Stardate: 43625.2 A time rift opens up in front of the Enterprise. A battered and abused starship comes through from 22 years in the past. It is the Enterprise-C, the predecessor to the modern ship. A terrible battle which almost destroyed it has opened the rift. As the Enterprise-C comes through the rift, however, the end of its presence in the past drastically alters the present, and Lt. Worf is replaced by the formerly deceased Tasha Yar... The Enterprise-C's failure to be where it needed to be has led to a very different present, victim of a long and drawn-out war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, leading to the death of billions. Only Guinan senses the change, and, warning Picard, he must make a choice - to send back the ship through the rift, to almost certain doom, trusting Guinan's assurances that his present was never meant to be. Or to save the 125 surviving crewmembers.
