Picard watched as the Borg Sphere flew towards Earth. They had succeeded in destroying the Borg Cube that had threatened Earth, only for this thing to emerge. In his mind, the Borg gave him tantalizing hints to the nature of their plan, but he could not figure out what they were doing yet.
Data reported, "Sensors show chronometric particles emanating from the Sphere."
Picard rose from his chair as the knowledge hit him, " They're creating a temporal vortex."
Riker stood up beside him, "Time travel."
A blue spherical hole appeared in front of the Borg Sphere as the chronometric particles tore a hole in the fabric of space-time. Waves began emitting from the hole itself as it expanded.
Picard said, "Mr. Data, are we in phaser range?"
Data replied, "Yes."
Picard said, "Lock on and fire."
Orange phaser fire lanced out from the Enterprise and slammed into the Borg Sphere seconds before it entered the rift. At nearly the same moment, the temporal wake slammed into the Enterprise.
Riker looked around with a surprised look on his face, "Hey, nothing changed. I guess we destroyed it."
Data replied, "Perhaps not. If the timeline has been altered, we would not be aware of it, as we would have shifted timelines as well, making this our normal reality." Data looked at the sensor readings and said, "Captain, the temporal wake seems to be strengthening. It is pulling us in."
Picard said, "Helm, full reverse. Get us out of here."
The Enterprise began shuddering as the engines battle to pull the Enterprise out of the temporal wake.
Picard said, "Geordi, can you get me any more power?"
Down in the engine room, Geordi lifted his head as he responded, " I don't know, Captain. If we push it too hard, the stress from the temporal wake could tear the ship apart."
Riker said, "We don't have much of a choice. We have no idea where that rift goes. It could send us to the Earth-Romulan War for all we know."
Geordi said over the comm, "Actually, I have an idea. Once we cross over, I can modify the engines to emit chronometric particles, in essence creating our own temporal vortex to get back."
Picard, intrigued, said, "How long will it take to make the necessary adjustments?"
Geordi made some quick calculations and replied, "A day."
"I don't like it," said Riker, "We could irrevocably alter the course of history in a day."
Data chimed in and said, "Possibly, but it may also be that we have already altered history, since it has already happened, and this could be natures way of ensuring we do what we have already done. A continuity loop, if you wish."
Riker replied with a frown on his face, "I hate paradoxes."
Picard made his decision, "Alright then. Helm, take us into the rift. Mr. La Forge, begin work on those modifications once we are through."
Geordi signed off with an, "Aye, Captain."
The Enterprise ceased it's resistance, and slid silently into the temporal rift.

The expulsion of two points of light from temporal rifts, in separate parts of the galaxy, heralded the end of an age, and foretold of great things to come.
