Fissure Quest (episode)

Fissures must be closed before they get inflamed.
== Summary ==
=== Teaser ===
The lower deckers sit in a bar as Sam Rutherford works on his implant, trying to connect it back to the Cerritos, stopping only when it fires a plasma beam that nicks Brad Boimler. An offhanded comment about this being "our last Boimler" prompts T'Lyn to ask about Brad's duplication. D'Vana Tendi excitedly launches into the story of William Boimler's life and death, stopping only when Beckett Mariner clears her throat. In response to Boimler's sad look, Tendi excitedly points out how others have come back to life without any problems, including Shaxs, who is at his own table screaming gibberish at his mashed potatoes. Boimler points out that the randomness of death matches the unexpected joys of life. Mariner is impressed that William chose to remain on the Titan, remarking that he was very motivated. Bradward imagines that if he were still around, he'd probably be on a huge adventure he wishes he could have seen.
Leaving the Cerritos and passing through multiple rifts and galaxies, an unmarked Defiant-class ship in Quantum reality 582.76-Φ appears. T'Pol declares that they will reach the rift in ninety seconds while Curzon Dax states that weapons are armed and ready. Captain William Boimler orders them to prepare to pass through the quantum threshold, to Curzon's enthusiastic response. William records an unenthusiastic log, talking about the Anaximanders mission to find the individuals trying to destroy the multiverse. With praise for his first officer T'Pol, tactical officer Curzon, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Elim Garak and Garak's husband: an EMH based off of Dr. Julian Bashir.
Detecting a Starfleet escape pod, much to William's continued annoyance and lack of enthusiasm, they transport aboard a lone survivor: Lt. Harry Kim. Kim's thanks and enthusiasm for his rescue is suddenly tempered when he discovers that most of the crew of the Anaximander is made up of Harry Kims (much to "the Kim Crew's excitement). William puts his hands in his heads and declares that he hates the multiverse.
=== Act One ===
As the Anaximander collapses the rift they just passed through, and as Curzon practices with his bat'leth on the bridge to T'Pol's annoyance, William and T'Pol explain to Lt. Kim that the rifts are not natural and that a ship of some sort is bridging dimensions by tearing them open. T'Pol and Curzon explain to Kim that there are an infinite number of quantum realities and that the ship in question is causing damage across the multiverse. When Kim asks who might be responsible, William launches into a diatribe about how it's probably a derivative of someone they already know such as a "Reverse Picard" or a "Human Worf." Yelling about how the entire multiverse is made up of "lazy, derivative remixes," William stalks off the bridge, to the confusion of Kim and knowing looks of Curzon and T'Pol. When T'Pol explains that the lack of success is wearing on William's patience, Kim acknowledges that it must feel like they're just treading water.
Observing Garak and Bashir holding hands and laughing, Kim asks if they're from the same reality. Curzon says no, and says the couple love to brag how statistically unlikely their marriage is, then complains about how no lovers are falling out of the quantum rifts for himself. Kim wonders why the captain hates his mission so much when there's such excitement in exploring different realities. Curzon points out that he's used to exploring the galaxy and that right now they just travel from one rift to another. Curzon escorts Kim to a set of shared quarters where several other Kims are resting, playing cards, eating, and playing the clarinet. One asks whether Lt. Kim's Voyager made it back to Earth or settled in the Delta Quadrant. He replies that they made it back, much to the delight of some and the disappointment of others. Suddenly, one of the Kims screams at everyone to shut up because he just realized that Lt. Kim has two pips. The various ensigns are shocked and excited, and Lt. Kim is pleased until he suddenly realizes that none of the other Kims have been promoted.
Bashir tells Garak how, based on his research, the original Bashir was an avid racquetball player. Garak remarks that Bashir and Miles O'Brien were quite competitive. When asked if they ever invited him to join, Garak points out that he took an oath to do no harm and that extended to humiliating them at racquetball. A sudden look of pain brings Bashir over to give Garak a shoulder massage as the latter reminisces about a Bolian masseuse on the Promenade who could work wonders. Garak says he'll take them when their mission is over, only for Bashir to suddenly get upset at the idea that Garak thinks they're definitely going to return to his reality. Despite his protestations that he hasn't actually thought about it, Bashir knowingly response that he absolutely has. When Garak complains about his shoulder still having a knot, Bashir response that it's a pity his Bolian isn't here and deactivates himself.
