet officers. 521 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,789 Weird is part of the job.
