Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Prologue

B'Elanna gripped her console in anticipation of their exit from the slipstream. She glanced around Engineering, noticing that everyone had grown silent.

It wasn't that the exit would be rough, but that if everything went right, they were going to be within 3000 light years of home.

"Well?" someone shouted as the ship came to a halt.

"Hang on," Joe called back. "Give the Bridge a few minutes--the engineers are down here today, so we have to be patient."

She smiled. "Wherever we are, we need to bring systems back on line. Let's get to it."

A series of cheers erupted from every station in Engineering, all variations on the same theme: "We did it!"