Arriving at another rift and beginning to repair it, William again points out that their friend will open a new one soon enough when alarms start to blare. A Starfleet shuttlecraft with its nacelles on fire flies through the rift. T'Pol remarks that its engines are critical and William points out that they must have been traveling at warp. Yelling for emergency transport, the shuttlecraft explodes, but its lone occupant materializes on the bridge: Beckett Mariner, wearing an operations gold uniform. William runs and happily hugs her as she struggles to get her thoughts together, only to suddenly look behind her and shockingly remark that she thinks the Vulcan behind her is T'Pol.
=== Act Two ===
Later, in the Anaximanders mess hall, alternate Mariner comprehends that William is a transporter clone of the original Boimler and recalls that the same thing happened to her Deanna Troi, and that her copy got stranded on a planet for years, the same as Prime's Thomas Riker. Additionally, in Mariner's universe, her Boimler tends to wear a leather jacket, while she prefers engineering over adventuring. She notices William staring at her fondly and he says it's good to see her.
Nearby, the Kims question Lieutenant Kim about the benefits of his rank. When he throws back why none of them have been promoted, the one of the Kims suggest that between Borg infiltrations and Vidiians trying to steal their organs, ranking up never seem to be an issue for them and that they just were happy to be in Starfleet. Lieutenant Kim emphasizes, stating that everyone get promoted before ops, like junior officers are socially invisible. He then asks his counterparts about the fate of their Tuvix.
T'Pol sits down to join Curzon, who is busy slurping down noodles. Curzon treats her with hostility in response to her criticisms on his eating habits. Despite her reasoning that she was merely concerned about protecting the Dax symbiont to ensure it can be passed onto the next host, of which no other Trill are present on the Anaximander, Curzon says he's trying to live life to its fullest so the next host might learn something.
Back with William and Mariner, he asks why he had to rescue her from her own shuttle when she's averse to danger. She explains that she was unaware that the rifts emitted radial tachyons that caused her engines to explode while traveling at warp. However, it was because of that incident that she was able to figure out how to track down the culprit who has been screwing up the multiverse, causing William to leap from his seat in shock, startling her.
On the bridge with William, T'Pol and Curzon, Mariner explains back in her universe, she wondered why her entanglement processor kept requiring a reset. She then figured out every time an interdimensional rift is opened, a second rift is also created in a random part of the galaxy in accordance to the conservation of energy. That is the very reason the Anaximander hasn't caught up with the culprit because they've been going through the wrong rifts. However, if they were to recreate the same level of radial tachyons as that ship, it would force them to appear at their location. William compliments that Mariner is a great engineer, which she finds surprising.
The Anaximander generates the rift, at which an unknown ship emerges from the rift and plots an escape course. At William's order, Curzon opens fire on the ship's engines, scoring a direct hit at a surprisingly unshielded vessel. The unknown vessel generates another rift to escape. Despite T'Pol warning that the rift's event horizon is in flux and would likely compromise the Anaximanders structural integrity, William insists they don't have a choice and orders a pursuit course.
As the Anaximander passes through the rift, a electrical surge injures one of the Kims, forcing Mariner to move him to sickbay. As Bashir and Garak get to work on him, they bicker about the difference in their respective Risian wines. However, Bashir quickly becomes upset that Garak had unilaterally decided that they would be spending their lives in his reality, and deactivates himself out of anger.
As the Anaximander follows the unknown ship through interdimensional space, Curzon ignores William's order to hold fire, striking his target just as they exit into another universe. The damage both vessels has sustained force them to land on a nearby swamp planet to affect repairs. Seeing William's impatience at catching their quarry, Mariner remarks that her Boimler is way more chill, prompting T'Pol to remark that she doesn't have Boimler in her own quantum reality to make a comparison. Mariner quickly describes him as a big Starfleet nerd like Jonathan Archer, which T'Pol accepts as an accurate description.
Upon landing on the bog planet, an away team composed of William, Mariner, Curzon and T'Pol depart to search for the mysterious vessel, which is roughly 400 meters to the north. Suddenly, they encountered a Khwopian. Mariner assumes them to be friendly like in her reality, but is soon proven wrong as the Khwopians react hostilely and take the crew prisoner.
=== Act Three ===
The Khwopians imprison the crew, separating the Kims in one cell and the rest in another. William remarks that feral Khwopians don't make any sense, given that they're too cute to be hostile; Curzon points out that at least they're not trying to "drink [their] bones." William turns his attention to Mariner, who is reacting nervously to being imprisoned. Suddenly, she bumps into another occupant, of their cell, revealed to be four Humans wearing 22nd century style uniforms and two Vulcans. Their leader, a brown skinned woman, blames the Anaximander crew for attacking them unprovoked.
