It’s a dream come true – a wormhole that leads straight back to the Alpha Quadrant. What’s more, messages are coming through the wormhole from Starfleet and friends, and they are all 100% positive – ambassadors appointed, full pardons for Maquis, great jobs and promotions offered. And the crew, under some strange influence, believes it all, and will even try to stop those that are dubious (like Seven of Nine and Naomi Wildman). The crew enters the ‘wormhole’, which is actually a huge, spaceship-eating organism that has been using telepathy and telemetry to fool everyone. Seven contacts another ship inside the beast, a lone warrior who has been battling it for 40 years, attempting to atone for the death of his family. With the rest of the crew sleeping, Seven, Naomi, ‘Captain Ahab’, and the doctor are able to find a way out. The crew awakens to find that they are still in the Alpha Quadrant; the alien Captain Ahab sets off in pursuit of the beast once more.
