Summary: a month after the events of Star Trek: First Contact, remnants of Borg technology aboard the Enterprise launch the ship to the moment when Buffy destroyed Adam.
Enterprise-E hangar. Earth's orbit
- Why can't we do the same thing that we did to come here? - asked Buffy.
- Because the energy field that supposedly emanates from the Hellmouth interferes with the transporter beam. That's why we are going to land in a shuttlecraft. - patiently explained Tony. - Geordi will catch Engonga and Lebrun on the roof of the Magic Box, after that he will let you, Xander, Korov and me off near your home, and finally will land inside the high school... the gymnasium has lost its roof, right?. There, Willow, Data and the others will determine who or what is causing the Hellmouth to open. Some question? No? Ok, then, board the ship now. -
Clearly unconvinced but with no arguments left, Buffy finally boarded the shuttlecraft Asimov.
While the shuttlecraft was leaving Picard thought that he had heard a soft female voice saying "Locutus..."

- Shut up! - Adam was shouting. - I am the Borg! You are dead! -
- Hearing voices, Adam? - said Spike from the metal bed where the drones were tying him - That don't say great things about your sanity. -

- Buffy, one thing I can say about your future. Next year is going to be one of the worst years of your life. - said Tony, while the sun was beginning to rise over the horizon, as it could be seen through the front window of the ship. - Family and personal matters will accumulate over supernatural threats and in the end wou will be forced to make the most difficult decision of your life. Even more difficult than slaying Angel two years ago. -
- What could be more difficult than that? - said Buffy her voice slightly choked up upon remembering the event.
- You will see. - said Tony, her gaze fixed on the magnificent dawn.
While Buffy was trying to decypher what Tony could have meant, Willow began her own questions.
- When you called the Enterprise, you said that it was involved what you called your "usual predestination time loop". -
Tony thought a moment before answering the question.
- It's part of my story. Look, I had just been rescued by the original Enterprise when an intruder appeared in the ship. The intruder was a future version of me, that was there to help J... the captain of the Enterprise with a matter, but to do that she and me had to stablish a telepathic link. As a result I have vague memories and deja-vus of what is happening with frequency. That is what I call my predestination time-loop, because even when I try to avoid what I know is going to happen... - her face became grim, remembering a particular incident - ...it happens anyway, exactly as I remember it. -

The black car parked before the house of the Summers. For a moment Joyce felt fear, that dissipated when Angel, Cordelia and another man that she thought that she had seen somewhere, exited the car and went toward her house.
On the other side of the street the man registered the unexpected arrivals.
- Buffy is still on patrol? - asked Angel.
- Yes, she hasn't come back. - seeing the look in Angel's face, Joyce asked - What's going on? -
- I don't really know. Cordelia had a vision... - seeing the look in Joyce face he explained - She had gained the skill to see flashes of things that are going to happen. The visions showed that Buffy was in danger, and that bad things were in motion here. - he added a second later. - More than usual.-
Ruins of Sunnydale High School
The Hellmouth opened a bit more. A shadow began to filter through the small crack, but suddenly stopped and retreated, while whispering: "Not yet.". Some minutes later, a small earthquake shook the building.

- Understood - said Lebrun to the commbadge.
He made a signal to Engonga, and blocked the door with one of the counters. They used the stairs in the back alley to climb to the roof. There, they awaited until an helicopter appeared, and approached to the roof, hovering a few centimeters over it.
Suddenly a section of the helicopter, where there wasn't a door, opened, revealing the interior of a Federation Type 9 shuttlecraft. From it, admiral Castro made a signal to them, who promptly boarded the ship. After closing the side door, the camouflaged shuttlecraft followed her way toward a park that was located near Buffy's house. There four person got out from it.
- It's amazing. If I didn't know otherwise, I could swear that it's a real helicopter. - said Xander
- Holographic camouphlage technology. It's quite useful in worlds with a 20th Century development level. - said Tony. - Although, it doesn't work in bigger ships. -
They walked toward Buffy's house. They approached from behind and entered through the back door. In the kitchen, Buffy heard her mother speaking with... Angel!? What was he doing here?
