Trelane was not wrong to say that things are all over the place. You have suffered quantum deharmonization due to timeline instability. If it progresses…

Is this because I brought him with us through time and space? Oh, this is bad, this is very bad! If Mr. Riker is done for, the whole tapestry of timelines will unravel, and I’ll get grounded. Again!

Restoring the timeline, and it seems we have come to the moment of your away mission on Nervala IV. You will have to get back there and resume your fate as a duplicate, confined to the outpost.

But what about meeting Captain Picard? Getting justice for the Pegasus? Changing the fate of the universe? I am William Riker, always have been. Do I not deserve the future that the other me gets?

You do, friend. But it’s more complicated than you think. Let’s talk about it on our way to Nervala.

Helm to sickbay, prepare for transport – Mr. Riker is in a critical condition. Plotting the fastest route to our Station.

Something does not seem right. Nervala IV’s distortion field is at its lowest, and by the time Riker’s away team lands there, they will be able to escape without getting the transporter duplication issues.

Then let it be, Commander. If I don’t become a copy of myself, I won’t have to suffer eight years in solitude. I won’t regret becoming the lesser man for missing every second of my other life.

We have been cruel to you, perhaps, in showing you the life of William Riker rather than your own, Thomas. You will become a different man – you already are. And your existence is paramount.

I know that William Riker will steal the limelight, but the Commander and I will forever remember that he only made it because Thomas Riker was there to guide him.

We must, no matter what, adjust Nervala IV’s orbit to restore the temporal continuity. A series of graviton field charges will shift it into the desired position.

This is your stop, Mr. Riker. I have improved the outpost’s life support systems to provide you with a more comfortable stay on Nervala IV. Thank you for helping us. We will never forget what you have done.

Commander, your mission here is to restore the timeline, right? To ensure that Captain Picard finds his loyal first officer so that they can achieve many great things together, correct?

I am sorry, friend. I’ll do better next time, I promise. Can we do something to make Mr. Riker’s life a bit better at that dreary outpost?

Dialogue
We cannot do much without disrupting continuity; however, some alterations to the outpost computer will make Mr. Riker’s stay a bit easier. We will see to it immediately.
