We have the exact location of the temporo-dimensional well that brought us here. We have a programmable anti-matter torpedo that is as close as we can get to the one Deidamia used on us.

We have the Athena, and the best crew of cadets I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. It is, I believe, time to go home.

It will have to. Synthesizing more programmable antimatter in this universe will prove challenging.

Well then, we will have to make it count. What about the delivery mechanism?

Caleb and I found schematics from Deidamia’s ship that we think will work. All we have to do is build the torpedo.

Did Deidamia finally decide to share what she knows?

Deidamia? Ha! No. I was right about her. She was bluffing.

The Doctor
Dialogue
This is all me, Commander. But I did get the idea from Deidamia. I was analyzing her assault on your Station to see if there were any valuable insights to be gleaned.

I noticed how her tactics have changed since coming here. She is no longer able to rely on experimental weaponry.

She had been using programmable antimatter torpedoes in the battle that precipitated our arrival here, you see.

Programmable antimatter is typically used for shielding.

Dialogue
Exactly. The idea behind it, presumably, is to reprogram the opponent’s shields, allowing one to create weak points on the fly that can then be exploited.

And it worked, too.

It did, until Deidamia hit us with one at the very moment the Athena went to warp. The programmable antimatter reacted to our growing warp bubble in a way no one could have predicted.

Dialogue
It created a temporo-dimensional well that sucked in all of the surrounding ships. At least, that is my working theory. To progress further, I need data. We must return to where this all began.

Commander, I have been running simulations to better understand how the Athena ended up in your galaxy, and I believe I may have cracked it.

Scan complete. There is a significant disturbance in the subspace here. The location corresponds to where we first found you.

So far so good. If subspace remains altered there, perhaps it is still malleable. That will give us a greater chance of opening a way back.

We need detailed subspace scans in order to find our point of entry. If we can pinpoint the exact location, then we might be able to recreate the conditions that brought us here and return home.
