Stardate: 49301.2 While trying to take in a sample of a rogue comet, the crew of Voyager inadvertently beams aboard a member of the Q, who has been imprisoned in the comet by the Continuum due to his desire to commit sleeping. When the Q who had pestered Captain Jean-Luc Picard for so many years materializes, Q asks for asylum on Voyager, which leads to a lengthy court hearing on this request.
While chasing a renegade Maquis ship in the Badlands, the USS Voyager and the Maquis ship they are chasing are pulled into a vortex, which sends them instantly to the Delta Quadrant. However, after the destruction of the device that transported them to the Delta Quadrant, the crew of Voyager and the crew of the Maquis ship must join together to fight their way back to their home in the Alpha quadrant, which is many years away. They will meet many foes and many obstacles along the way, but they will also bond as a crew, between those of the Maquis and those of Starfleet.