Back at the Anaximander, a pair of Khwopians do a quick sweep of sickbay. After they leave, Garak emerges from hiding behind a wall panel before acting Bashir with a mobile emitter; Bashir complains over the floor being covered in mud. Garak grabs a phaser and tells Bashir to stay while he rescues the crew. Bashir reminds his husband that he's just a surgeon, but Garak insists that he's more than that and they share a kiss before Garak departs.
Back in the Khwopian prison, Lieutenant Kim complains over the command staff getting their own cell, but one Ensign Kim is unbothered, as a cell is a cell. They then watch the argument between William and his opponents, the former blaming the latter for attempting to destroy the multiverse; Mariner observes something familiar about the woman. As the woman defends that they close each rift they pass through, Mariner identifies her as Lily Sloane. However, unlike in most universes where she helped Zefram Cochrane create his warp drive, this Sloane had created a quantum reality drive. William asserts that she's the villain of the story but Mariner and T'Pol insists Sloane's crew aren't villainous. A female Vulcan explains that they travel to different realities to further their scientific knowledge, but they are bound by strict directives akin to the Prime Directive that forbid contact with societies unable to cross dimensions on their own. However, they were unaware that they were creating additional rifts while traveling the multiverse; Sloane's female Vulcan crewmember reminds that she did forewarn that she didn't account for the dissipation of additional energy. William comes to the revelation that Sloane's crew weren't the bad guys, but another type of Federation. Curzon asserts that their reality hopping has left castaways like himself stranded from their own realities, causing Sloane to apologize, as she was totally unaware of what she had done.
Suddenly, they are interrupted by a Khwopian guard stabbing his weapon through the bars. Sloane explains that the guard don't like their prisoners conversing, so William hotly demands their release, only to be electrocuted. The guard then drops the bars to snarl at them only to be knocked out by Garak. William quickly introduces their doctor, whom the female Vulcan ask why he was trained in combat. Sudenly, more Khwopians appear but Garak easily defeats them, remarking that old habits die hard. Sloane then proposes they work together to repair their ship so they can all go home. Mariner orders the Kims to roll out, but Lieutenant Kim is visibly bitter.
The group race from the prison to Sloane's ship, the . William says that while her ship is of an older design, the systems should be similar to what they're used to. As they get to work, a panel falls on Curzon's head, causing him to curse. T'Pol offers to take over for him but he accuses her of rubbing his fatigue in his face, which she denies. Inside, Sloane introduces Mariner to the ship's unobserved complex gluon cores that enable their cross-reality travel. Mariner notes that these cores are in bad shape and they would have to hit the gluon cores from outside, so Sloane directs her to an access panel below port stabilizers.
As Mariner runs off, William expresses his disbelief that Sloane wants to visit other realities, which confuses her. Hearing him say that what she does doesn't compare to his definition of exploring strange new worlds, Sloane guesses he thinks her to be stuck in the same place. As William views the multiverse to be a remix of things he already knows, Sloane remarks that Cochrane was of the same mind as him for a while before she helped him see things another way. The two then walk outside while Lieutenant Kim watches them cautiously.
Outside, Sloane explains while it's fun to meet new species, she journeys to other realities to better understand Humanity. She's been to universes where Humans built rings around the Sun or had ships the size of continents, showing how limitless Human potential can be. She then points to Mariner, saying that his friendship with her transcends realities, changing his whole perspective on the multiverse.
Suddenly, the Beagle takes off. Sloane realizes that someone's stealing her ship. With no time to lose, the group race back to the Anaximander, which is still surrounded by hostile Khwopians. Curzon fights them off singlehandedly with his batleth while the others get aboard. Once on the bridge, William hails the Beagle, demanding the hijackers return to the surface. The one who answers his call is Lieutenant Kim, who had tricked his other counterparts into joining him, and is unwilling to let his counterparts return to their respective universes, believing they'd be overlooked and disrespected. Thus he plans to take them back to his own universe where they can rank up. Mariner and Sloane protest they hadn't finished the repairs but Kim refuses to listen, boasting he had two pips before cutting the transmission.
Curzon then arrives on the bridge limping and takes the helm despite T'Pol's concerns. As the Anaximander then takes off with Khwopians futilely trying to shoot it down, Sloane says they have to stop Kim before he crosses into another quantum reality, as without repairs, the Beagle is a bomb that will spread to the entire multiverse. For now, the Beagles safety protocols prevent generating a rift while in a planet's gravity well, but the Anaximander can't catch up at their current speed, so Mariner goes to engineering to juice the engines.
