In part two of this thrilling episode, the crew of the USS Voyager faces one of their most daunting challenges yet as they must come together to fight off the formidable Ascencia. With her new ability to see the future, courtesy of Wesley’s powers, she envisions a grim future where Voyager is destroyed. Determined to bring about this dark future, Ascencia launches a devastating superweapon against the ship—a temporal weapon capable of manipulating time itself. As it penetrates Voyager’s defenses, the weapon rapidly advances time within its path, threatening to obliterate everything and everyone onboard. The crew is thrust into a desperate race against time to find a way to disable the temporal anomaly before it consumes them all.
Realizing that no human can endure the anomaly long enough to disable it, Zero bravely volunteers to undertake this perilous mission. In a moment of ingenuity and courage, Zero calls upon Jankom to engineer a new body for him, capable of withstanding the intense temporal forces. As the crew rallies around this bold plan, the Doctor informs Admiral Janeway of their last-ditch effort. The weight of the mission rests heavily on them all, as they grapple with the uncertainty of what lies ahead and the consequences of failure.
During the battle, Admiral Jellico relays the grim news that no other Starfleet ships are within range to assist Voyager. This revelation underscores the isolation and urgency of their predicament, as the crew realizes they must rely solely on their own resourcefulness and teamwork to overcome the crisis.
Meanwhile, still aboard the shuttles, Dal makes a critical observation. He notices that the enemy drones pursuing them seem to predict their every move, almost as if they have access to Starfleet’s own tactical manuals. Sharing his insight with the others, Dal encourages them to abandon their standard training and think outside the box. By adopting unconventional tactics and exploiting their creativity, the crew begins to gain the upper hand against the relentless drones.
Zero, meanwhile, struggles to find a way to completely disable the temporal weapon but discovers an alternative solution: redirecting the weapon’s target to another Starfleet ship. In a bold and selfless move, Maj’el recommends using her shuttle as a decoy to lure the weapon away. With a daring maneuver, she pilots the shuttle directly into the heart of the enemy vessel, sacrificing herself for the greater good. Her bravery inspires the crew, and their efforts culminate in the successful destruction of the enemy ship.
In the aftermath of the battle, Admiral Janeway addresses the crew with an uplifting and heartfelt speech. She commends their resilience and ingenuity, acknowledging the tremendous sacrifices they have made. However, beneath her words of encouragement lies an undercurrent of worry about the future. The threat posed by Ascencia remains ever-present, and the crew knows they must remain vigilant in the face of such a cunning adversary.
Wesley, despite being pleased that his ruse worked to some extent, remains uneasy. Ascencia, though temporarily thwarted, reveals that she has gleaned enough information to plan a more widespread and insidious attack in the future. Wesley’s sense of foreboding grows as he realizes that Ascencia’s ambitions are far from over, and the battle for the future of Starfleet—and the galaxy—continues.
As the episode draws to a close, the crew of the USS Voyager stands united, resolute in their mission to protect the Federation and confront the challenges that lie ahead. They are acutely aware that the journey will not be easy, but with their unwavering determination and bond, they are prepared to face whatever obstacles come their way.
