Chapter 7.
Eye of the needle.
(Scott POV)
"Captain's Log Stardate 48579.4. The crew has been scanning constantly for anomalies that might help us shorten our journey home. Ensign Kim has reported an exciting discovery, A subspace disturbance which may be a wormhole, End log," I finished as I had also finished getting dressed and headed for the Bridge.
"Let's see what you have, Mr. Kim," I said.
"There, It's registering only on subspace bands, we don't even have it on long range sensors yet," Kim said.
"Verteron Emanations, Tunneling secondary particles. It certainly looks like a wormhole," I said.
"But is it stable enough for us to enter," Chakotay said. "And if it is, where does it lead?"
"There is, of course a 75% chance a wormhole will not lead to the Alpha Quadrant," Tuvok said.
"Very true, But you can also say there's a 1 in 4 chance it will. Those aren't bad odds," I said. "Any analysis yet, Ensign?"
"We're too far away," Kim said. "We'd have to be within 1000 kilometers to get a detailed analysis, But that would mean a significant Course change,"
"Well, Mr. Kim, If there's even a the possibility of finding a wormhole I think we can afford a detour, Paris, input the coordinates and change course," I said.
"Aye Captain, And May I suggest if this works we petition the Federation Astronomical Committee to officially designate this The Harry Kim wormhole," Paris said.
XXX
"Captain, We're approaching the Coordinates of the wormhole," Paris said.
"On screen," I said. "Are we in visual range?"
"Affirmative, Captain and the anomaly is still registering on subspace bands," Kim said.
"Sensors also indicate it's there," Paris said.
"Magnify," I said. "Increase to highest Magnification,"
"If that's a wormhole it must be the smallest one on record," Chakotay said.
"Kim are you able to analyze it?" I said.
"Aye Captain, it's virtually Microscopic," Kim said. "The aperture is only about 30 cms in Diameter,"
"I guess it's a little too small for us to fly through," Paris said.
"However it might be large enough to act as a conduit for a message," Tuvok said.
"That's right," Kim said. " It could carry a compressed data Transmission to Federation Space in minutes,"
"We still have to find out if it goes anywhere near the Alpha Quadrant," I said. "Can you Trace it's subspace bearing?"
"I can't get any directional reading at all, The Aperture is too small," Kim said.
"I recommend we launch a micro Probe into the wormhole," Tuvok said.
"Agreed. Do it. Lt," I said.
"Aye Captain," Tuvok said. Then he shot off the probe.
"We're receiving telemetry," Kim said.
"Doesn't look like any wormhole I've ever studied," Paris said.
"Microscopic gravitational eddies Extremely constricted spatial dimensions The pathway is barely wider than the probe itself," Kim said.
"I think we're seeing is a wormhole in an advanced state of decay," I said. "Must be ancient, Probably been collapsing for Centuries,"
"Does that mean we can't send a message through it?" Paris said.
"No I can do it. Maybe it'll take longer to get through," Kim said. "But the wormhole's still stable enough to carry a Transmission,"
"Any idea yet where that message would end up, Ensign?" Chakotay said.
"I'll try extrapolating the Verteron Exit vector," Kim said. " No I can't get it, There's a strange Phase Variance, in the Radiation Stream, We'll have to wait until the probe exits,
"That shouldn't take long," I said.
"Captain, I'm getting a distorted energy reading," Paris said.
"The Probe's telemetry has changed," Tuvok said.
"It's stuck," Kim said.
"Stuck," I said.
"It's mired in a gravitational eddy and because the wormhole's in a state of collapse, Those eddies are incredibly dense," Kim said. "That probe will never break free, Captain and we have no way of finding out where the wormhole ends,"
"Let's give it some time, Maybe it will work itself loose," I said.
"Captain," Kim said.
"What is it, Ensign?" I said.
"Our probe was just scanned," Kim said. "There's somebody on the other side of the wormhole,"
XXX
I called for a staff meeting.
"We've analyzed the data. So far our sensors have detected 4 separate scans of the micro-probe. Each one on a progressively narrower band, Someone on the other end of that wormhole is definitely interested in that probe," Kim said.
We cannot preclude the possibility That there is a microscopic Entity with in the wormhole curious about an intruder," Tuvok said.
"That's possible. But you'd think our probe would have detected something like that," Kim said.
"What's the condition of the probe now," I said.
