We have analyzed the imaging logs.

That is our theory.

We believe unauthorized access
was made six days ago.

The imaging logs from that day
show a ship approaching the array.

00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:20,330
That is a Cardassian ship,
Galor-class.

138
00:10:20,540 --> 00:10:22,700
We're only three light years
from Cardassian space.

139
00:10:22,910 --> 00:10:24,500
They would have easy access
to the array.

140
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:26,960
Mr. Worf, start a long-range scan
of the region.

141

Aye, sir.

154
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:24,680
from the concussion.

155
00:11:24,890 --> 00:11:27,060
I can give you some vertazine
for the dizziness,

156
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:29,100
but I'd like you to rest.

157
00:11:29,310 --> 00:11:32,150
Doctor, perhaps you are thinking
of another patient.

00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,530
I have no concussion.

159

Worf, you came in here this morning

160
00:11:38,990 --> 00:11:41,570
I scanned you.
You had a concussion.

161

- You don't remember any of this.
- No.

162
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,750
Temporary memory loss is common
for this kind of injury.

163
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,800
Do you remember telling me
about the bat'Ieth tournament?

164
00:11:55,010 --> 00:11:57,760
You said that one of the competitors
hit you over the head.

165
00:11:57,970 --> 00:12:00,340
That's why you lost the match.

166
00:12:00,890 --> 00:12:05,470
I won that tournament.
And I can prove it to you.

167
00:12:18,740 --> 00:12:20,360
What's wrong?

168
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,450
It says ninth place.

169
00:12:28,830 --> 00:12:31,710
This is not the same trophy.

170
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,790
Someone is playing a trick on me.

171
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,510
Worf, try to stay calm.
Memory loss can be very disorienting.

The log.

173
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:44,470
I recorded a personal log

The conditions were difficult.
Several contenders were maimed.

180
00:13:07,330 --> 00:13:12,250
One of the contenders used
an illegal T'Gha maneuver on me.

181
00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:14,460
The judges chose to ignore it,

182
00:13:14,670 --> 00:13:17,210
and l was robbed
of my rightful standing.

183

this is very disturbing for you.

But don't worry,
your memories will return.

Now, the best thing
you could do right now

You are in Federation territory.
Please explain your presence.

We were wondering the same thing
about you, captain.

205
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:47,010
Why would Starfleet's flagship

want to venture so close
to the Cardassian border?

We are repairing
one of our subspace telescopes.

No, thank you.
Everything is under control.

If you don't mind my asking,

212
00:15:05,490 --> 00:15:09,870
what exactly is this telescope of yours
designed to do?

213
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,910
PICARD:
It is a long-range subspace array.

214
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,410
We use it for gathering data
on astronomical phenomena.

215
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:21,920
I am certain it would never be used
to observe a neighboring species.

216
00:15:22,130 --> 00:15:23,300
Certainly not.

217
00:15:23,510 --> 00:15:27,800
Well, then,
best of luck with your repairs.

218
00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:29,390
Just try to make certain

219
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:35,180
that your studies are limited
to astronomical phenomena.

220

00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:43,110
Captain, that ship was responsible
for reprogramming the array.

What are you saying?

It is the same class
and energy configuration

224

in the imaging logs.

that you have evidence

that the Cardassians have tampered
with the array?

228
00:15:58,170 --> 00:16:00,120
They are using the array
as a surveillance device.

229
00:16:00,330 --> 00:16:02,090
You saw the logs yourself.

- Neither have l.

- Yes.

234
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,900
Mr. Data, perhaps
you had better reexamine the array.

00:22:30,430 --> 00:22:31,970
[TROl SlGHS

317
00:22:34,190 --> 00:22:35,690
There.

318
00:22:41,940 --> 00:22:43,530
[SIGHS

319
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,870
You are so tense.

320
00:22:50,830 --> 00:22:54,160
Now, l know you don't want to talk
about what happened on the Bridge,

321
00:22:54,370 --> 00:22:58,960
but there are times
when it's just best to let things out.

