-The time-lost officers make small talk with Shan'taar as they watch [[trek:characters:owen|Owen Parsons]] maneuver through the Andorian nebula. Shan'taar offers to let [[trek:solstice:pcs:|Daphne]] pilot //Solstice// into Sanctuary, which thrills her, but he warns her that the conn is now a merging of Starfleet and Dai'Loq technologies. They see Sanctuary as the //Solstice// draws closer; the Dai'Loq base resembles a giant, glittering ochre golf ball. It's not until the station continues to grow on the main screen that they realize just how large Sanctuary is, and Shan'taar admits the base is the size of a small moon. The inside is mostly empty; all functions revolve around the inner core.+The time-lost officers make small talk with Shan'taar as they watch [[trek:characters:owen|Owen Parsons]] maneuver through the Andorian nebula.

-Shan'taar reveals that [[trek:characters:jen|Captain Kras]] led the shattered fleet here in 2382; her Dai'Loq nanites have proven invaluable to their survival and adaptation of Dai'Loq technologies. He also admits Sanctuary is semi-mobile, but he cannot provide schematics to [[trek:solstice:pcs:|Jace]] when he asks; the base's inner computers refuse anyone but Jen, and the base is almost pure kelbonite. Daphne takes the helm and takes a few seconds to acclimate to the Dai'Loq technology; the hybridization is pretty intensive, and her panel is now swirls and circles, not the orderly rows she's used to. Despite that, she manages to maneuver the //Solstice// into one of the divots, which irises open to admit them. Once inside she follows a lighted course to the core.+Shan'taar reveals that [[trek:characters:jen|Captain Kras]] led the shattered fleet here in 2382; her Dai'Loq nanites have proven invaluable to their survival and adaptation of Dai'Loq technologies.

 The inner walls of Sanctuary are unpowered and unused, but the total surface area is immense. As they dock, they see two //Sovereign//-class vessels and one //Akira//-class; both classes have not yet appeared in 2371 and their respective prototypes won't be done until mid-2372. One //Intrepid//-class is also docked, and Shan'taar admits //Voyager// is on her way and will be here shortly. //Solstice// docks as Shan'taar reveals //Voyager// survived a trip into the Delta quadrant, home of the Borg Collective, and the Council estimates upwards of twelve percent of the Delta quadrant has been assimilated. The inner walls of Sanctuary are unpowered and unused, but the total surface area is immense.

 There are a few jokes, and [[trek:characters:rebecca|Rebecca]] mutters, "Not all of you have to make it back to 2371." Shan'taar smirks and says they can disembark and get something to eat; the Dai'Loq have some sort of animal here that was raised as food. Shan'taar admits they don't taste all that great, and according to the captain they look like a tribble with an Oompa-Loompa shoved up its ass. Mel and the others look at the Andorian, but Shan'taar shrugs and says he has no idea what an Oompa-Loompa is either. Jace argues that tribbles are extinct, but Shan'taar makes an oblique reference to the return of the tribbles in 2373. There are a few jokes, and [[trek:characters:rebecca|Rebecca]] mutters, "Not all of you have to make it back to 2371."

-Shan'taar asks them if they want to go swimming and reveals there is a large pool in the core that's used as a recreation facility. Daphne makes a crude joke about cabana boys, but the Andorian frowns and mutters they did find some weird uniforms when they took Sanctuary, so the pool may have been a communal Dai'Loq sex-pit at one point. As the crew disembarks, Jace asks Sola about the resources the Starfleet remnant has, in the hopes of "trimming and slimming" antimatter from different sources. Sola replies that Sanctuary creates antimatter itself for their use. Shan'taar escorts them to the pool, which is actually a large lake of glowing water situated over a disused heat sink. The water temperature never gets above 23°C, so [[trek:solstice:pcs:|Alberic]] and Rebecca go for a swim. Jace sits down with his numbers again, while Daphne and Mel head out to see //Voyager// once she arrives. None of the other Starfleet crew present gives them a second glance, despite their older uniforms.+Shan'taar asks them if they want to go swimming and reveals there is a large pool in the core that's used as a recreation facility.

Line 35: Line 41:
 Mel and Daphne stare at the battered //Voyager// next to //Solstice//; both vessels are clearly damaged, but //Voyager// is the worst of the entire fleet -- hull plates are missing and at least one deck is totally decompressed and open to space. They are greeted by a teenaged girl; she looks human but has nubby spines running down her forehead. The teenager introduces herself as [[trek:characters:naomi|Naomi Wildman]], and says she was born on //Voyager// while the ship was in the Delta quadrant. Mel and Daphne pump Naomi for information about //Voyager's// excursion into the Delta quadrant and the new -- to them -- //Intrepid//-class vessel. Mel and Daphne stare at the battered //Voyager// next to //Solstice//; both vessels are clearly damaged, but //Voyager// is the worst of the entire fleet -- hull plates are missing and at least one deck is totally decompressed and open to space.

-Naomi reveals much, including the fact that the bio-neural gel packs didn't work out as well as expected, and the [[trek:characters:emh|Emergency Medical Hologram]] became the ship's chief medical officer and eventually outgrew his programming and was independent of the holographic emitters in sickbay. The extensive damage to //Voyager// occurred because she was the only ship to survive the defense fleet resisting the initial Borg onslaught, and they don't have the resources to fully repair her. Naomi sadly tells them that the EMH was on Jupiter Station when the Borg assimilated the Sol system and his backup program is still stored on //Voyager// but they lack the resources to repair the holo-emitters and bring him back. Captain [[trek:characters:chakotay|Chakotay]] was killed in the fight with the Borg and [[trek:characters:paris|Tom Paris]] took over. Naomi says she became the captain's assistant in the Delta quadrant, and they survived the Borg due to a combination of guile, luck, and Captain [[trek:characters:janeway|Janeway]]'s refusal to give up. Mel muses that she needs a flunky herself.+Naomi reveals much, including the fact that the bio-neural gel packs didn't work out as well as expected, and the [[trek:characters:doctor|Emergency Medical Hologram]] became the ship's chief medical officer and eventually outgrew his programming and was independent of the holographic emitters in sickbay.

Line 90: Line 96:
  
 Saval asks what the worst thing was about the future they experienced, and Mel replies the pervasive defeatism. Mel brings up the need for a second counselor, now that Armina is tainted due to the actions of her future-self. Saval argues that Armina cannot be held responsible for her future-self's actions but concedes the need for a second counselor regardless. She promises to begin that process immediately, and Mel goes off-duty to rest. Saval asks what the worst thing was about the future they experienced, and Mel replies the pervasive defeatism.
