SPOILERS

Serious Season 7 spoilers, especially “Drive,” “Lineage,” “Imperfection,” and “Prophecy.” (Plus spoilers for “Someone to Watch over Me,” “Resolutions,” “Extreme Risk,” and lots of other pre-season 7 episodes.)

SUMMARY

After nearly exhausting their resources, the crew is forced to decide whether or not to make a risky attempt to reach home. Starts approximately five months after “Lineage.”

AUTHORS NOTE

This story was started in the long holiday dry-spell between “Flesh and Blood” and “Shattered” as we waited for the new season seven episodes to continue. It’s my take on how the series might have ended, and reflects canon up through “Human Error,” then the powers that be and I part ways. It’s L-O-N-G, but what could I do? I was possessed.

DISCLAIMER

You would think the people who work for Paramount invented Star Trek! Ooops. They did. They own all things Voyager, including some of my favorite characters. I’m just dressing them up and playing “Barbies” with them. Michael Taylor wrote “Drive,” which I quote occasionally throughout this opus; Voyager fans all know this and understand that I’m not taking credit for his work or that of any of the professional writing staff of the show. I own this story, however, and would like to be credited for it wherever it appears.