322
00:23:01,210 --> 00:23:03,010
Come on.

323
00:23:03,220 --> 00:23:06,880
If you can't talk to me,
who can you talk to, hmm?

324
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:08,890
Aah!

325
00:23:09,510 --> 00:23:12,060
I do not believe
this is appropriate behavior.

326
00:23:12,270 --> 00:23:15,730
- Even for your wife?
- Wife?

327
00:23:22,030 --> 00:23:24,280
Worf, what's wrong?

328
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,820
I do not know. Things are changing.

329
00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:33,080
What's changed?

330
00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:38,870
I do not remember us,
you and l, being mates.

331
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,710
It is as if events

332
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,340
and circumstances continue to change
from moment to moment,

333
00:23:44,550 --> 00:23:47,970
but I am the only one
who seems to be aware of it.

334
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,970
Are you saying you don't remember
the last three years?

335
00:23:54,770 --> 00:23:58,270
You don't remember us falling in love
and getting married?

336
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:04,020
I do remember the last three years,
but they were different.

337
00:24:04,230 --> 00:24:07,780
We did not have this relationship.

338
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:09,950
We were friends.

339
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:12,450
And the Enterprise
did not have a battle

340
00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:15,040
with the Cardassians.

341
00:24:17,910 --> 00:24:20,120
And no one believes me.

342
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,050
Whatever's wrong,
whatever happened,

343
00:24:28,260 --> 00:24:31,390
I want you to know that I believe you,

344
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,640
and that l love you.

345
00:24:34,260 --> 00:24:37,430
And together,
we'll find out what's happening.

346
00:24:39,810 --> 00:24:41,650
I am initiating a subspace scan

347
00:24:41,860 --> 00:24:44,730
to search for temporal anomalies
both on and off the ship.

348
00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:47,860
OGAWA: Counselor Troi,
please report to Sickbay.

349
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:49,860
I'm on my way.

350
00:24:50,070 --> 00:24:52,490
Let me know if you find anything.

351
00:24:57,910 --> 00:24:59,540
WORF:
Commander,

352
00:25:00,870 --> 00:25:03,500
how long have I been married
to Counselor Troi?

353
00:25:04,540 --> 00:25:06,500
Two years, one month, 12 days.

354
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,170
And when
did this relationship begin?

355
00:25:10,380 --> 00:25:12,640
It is my understanding
your romantic affiliation began

356
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,890
shortly after you recovered
from your spinal injury

357
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:17,390
on stardate 45587.

358
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,640
It was six months later

359
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:21,020
that you asked Commander Riker
for his formal permission

360
00:25:21,230 --> 00:25:22,690
to court Counselor Troi.

361
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:26,020
You felt to do otherwise
would be dishonorable.

362
00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:27,730
And then we mated.

363
00:25:27,940 --> 00:25:30,400
I am not privy to the exact details

364
00:25:30,610 --> 00:25:33,610
of when, where or how
your first coupling took place.

365
00:25:33,820 --> 00:25:37,540
- I could investigate it.
- No, no, that is all right.

366
00:25:39,580 --> 00:25:42,960
I am detecting no temporal anomalies
in this system.

367
00:25:43,790 --> 00:25:47,170
Perhaps we should attempt
to pinpoint the exact moment

368
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:49,710
when events became discontinuous.

369
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,300
- Do you remember the first change?
- I was in Sickbay.

370
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:55,260
Dr. Crusher told me
I had a concussion,

371
00:25:55,470 --> 00:25:57,430
but I do not remember
that happening.

372
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,970
Think back.

373
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:01,390
Are you certain
that was the very first change?

374
00:26:02,980 --> 00:26:04,690
Before.

375
00:26:06,730 --> 00:26:09,900
Yes. Yes, I was in Engineering.

376
00:26:10,110 --> 00:26:12,610
I felt a wave of dizziness,
and when I looked up,

377
00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:16,620
you and Commander La Forge
were on the opposite side of the room.

378
00:26:16,830 --> 00:26:18,450
And Captain Picard was gone.

