2032: Lieutenant John Kelly looks out of his Ares module orbiting Mars and.... wait, Astronauts on Mars in the 21st century, that can’t be right. A large orange light appears.
Meanwhile 300 years later there’s the same spatial anomaly outside Voyager (#521 according to Seven). What’re the odds? Janeway complains that it better be worth it at 2am. Do anomalies normally keep to a strict 9 to 5 schedule? The crew soon discover this is the same anomaly that took Kelly and set about trying to get him back. Chakotay leads the mission and brings Seven along so she can become more human every day. They fly the Delta Flyer into the anomaly but come into difficulties and Janeway orders them back but Chakotay disobeys the order damaging the engines. Seven is outraged with him but manages to go across to the Ares wearing one of the Evosuits (they’re really getting their moneys worth with the First Contact suits) to use the equipment there. There she’s able to fix the Flyer and listens to Kelly’s log entries learning something about humanity this week. Once they’re back on Voyager they hold a small ceremony and launch Kelly’s remains into space.
What’s the deal in general on Star Trek with things being dark during Red Alerts? Surely Red Alerts are the one time when you want to be able to see things.
I’ll save the last line for Janeway “Space, literally it means nothing”. Well quite.
