The One Where Sarah Silverman Teaches Them to Swear
Suppose the crew can't get back to their own time at the end of Future's end. What should they do?

Find somewhere to hide the ship. (Uninhabited world, underwater etc). Stasis fields. Wake up just after Kathy loses the ship in the badlands
I think they'd have set up shop on some out of the way planet or just kept looking for ways to travel back to the 24th century, whether slingshot around the sun, Guardian of Forever, mucking about with chronitons etc.
Maybe they could travel to some nearby part of space that would be little explored in the next 400 years - admittedly sort of a contradiction 14.28 - and drive the ship at relativistic speeds so time slowed to a small percentage of it's normal rate. And then make suspended animation chambers.
In "Space Seed" Khan's people were in suspended animation for "200 years" - 100 to 300 I guess, and probably closer to 300 than to 100.
So Eugenics Wars era sleeper units have a 14.28 percent malfunction rate over 200 or 300 years. Possibly Voyager era sleeper units have lower failure rate. If Voyager travels fast enough to slow down time 50 percent suspended animation for 200 years voyager time will last for 400 years in the outside universe. Or maybe they can create some type of time warp to freeze time on the ship so that no time passes for 400 years or whatever until their own time.

Travelling inside a warp bubble side steps relativity.
You're not in real space.
Relativistic speed happens as you approach the speed of light.
Impulse speed doesn't work like that either.
It's not about thrust and acceleration.
Full impulse is .25C some novel told me once, that has been proved to be a load of balls many times.

It's highly unlikely that the Federation allowed the crew of the Enterprise to publicize how they travelled through time, even if it leaked out that they had travelled through time, if it actually did.
The 1701 crew would have been selectively snapped up by foreign intelligence services and interrogated until the secrets of time travel were theirs too... Maybe?

I don't think everyone knows about that or can do it. I always got the impression that the ability to sling shot around the sun was not public knowledge and it was very difficutl to doSlingshot around the sun. Boom, you are back home and have to fight in the Dominion War
Spock did the Math in his head.
It has to be easy.
Even if Christopher made it MUCH harder in his Time Cop novels.

Janeway probably knows, and Tuvok would be able to make calculations. Lot of things Janeway knows aren't public knowledge
Either she lost the ship, or she lost the Alpha Quadrant.
Pick one.

Find some out of the way planet and build a colony seems fine to me
Or maybe build a colony within the Sol system if they don't want to go far-keep an eye on human development while maintaining a strict no contact policy
Or heck go on a wild run back to the delta quadrant by the time the federation makes contact with their descendants it will be the 24th century(most likely).

There's a thought...They start traveling back to the DQ (not a likely thing but for the sake of argument) and they settle somewhere along the way and have babies and stuff...then Voyager launches, gets lost in the DQ and comes across a colony of their own descendants.
Write the fanfic already!
Someone needs to write this..not me though I can't write at all
So Harry starts to fall in love with a girl on this colony and then they discover that she's his descendant hahaha
