Join me . Ive been looking forward to trying your replicator. Im sure that i can come up with something to toast the evening. Weve accomplished quite a bit today. Im afraid that wont be possible. I had your replicator taken offline. In case i decided to replicate a weapon. A safety precaution, you understand. Better than anyone. Sleep well. And you. 15 seconds. Our power output is below the detection threshold. Ten seconds. Five. Four. Three. Two. We werent detected. Ten minutes and well be out of range. Torres engineering to bridge. Weve got a problem. That pulse triggered a variance in the antimatter stream. Its not much, but it will light us up like a beacon when the next pulse hits. Janeway options . I cant correct it in time. So that leaves shutting down the core. Do it. Theres another pulse. Time . 28 seconds. Get down to the plasma injectors. 20 seconds. Belanna. Almost there, captain. I have a problem with the injectors. 15 seconds. Ten seconds. Four. Three. Two. beeping weve been detected. The arrays transmitting an alert. Negative. Belanna, fire up the core. Were getting out of here. Warships will be on their way but we can still reach the wormhole. If we can find it. Tom, how long to the tehara system . 11 hours at maximum warp. Engines are back online. Engage. Using the model you developed we were able to narrow down the location of the wormholes next appearance we cant determine its exact position until we reach the system but we know it will open in roughly six hours. It will remain open for two minutes at most. Ive devised a new shield modulation which should protect us against their weapons. Youre not planning to fight your way to the wormhole . If i have to. Paris bridge to captain janeway. Go ahead. Longrange sensors have picked up two devore warships heading right for us. Time to intercept . Six hours. Ill be in engineering. Kashyk. Modifications. Then well see if we can adjust our phasers to penetrate the devore shields. If torpedoes dont work, i want an alternative. Captain, we have to talk but not here. Im going back to rejoin the warships. Its the only way i can guarantee your safety. Kashyk. Im still a ranking officer. Vered. You said yourself theyre suspicious. Youll risk being caught. Ill keep them off track long enough to get you through that wormhole. Its too dangerous. Kathryn. You asked for safe passage and i agreed under the condition that you follow my orders. You may stand a chance against one of our warships but not against two. If i stay your best chance of escape will be lost. I could confine you to quarters. chuckles tay with us once we got through the wormhole. I wouldnt mind having someone around who appreciates a bit of tchaikovsky now and then. Generous but something tells me i wouldnt fit in any better on voyager. Well. You wouldnt be the first wayward soul weve folded into our ranks. Our course will put us just outside the tehara system by the time the warships arrive. Your inspection teams have to be off voyager before that wormhole opens. Believe me, it will be the quickest inspection on record. Ill be on the bridge. Your efforts have been greatly appreciated. My pleasure. Live long and prosper. Thank you. Kashyk begin preignition sequence. Ive made one adjustment to your plan. After the inspection, were going to wait at the wormhole for as long as we can. Until it begins to collapse. I may not be able to join you this time. Theyre assuming a tactical formation. Shields . No. We follow protocol. Bridge to transporter room. Status . Ready, captain. Pattern cohesion stable. Cargo bay one . Clear. Theyre hailing. On screen. Gaharay vessel, prepare to be. Janeway weve been through three inspections. Please explain why another is necessary. Crew members are instructed to step away from their stations. Side arms and scanning equipment are to be set aside. Deviation from this or any other inspection protocols will not be tolerated. All hands, this is the captain. Give them your usual warm welcome. Devore soldiers have materialized on decks 15, 12, eight, four. And. One. tchaikovsky symphony playing kashyk captain janeway, report to your ready room. Captain. Good to see you again. Likewise. Tchaikovsky. Mine, too. Im afraid prax isnt impressed. Hes solely concerned with his work, arent you, prax . As you say, sir. Yes, hes curious why you entered this sector. Youre aware its restricted. We were planning to study a super nova remnant not far from here. You strayed a full lightyear from your course in order to observe an astronomical phenomenon . Were explorers. Yes, i remember. I also remember warning you about going where you dont belong. Exploring can sometimes be hard to resist, inspector. Well, its a romantic notion, captain but one i cant allow you to indulge. Im afraid ill have to ask you to leave our space immediately. Prax, why dont you check on our teams while i reiterate our protocols for captain janeway. Do they suspect anything . Not yet but our warships and mine as well. I dont think we have much time. The brenari . Theyre in transporter suspension. And the wormhole . We found it. Its 20,000 kilometers off our port bow. Weve determined that a photon torpedo properly calibrated will force open the threshold long enough for voyager to get through. Congratulations, captain. For awhile, i wasnt sure if even you could find it. Prax. Go to cargo bay one. Youll find the