"I've been monitoring it from Engineering," Torres said. "It's still imbedded in the gravitational eddy but within 72 hours it will be crushed,"
"But until then, It should continue to transmit telemetry," Kim said.
"If we're reading scans from the other side, It's possible the probe is acting as a relay," I said. "If that's true we should be able to use it to transmit a message to whoever is executing the scan,"
"Yes. I can modify our subspace communications band to accept the probe as a booster," Kim said.
"Let's try it, Mr. Kim. Then we know where it leads," I said.
"I'll give you a hand," Torres said as both of them left.
"I fear Mr. Kim's exuberance may turn into an equally intense disappointment if his Efforts prove in vain," Tuvok said.
"You may be right, But I'd rather assume that he's going to be successful," I said.
XXX
Then we were back on the bridge.
"Engineering to Bridge," Kim said.
"McCall here," I said.
"We have a communications link with the Micro-probe. We're going to try and sending a preliminary test signal a series of sub harmonic pulses, They stand the best chance of Transmission through the wormhole," Kim said.
"Acknowledged," I said. "Proceed,"
"Aye, Captain," Kim said as a was bring up the commander station next to my left side.
"I'm reading transmission of the test signal, The probe has received it and relayed it," Chakotay said.
"How will we know if the signal reaches somebody?" Paris said.
"The only way is if that somebody answers," I said. "Are you reading anything, Tuvok?"
"Negative, Captain," Tuvok said. "There's nothing that would suggest a response,"
"Even if someone receives our signal it might take them some time to figure out how to return it," Chakotay said.
"You're right. McCall to Kim continue transmitting," I said.
"Aye captain," Kim said. "How long should we keep it up?"
"Until I tell you otherwise or the probe is destroyed," I said. "You have the bridge, Commander,"
"Captain," Tuvok said.
"Tuvok," I said.
"I'm getting something, Captain," Tuvok said.
"I'm getting it too," Paris said. "A subspace signal relayed through the probe,"
"That signal's being transmitted exactly the same frequency and amplitude as our signal," Tuvok said."It's a response, Someone received out Transmission and sent one back, and their signal originated in the Alpha Quadrant,"
XXX
"Captain's log, Supplemental, Encouraged by his success in transmitting a signal to the Alpha Quadrant, Kim's is investigating the possibility of establishing a voice link with whoever is at the other end of the Wormhole, End Log entry," I said. As I was working on the list of weapons to train people in when the door bell rang. "Come in," Then the door open and Kes came in. "Kes, This is a surprise,"
"Am I interrupting?" Kes said.
"Not at all," I said. "I was just going to have some Soup. Would you like anything?"
"Spinach juice with a touch of pear, Please," Kes said."Tom Paris introduced me to it. It's very nutritious,"
"I'm sure, But That's not my cup of tea," I said.
"Computer, One spinach juice with a touch of pear and one Cream of Mushroom soup," I said.
Then I grabbed them and passed Kes what she wanted,
"What can I do for you?" I said.
"If there were a member of the crew whose needs weren't being met would you want to know about it?" Kes said.
"Of course," I said. "Kes, do you and Neelix feel that your needs are being ignored?"
"Of course not," Kes said. "We're very happy here. I'm referring to the Doctor,"
"The Doctor," I said.
"I don't understand why people treat him the way they do," Kes said.
"How do people treat him?" I said.
"As though he doesn't exist," Kes said. "They talk about him while he's standing right there, They ignore him. They insult him,"
"Well as a matter of fact I've been hearing the other side of the coin, Many of the crew have complained that the Doctor is brusque, Even rude, That he lacks any bedside manner. We've been talking about reprogramming him," I said.
"You can do that?" Kes said. "It doesn't seem right,"
"Kes, he's only a hologram," I said.
"He's your medical officer, He's alive,"Kes said.
"No, he's not," I said.
"He's self aware, He's communicative, He has the ability to learn," Kes said.
"Because he's been programmed to go that," I said.
"So because he's a hologram, He doesn't have to be treated with respect or any consideration at all," Kes said.
"Kes. You know about World war 3 on Earth right," I said.
"Yes," Kes said.
"That was all an AI designed to protect us, It became self aware and it launch every nuke on every city across the world with only one intention to kill every single human on the planet. Those what survived called it Judgement Day. A few years later, That same AI made machines with one program. One thing to do. Kill every last human they come across, Doesn't matter whether age. Anything. It wanted us dead. Even after we fought back and beat it. We have been making sure that does never happen again," I said. Then after 2 minutes. "However. Very well, I'll look into it,"
"Thank you, Captain," Kes said.
