Alternative warp, remastered — Lazarus battles anti-Lazarus in the alternative warp.

Alternative warp was a term used by anti-Lazarus to describe the negative magnetic corridor which acted as a "safety valve" between the positive universe and the parallel universe he was from, the minus universe. (TOS: "The Alternative Factor")

History

At some unknown point in the distant past, Lazarus's people in the minus universe discovered a way to traverse the alternative warp and explore the positive universe. When the Lazarus of the positive universe learned of his counterpart's existence, he went mad, unable to bear the thought of it. This Lazarus attempted to destroy his counterpart, pursuing him through time in his ship, eventually arriving in the year 2267.

At that point, their constant transits through the alternative warp caused a cosmic "winking-out" effect centered on the surface of a planet which the USS Enterprise was investigating. Captain Kirk learned that, if the two versions of Lazarus were ever to meet, they would annihilate each other as matter and antimatter do, causing a complete destruction of both universes. Eventually, with the assistance of the Lazarus from the minus universe, Kirk was successful in trapping both of them in the alternative warp and destroying Lazarus's ship, thereby trapping them inside for eternity. (TOS: "The Alternative Factor")

-The '''negative magnetic corridor''' connects the universe to a similar, parallel universe composed of [[antimatter]]. It acts as a kind of safety valve, preventing the two universes from coming into conjunction, an event that would destroy both universes.
+==History==
-Thousands of years ago, inhabitants of a now unnamed world in the antimatter universe discovered a mechanical means of slipping through the corridor into the matter universe.  One native, [[Anti-Lazarus]], made this trip.  His counterpart from the [[matter]] universe, also named [[Lazarus]], discovered his existence.  Unable to tolerate the idea of a duplicate, he went insane, pursuing Anti-Lazarus through space and time, eventually arriving in [[2267]].  In that year, their transits through the corridor caused a cosmic "winking" effect that engendered much alarm throughout the [[Federation]].

-[[Captain]] [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]] of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}} was assigned to investigate.  After speaking with both versions of Lazarus, he discovered the truth.  He forced Lazarus into the corridor, where Anti-Lazarus waited.  Anti-Lazarus held Lazarus in the corridor while Kirk destroyed his [[Lazarus' ship|ship]], which also destroyed Anti-Lazarus' ship and sealed the corridor, leaving both men trapped within for the rest of eternity.
