Reply #7: Eye of the Needle [View All]

[salvorhardin]

The crew discovers a wormhole leading back to the Alpha Quadrant but it is too small for the ship to fit through. There's a Romulan science ship at the other end with only one Romulan on it. They discover they can use the transporter through it and beam him over, only to discover that his end of the wormhole is years in their past. Janeway decides they can't go back before they left because of possible damage to the timeline, but the Romulan agrees to send a message to Starfleet just before Voyager is scheduled to depart on the mission that traps them in the Gamma Quadrant warning Starfleet not to launch Voyager. Romulan goes back and then the crew looks up in their history data banks that he died months before he could deliver the message.

On edit: Odd coincidence. This is post #7 in this thread and Eye of the Needle was Episode 7.
