April 17th - 2376

Today was the day. We were entering the anomaly field and over the last couple of days I finally remembered why this anomaly seemed familiar, it was that one episode featuring the pre-warp Mars mission. I was kind of excited because in my off time I'd managed to fit a general purpose tricorder into the deck, making it an insanely functional device compared to normal equipment on the ship. I could now scan atmospheres, download information without specialized cables, act as a general purpose terminal, and while a bit bulkier than a padd It was easy enough to carry it on my back. I'd even managed to make it vacuum rated, which was a trick in of itself, but federation technology was pretty environmentally resistant.

As for the power source, it had a decent one, but I'd managed to include an electromagnetic coil on the back to wirelessly charge off my own bioelectric field. A fuse was inline with the power, of course to protect it from any sudden surges, B'Elanna's idea after I'd mentioned the issues with terminals exploding. Medical technology was such that burns could be treated easily, so not as much focus was put into fused relays to protect the consoles from overloading with the energies used. Of course, I called BS on that, since I saw no point in not just having redundancy and ways to bypass a failing circuit or drain it into large capacitor banks that could then safely be discharged back into the system. But then again, this was the 24th century, maybe they knew something I didn't. Still, I got the feeling she discussed it with the captain later and was likely why the engineering crew was working on the bridge terminals the last few days.

I'd been given the opportunity to go on the away mission with Chakotay, Tom, and Seven, as long as I wore the field dampener. My first away mission was exciting since I was getting to explore a spatial anomaly. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't hide my grin as I used my strength to load the equipment in one go, carrying several crates at once, leaving everyone else to focus on final checks in preparations for the anomaly. Then the ship shook, and I knew it was time to move.

The Captain ordered the ship to go on red alert as we were pulled out of warp, the anomaly being deflected away by seven's upgrades while the delta flyer flew out of the shuttle bay and made a close pass to get some sensor readings. The anomaly contained a lot of unusual elements and some familiar ones, including an aluminum alloy consistent with twenty-first century earth spacecraft. With the captain giving the go ahead to enter the anomaly and begin analyzing the interior.

"I don't see what the point is in exploring this anomaly, given its nature it's illogical to enter it."

"Seven, the exploration is the point. We can't predict what we'll find in there, but one must allow for the unexpected discovery." Chakotay was doing his best to keep seven on task given her reluctance, to me it looked more like the immaturity of being assimilated so young and regaining her humanity was showing through.

"He's right you know if I hadn't been exploring the wilderness I wouldn't have encountered the anomaly that sent me on my own journey and eventually brought me here. Sure I miss home, but I don't regret a moment of it, this has been the adventure of a lifetime." That brought pause to the pair before Tom indicated to us that we'd made it to the center of the anomaly. The three of us joining him up at the helm to get a better look at the outside. Eventually we found the spacecraft as well as readings from dozens of other ships, some familiar but most of unknown origins. Planning ahead, they began trying to tractor it out of the anomaly.

"_Ger to -Out of there -teroid about to imp-" Crap it's happening way too quickly, is this fate trying to stay on track again? I quickly got to the helm controls and pulled Chakotay away from the console, a massive burst of energy ripping through the console as a dark matter asteroid impacted with the anomaly, causing shock waves along its outer layers. While I absorbed the energy into myself, I felt my hands begin to burn from the burst of energy, then heal as what appeared to be tachyonic energy started tapping into the traces of the speed force still in my system. Time slowed down as I moved quickly and yanked off the panel to isolate the power conduits and channel the remaining energy into myself and keep the delta flyer from being damaged. Then before something else went wrong I found the shield emitters and tried to regulate a discharge into them and the surrounding environment, causing them to flare up a bright white before returning to their normal transparency with the rest of the spacecraft unharmed.

"What was that?!" I heard someone shout as I laid on the floor, exhausted and feeling drained. Likely from their perspective they saw me vanish and a lot of things happen at once followed by a bright flash and then me re-appearing on the floor.

"Tachyons, something I encountered in the last universe, no idea why that worked here, but ship is safe."

"Flyer, are you alright?!" I heard voyager over the communications link, Chakotay reporting everyone was okay, and they were going to continue tractoring the spacecraft out of the anomaly. The ride was smoother than on the way in, likely because I was completely drained and not emitting an electromagnetic field of any kind now. As the Elipse submerged back into subspace, the twenty-first century spacecraft was brought into the shuttle bay for study, the logs and any artifacts quickly recovered by various science and engineering teams.

After being checked over in sickbay by the doctor, I was instructed to report to the captain. Likely to explain why I was suddenly able to move at extreme velocity, So quickly, the ship's sensors reported that I was in multiple places at once for a few seconds. Now how to explain that I was able to tap into an extradimensional energy field using tachyons that gave me super speed, just not normally here since it didn't exist in this universe and my body was just using tachyons to generate the correct field for it briefly. I got the feeling I'd never be truly free to roam the ship since I hadn't mentioned this tidbit, but to be fair, I didn't think I would even be able to pull it off.