As the Beagle starts falling apart, Lieutenant Kim becomes frustrated with the rift generator failing to respond. One of his counterpart insists he's acting uncharacteristically, leading to a brief argument before the viewscreen announces they're free of the gravity well.
Mariner manages to boost impulse engines by 15% before the Anaximander is struck by debris from the Beagle. However, Lieutenant Kim start generating a rift. T'Pol says they won't catch up in time, so Curzon proposes a micro-warp jump but she says that the tachyon level would cause their engines to overload. Mariner calls from engineering, announcing that the Beagles creating waves of gravitational turbulence, giving her the idea to increase the gravity around the warp core as a tachyon shield so they could go as fast as they want. Despite the risk of her being crushed, Mariner decides to take a page from her prime counterpart and do it anyway, cutting off William when he protests. However, she soon as she initiates the sequence, her body is flattened to the floor by the increased gravity, leaving her incapacitated. Fortunately, Bashir appears, and, being a hologram, is unaffected, allowing him to hit the console, increasing gravity to ten times the normal.
William orders Curzon to make the jump but the elder Trill falls out of his seat. T'Pol catches him, finding a deep cut in his left side ribs, so William orders her to take him to sickbay while he initiates the jump. The Anaximander makes a short jump and catches up to the Beagle. Bashir then hastily shuts off the gravity at Mariner's request.
In sickbay, Garak cauterizes Curzon's wound but says there's nothing else he can do. As he moves onto an unconscious Beagle crewman, Bashir appears and assures his husband he would follow him to any reality. Garak concurs and says he doesn't care where they end up as long as they're together. Surprised, Bashir demands to know why they've been arguing and become upset that Garak was having fun because of it.
On the Beagle, Lieutenant Kim laugh triumphantly only to be knocked out of his chair by one of his counterparts, who insist they transport out. Kim is disappointed they would turn down a better life but his counterparts refuse to follow his plan and start fighting him.
Back in sickbay, a dying Curzon remarks that T'Pol gets a front row seat to his demise. To his confusion, she says she takes no pleasure in seeing one of her friends perish, as she considers him one since the day they met. Curzon confesses they have been friends and turns to the readout of his symbiont, lamenting he'll be Dax's last host. However, T'Pol uses a mind meld to transfer Dax's memories to safeguard them until they return to his reality.
Back on the Beagle, Kim fights off his counterparts, managing to stun one of them. Telling them they're all still ensigns because they're weak, he beams them back to the Anaximander, where they quickly resume their stations.
William tries ordering a tractor beam on the Beagle but a Kim says it's too far. Sloane further objects to opening fire, as it would make the situation worse. He hails Lieutenant Kim again as the Beagle approaches the rift, begging him to stop, but the deranged Kim still refuses to listen and laugh maniacally as the Beagle makes contact with the rift and explodes, destabilizing the rift, sending out a shockwave that violent pushes the Anaximander back. At this moment, T'Pol had completed the memory transfer, though she winces in pain at the amount of katra she had just absorbed. Impressed that she managed to back Dax up, Curzon tells her she's not so bad for a Vulcan with his last breath.
On the bridge, Sloane announces that the unstable rift will spread soliton waves to all quantum reality. The only solution is to use the deflector array, or force beam generator as she refers to it, to use a direct soliton burst to direct the wave into a single reality. Mariner protests dooming an entire reality to be destroyed but Sloane argues that they either lose one or all. William concludes that the prime universe is best suited to respond to the threat and trusts that his duplicate and his friends to save the universe. With reluctant, Mariner fires the soliton beam, saving their current reality. William assures everyone he piggybacked a message to his duplicate and is certain he'll know what to do as long as he doesn't freak out.
The scene shifts back to the Cerritos in the prime universe, where Brad Boimler receives William's message on his PADD, causing to freak out as expected.
'TO BE CONTINUED…
== Log entries ==
"Captain's log, William Boimler of the Anaximander. Stardate, uh, confidential. I've been ordered to find and stop whomever's been trying to destroy the multiverse. But I find my enthusiasm... waning. While I'm not authorized to name the organization that faked my death and sent me diving into rifts, I can talk about my crew of interdimensional castaways. T'Pol, my Vulcan first officer, is an expert on Human emotions after being married to Trip Tucker for decades. My tactical officer is Curzon Dax from a reality where he hasn't yet passed his symbiont to Jadzia. Prone to injury, he's lucky we have Elim Garak, a brilliant Cardassian surgeon. And his husband, an Emergency Medical Hologram based on Dr. Julian Bashir. Everyone on this crew are from totally different realities, but we make a great team."

"Thanks for the save! I thought I was a goner."
"What a surprise. Another Harry Kim."
