 The other-Jen and the lupine suddenly realize they're not on their own ship and eye the rest of the crew with a mixture of suspicion and strange familiarity. The lupine immediately identifies Jessa as the counselor and Phillip as the pilot; he informs Phillip, "Thanks! Carving your initials into subspace allowed us to break through!" Phillip slides down his chair a fraction while Mel demands, "How did you get here?" K'tral realizes that the lupine alien is psionic while he asks, "What ship is this, who are you, and what is the stardate?" The other-Jen and the lupine suddenly realize they're not on their own ship and eye the rest of the crew with a mixture of suspicion and strange familiarity.

-Mel immediately identifies herself and her ship; she notes that other-Jen and the lupine twitch very slightly. The lupine provides their stardate which translates to September 2380 versus the current June of 2372. The lupine introduces himself as [[trek:characters:heyyouth|Hey'yooth]] and other-Jen as Counselor Kras, and then takes a deep sniff. He suddenly brightens and informs other-Jen, "Great news! This Phillip is smarter!" Other-Jen eyes Hey'yooth and replies, "Smarter?" At flight control Phillip protests but Hey'yooth replies with a firm nod, "Yep. I can smell it!" Mel demands, "You can smell intelligence?" Hey'yooth deflates slightly and explains, "No, but I can smell consequences of recent actions." Other-Jen snickers and Mel quickly figures it out.+Mel immediately identifies herself and her ship; she notes that other-Jen and the lupine twitch very slightly.

 Mel guesses, "[[trek:solstice:pcs:z_alberic|Alberic Selense]]?" Shay'taal's expression sours, and Mel explains the story of her Alberic. Putting the pieces together Shay'taal realizes, //"That's the turning point. The point where the two timelines split off. Jen, it was Jen. In your timeline you got her safely. In mine the// Solstice //was responding to some sort of temporal incursion or breach when she vanished."// They discuss the ramifications for a few moments and then Shay'taal looks a little cagey as he asks, //"By the way, how's Earth?"// Mel guesses, "[[trek:solstice:pcs:z_alberic|Alberic Selense]]?"

-Mel explains the current situation and her suspicions; Shay'taal remarks, //"I apologize, Captain, I don't want to withhold information from you. But the Temporal Prime Directive is definitely a factor here."// Mel makes it clear that she agrees, and Shay'taal informs her, //"When all of this shakes out, keep an eye on a certain Selense."// Mel snorts, "I wouldn't worry about him, he's in a Starfleet Intelligence box." Shay'taal shakes his head and replies, //"Not Alberic. The other one."// Mel then realizes that Shay'taal is referring to **Admiral [[trek:characters:victor|Victor Selense]]**, and Shay'taal admits, //"The loss of his nephew drove the admiral to make some bad choices."// Mel admits, "Here, Alberic's disgrace has definitely dinged the admiral's reputation. Unfortunately, I think that makes him more dangerous."

 Commander Hall asks, "Orders, captain?" Merek'miir howls, "What the fuck!" Hall jokes, "Believe it or not, Lieutenant, this was a most productive day!" The Wabai lieutenant screams in inarticulate rage, and Mel offers, "Do you want to leave the bridge?" This is a lot to process." Merek'miir insists, "No! I'm here to navigate, so I must navigate until my shift is over! What is our destination, captain?" Mel muses, "So our choices are pirates or a lost world." Phillip points out, "There's also the second system!" Mel retorts, "Oh yes, the system where no one has ever returned from. Let's not go there. I don't really want to deal with pirates right off the bat, so set course to the third planet and engage when ready." Commander Hall asks, "Orders, captain?" Merek'miir howls, "What the fuck!"

-Cliff is launched into the Rupture zone and immediately splits into 17 copies of itself, as it has moved into a subspace rupture and scattered. Phillip guides the //Varich// into the Rupture Zone, showing off with some fancy flying. Power fluctuations and life form signals begin to indicate that several components and crew members are duplicated - it seems the /Varich-A// are nearly occupying the same space in different time streams. Communication is possible between the two ships. +Cliff is launched into the Rupture zone and immediately splits into 17 copies of itself, as it has moved into a subspace rupture and scattered.

 An older version of Jen Kras and what appears to be 9 foot tall black werewolf suddenly emerge from the turbolift. The wolf introduces himself as Hey'yooth and reveals himself to be psionic, as he immediately picks up Jessa's and K'tral's desires to scratch his ears and he cheerfully complies. The crew eventually understands this Jen is from another point in her own timeline if she had never been picked up by the Solstice. Mel finds out from Captain Shay'taal that in their timeline the Solstice had been lost with all hands. Without them the Krenim succeeded in wiping out the Tizit Consortium, allowing the Wabai Unity to expand.  An older version of Jen Kras and what appears to be 9 foot tall black werewolf suddenly emerge from the turbolift.

-Alexandria after having a minor breakdown, reveals to Other Jen that they have met before in the distant past, and gives her a chip. Hey'yooth and Ssleestak, under K'tral's supervision, rewires the //Varich//'s warp core to allow the two ships to separate back to their own timelines and the Varich-A to escape the Rupture Zone. While tinkering with the warp core, Hey'yooth also passes on the specs for a kinetic carpet and programs the core to play Rush while executing his changes. He and Jen return to the Varich-A via a subspace transporter he rigged up on the fly, and he and Ssleestak trigger the command button, successfully separating the two timelines to Tom Sawyer. Merek'miir asks again, somewhat hysterically, if this is a normal day for the crew. Of their three possible destinations within the Rupture Zone, Mel opts to go to the third planet as it seems the safest.+Alexandria after having a minor breakdown, reveals to Other Jen that they have met before in the distant past, and gives her a chip.
