Kim awakens to find himself back on Earth, laying in bed next to his girlfriend (now fiancée) Libby, and the last thing he can remember is being in a shuttlecraft. He has been transported to a different reality, where he was rejected for the Voyager crew, and is instead a successful engineer who has just designed a revolutionary new runabout called the Yellowstone. To everyone around him, he seems to be crazy or to be a spy. Needing help, he finds Tom Paris, who also didn’t make it to Voyager and has instead turned to a life of drinking, hanging out in pool halls and forgetting to shave. Kim explains to the doubting Paris what the other reality is like, and, eventually, Paris comes to his aid. Together, using the directions of one of the aliens that live in the time stream that caught Kim, they steal the Yellowstone and duplicate the conditions of the original accident. Paris is even willing to die in the explosion just for the chance of becoming part of the Voyager crew and the other reality – which of course he does. Okay, it doesn’t make any sense. If Kim plopped into another reality, where is the Kim that was in the other reality? But it is still cool to see Kim out of his element.