Then not to long later. I was back on the bridge ready to try it.
"Okay, We'll be ready to go online in a couple minutes," Kim said.
"I'm still worried about the Gravitational Interference, I don't think the covariant Isolator will be effective with a vocal transmission," Torres said.
"Let's try inverting the narrow band filter," Kim said.
"Progress, Ensign," I said.
"I think we're ready to give it a try, But we're pushing through some pretty heavy Gravitational Interference," Kim said. "I can't guarantee the clarity of the transmission,"
"Let's see what happens," I said.
Then they open a channel.
"This is Captain Scott McCall of the Federation Starship Voyager, Do you read?" I said. Then only got static.
"I'll narrow the filter band pass some more," Torres said. "Try again, Captain,"
Then we hailed again.
"This is Scott McCall of the Federation Starship Voyager. Is anyone receiving this Communication?" I said.
Static and then "Vessel,"
"Narrow the Band pass a little more," Kim said. "Try again Captain,"
"This is McCall, Please repeat your last transmission," I said.
Static then "Of the Cargo vessel... Quadrant... Your location," it said.
"Cargo Vessel we're still trying to clear up your last transmission. Please repeat one more time," I said.
"The Captain of the Cargo Vessel Talvath, Location Alpha Quadrant. Sector 1385, What is your location," He said.
"We are in the Delta Quadrant, But since this Quadrant hasn't been charted, I can't specify our exact location," I said.
"Please Confirm, You said Delta Quadrant?" He said.
"Correct," I said.
"In a Federation Starship?" He said.
"Yes, We were on a mission and we got pulled into this Quadrant," I said.
"Pulled in. How," He said.
"It's a complicated story, Please if you would just try deconstructing the phase shift of our hailing Frequency you could verify," I said.
"You are undoubtedly still in the Alpha Quadrant? What are your Coordinates?" He said.
"I assure you. I am telling you the Truth, We are in the Delta Quadrant 70,000 light years from you," I said.
"This is preposterous you are obviously lying," He said. "I'm terminating the communication,"
"No. No. Wait," I said. "Harry hail him again,"
"No response, Captain," Kim said.
"Why would he have broken off Transmission?" Chakotay said.
"Perhaps I can offer an explanation," Tuvok said. "The comlink signature of his transmission indicates the message originated from a Romulan Ship,"
"I know there was something about that ship name," I said.
"Further, There are no known shipping lanes in the sector he Identified. Given the precise calibration of his signal, I would suggest that he is in fact onboard a science Vessel," Tuvok said.
"Why would he pretend to be a cargo Captain?" Paris said.
"If he's engaged in some kind of secret research he might want to conceal that fact," Chakotay said.
"Precisely, When we claimed to be transmitting from the delta quadrant, an impossibility so far as he knows, He may have feared we were Federation Spies," Tuvok said.
"Just out luck, We raise one ship fro the Alpha Quadrant and it has to be Romulan," Torres said.
"That Romulan still has the ability to get a message to Starfleet, " I said. "Harry, Hail the Talvath Repeatedly. Call me the minute you re-establish Contact. Commander you have the bridge,"
"Aye Captain," Chakotay said.
XXX
While I was waiting for him to respond. I headed down to Sickbay.
"Computer Initiate Emergency Medical Holographic Program," I said not finding him around
"Please state the nature of the Medical Emergency," He said.
"There is no emergency, Doctor," I said.
"Well, That's good," He said. "I was right in the middle of preparing a culture to test Lt Hargrove for Arethean flu when Ensign Kyoto deactivated me,"
"I'm sure she didn't realize you were busy," I said.
"What is it you want, Captain," He said.
"Actually I though we might just Talk for a moment," I said.
"About what?" He said.
"Doctor, you were originally programmed to serve in a limited fashion during an emergency, Now you're being asked to do much more," I said.
"That's certainly true," He said. "I'm providing full time Medical service for the entire ship's crew functioning as both Doctor and nurse and now as an instructor as well,"
"You don't have the luxury of thinking of yourself as an EMH Program anymore," I said. "You'v become a full fledged member of the crew,"
"I see, "He said. "Are you suggesting that I be reprogrammed?"
