![]() ![]() Their conversation becomes more intimate as the two kiss passionately. He spins her a story much like what happened to Voyager. He asks her to tell him she loves him, like they haven't seen each other for months. She is concerned when he is still confused about what is going on. She exits the bathroom in a towel and asks if he is okay. Returning "home", he finds Libby taking a shower. However, after Kim leaves, Cosimo watches him with a concerned yet knowing look – there appears to be more to the middle-aged man than meets the eye. Cosimo points him in the right direction, and tells him everything will be fine. He returns to his neighborhood, but forgets where his apartment was. Kim leaves his office more confused than ever. He finds that his friend Danny Byrd took what would have been his place as operations officer of Voyager. Kim, however, has no problem accessing the information since he is, or rather was, a member of Voyager's crew. He also tries to find information on the loss of Voyager, but that information is classified security level 3 or above. He asks the computer if any temporal anomalies have been reported in the last 48 hours, and finds that there were none. He learns that he is a starship design specialist and has had a short but so far distinguished career with them. Instead, Kim transferred to the Starfleet Engineering Corps. He finds that, in this timeline, his request for a posting aboard Voyager was denied. Kim looks up information on himself and Voyager. He sees his diploma from Starfleet Academy and the design schematics for the Yellowstone. Kim enters what is apparently his office in headquarters. Lasca leaves, disgusted with Kim for blowing the meeting. The admiral, however, is leaving on a three-week tour of the Cardassian border in a few days, so the presentation will have to wait until after then. He finally feigns illness and asks if the presentation can be continued at a later date. The admiral and his staff wait impatiently as Kim struggles to come up with an answer. Lasca confidently introduces Kim to answer that problem, while Kim sits in his chair with a panicked look on his face – he has no idea what Lasca is talking about. The admiral interrupts, asking how they will address the dilithium fracture problem, since tetryon plasma can disrupt subspace. It has tetryon-based plasma warp nacelles. Lasca starts to explain the new design of the Yellowstone-class runabout they have been working on. Lasca and Kim have been working on an experimental runabout, the Yellowstone, but since Kim has no idea what it is, he does not have the warp coil schematic he needed for their presentation to Admiral Strickler and company. Kim also learns that he and Libby are engaged, but before he can ask more questions, Lieutenant Lasca arrives and hurries him to the important meeting. Kim asks the man how long he has been coming to this shop, and Cosimo tells him that it's been nearly every day since he graduated from Starfleet Academy. From him, Kim learns that he is giving the presentation of the new ship design he – Harry Kim – has created. From a coffee shop named Cosimo's he gets what he has apparently been drinking for eight months, a Vulcan mocha, from Cosimo. Kim leaves his apartment and continues to look around the area with disbelief. She is not amused, telling him the memorial service was two months ago and he shouldn't joke about it, given that his friend Danny was aboard when it went missing in the Badlands. He responds to her like he would if he were facing an alien interrogation, and tells her he is from USS Voyager. He runs through the other possibilities: holodeck? hallucination? Libby, exasperated, tells him they both have long days ahead of them and they need to get to work. He realizes it's not the past, but the present, and that he isn't dreaming. Kim emerges from the bathroom dressed in his standard operations Starfleet uniform and is obviously still trying to process exactly what happened. She reminds him he has an important meeting and rushes a still stunned Kim to shower and get dressed. Where am I? Is this some sort of simulation?"Ī disbelieving Kim cannot believe that he is back on Earth, with Libby. " My name is Ensign Harry Kim of the Federation starship Voyager. Kim stares out the window of his apartment, which shows a panoramic cityscape, including the Transamerica Pyramid building and a Type 8 shuttle flying by, as he discovers that he is back on Earth, in the city of San Francisco. She calls out his name several times as her voice transitions into that of his girlfriend Libby, who wakes him gently. As Harry Kim wakes up, he can hear the distant voice of Captain Janeway, who says something about an emergency transport. ![]()