379
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:20,200
I thought I had blacked out
for a moment

380
00:26:20,410 --> 00:26:23,290
and had not observed
your movements.

381
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,630
And at my birthday party,

382
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,210
the cake was chocolate
and then it was yellow.

383
00:26:30,420 --> 00:26:31,590
And Commander Riker told me

384
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,840
Captain Picard
was not going to attend,

385
00:26:34,050 --> 00:26:35,630
and then suddenly, he was there.

386
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:37,720
Hmm.

387
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,760
We should try to find
the commonalities in these events.

388
00:26:40,970 --> 00:26:43,480
Who were the people
you were with?

389
00:26:43,690 --> 00:26:46,480
Everyone was at my birthday party.

390
00:26:46,690 --> 00:26:51,820
Then I was with Counselor Troi.
Then Commander La Forge came in.

391
00:26:52,940 --> 00:26:53,990
Geordi.

392
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,450
Geordi was present
at all three locations.

393
00:26:57,660 --> 00:27:01,870
And he was near me in each case
just before I noticed the differences.

394
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:06,000
- There has to be a connection.
- It is possible.

395
00:27:06,210 --> 00:27:09,170
We should speak
to Commander La Forge.

396
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,050
Doctor.

397
00:27:12,260 --> 00:27:15,130
Is Geordi well enough
to answer a few questions?

398
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,300
Geordi's dead.

399
00:27:30,150 --> 00:27:33,230
There do not appear
to be any unusual readings.

400
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,490
Energy residuals
from the plasma burns.

401
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:39,740
Beginnings
of cellular decomposition.

402
00:27:40,450 --> 00:27:43,080
I see nothing
that connects these bioreadings

403
00:27:43,290 --> 00:27:46,580
to your recent sense of discontinuity.

404
00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:48,080
What about his VISOR?

405
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,220
I still see nothing unusual.
Perhaps we should activate it.

406
00:27:59,430 --> 00:28:02,260
Hook it up to the diagnostic array
and I'll check it out.

407
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:14,570
The VISOR is active.

408
00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:17,570
Worf, are you all right?

409
00:28:19,530 --> 00:28:22,320
Have you noticed
another discontinuity?

410
00:28:24,790 --> 00:28:26,660
Dr. Crusher was not here.

411
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,670
- Dr. Ogawa was.
- Dr. Ogawa?

412
00:28:32,380 --> 00:28:34,550
And my uniform has changed.

413
00:28:34,750 --> 00:28:39,550
- What is my rank and position?
- You're a commander and first officer.

414
00:28:40,590 --> 00:28:44,390
- Are we still married?
- Yes.

415
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:48,640
I am detecting a quantum flux
in your cellular RNA.

416
00:28:49,230 --> 00:28:50,310
What does that mean?

417
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,020
I do not know.
I will have to analyze these readings.

418
00:29:00,820 --> 00:29:04,450
I have found that the quantum flux
in Worf's cellular RNA

419
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:06,790
extends to the subatomic level.

420
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,750
It is asynchronous
with normal matter.

421
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,460
In essence, captain,

422
00:29:11,670 --> 00:29:13,880
Mr. Worf does not belong
in our universe.

423
00:29:14,090 --> 00:29:15,130
What?

424
00:29:15,340 --> 00:29:18,260
All matter in the universe
resonates on a quantum level

425
00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:20,010
with a unique signature.

426
00:29:20,220 --> 00:29:21,800
That signature is constant.

427
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:24,800
It cannot be changed
through any known process.

428
00:29:25,010 --> 00:29:27,390
It is the basic foundation
of existence.

429
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,730
Are you saying
that Worf's quantum signature

430
00:29:29,930 --> 00:29:31,520
is different from ours?

431
00:29:31,730 --> 00:29:34,060
Yes, sir. I cannot explain it.

432
00:29:34,270 --> 00:29:38,030
It is as if he originates
from a different quantum universe.

433
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:41,780
Mr. Worf, you say the discontinuities
started to occur after you returned

434
00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:44,160
from a bat'leth tournament
on Forcas IlI.