transporter patterns for more than a dozen telepaths. Rematerialize them. Yes, sir. Impressive. You gave a masterful performance. Im the one whos impressed with your selflessness, your humanity. It made all this so much easier. Oh, but what about your selflessness . Was that a fabrication, too . Oh, that incident was real. What i didnt tell you was that after wrestling with my ethics i realized that id done the right thing in order to protect my people from a very real threat. Please. I insist. Access their forward sensor array. You should find neutrino emissions at roughly 20,000 kilometers off the port bow. On screen. Target two photon torpedoes. When the first one detonates the wormhole will open. Use the second one to destabilize its subspace matrix. That will destroy it. Prax, report. Ive isolated the biopatterns. Fire. It should have detonated. Those arent neutrino emissions. Theyre antimatter residue signatures. You created false readings. That is the theme for this evening, isnt it . Prax, do you have the telepaths . I have cargo containers. Filled with vegetables. Return to the bridge. Computer, change music selection. Mahlers symphony number one, second movement. Maybe this will help you relax. Two of their shuttlecraft are missing. They couldnt have gone far. Why didnt they appear on our longrange scans . Of course adjust our scanners to compensate for refractive shielding. Well, you gave us the specifications. Seemed a shame to waste them. Weve located the two shuttlecraft. Range 20 million kilometers. Order our ships to pursue. Were approaching the coordinates. Im firing the torpedo. The shuttles have disappeared from sensors. Weve scanned for a wormhole. If there was one, its gone. Ill order janeway and her crew removed. Well confiscate the vessel. Youre dismissed. Imperative 12, codicil six requires. To hell with protocol, prax do you think either of us will benefit from having this failure on our records . As far as youre concerned this incident never occurred. Make sure your teams share well played, captain. It seems i never did earn your trust. I had to take a few precautions. You understand. Better than anyone. I never lied to you. My offer to take you with us was genuine and it would still stand if youd kept your part of the bargain. For what its worth. Pting offer. [captioning sponsored by paramount television and United Paramount Network this was their first view of it. Sato if you didnt look too close youd think it was earth. Breaking ground on the town hall. Is that captain mitchell . No. I thinkthatsmitchell. Are we there yet . Three hours, 17 minutes to go, sir. Travis has been digging through the archives. Crew manifests. Survey photos. Weekly status reports. I was hoping to find something a clue to what happened. Youd be the first. Ive been fascinated by terra nova since i was a kid, sir. I always thought lost colonies affected boomers more than anyone else. Something about people who choose to live offworld. In about three hours and 17 minutes. . Its been a long road . Getting from there to here . Its been a long time . But my time is finally near . And i will see my dream come alive at last . . And theyre not gonna hold me down no more . . No, theyre not gonna change my mind . . cause ive got faith of the heart . . Im going where my heart will take me . . Ive got faith to believe . I can do anything . No ones gonna bend or break me . . I can reach any star . Ive got faith . Ive got, ive got . . Ive got faith . Faith of the heart. [captioning sponsored by paramount television terra nova . Im surprised youve never heard of it. Im not familiar with the early years of human space exploration. Really . Every schoolkid on earth had to learn about the famous vulcan expeditions. Name one. History was never my best subject. It was called the great experiment. Could humans colonize deep space . Theyd already built new berlin on the moon utopia planetia on mars even a few asteroid colonies, but all within our solar system. When they found an earthlike planet less than 20 lightyears away, it was hard to resist. Took them, what, nine years to get there . Nine years there nine years back, but they made it. My grandfather remembered seeing their first transmissions when he was a kid. chuckles what happened to them . People have been trying to answer that question for a long time. After the colony was built relations with earth became strained. The space agency figured nothing succeeds like success so they decided to send another vessel. Archer the colonists protested. Theyd been there five years. This was their home. They didnt want another 200 people arriving. But the folks back on earth argued that there werent any other habitable planets within reach but the colonists dug their heels in. There were a few angry messages sent back and forth and one day. Why didnt you send a vessel to find out what happened . Nine years there, nine years back it would have been a pretty long trip. A vulcan trip could have made the journey in far less time. Why didnt you ask them . Asking favors of the vulcans usually ends up carrying too high a price. My experience with humans is limited but ive come to learn that theyre quite resourceful. 