Rain goes to meet Starling. Torres and Chakotay go down to earth in a shuttle rigged to look on radar like a small aircraft. The plan is to get Starling in Rain's van, then beam him up to the shuttle. Unfortunately, Starling instead wants Rain to get into his limo. Fortunately, everybody manages to change over the coordinates before the limo's in motion.
Torres beams Starling onto the shuttle.
Unfortunately, Starling has a 29th Century tricorder which wrecks the shuttle's transporter and makes the shuttle crash in Arizona. Fortunately, Rain and the Doctor, who runs like a girl, escape from the limo, and Staring doesn't really know how to use the tricorder right. Eventually, Janeway gets him and his tricorder on Voyager. Torres and Chakotay are captured by some sort of Freemen-like extremist group in Arizona. Back on Voyager, Janeway tries to cower Starling, but he isn't buying it and threatens to blow up the timeship, and most of Los Angeles, if anyone tries to tamper with it.