435
00:29:44,370 --> 00:29:45,410
Yes, sir.

436
00:29:45,620 --> 00:29:47,830
I know for a fact that
you never attended that tournament

437
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,410
and that no shuttlecraft
has left the Enterprise for a month.

438
00:29:50,620 --> 00:29:52,040
I understand that,

439
00:29:52,250 --> 00:29:54,540
but I also clearly remember
attending the tournament

440
00:29:54,750 --> 00:29:56,790
and returning to the ship
in a shuttlecraft.

441
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,800
Do you remember the route
you took to return?

442
00:29:59,010 --> 00:30:00,050
Yes.

443
00:30:00,260 --> 00:30:01,380
Let's backtrack that course,

444
00:30:01,590 --> 00:30:03,430
see if there are unusual readings
or anomalies.

445
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:04,970
DATA:
Aye, sir.

446
00:30:10,140 --> 00:30:11,600
If I may inquire, sir,

447
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:14,190
how long have you been captain
of the Enterprise?

448
00:30:14,690 --> 00:30:16,480
Four years.

449
00:30:16,980 --> 00:30:20,650
Ever since Captain Picard was killed
in the incident with the Borg.

450
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,160
You don't remember any of this,
do you?

451
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,120
I do remember.
I just remember it differently.

452
00:30:41,090 --> 00:30:43,340
Captain, l'm picking up
a minor subspace disturbance

453
00:30:43,550 --> 00:30:44,590
off the port bow.

454
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:45,840
- Full stop.
MAN: Aye, sir.

455
00:30:46,050 --> 00:30:47,220
Analysis, Mr. Data.

456
00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:51,010
It appears to be a quantum fissure
in the space-time continuum.

457
00:30:51,770 --> 00:30:53,600
On-screen.

458
00:30:54,060 --> 00:30:56,020
The anomaly cannot be seen,

459
00:30:56,230 --> 00:31:00,190
but I believe I can enhance it
with a warp field to make it visible.

460
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,820
RlKER: Is it dangerous?
DATA: Not from this distance, sir.

461
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:08,950
I am also detecting an ion trail
intersecting the phenomenon.

462
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,370
I believe it was left
by a Starfleet type-6 shuttlecraft.

463
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:15,120
So I was here.

464
00:31:17,130 --> 00:31:19,170
I have an explanation, sir.

465
00:31:19,790 --> 00:31:22,250
I believe the quantum fissure
we discovered

466
00:31:22,460 --> 00:31:25,920
is a fixed point
across the space-time continuum,

467
00:31:26,130 --> 00:31:29,640
a keyhole which intersects
many other quantum realities.

468
00:31:29,850 --> 00:31:31,720
What do you mean,
"quantum realities"?

469
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:32,970
For any event,

470
00:31:33,180 --> 00:31:35,430
there is an infinite number
of possible outcomes.

471
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,350
Our choices determine
which outcomes will follow.

472
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,230
But there is a theory
in quantum physics

473
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,940
that all possibilities that can happen
do happen

474
00:31:45,150 --> 00:31:47,280
in alternate quantum realities.

475
00:31:47,490 --> 00:31:51,780
And somehow I have been shifting
from one reality to another.

476
00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:54,700
- That is correct.
- How did this happen?

477
00:31:57,210 --> 00:31:59,120
When Worf's shuttlecraft
came into contact

478
00:31:59,330 --> 00:32:00,790
with the quantum fissure,

479
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,170
I believe its warp engines
caused a small break

480
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:05,920
in the barriers
between quantum realities.

481
00:32:06,130 --> 00:32:08,800
Worf was thrown into a state
of quantum flux.

482
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:11,970
He immediately shifted
into other realities.

483
00:32:12,180 --> 00:32:15,140
And Geordi's VISOR
somehow triggered that effect.

484
00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:19,140
Exactly.
The VISOR uses a subspace field pulse.

485
00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:21,650
I believe that whenever Geordi
came near Worf,

486
00:32:21,860 --> 00:32:24,610
the field pulse
intensified the quantum flux

487
00:32:24,820 --> 00:32:27,320
and pushed Worf
into another reality.

