Storyline
Announcement
On the planet of Xindus, resurrected via temporal anomaly, the desperate conflict that eventually led to the planet’s destruction plays out nearly to completion each day… and then resets. Even worse, several displaced Starfleet personnel find themselves trapped in the middle of this perpetually repeating civil war, unable to escape because they forget they are trapped with every new sunrise. Luckily, a version of Harry Kim familiar with temporal loops has figured out what is happening and hopes to find a way to end the loop without losing the Starfleet personnel on the planet. But he’s going to need help. [1]
Prologue
- Rogue Harry Kim: "Captain, the temporal crisis has brought back the planet Xindus. But it is not the planet on any normal day. No, this version of Xindus is reliving its last brutal day, where the seismic fissures were bombed, ripping Xindus to shreds."
- Rogue Harry Kim: "Reliving your most destructive mistakes over and over... I've been there mentally and it's hell. But to actually physically replay it over and over, I can't even imagine. And as if that weren't bad enough..."
- Rogue Harry Kim: "We have Starfleet personnel trapped on the surface, being forced to live out this experience over and over. The Dominion and Hirogen have both taken a strong interest in Xindus' fate, and neither side will back down."
- Rogue Harry Kim: "The Dominion want Xindus' original fate to remain, where the Hirogen think that the surface of Xindus and the continued existence of the Avians might be more exciting for future hunts. I just want to rescue our personnel, close the loop, and get out of here."
Intermezzo
- War Correspondent Jake Sisko: "Captain, this is Jake Sisko. Captain Archer and I are here on the surface of Xindus. We've been listening to your communications with Mr. Kim and, well, as crazy as it might sound, we think you should leave Xindus and the temporal loop as is."
- Xindi Prisoner Archer: "Living out this day on repeat is hell, that's for sure. But that's the point. It always resets. Though the world is destroyed at day's end, we're back to square one the next morning. And maybe that's how it should be left, don't you think?"
- Choice A
- Captain: "Leaving the loop intact still ensures that Xindus meets its fate by day's end..."
- Xindi Prisoner Archer: "You're right. I guess the Dominion believe the best outcome still involves the extinction of the Avians, since it means the other Xindi races survive, but I still have a hard time accepting that as the right choice."
- Choice B
- Captain: "It is possible to hunt on the surface of Xindus for most of the final day."
- War Correspondent Jake Sisko: "If the Hirogen are so desperate for a hunt, than I suppose you are right. They would get their wish. But, Captain, I'm down here. I can't see how anyone would put themselves in the middle of this intentionally."
- Rogue Harry Kim: "Who cares what the Dominion OR the Hirogen want? This whole thing seems crazy... but on the other hand, to decide a planet's fate like that when it has another shot... maybe leaving the loop intact and thus making no decision either way would is our best option."
Epilogue
- War Correspondent Jake Sisko: "This is Jake Sisko, of Starfleet, sending out a request for aid. Believe it or not, I am on the surface of the planet Xindus. Due to the temporal anomaly..."
- Rogue Harry Kim: "That's the same distress call he sent out yesterday. And the day before. We really are back at square one, Captain. No point in trying to address anything we spoke about yesterday with him. He won't remember."
- Rogue Harry Kim: "Is this really okay? I know they all reset at the end of the day, but can you imagine experiencing your own death and the destruction of a planet, over and over?! If you can sleep at night knowing about this, then good for you, but I don't think I can..."
- Rogue Harry Kim: "I guess if we're to find a ray of hope in all of this, it's that at least there will be no more casualties than there were when this originally happened. Sisko and Archer chose to keep the loop going. I guess that's every man's right."