"No," I said. "I'm asking if there's anything I can do to help you,"
"Help me?" He said.
"If there's anything you need or want I'd like to see that you get it," I said.
"What I'd lie is to be turned off when people leave," He said. "I spend hours here with absolutely nothing to do, When someone does remember to deactivate me, they do without asking if it's convenient, It's extremely irritating"
"What if I gave you control over your deactivation sequence?" I said.
"I beg your pardon?" He said.
"I'm sure we can make it possible for you to turn yourself off or to prevent being turned off," I said.
"I might like that," He said.
"I'll have someone look into it, Anything else?" I said.
"I'll have to give it some thought," He said.
"You do that," I said. "I will also leave you on so you can think about that,"
"Thank you, Captain," He said.
Then I lefted.
XXX
I was in my room on my PS4 first time since we got stranded here. Since I have been replicating my setup. Ann Started to play The Last of Us Remastered. I only got through the first chapter into a QZ area when.
"Kim to Captain McCall," Kim comned me. And I paused it
"McCall here," I said.
"Captain, We've got him back The Romulan," Kim said.
"Good work, Put him through to my Quarters," I said.
"This is Scott McCall," I said.
"This is the cargo Vessel Talvath," He said.
"Thank you for answering our hail, Captain," I said. "What is your name? How may I address you?"
"I'd prefer not to give my name," He said.
"Very well," I said. "I understand that you must have been skeptical when I told you where we are, I hope you've been able to Verify our position,"
"My analysis of your hailing frequency seems to indicate that it originates in the Delta Quadrant, But I am not precluding the possibility that you've been able to create that illusion somehow," He said.
"To what end?" I said.
"I'm not sure, But that doesn't negate the possibility," He said.
"How can I assure you of my truthfulness?" I said.
"You say you're a Federation ship," He said. "Are you a Starfleet Vessel?"
"Yes we are," I said.
"And your mission in the Delta Quadrant?" He said.
"Our mission was originally in the Alpha Quadrant. We were pulled against our will to our present location, Now we're trying to get home," I said.
"Aren't you in fact Starfleet spies on a surveillance mission?" He said.
"Captain, I understand your concern. Naturally, The Romulan Empire doesn't want Starfleet spying on it's science vessels But since we're 70,000 light years from Romulan space and a Subspace message to Starfleet would take years I think you have to admit that we can't be much of a threat to you, You have nothing to fear from us," I said.
"Soothing words, Captain," He said. "But they are only words,"
"If we were spies, we wouldn't be asking what I'm going to ask you now. We have no way of communicating with Starfleet with our Friends and families, we're hoping you might be able to relay a message for us, Our crew is not large, Each of them could write a shirt, personal message. You'd be welcome to read them all before passing them on and I think you'd be convinced that they're nothing more than the Heartfelt words of some very lonely people," I said.
"Captain, It would ease my apprehension if I could see that you are who you say you are, I have a signal amplifier on board, I've been working to reconfigure the Protocols to penetrate the radiation stream of the wormhole. I think I might be possible to establish a visual link between us," He said.
"I have no objection, When that's done, Will you help us?" I said.
"I make no promises, let us proceed one step at a time," He said.
"Have your officers contact me in order to attempt the Visual link, Good night," He said.
"Good night," I said. Then it closed.
XXX
Then Next day I was in the ready room before heading out to see if we were ready to go.
"We're ready to try a Visual link with the Romulan ship, Captain," Tuvok said.
"Good work," I said.
"We didn't have any trouble configuring the protocols," Kim said. "But that phase variance in the radiation stream gave us a few problems, Torres is going to balance it manually from engineering,"
"Okay, We've got the communications Frequency locked in," Paris said.
"On screen," I said.
"I presume you are Captain McCall," he said.
"Yes," I said. "I want to thank you, Captain, For Maintaining contact with us, It means a great deal to myself and my crew,"
"I am not familiar with this class of ship," He said.
"She's new. But It isn't classified, I'm a little surprised your intelligence hasn't provided you With information," I said.
"I've been at space for over a year, Captain, and am not privy to the latest intelligence, I'm sure that our operatives have provided the government with the detailed information about your new ship," He said.
"No doubt," I said. "Captain have you been able to communicate with your government about sending our messages?"
"I have," He said. "They're promised to take the matter under advisement,"
"I see, "I said. "And when do you think they will have an answer?"
