what happened to tessa of timeless?

[Kai Winn]

watched some ds9 episode earlier today (shadowplay) and because it was so perfectly boring, downloaded timeless of voyager. watched it only once before, and didn't really appreciate its beauty yet.
the hardened, cynical kim is priceless, the whole plot outstanding, the doctor as usual at his best, and the dialogue of kim and janeway at the end certainly one of the great moments of star trek. if i could join starfleet, i want to be assigned to voyager. i want janeway's expression of appreciation, or blame. it's motivating.
i'm positive they filmed some scene with tessa, chakotays lover in the erased timeline who perished in the explosion of the delta flyer, but cut it because it might have cheapened the ending with kim/janeway.
my hope is, that she was in the restored timeline assigned to riker's titan, unhitching riker and troi.

It has been a while since I watched this episode, so my impressions may be way off. As I recall I thought it was implied that Tessa was some kind of Voyager "groupie" and was obsessed with the ship and it's crew. I also did not think she was ex-Starfleet.

Figured she just went back to her old life, with holovids of Voyager all over her house. Would be an interesting fanfic. Surely someone has written about her.

Adding to that, what happened to Rain Robinson, the kids touring the Starfleet Communications building (where Barclay made an outburst with his commanding officer), and all those one-time guest stars????

However, they didn't state when she became a "Voyager groupie". It may have been when Harry and Chakotay got home in the other timeline. If that was the case, She may not care in the Prime Universe....

Captain Geordi beamed her off in the knick of time and raised his temporal shields, protecting the Challenger from the effects of the timeline change. She was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in temporal prison. However she escaped just prior to Admiral Janeway fixing Voyager's predicament and prevented the time police from interfering in the Admiral's mission. She therefore saved Voyager twice.

I like your reasoning Akiraprise Though with ‘conventional’ temporal shields in place on USS Challenger would the original timeline not have been restored? This being as it would have interfered with the timelines re-integration, thinking back to near the end of 'Year of Hell' before Janeway sacrifices Voyager? In that case, perhaps La Forge had access to 29th century technology to physically transport his ship out of the doomed timeline…

 

[Guy Gardener]

Oh no.

The borg are not idiots.

They wouldn't invent a piece of technology which would destroy themselves.

That's stupid.

So really, some sort of temporal shield had to be in place to protect the users and their matter in their direct vicinity so that only half the ship they're flying in, standing in traverses crosstime...

I believe that everyone in the deltaflyer(? it's been a while.) was temporally static and preserved as the universe transformed around them, but I also beleive that the explosion killing them was temporally static and preserved as the universe transformed around it.

So their atomized corpses and debries from their shuttle are floating in space still inthe future despite their alternate selves wakling aound free and breezy unaware of their duplicates.

imagine if Kim added a note to his past self about Tessa?

I thought it was clear that he thought that she should have been his and not that "old mans". It was ridiculous that she would pass up someone almost her own age for a man who'd chum around with her grandfather.

How old would she have been in the present when the story was set in season 5? Even is she was 12, it's still not the youngest woman Harry Kim has married and made babies with.

That would mean Geordi would end up not remembering Data dying.

The whole Tessa subplot was just weird all around. She wasn't necessary at all as far as the time travel aspect went...a throwaway line about how just about anybody helped Chakotay and Harry get the tech would have worked. I assume her primary purpose was as a love interest, and as that, she worked...out of all the ladies we saw Chakotay with over the years, I liked Tessa best, next to Seven.

Their chemistry made the plot strain believability though. 'Honey, love you to bits, but if you want to make us never happen, I'm completely down with that.'

Poor Tessa. I want her drugs.

You know, what would have really been interesting for Chakotay in season seven is if he had come into contact with her through the Pathfinder communiques and they had 'struck off' again in the fixed timeline. That's a long distance relationship I wouldn't have minded seeing develop.

Except with the age difference, that might make Chakotay a paedophile.

Was there that big a one? Must have missed that line. I assumed she was at least mid to late thirties...very nicely preserved, but still.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Lets see?

Assuming that the actors ages are comparable with the characters ages, if she is human...

Beltran was born in November 1953, and Christine was born in 1968, so on the level that's a 15 year age gap which isn't unforgiveble, but all her scenes where set in the Future some 15 years upstream.

Chuckles was 30 years older than his girlfriend.

I think it's more polite to say that she was grave robbing than that he was robbing the cradle, not that these things don't happen now and then.

Timeless is my favorite VOY episode. I love it on so many levels. There's a great untold story there with Tessa.
