Storyline
Postscript
- The Doctor: "Several of your crew members remain in Sickbay, but they've insisted I deliver a report on their findings. There's been a drastic change in the composition of Saturn's rings. No tholin impurities, four percent less amorphous carbon... in essence, several rings are missing."
- choice A
- Captain: "Missing? What happened to them?"
- The Doctor: "Local chroniton readings suggest they have moved to another moment in time, but more alarming is the presence of residual subatomic particles–suggesting they were physically, intentionally moved there by a transporter."
- choice B
- Captain: "I'll wait to hear from an actual science officer."
- The Doctor: MISSING
- choice C
- Captain: "Thank you for helping to treat my crew."
- The Doctor: MISSING
- The Doctor: "Now, if this transporting was done from a ship, we'd be at a dead end. Luckily for you, there appears to be a trail of subatomic particles leading to a fixed location–a research facility of some kind. I suggest you head there next."
- choice A
- Captain: "Thank you, Doctor. We'll set course at once."
- choice B
- Captain: "I'm ashamed to wear the uniform if this is true..."
- choice C
- Captain: "An impressive accomplishment, even it caused all this chaos."