"It is impossible to predict the timetable of the Romulan senate, When they've made their decision, I will hear from them," He said.
"We don't have the luxury of a great deal of time. my officer are predicting that the probe will become inoperable in the next 48 hours," I said.
"Captain, I'm a low ranking scientist a mine functionary, it is not my place to tell the Romulan senate to speed up their decision making process," He said.
"You said you've been in space for over a year, Do you have any family? I said.
"Yes," He said.
"I assume they're not with you in space," I said.
"My wife and My daughter are on Romulus," He said.
"A daughter," I said. "How old is she?"
"She is 7 months," He said.
"Then you've never seen her," I said.
"To my sorrow, No," He said. "She will be 2 years old before I get back,"
"You must miss your family very much," I said.
"I know when I accepted this assignment that there would be a price to pay," He said "Perhaps I didn't realize how high that price would be,"
"Captain, every one of us on this ship has left behind friends, Family, loved ones," I said. "We may not see them again, for years. Maybe never, So we can all understand how lonely you must be, Surely you can understand our feelings as well. We would be deeply grateful for any efforts you might make to persuade your Government to send our messages,"
"I cannot guarantee success, But I will try to persuade my superiors to make their decision quickly and positively," He said.
"Thank you," I said.
"I will contact you again," He said then cut the channel.
"Commander. Let's assume he's going to be successful. Tell the crew to prepare personal messages and have them ready within the hour," I said.
"With Pleasure, Captain," Chakotay said.
Then I was going to head into my ready room when Torres came out of the turbolift.
"Captain, I have to talk to you," Torres said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"No. I mean, In private," She said.
Then we went into my ready room.
"I think this will work, Captain," Torres said. "But I didn't want to bring it up in front of the crew, It wouldn't be right to get their hopes up in case it doesn't work,"
"Slow Down. Tell me what you're talking about," I said.
"The phase amplitude of the visual link with the Romulan ship, It's within just a few megahertz of meeting Transporter Protocols," Torres said.
"Are you suggesting?" I said.
"We might be able to piggy back a transporter beam onto the visual link," Torres said. "We could transport the Entire crew back to the Alpha Quadrant,"
"You'll have to reconfigure the matter transmission rate fairly substantially," I said "And we risk losing whatever we try to beam out,"
"We'll have to run a series of tests first," Torres said.
"See to it, Lt," I said.
"I'll need some help," Torres said.
"You have my Authorization to use any of the ship's personnel you need," I said. "This is top priority and don't worry about secrecy, I doubt you'll be able to keep this quiet for very long,"
XXX
I was back on the bridge ready to get it a shot.
"Our chief Engineer has managed to bind a transporter beam to the visual link between us" I said.
"Then you've matched your data transmission to the phase amplitude of our com signal?" He said.
"Exactly," I said.
"Apparently our intelligence operatives are not doing their job," He said. "You clearly have technology that we are unaware of. This would be an incredible breakthrough in subspace field mechanics,"
"If it's successful We'd like to try transmitting a test cylinder to you," Chakotay said.
"A test cylinder of what sort?" He said.
"It is a standard starfleet mechanism with a varietal molecular matrix," Tuvok said. "It simulates most known organic and no organic compounds, It is not classified technology,"
"I am Aware of this mechanism. we use a similar device, I will allow the transport," He said.
"Bridge to Transporter room 1," I said.
"Torres here, We're all set, Captain," Torres said. "The lock is active ad we're focused on the Romulans' Transporter coordinates,"
"All right then, Let's give it a try," I said.
"Energize," Chakotay said.
"The cylinder has dematerialized captain," Torres said.
"Can you get it back?" I said.
"The pattern buffer is having trouble accepting the matter stream," Torres said.
"I'll increase power to the phase transmission coils," Kim said.
"Ramp the coils to 37 megajoules," Torres said.
"37 Megajoules," Kim said.
"Congratulations, captain," He said. "You've done it, Very impressive,"
"We should run a series of these tests just to make sure," I said. "But we have to act quickly before the probe is crushed,"
"I understand," He said.
"Eventually we'll have to try transporting a person," I said. "One of our crew will beam to your ship,If you'll allow it,"
"I'm afraid. I can't permit that, Captain," He said. "My government would never allow starfleet personnel on this ship, I wouldn't want my logs to show that activity,"
"That what would you suggest?" Tuvok said.
"I'll volunteer to Transport to your ship and back again," he said.
