DS9 "O som da sua voz":
Então, o navio partiu oito anos atrás, eles estavam fazendo uma exploração de longo alcance, Lisa não sabe nada sobre a guerra do Dominion, e ela só está no planeta há dois dias.LISA [OC]: My name's Lisa Cusak. Until a couple of days ago, I was the commanding officer of the Olympia.
SISKO: The Olympia.
LISA [OC]: We left the Federation over eight years ago for a long range exploration of the Beta Quadrant.
SISKO: What happened to your ship, Captain?
LISA [OC]: We were finally heading home, if you can believe that, then we picked up some strange energy readings in a nearby star system, and I decided to stop and investigate. We found an energy barrier around the fourth planet that was unlike anything we'd ever seen, and when we probed it with our scanners it triggered a quantum reaction. There was an enormous surge of metrion radiation that disabled our engines. The next thing I knew, we were spiraling in toward the surface. I gave the order to abandon ship and the last thing I remember is a console exploding in my face. I woke up in an escape pod on the surface and I've spent the last day and a half sitting in this cave trying to raise someone on subspace.
BASHIR: Captain, Doctor Bashir, Chief Medical Officer. Your message said that you were on a L class planet. Are you sure?
LISA [OC]: Positive. And to answer your next question, yes, I've been giving myself fifteen cc's of triox every four hours to compensate for the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Just like it says in my medical tricorder.
BASHIR: How much triox do you have left?
LISA [OC]: One hundred and fifty millilitres.
BASHIR: Will you to decrease the dosage, Captain, to eight cc's every six hours. We need to stretch your supply as long as possible.
KASIDY: What happens when she runs out of the drug?
LISA [OC]: That's a good question, Doctor. What happens then?
BASHIR: You will begin to experience the effects of hypoxia. But before that happens, the triox compound will have strengthened your cardiopulmonary system, allowing you to better withstand the effects.
LISA [OC]: Better withstand the effects. In other words, I'm going to be gasping for air and turning different shades of blue by the time you get here.
BASHIR: Yes, I'm afraid so.
LISA [OC]: Thanks for brightening my day.
KASIDY: Is there anything we can do?
LISA [OC]: There is, actually. I can't sleep. I think the injections are keeping me awake and I haven't had anyone to talk to for two days.
SISKO: We'll be able to help you with that, Captain. I'll have one of my officers stay on the comm. line with you at all times.
Aprendemos mais tarde que a equipe está se comunicando com ela no passado, o que é uma questão totalmente diferente.
O navio avançou a tempo quando atingiu a radiação do metreon na atmosfera? Essa é a explicação que Lisa estava dando? Estou confuso sobre o cronograma de como tudo isso aconteceu.
Dr. Bashir confirmou que ela havia morrido 3 anos e dois meses antes deles chegarem ao planeta no setor da Rutácia. Então, ela teria deixado em sua missão 8 anos mais 3 anos atrás, fazendo com que 2363 (o episódio ocorre em 2374).
Para colocar isso em perspectiva, 2363 é um ano antes da primeira temporada de Star Trek: The Next Generation
Não é explicitamente claro no episódio , mas parece não haver razão especial para assumir que o USS Olympia viajou no tempo.
Quando a tripulação viaja pela mesma barreira, não há uma mudança de horário óbvia e O'Brien afirma que a radiação na barreira está se movimentando com o sinal do subespaço
O'BRIEN: It must have something to do with the energy barrier. When her subspace radio signal passed through the metrion radiation in the barrier, the signal was somehow... time-shifted into the future.
Não há dúvida de que quando a tripulação voltar para casa, eles informarão que o navio foi perdido há três anos.
