コジンスキーは依然として、自分の力で三角座までやってきた、と勘違いしているようです。
ワープスピードに変わるべく、コジンスキー・スケール、なんてのを考えたりして(^^;
登場人物

| Traveler: | トラベラー（別の時代から来たのかも） |
| Argyle: | チーフ・エンジニア |
| K: | I've always suspected that this rate of speed was possible, of course, but at this level, huhum..no, never. We're going to need new definitions, new parameters. |
| A: | Perhaps you could call it the Kosinski scale. |
| K: | Why not? Yes, of course. Since I'm the one who's made so-called warp barrier meaningless. And Captain! This must be a special thrill for you. |
| P: | Thrill? |
| K: | Humhum. As an explorer. In three centuries of space travel we've charted just 11% of our galaxy. And then we accomplish this. |
| P: | Yes, but isn't the real point. Can you do it again? Can you get us home? |
| K: | Well, of course, I can. I'll just do what I did before. Coming, Riker. |
| P: | Commander Riker will join you in a moment. Comment is invited. Counselor? |
| De: | He is convinced he is right. I've no doubt of that. |
| Wo: | Captain, can you allow a man who's made one mistake back into a position where he can make another? |
| Ge: | Captain. What are our options really? I mean if this guy can't get us back, who will? |
| Da: | Captain. we're here, Why not avail ourselves of this oppotunity for study? There's a giant protostar here in the process of forming. No other vessel has been out this far. |
| P: | Spoken like a true Starfleet graduate. It is tempting, eh Number One? |
| R: | Aye, sir, it is. But as they say, sir, you're the captain. |
| P: | I know that if Kosinski can get us home, Starfleet can use his tecnique to bring back a pure science vessel. Do even more. Number One, tell Kosinski to prepare to get us out of here. |
| R: | Aye, sir. |
| K: | Do you realize how many great advancements of mankind have been tied to speed? This is a moment in history. Right here, right now. And your names will be forever linked to mine. |
| We: | Excuse me, Commader Riker? I don't think he did this. I think... |
| R: | Not now, Wes. |
| P: | Standing by, Number One. |
| We: | But sir? When all this happened I was watching his asistant... |
| R: | I'm sure this is fascinating, Wesley. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it but not right now. |
| R: | Aye, sir. |
| K: | Come on. |
| We: | He is too tired. Why don't you do it by yourself? |
| K: | Yes, why not? |
| Tr: | No. I will help. |
| K: | As you wish. |
| Ge: | I've laid in the reciprocal course back, Captain. |
| K: | Tell the captain I'm ready, First Officer. |
| R: | We are ready for you to engage, Captain. |
| P: | As before, begin it at warp one point five. |
| Ge: | Warp one point five, sir. |
