Time And Again (part 6)

Kathryn was working her way closer, hiding behind blocks that linked tubes together. She had a local weapon ready.

„I need the injector.", Terla stated.

„Just hand that bag to me.", Kathryn said, coming out of hiding.

„Four one by three one zero. Two percent drift, range six meters, mark.", Tuvok said.

„I have it. Initiating generator.", Harry said.

„Scanning for the subspace beacon. It doesn't look like they were here.", B'Elanna said.

„It is highly unlikely that Captain Janeway would come here to-", Tuvok started but was interrupted by Kes.

„No, the Captain did come. She was here. This is where she died.", she stated.

„Everybody on this planet has less than three minutes to live if you go through with this, Makull. Don't!", Kathryn said.

„What exactly do you think we are planning to do here?", Makull asked.

„I assume you're going to sabotage the plant, probably by detonating some kind of device.", Kathryn said.

„We're not stupid enough to blow up anything here.", Makull stated.

„That may be true, but something will go wrong.", Kathryn said.

„Nothing is going to go wrong unless you fire that weapon near a polaric conduit. For everyone's safety, I suggest you put it down.", Makull said.

„Give me the bag.", Kathryn retorted.

Makull clutched it to his chest.

„All right then, we'll wait.", Kathryn said.

„If Kes is right, the Captain was here at the moment the explosion occurred. Is there anyway to break through subspace a few minutes before the detonation?", Chakotay asked.

„If the widest point of the fracture represents the time of the explosion, couldn't we open a hole just before the widest point?", Harry asked.

„There's no way we could pin-point the exact time we'd be penetrating but we could make an educated guess.", B'Elanna answered both of their questions.

„I feel it is my duty to point out there is absolutely no logical reason to believe Kes is correct. However, since I have no alternative course of action to recommend at this time, I suggest we proceed.", Tuvok said.

„Commander?", B'Elanna asked.

„What time is it?", Kathryn wanted to know.

„Four oh one rotations plus twenty one.", Terla answered.

„We'll just wait until twenty three.", Kathryn said.

„Twenty three? What's the importance of twenty three? Oh, this is all about the alleged time of our self-annihilation. All right, let's just see if we can all get through the next-", Makull started but he was interrupted by the wormhole that started opening behind Kathryn.

„What's going on?", Terla asked.

„They're cutting through subspace.", Kathryn said.

„My god, it's going to intersect with the conduit wall!", Makull exclaimed.