200,000 kilometers. Lets see it. I promised my dad id see this place someday. Put us in orbit over the colony. Terra nova colony this is captain Jonathan Archer of the starshipenterprise. Weve come from earth. Please respond. No answer, sir. Any biosigns . No, but the colony appears to be intact. Im also detecting i cant tell. Lets take a look. Closer. Looks like a ghost town. Lets hope the ghosts can give us some answers. How bad is the radiation . Less than 800 millirads. A few hours of exposure shouldnt pose a risk. Trip, take the bridge. A housing unit. No sign of weapons fire. Only rust. Whatever happened, i got to believe they tried to let earth know about it. Weve got the schematics for the communications tower. Good. See if the data buffers intact. We might be able to access their last transmission logs. See what else you can find. Judging by the isotope decays the radiation levels 70 years ago would have been lethal. If thats what killed them, where are the bodies . Maybe they left the planet before it could affect them. That would have been difficult. Thats a bulkhead. They designed their ship to be disassembled. Thats how they built the colony. Hello . Were not alone, sir. Theres someone in the forest. On our way. I believe he went in there. Did you get a look at him . Looking scales. This leads to a network of caverns that extend for several hundred meters. Archer to mayweather. Go ahead, sir. Get back to the shuttle, and grab a pair of flashlights. Make it quick. scraping sounds captain. My name is archer. Were looking for some people. I was hoping you could help us. Were not going to hurt you. Were just trying to find out what happened to them. automatic rifle fire which way . gunfire tpol to captain archer. Captain . Were under attack and i think we just took a wrong turn. We could use a little help navigating down here. Just a moment. In approximately three meters a tunnel will branch off to your left. Take it. I dont see a tunnel. Correction ten meters. gunfire gunshot groans malcolm . Malcolm gunfire wheres malcolm . Go. gunfire take us up if those aliens killed the colonists they could kill malcolm, too. Those werent aliens. Hi mom. Just to see how youre doing. Ill be alright. But it was a shock. I never saw it coming. I know. I cant believe they would let you go, after 20 years. Things are starting to sink in. I realize ive got decisions to make. Like how to replace the Life Insurance i had through work. Life insurance . Id think youd have other priorities. My priority is making sure you dont get stuck with a lot expenses if something happens to me. Mom, theres no reason to think anything is going to happen. A couple of days ago, there was no reason to think id lose my job. No one likes to think about it, but you have to be ready for it. Youre right. Can i help .

If theyre human, why were they shooting at us . Archer to the bridge. What have you found . Weve got a pretty good picture of those caverns and weve picked up 52 biosigns so far all human. The only one im interested in right now is lieutenant reed. Weve got to get him out of there. Have you found him . Yes, sir, hes about 90 meters below the surface. Hes not responding to hails, captain, but hes alive. Have dr. Phlox join us in the situation room. Tucker aye, sir. If these are the descendants of the original colonists theyve never seen other humans before. Maybe we looked as strange to them as they did to us. Tucker twelvepointsix kilometers worth of tunnels. Looks like they even dug a few wells. The geologys a little shaky. Some of these passageways have collapsed. Not yet. What do they do for food . Many species feed on underground fauna and flora tubers, fungi, insects. They also hunt some kind of burrowing animal. Wheres malcolm . Right here, sir. There are two people with him. Can we use the transporter . Hes too deep. A section of this tunnel is collapsed its empty. If we could get into it we could clear the obstruction with phasepistols. Wed be less than 20 meters from lieutenant reed. What about these two . We have to assume theyre armed. A stun grenade would solve that problem. I dont want to risk any more casualties. Despite how they look, theyre still human. Weve got to find some way to talk to them. They didnt seem too eager to talk. If i cant make First Contact with other hu. I dont have any business being out here. Malcolm was shot. Grab your medical kit and meet me at the launch bay. Right away, sir. Captain . Try to find out rk on that data buffer. I want to know if they tried to send any messages to earth. Phlox do you think they know weve returned . Hard not to hear a shuttlepod landing on your roof. shouting im unarmed. I just want to talk. Fancy meeting you here. Hows the leg . Ive lost a bit of blood, sir but i dont think its too serious. Phlox may i have my medical supplies, please . Human . Thats right. Whats that . My name is phlox. I am a denobulan. I am captain archers physician. You tracked from earth. On a sky ship. Its called enterprise. To what . Gut the rest of us . No. Were here to find out what happened to the colony. We came to help you. Novans have had enough help from you. Were not so easy to hunt as diggers. Go back to the overside, or well seal your passage. I told you. Were not here to hurt anybody. Take that one, and dont track back. All right on one leg. My doctor needs to treat him. What makes you think were here to hurt you . Humans hurt novans. They gutted us. Our families. Our beforefamilies. I dont understand. The poison rain. I was no taller than a digger but i can