Yet another Time-Line Issue...

[2 of 10]

In "Endgame" pt 2, when Voyager finally made in back to the Sol Sector it came back with technology that was from 30 years in the future. What do you suppose Star Fleet Intellegence did with it. I was thinking that Section 31 would have loved to get their hand on it, what about you...

I'm thinking they creamed on themselves with joy.

And then Captain Braxton (or Crewman Daniels) came and took everything away.

It seems that at the very least, it wasn't rolled out to the fleet - as evidenced by the Enterprise-E's (i.e. the flagship's) technology in Nemesis.

Maybe Starfleet Command, Starfleet Intelligence of even Section 31 kept it under lock and key to uphold the Temporal Prime Directive. At least I'm hoping so.

I remember not being overly sold on the Batmobile armour and transphasic torpedoes at the time. It bothered me even more that they allowed to the Borg to scan and analyse it I'm assuming there was some timeline jiggery pokery after Voyager's return so the timeline wasn't contaminated any more than it had been.

^^ it seemed to me that the TPD wasn't in effect in the 24th Century

It seems to me that Voyager was contradicting itself on this issue.

In VOY: "Shattered", Janeway seemed to be aware of the directive's existence in 2371, long before "Future's End", which seemed to imply that the Temporal Prime Directive was not only a 29th century regulation.

In "Shattered" it was a regulation already in effect in the 24th century. In all other episodes it was at least implied that it was a regulation from the 29th century.

In the Destiny triogy we find out that Starfleet has kept it under wraps.

^ Damn, I can't unlearn that now I'm gonna have to keep up with new releases a bit better...

Sorry

lol don't worry about it, I'm just kidding

It's actually good to know that some of the loose ends of Endgame are dealt with. I'm looking forward to reading the books soon. Just got the VOY and TNG relaunches to catch up on and I should be ready to dive in.

I think it's simplest to assume it disappeared like a soap bubble when the timeline from which Admiral Janeway originated was prevented. Something like that. The episode had a problem when it introduced Admiral Janeway with a tech that sent her all the way to the Delta Quadrant in the single shot anyway...it's not much of a reach to imagine that some variant of it could have brought Voyager back instead of all the Borg nonsense, and tech like that is a big matzoh ball to have hanging out there. So...soap bubble, or alternatively, the 29th-century time cops showed up and set everything right somehow.

Actually, they probably did just that.

Unless, of course, it was already established in Braxton's timeline that the technology was allowed to stay. Maybe it was required to be there for Braxton's timeline to come to pass.

Afterall, Braxton and co are going to make sure their timeline comes to pass.

 

[Spock-2012]

Voyager has a tendancy to go forward/back in time too often, or deal with futuristic tech. I remember at least six episodes where they had to be sent back to their time by the Time Ship...

Touche!

 

[Hermiod]

I strongly suspect it would have been put under lock and key much as Daniels' quarters were in Enterprise.

The Doctor's Mobile emitter wasn't and that was centuries ahead of it's time.

Did it solve more problems than it created?

Cross time Braxtons and Ducanes are not struggling to make their own home more real than other timelines pushing through and crushing their concept of reality, otherwise the "integration technology" wouldn't be used to fuse together temporal doppelgangers in much the same way as Neelix and Tuvok combine their entities to become Tuvix... I wonder if it was decided by someone with presupposed moral superiority decided that the several Kathryn Janeways and Anika Hansen's who were mashed together after the episode "Relativity" should all be split again since they're all vital people who deserve their own lives even if Voyager wasn't roomy enough for the lot of them, especially if 5 kathryn Janeways simultaneously and equally start insisting that it is they who are more real and deserve command of the ship and god help anyone who gets in her way or sides against her...

So Braxton (or Daniels be serving from outside time, like Annorax was) probably has a "bugger it, close enough" rule of thumb (t)he(y) subscribes to before (t)he(y) submits him/themself and thir crew to integration with whatever doppelgangers are wandering about in the new shape of time thinking they are the original and definitive Braxton, his crew, others, et all... Although we know the process eventually drives you space crazy.