"What do you mean... another?"
"Most of the crew are Harry Kims."
:- Lt. Harry Kim, William Boimler, and Alternate T'Pol meet
"I'm so sick of the multiverse."
:- William Boimler, fed up with the multiverse
"Wait! EVERYONE SHUT UP! This Kim has TWO PIPS!!!"
"[Shocked Gasps]"
"No. Way."
"You're a full lieutenant?!?'""
"Yeah! Wait... you're all still ensigns?!? That's [bleeped] up!"
:- Various Kims meet Lt. Harry Kim
"Why would someone want to destroy reality?"
"Because they're probably a hacky evil version of someone we all know. A reverse Picard or Borgified Kirk or *bleep* it, I don't know, Human Worf. That's all the multiverse is! Just lazy derivative remixes!"
:- Lt. Harry Kim and William Boimler, discussing the possible reasons for everything
"So these glow sticks are what you use to cross realities?"
"Yeah. Unobserved complex gluon cores."
"Well, you might want to observe a couple because they're [bleeped]"
:- Alternate Mariner and Alternate Lily Sloane
"We don't need to meet new species."
"Okay, then why bother exploring at all?"
"To better understand ourselves. It's fun to learn about aliens, but learning about Humanity, that's something else. I've met Humans who've built rings around the sun. I've met others whose ships are the size of continents. I'm learning about what Humans can be. Mapping our potential. So far, it's limitless."
:- Alternate Lily Sloane, explaining to William Boimler the reason for her mission
"Look at Mariner. Your friendship transcends realities. Trust like that is powerful stuff."

=== Title ===
=== Cast and characters ===
* Jolene Blalock, Andrew J. Robinson, Alexander Siddig, Garrett Wang, and Alfre Woodard reprise their roles as T'Pol, Elim Garak, Julian Bashir, Harry Kim, and Lily Sloane from , , , and .
* Blalock was credited as "Jolene" at her request, according to Mike McMahan. 
=== Continuity ===
* The holographic version of Julian Bashir is likely supposed to be the Long-term Medical Holographic program that Dr. Lewis Zimmerman attempted to make based off of him in before the revelation of Bashir's illegal genetic enhancements brought an end to the project.
* Bashir possesses a mobile emitter identical to that of The Doctor.
* The alternate version of Beckett Mariner mentions that in her universe, Deanna Troi was duplicated in a transporter accident and was then stranded on a planet for years. This mirrors the duplication of William T. Riker and Thomas Riker in .
* Elim Garak appears to be from a reality where he chose to become a surgeon rather than a tailor after leaving the Obsidian Order, displaying the combat skills that he still retains at one point.
* Curzon Dax is from a reality where he's still alive and the host of the symbiont rather than having died and passed Dax onto Jadzia Dax.
* At least some of the Kims, including the two-pip Kim, served on the under Kathryn Janeway. Two of the Kims mention constantly fighting the Borg and aliens trying to steal their organs, meaning that they're still stuck in the Delta Quadrant.
* Some of the dialogue and character backgrounds are very meta with nods to constant critiques and feelings among fans.
** T'Pol is repeatedly mentioned to have been married to Trip Tucker for 63 years, a reference to the well-loved pairing from and the abrupt off-screen end to their relationship and then Tucker's death in , something that many fans were greatly displeased with.
** Harry Kim's constant rank of ensign and his never getting a promotion throughout the entirety of is constantly mentioned with this episode only featuring a single Kim who is not an ensign.
** The Anaximander crew suspects that a major villain is behind the rifts, with William suggesting that it's a "hacky, evil version of someone we all know", referring to the trope that when a major event occurs in Star Trek, there's typically some kind of villain behind it and occasionally, someone or a version of someone already encountered in the Star Trek universe. Instead, it turns out that the crewmembers of the are simply peaceful explorers from another universe who were unaware of the side effects of their quantum reality drive.
** William's exasperation regarding the derivative nature of the people the crew encounters while exploring quantum realities can possibly be interpreted as a nod to the criticism that Lower Decks itself often relies on references to other entries in the franchise. Alternatively, it can be seen as a nod to the criticism of various story and franchise that utilized multiverse as a key element during the 2020s.
** The relationship in this reality between Garak and Dr. Bashir addresses long-standing fan theories that the characters' relationship was gay or bi-coded in . This fan speculation has been tacitly confirmed in interviews by both Andrew Robinson and Alexander Siddig who claim to have played the roles with that in mind. Showrunner Ira Steven Behr went on to all but canonize this interpretation in the DS9 documentary "What We Leave Behind."