"But Captain, If we can't transport to your ship, how are we to get back?" I said.
"If the procedure is successful I'll arrange for a troop ship to join me," He said."That would easily accommodate your crew,"
"Very well," I said. "We'll be in touch,"
XXX
We were on our way down for the procedure.
"Kim and Torres have made more than 20 Transports of the test cylinder," Chakotay said. "Even though she's still having trouble with that phase variance, every one of them has been successful,"
"Let's hope it goes as well with the Romulan," I said.
"Captain. I must insist I stay with him at all times," Tuvok said. "While he's onboard,"
"Agreed," I said.
"We're locked on to him, Whenever you're ready, Captain," Torres said.
"Well. let's try it," I said. "Energize,"
"What's the problem?" I said.
"It's the phase Variance in the Radiation stream," Torres said. "I'm balancing it manually,"
"Welcome to the Delta Quadrant, Captain," I said. "My first officer, Commander Chakotay, Lt. Tuvok Head of security, Chief Engineer Torres and Operations officer Kim,"
"My congratulations on your remarkable accomplishment," He said. "This is an astonishing Breakthrough,"
"For a while there I didn't think you were going to make it, there was a strangle phase variance in the Radiation stream, It almost kept us from pulling you through," Torres said.
"Tuvok. You may begin evacuation procedures," I said.
"I suggest we delay that for the moment, Captain," Tuvok said. "I'm afraid I found the reason for the unusual phase variance,"
"What is it?" I said.
"Captain what year is it?" Tuvok said.
"What year?" He said.
"If you please," Tuvok said.
"By your calendar the year is 2351," He said.
"But this is 2371," Chakotay said.
"Exactly. Our Romulan visitor is a person out of time," Tuvok said. "He's showing clear evidence of temporal displacement. I would surmise that the wormhole is a rift, not just in space. But in Time,"
"Like," I said looking at him who nodded.
"The unusual phase variance we detected was actually an indication of a temporal shift, We have transported him from 20 years in the past to our present," Tuvok said.
Then we got to the conference room.
"I've gone over and over the Transporter logs,," Torres said. "There is no question that if we try to transport ourselves through that wormhole we'll end up in the past,"
"Then let's do it," Kim said. "It's better than spending the next 70 years trying to get back,"
"No, We aren't," I said.
"Captain," Kim said.
"No, we will be making a paradox," I said. "I'm sorry, Harry, I know you're disappointed, All of us are. But we can't go back, It would pollute the timeline to such an extent that the consequences would be unimaginable. I'm afraid we'll have to send you back alone and ask that you not reveal anything that has happened her,"
"I can assure you, Captain. That I wouldn't do anything that might contaminate the future and perhaps harm the Romulan Empire," He said. "But in 20 years I could alert Starfleet not to launch the mission which sent you here,"
"I'm afraid that's not possible either, We've already had a huge impact on this Quadrant," Chakotay said. "People and events here would be drastically affected,"
"Looks like we're left with our original request," I said. "In 20 years would you relay our personal messages to starfleet?"
"Of Course, At the proper time, I will transmit them," He said. "If you should find a way back within my lifetime, I'd be an old man But I would welcome a message from you. I am Telek R'mor of the Romulan Astrophysical academy,"
"I promise you'll hear from us, Because we will get back," I said.
Then we were back in the transporter room where I had already had my messages ready. One for Phoebe and Deanna.
"There are our messages, " Tuvok said.
"I wish you luck on your journey," R'mor said.
"And I thank you for your help," I said. "Energize,"
Then R'mor was back in his ship.
"Transport complete, Captain," Torres said. "He made it,"
"I'll tell the crew, They can have the satisfaction of knowing that their messages have reached their families," I said.
"Captain," Tuvok said. "I didn't want to mention this until after our guest had left, I checked the Computer Data banks for a Romulan scientist named Telek R'mor,"
"Let me guess, He dead before," I said.
"Correct Dr. R'mor died in 2367," Tuvok said.
"4 years," I said.
"That is correct," Tuvok said.
"Maybe he left a will," Torres said. "Telling someone else to transmit the messages or he could have given our computer chip to the Romulan government,"
"Or he had given it to someone in his family to transmit," I said. "Then left's move on, We've got a long way to go,"
Then we resumed course for home at impulse.
That's all for this chapter.
More to follow.
Stay tuned and safe.
Love Y'all.
PEACE!
