* Originally, Voyager discovered the class M planet devastated by an explosion that happened the previous day due to the detonation of polaric ion energy. Captain Janeway and Tom Paris were thrown back in time before the explosion by a subspace fracture. The Voyager crew attempts to rescue them by opening a fracture with a polaric generator but cause the original explosion and destroy all life on the planet, including the captain. Janeway resets time by closing the fracture before it causes the explosion. This creates a new timeline in which Voyager never went to the planet and the civilization is spared. ()

However, it is later found out that the wormhole is a rift through time and that R'Mor is from the year 2351. After some consideration, R'Mor agrees to take the crew's personal messages with him and deliver them to Starfleet at the appropriate time. R'Mor is later discovered to have died in 2367 and the messages were apparently never delivered to Starfleet. ()

She attempts to give the crew of Voyager to the Vidiians in exchange for safe passage for her future and present self to . Her plan fails and Janeway is forced to kill Kes.

However, their plan is thwarted by Miles O'Brien, who had foreseen the future and warned Benjamin Sisko. ()
