Stardate not given: 27 years into the future, Admiral Janeway recalls Voyager's return from the Delta Quadrant ten years ago and the many sacrifices the crew had to make. She decides to change history. Equipped with a chronodeflector stolen from the Klingons, her shuttle emerges from a temporal rift just in front of USS Voyager in the Delta Quadrant 27 years ago. Admiral Janeway persuades Captain Janeway to enter a nebula the ship passed by a few days ago, which would offer a way home. Inside the nebula, however, the ship is attacked by Borg vessels. Voyager withstands thanks to the Borg-proof hull armor of the future. When Captain Janeway realizes that the way home is a Borg transwarp hub, she decides to refrain from the journey home and devises a plan to destroy the Borg's transwarp network instead. Admiral Janeway, however, agrees to sacrifice herself by allowing herself to be assimilated by the Borg Queen, thereby spreading a virus through the Collective, while Voyager escapes to the Alpha Quadrant through a transwarp channel ahead of the shockwave.