still see back. We lived on the overside. Then the humans dropped the poison, burned our skin gutted the grown ones. There was no place to go but here. To the. Underside. I think i know what youre talking about. The poison rain. It was some kind of radiation. I dont know what caused it, but im sure it wasnt humans. He can walk. More or less but ill need to get him back to sick bay to remove the projectile. I know this will be hard for you to accept but youre the descendants of human beings. Your ancestors colonized this planet over 70 years ago. They came from earth, just like i did. I dont know what happened but maybe we could Work Together and find out. He speaks inshale. If thats your way of calling me a liar find out what happened here. No. Are you aware that your mother is sick . This is one of the tools the captain spoke of which can tell me all kinds of things about the inside of your body. She has an illness that we call lung cancer but its easily cured. Dr. Phlox can make her well but shed have to come back to our ship. This isshale. They want to trap us on the overside. To gut us. How long of a day would it take . Not long. A few hours, at the most. Hours . Shed be back before the sun rises on the overside. Let us help you. This one stays. He needs to be treated, as well. Hell be fine, for a few hours. Dont worry about me, sir. I was just getting used to the place. Thatsenterprise. Its a lot like the ship it was called theconestoga. Maybe you were born on board. Or were you born after your parents got here . My parents were novans. They came from the overside. Nadet no more let me out open the passage. Just a few more seconds. Jamin open it my apologies for any discomfort. Is she healed . Not quite. First, we have to determine how far her sickness has spread. That is you. The inside of you, anyway. This picture will tell me what kind of treatment youll require. The malignancy has spread to her lymphatic system. Shell need a series of cytolytic injections. Injections . Medicine. Hes just going to give her some medicine. Ill need a few minutes to synthesize it. Ive got some other pictures you might like to see. One of my crewmen found these in our database. They might help you remember what it was like living on the overside before the poison rain. Its humanshale. Theyre confusing our path. You will lose your tracks in this. Im just trying to help you see how you got here. All i see is digger filth. Well, look again. Because whether you want to believe it or not were both human. Keep me posted. Captains starlog, supplemental subcommander tpol has discovered the remnants of an impact crater that could explain the radiation. How far away is it . About 500 kilometers north. How deep . Its been partially filled in by erosion over the years but im reading impact fractures down to nearly 2,000 meters. Comet or an asteroid . A large one. The tectonic analysis puts the impact at approximately 70 years ago. The poison rain. The geology was comprised primarily of beresium ore. The thermoshock would have created a radioactive cloud that probably covered the Northern Hemisphere for more than a year. They spent all those years getting here. Thats an old mk33, isnt it . Or is it a 34 . Impressive body armor youre wearing. Did you make it yourself . Right. I dont suppose theres a lavatory on the premises, is there . I wouldnt mind freshening up a little. Didnt think so. Is your belly hollow . That all depends. Digger meat. Looks a little, uh. Undercooked. Humans are like damp moss. They rot on the underside. Not bad. lowpitched horn sounding music continues door chimes come in. Its a transmission, sir. Its the last one anyone made as far as we can tell. It was still in the buffer. Mayweather its captain mitchell. Mitchell no matter how angry logans threats may have seemed there had to have been a way of dealing with this other than attacking us. Nearly half the adults are dead, including dr. Tracey and everyone else is getting sick except for the younger children. If they have any chance of surviving the least you could do is have the vulcans send a ship for them. But for all i know ed terra nova enough to do this . Well, its yours now but i doubt youll be very pleased with what you find when you get here. Mark logan was the head of the opposition the ones who were against a second wave of settlers. Supposedly, he threatened to fire at any ship that came into orbit. The irony is that captain mitchells message never reached earth. The debris in the atmosphere was too dense. So, for some reason the young kids survive and begin living underground. Their last memories of their parents are hearing them blame humans for destroying the colony. The idea that humans are the enemy has been embedded in them for more than two generations. This isnt going to be easy. Phlox sick bay to archer. Go ahead. Is everything all right . Nadets cancer has been eliminated. Nice work. But i found something quite troubling. Both she and her son are showing signs of microcellular decay in their endocrine systems. Their underground water supply has probably become contaminated. I dont have any medication to treat this and its only going to get worse. Would bringing them to the surface help . Tpol says the soil and foliage is going to remain irradiated for at least another decade. Hows she doing . Shes as disagreeable as she was before i treated her