488
00:32:27,530 --> 00:32:29,660
Well, how can we find
my original quantum state

489
00:32:29,860 --> 00:32:30,910
and return me to it?

490
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,740
We could scan the quantum fissure
using a subspace differential pulse.

491
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,620
Maybe we could find
the quantum state

492
00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:41,170
that shares Worf's signature
and find a way to get him back.

493
00:32:41,380 --> 00:32:43,630
An excellent idea, lieutenant.

494
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,310
Worf,

495
00:33:03,690 --> 00:33:06,070
from what l understand,

496
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,280
there's a good chance
my Worf won't return.

497
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:14,740
I guess it's just hard for me
to accept

498
00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:20,370
that there's a reality out there
where you never loved me.

499
00:33:23,130 --> 00:33:28,510
Deanna, I have always considered you
a close friend.

500
00:33:30,010 --> 00:33:35,390
And although I have never seriously
considered a romantic relationship,

501
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,470
I would not be opposed
to the possibility.

502
00:33:40,390 --> 00:33:42,060
What about our children?

503
00:33:44,150 --> 00:33:46,650
- Children?
- You didn't know?

504
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:51,900
When the last shift occurred
in Sickbay,

505
00:33:52,110 --> 00:33:53,990
we did not have any children.

506
00:33:59,790 --> 00:34:03,580
We have a little girl, Shannara.
She's 2 years old.

507
00:34:03,790 --> 00:34:08,170
And a 3-year-old boy,
Eric-Christopher.

508
00:34:13,090 --> 00:34:17,140
- What about Alexander?
- Alexander?

509
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,940
He was my son in another reality.

510
00:34:41,790 --> 00:34:42,950
I've used a differential pulse

511
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,870
to analyze
over 1 0 million quantum states

512
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,120
within the fissure,

513
00:34:46,330 --> 00:34:48,630
but I still haven't found one
with your signature.

514
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,210
This may take some time, sir.

515
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,760
Captain,
a Bajoran ship is approaching.

516
00:34:53,970 --> 00:34:55,090
RlKER:
Red alert.

517
00:34:56,050 --> 00:34:57,090
WORF:
The Bajorans?

518
00:34:57,300 --> 00:34:59,550
Ever since the Bajorans
overpowered the Cardassian Empire,

519
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,310
they've become
more and more aggressive.

520
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,850
Yesterday they destroyed
one of our subspace telescopes

521
00:35:04,060 --> 00:35:06,810
because they thought we were using it
to spy against them.

522
00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:10,360
- They're charging their weapons, sir.
- Shields.

523
00:35:10,980 --> 00:35:12,280
Return fire.

524
00:35:13,150 --> 00:35:14,650
They've damaged
our power system, sir.

525
00:35:14,860 --> 00:35:17,160
It's caused an energy surge
within the subspace pulse.

526
00:35:17,370 --> 00:35:19,740
The quantum fissure
is beginning to destabilize.

527
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,950
Can we disengage the pulse?

528
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:26,370
Too late, sir.

529
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,300
What the hell is happening?

530
00:35:33,510 --> 00:35:36,130
The barriers between quantum realities
are breaking down.

531
00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:39,680
Other realities are emerging
into our own.

532
00:35:55,570 --> 00:35:57,450
The Bajoran ship is disengaging, sir.

533
00:35:57,660 --> 00:36:01,120
The rate of quantum incursions
is increasing exponentially.

534
00:36:01,330 --> 00:36:03,950
At this rate, the sector will be
completely filled with Enterprises

535
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,370
within three days.

536
00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:09,830
Captain,
we're receiving 285,000 hails.

537
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,340
I wish I knew what to tell them.

538
00:36:12,550 --> 00:36:15,880
Mr. Data,
can we stop these incursions?

539
00:36:16,090 --> 00:36:18,300
Perhaps, if we can find the ship

540
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:21,050
that matches Commander Worf's
quantum signature.

