Oh, knock it off. I’ve seen it all. Did you really think that I was just going to let you meddle with the time vortex without keeping an eye on you? What kind of father would that make me?

Actually, on the contrary. While you could have continued to galavant around the cosmos sating your baser desires, you instead attempted to educate yourself on the workings of time and space.

I must say, that was quite unexpected. You intrigued me. I just had to see what you’d do next. That’s when you found the time vortex… and that’s when you surprised me even further.

Dispense with the upselling! We’re here for a specific configuration of deflector dish – preferably one acquired directly from a Starfleet starship. Review these schematics and if you have it, we’ll talk.

At least no more ships have come pouring out of it. That’s a start!

Alright, Commander. The task is simple. All you need to do is use that shiny new dish of yours to generate an anti-tachyon pulse aimed directly at the temporal rift.

If all goes according to plan, the pulse should seal the rift entirely. Once that’s done, we can–

Wait. Commander, our sensors have detected an approaching starship at bearing 158-mark-76. According to preliminary scans, it appears to be a scavenger ship.

Another scavenger? Something’s not right here… Commander, perform a quick scan of the new deflector dish. Search for any anomalous hardware that may be attached to it.

Our scans of the dish have detected a tracking device. The Ferengi must have sent this scavenger to attack us.

So, that’s where these scavengers have been getting their leads. That Ferengi has been selling out his own customers and working with the scavengers. I’ll ring his neck when I get my hands on him!

Which brings me to our next point of action. Together, we've explored the deepest reaches of time and space. We’ve righted our wrongs and ensured that the very fabric of reality itself remains intact.

Alas, I'm afraid our time together has come to an end. With the time vortex stabilized, only one task remains – we must seal the temporal rift and ensure that no trace of our interference can be found.

How do you suggest that we accomplish this task?

I know that you probably expected me to just click my fingers and that rift would seal itself right up. But I’m afraid it’s not going to be that simple.

So, we’re going to try an alternative method. One that’s proven to be successful in the past… or was that the future? We’ve been hopping around time so much that I honestly can’t tell anymore!

According to Starfleet records, there have been known instances of certain captains using their ship’s deflector dish to generate anti-tachyon pulses in order to seal temporal rifts.

I am familiar with the method of which you are referring to. However, no ship in our fleet is equipped with a correctly configured dish capable of generating such a pulse.

Now, that’s something we can easily fix! I just happen to know of a certain Ferengi starship scrapper who may have just what we need. Lay in a course for Ferenginar, Commander. Let’s go shopping!
