| B: |
Well. This is the problem.
|
| Ja: |
One of them is the temporal reflection. Which one. I'm
getting identical readings from both ships.
|
| B: |
Captain. The rupture is starting to collapse again. If Voyager doesn't
get through within minutes, 5 minutes, they never get out.
|
| Ja: |
That means we have one chance to pick the correct ship.
|
| B: |
Simple choice. Port or starboard.
|
| Ja: |
Starboard.
|
| B: |
Port. The port ship is more likely to be the real one. It's close
to the rupture. That means... That means they're holding the position
as close as they can to the rupture, waiting for us to dock before
they head out.
|
| Ja: |
No. It may be close to the rupture. But it's facing the wrong direction.
The starboard ship's facing away from us. That means they are trying
to give us easy access to the shuttle bay.
|
| B: |
There has to be some way to tell them apart besides which direction
they're facing.
|
| Ja: |
The starboard ship's thrusters are stand-by. They're holding the position.
But the port ship is moving toward the rupture.
|
| B: |
Then, I was right. It's the port ship. They are heading out.
|
| Ja: |
Don't you see Voyager did move toward the rupture twenty minutes ago when
we first discovered it? That's why the port ship is moving toward it now.
It's the time delay reflection of what we did before. The starboard ship
is the real one. They are waiting for us.
|
| B: |
If you were wrong, we're gonna have a long time to debate it.