541
00:36:21,260 --> 00:36:22,600
How would that help?

542
00:36:22,810 --> 00:36:25,890
It was Worf's shuttlecraft
which traversed the fissure

543
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,690
and weakened the barriers
between quantum realities.

544
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:31,520
If he reenters the fissure
in his original shuttle

545
00:36:31,730 --> 00:36:35,650
and emits a broad-spectrum warp field,
it may be enough to seal the fissure

546
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:38,150
and stop additional realities
from entering our own.

547
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,610
What then?

548
00:36:39,820 --> 00:36:41,820
How do we get the Enterprises
that are already here

549
00:36:42,030 --> 00:36:43,070
back to where they belong?

550
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,120
In theory,
the act of sealing the fissure

551
00:36:46,330 --> 00:36:48,790
should restore the barriers
between quantum states.

552
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
The ships would return
to their own realities.

553
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:58,420
Lieutenant Crusher,
send a general hail, all ships.

554
00:36:58,630 --> 00:37:00,260
ENSlGN:
Aye, sir.

555
00:37:02,140 --> 00:37:05,350
This is Captain Riker
of the Enterprise.

556
00:37:05,810 --> 00:37:09,940
That is, the Enterprise
that is indigenous to this universe.

557
00:37:10,140 --> 00:37:12,440
We have all encountered
a quantum anomaly.

558
00:37:12,650 --> 00:37:16,230
We think we have found a way
to return us all to our proper realities,

559
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,030
but we need to find that ship

560
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:21,070
which exhibits
a certain quantum signature.

561
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,910
Our Mr. Data will transmit
that signature to you now.

562
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,040
- Anything?
- There's too much com traffic, sir.

563
00:37:35,250 --> 00:37:38,380
It's tough to isolate
who's talking to who.

564
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:42,630
Wait a minute. Here it is.
Someone's responding.

565
00:37:43,430 --> 00:37:44,930
On-screen.

566
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,640
Captain, it would appear that we have
found the quantum signature

567
00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:49,890
you were looking for.

568
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:54,150
Data believes that by sending Worf
back through the fissure again,

569
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,560
it would return us all
to our proper realities.

570
00:37:56,770 --> 00:37:58,650
Our Data has said the same thing.

571
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:01,900
We need you
to send us your shuttlecraft Curie.

572
00:38:02,450 --> 00:38:04,820
- We're launching it now.
- Thank you.

573
00:38:05,870 --> 00:38:09,620
It's good to see you again, captain.
It's been a long time.

574
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,630
RlKER: Did they send the right shuttle?
DATA: Yes, sir.

575
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,470
It matches Commander Worf's
quantum signature precisely.

576
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,340
I have remodulated
the shuttle's engines

577
00:38:25,550 --> 00:38:27,550
to emit an inverse warp field.

578
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,180
You will need to activate that field

579
00:38:29,390 --> 00:38:31,100
at the precise moment
you enter the fissure.

580
00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:34,390
WORF: Assuming it works,
will I find myself near my own ship?

581
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,440
That is one possibility.

582
00:38:36,650 --> 00:38:38,020
However, the uncertainty principle

583
00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:41,690
dictates that time is a variable
in this equation.

584
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:44,070
You may end up
several days before the event

585
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,660
or several days after.

586
00:38:45,870 --> 00:38:47,120
There is no way to tell.

587
00:38:47,330 --> 00:38:50,490
- I understand.
- Good luck.

588
00:39:38,540 --> 00:39:39,880
Setting course for the fissure.

589
00:39:40,090 --> 00:39:41,840
RlKER [OVER lNTERCOM :
Acknowledged.

590
00:39:42,590 --> 00:39:45,260
Captain,
the shuttlecraft is under attack.

591
00:39:45,470 --> 00:39:46,510
The Bajorans again.

592
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:50,600
No, sir, it's one of the Enterprises.
They're hailing us.

593
00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:54,020
On-screen.

594
00:39:55,230 --> 00:39:56,640
We won't go back.

