En route towards the Alpha Quadrant, the USS Voyager suddenly encounters an all-too-familiar site. On screen, they witness the violent carnage of the Battle of Wolf 359. Lieutenant Commander Tuvok suggests it may be some elaborate deception, noting that the battle took place six years prior. Ensign Kim however, informs Captain Janeway that he detects high concentrations of Chronitons, suggesting time travel is involved.
As Voyager backs away, the images of the battle disappear, but in its place, the crew detects several Federation escape pods. Tuvok again recommends caution, but Ensign Kim detects life signs onboard, as well as a genuine Federation distress signal.
Further scans show the pods to be survivors of the USS Melbourne, the flagship of Admiral Hanson. Voyager is unable to communicate with the pods, so Captain Janeway orders the survivors to be beamed to sickbay. Tuvok informs her the transporter would be unsafe, due to the chroniton radiation, so in the tractor beam is used to tow the pods into the shuttlebay.
Janeway is still understandably apprehensive about the situation, so she orders security to meet her in the shuttlebay, including Lieutenant Josh Rand. The pod's hatch is opened, and members of various Federation species walk out led by Commander Athena Rand, a science division officer from the USS Saratoga, and the aunt of Josh Rand. Captain Janeway welcomes them onboard, curious as to how they got there. Her questions however, as the survivors want to know if the borg were ever defeated. Janeway explains how the Enterprise caused the borg cube to self-destruct in orbit of Earth.
The Captain then has them sent to sickbay, to test for any effects of the temporal rift that carried them to the Delta Quadrant, escorted by Josh Rand, who is very excited to see his aunt again.
Word quickly spreads through the ship that survivors of Wolf 359 have been found. Several crewmembers rush to sickbay in search of loved ones lost in the battle. Lieutenant Barriston is unable to find a woman named Selina, who was lost on the USS Roosevelt, but B'Elanna Torres is able to find her long-lost friend Marshall Sinclair.
On the bridge, the word is still spreading. It is revealed that Josh and Athena Rand are relations of Janice Rand, whom Tuvok served under during his time on the USS Excelsior.
Back in sickbay, the Doctor reveals that the radiation has not harmed the survivors, but it has forged a permanent link between them and the rift. He concludes that if the anomaly recurs, they will be pulled back into it. Torres thinks she has a way to reduce the radiation levels, and rushes to engineering to come up with a solution.
The sixteen survivors are given quarters and begin mingling with the crew. Both sides explain there stories; the Voyager crew explains how they were brought to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, while the survivors explain their seemingly three month (actually six year) trip through the rift. The survivors quickly blend in, one of them; a Vulcan named T'Pei, even befriending Tuvok.
Unfortunatly, the rift suddenly begins the appear, throwing the survivors into a siezure-like state. The rift stops, as do the siezures, but Torres realizes she must hurry to complete her device to hold onto the survivors.
As she completes the device, the rift begin to appear again. She prepares to test it on Commander Rand, but the rift causes the survivors' cells to begin to destabelize rapidally. Once again, Voyager witnesses the Battle of Wolf 359. Voyager goes to warp, but the rift follows, still tied to the survivors. The survivors have no choice but to re-enter the pods and return to the rift, with only minutes to say good-bye. As the pods enter the rift, Josh Rand steals an escape pod of his own, and attempts to go after them. Voyager tries to beam him back, but it is too late, he, the rift, and the survivors have all dissappeared.
Voyager prepares to go to warp again when suddenly a large unidentified ship opens fire on them.
