Morgan Bateson of the Federation starship Bozeman. 708 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,553 Can we render assistance? 709 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,674 I'm Capt. Jean—Luc Picard of the Federation starship Enterprise. 710 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,276 We were just going to ask you the same thing. 711 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,671 Captain Picard, your vessel is not familiar to us. 712 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,273 Captain, have you any idea what has just happened? 713 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,272 Our sensors detected a temporal distortion. 714 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,556 Then your ship appeared. We nearly hit you. 715 00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:42,630 The Enterprise has been caught up in a temporal causality loop. 716 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,758 And I suspect that something similar may have happened to you. 717 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,112 You must be mistaken, we left starbase only three weeks ago. 718 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,752 Captain, 719 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,038 do you know what year this is? 720 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,915 Of course, I do. It's 2278. 721 00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:07,473 Perhaps you should beam aboard our ship. 722 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,433 There's something we need to discuss.