595
00:39:56,890 --> 00:39:58,690
You don't know what it's like
in our universe.

596
00:39:58,900 --> 00:40:02,520
The Federation's gone.
The Borg is everywhere.

597
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,150
We're one of the last ships left.
Please, you've got to help us.

598
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,280
I'm sorry, there's no choice.

599
00:40:09,490 --> 00:40:11,570
If this works,
everything will return to--

600
00:40:11,780 --> 00:40:16,120
- No, we won't go back.
- Sir, they're firing on the shuttlecraft.

601
00:40:16,330 --> 00:40:18,330
Open fire. Try to disable them.

602
00:40:21,170 --> 00:40:24,340
Direct hit.
Their shields have collapsed.

603
00:40:24,550 --> 00:40:25,960
Their engine core is overloading.

604
00:40:30,140 --> 00:40:31,260
What happened?

605
00:40:31,470 --> 00:40:34,260
It looks like the ship
had already taken heavy damage.

606
00:40:34,470 --> 00:40:36,600
Their warp containment field
must have been weak.

607
00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:41,060
- Probably from fighting with the Borg.
- Captain, Worf is entering the fissure.

608
00:40:44,070 --> 00:40:46,530
Charging primary systems.

609
00:40:47,530 --> 00:40:50,820
Initiating inverse warp field.

610
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:26,980
Worf to Enterprise.

611
00:41:27,190 --> 00:41:29,440
PICARD [OVER INTERCOM]:
Enterprise here.

612
00:41:29,650 --> 00:41:31,990
Captain, is everything all right?

613
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,120
PICARD:
Yes, lieutenant. ls there a problem?

614
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,540
No, I do not believe so,
but I will explain when I arrive.

615
00:41:40,750 --> 00:41:43,370
PICARD:
How was the bat'leth tournament?

616
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:47,380
WORF:
It was fine, sir.

617
00:41:50,220 --> 00:41:52,680
I won champion standing.

618
00:41:59,430 --> 00:42:02,310
So you think this quantum fissure is
nothing that we need to worry about?

619
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,560
No, no, l believe
the inverse warp field resealed it.

620
00:42:05,770 --> 00:42:08,360
I'm looking forward
to reading your report.

621
00:42:17,030 --> 00:42:18,450
Something wrong?

622
00:42:18,660 --> 00:42:22,620
I know what you are planning, sir.
I will not be surprised.

623
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,000
Surprised?
I don't know what you're talking about.

624
00:42:25,210 --> 00:42:27,090
Of course you don't.

625
00:42:45,940 --> 00:42:47,810
- Welcome home, Worf.
- Aah!

626
00:42:48,020 --> 00:42:50,940
I hope you don't mind. l let myself in.

627
00:42:51,150 --> 00:42:53,780
I promised Alexander
I'd feed his Dalvin hissing beetle

628
00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:55,820
while you were both away.

629
00:42:57,660 --> 00:42:59,660
So you do not live here?

630
00:43:00,830 --> 00:43:02,370
What's that supposed to mean?

631
00:43:04,370 --> 00:43:06,120
It is a long story.

632
00:43:10,670 --> 00:43:13,420
Happy birthday, Worf.

633
00:43:13,630 --> 00:43:15,380
Will wanted to give you
a surprise party,

634
00:43:15,590 --> 00:43:19,350
but I knew you'd hate it,
so I talked him out of it.

635
00:43:19,970 --> 00:43:21,010
Thank you.

636
00:43:21,220 --> 00:43:24,810
I know Klingons like to be alone
on their birthdays.

637
00:43:25,020 --> 00:43:26,690
You probably want to meditate

638
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:29,480
or hit yourself with a painstik
or something.

639
00:43:30,270 --> 00:43:31,820
Deanna.

640
00:43:33,610 --> 00:43:35,240
You do not have to leave.

641
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:36,740
Oh?

642
00:43:37,820 --> 00:43:42,660
I have not had dinner.
Would you care to join me?

643
00:43:44,290 --> 00:43:45,500
I'd love to.

644
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:06,390
Champagne.
