| B: |
The entire surface of the planet was just seared.
|
| Ja: |
There was a chain reaction in subspace. Very likely it could(?)nighted(?)
by the detonation of one or more polaric ion devices.
|
| Pa: |
That's what happened. But people here never had a chance.
|
| B: |
They are gone, vaporized. Everything organic has basically been
evaporated.
|
| Ja: |
This has(?) happened quickly. Polaric detonation would have swept this
city in seconds.
|
| Tu: |
It would be called ChalTak(?) Four incidence.
|
| B: |
ChalTak Four?
|
| Tu: |
A Romulan research colony was nearly destroyed during testing one of
these devices. It led a polaric test bomb treaty in 2268.
|
| B: |
So, we are looking at the end of a war.
|
| Pa: |
I wonder who won.
|
| Ja: |
I'm not so sure there was a war. Look at these readings, B'Elanna.
|
| B: |
Polaric ion concentration's so high. I can't get an accurate reading.
|
| Ja: |
I say these conduits were the source of the explosion, wouldn't you?
|
| B: |
A civilization powered by a polaric ion energy?
|
| Ja: |
That's what looks like. A time moment(bomb?) meets every street, running
into every home.
|
| Ne: |
What do you mean you saw it? How could you see it?
|
| Ke: |
I don't know.
|
| Ne: |
What did you see?
|
| Ke: |
I saw them burning... their bodies... and this is where they stood...
|
| Ne: |
You felt the shock wave in your sleep. It's just imagination,
strange coincidence.
|
| Ke: |
I don't think so.
|
| Ne: |
What else could it be?
|
| Ke: |
It was... it was almost telepathic.
|
| Ne: |
Telepathy is a message, words, voice. But what you're describing
were... it's... sounds like the vision's breaking(?) farthest other's.
|
| Ke: |
Who?
|
| Ne: |
A tribe would've paranormal abilities. They can work into an empty world.
|
| Ke: |
Neelex, my ancestors were said to have unusual mental abilities.
|
| Ne: |
No one believes that stories.
|
| Ke: |
I always have.
|
| Pa: |
Look. This may be some kind of time piece stopped at the moment of
explosion. What was that?
|
| Ja: |
What?
|
| Pa: |
Can you hear that?
|
| Tu: |
Hear what, Lieutenant?
|
| Pa: |
Kids playing. They were close to me is(?)... I don't understand.
I was here... in the square. But there were people.
|
| Ja: |
You never left here, Tom.
|
| Pa: |
But I saw them. Lots of people, children playing, and the sun was
shining. There was no evidence of the explosion. Everyone was alive and happy.
|
| Ja: |
You were standing here the whole time.
|
| B: |
Your central nerve system's showing a temporal flux. But it's rapidly
returning to normal.
|
| Tu: |
The chain reaction will shuttle subspace, Captain.
|
| Ja: |
I want everyone to stand exactly where they are. If Tuvok's right,
there may be subspace fractures floating like icebergs across the
planet surface. Away team to Voyager.
|
| Ch: |
Go ahead.
|
| Ja: |
Four to beam up.
