TIMESCAPE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK

Sep 30, C. This was a great installment for the series, but I only gave three stars because Liparulo got too religious for a bit. While the family's religious preferences are clear in the first three books, in Timescape, the author includes an entire section where the brothers question their religion and discuss it with each other. While the boys are at the right age to start questioning these things, it was handled awkwardly. It seemed to be plopped in for no reason and pulled me out of the Dreamhouse This was a great installment for the series, but I only gave three stars because Liparulo got too religious for a bit. It seemed to be plopped in for no reason and pulled me out of the Dreamhouse world. It didn't seem to add anything to the story at all. Beyond that there are the usual complaints of Xander's immaturity and constant insubordination without consequence and the sexist way they all the men in the family treat the daughter. But those have not so far taken away from the good of the story too much. Hopefully the remaining two books will not include such weird proselytizing. Dec 15, LeeAnn rated it really liked it. So, one of the strange and amazing things about my library is that we don't always have every book in a series. In fact, sometimes we have just book one -- or in this case, just book four. For me, then, the story began already in full swing! I had to pick up background on the characters as I was reading, and grab former plot points as current plot points flew by. And that was the most amazing part of this book, to me: it FLEW! The reader certainly has no time to get bored -- or to set the book So, one of the strange and amazing things about my library is that we don't always have every book in a series. The reader certainly has no time to get bored -- or to set the book down. Considering that this was book four, and I started the series here, I love the characters and how interwoven into the crazy plot the characters' love for family is. That is the strength of this book, for me. Yes, it's quite action-packed. But the best part is the characters' connection to family. Well done. Oct 21, Kris rated it really liked it Shelves: adventure , young-adult. The action that was lacking in the previous books is definitely here in this fourth part of the Dreamhouse Kings series. The King family run headlong from one crisis to another; the bad guys attack them in their own house; the boys and their father nearly get killed by the natives in the future; they nearly drown escaping from the capsizing Titanic and almost get slaughtered by Viking berserkers. We find out more about the history of the house itself, and about the King family's ancestors. And The action that was lacking in the previous books is definitely here in this fourth part of the Dreamhouse Kings series. And the book ends with excellent cliffhangers for both Xander and David! More time traveling and looking for Mom. Jesse has been hurt and might not make it. Dad continues to let the kids run wild making bad decisions bad parenting. They decide to follow Taksidian to see where he lives and who he talks to. Dad ends up trailing him in the car while the boys stay back to break in a house. As expected, it turns out bad. Sep 16, Aaron rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy , ya. Another solid installment in the series, a very fast pace that picks up exactly where book 3 ended. Xander is still an annoying protagonist, making more and more reckless and unbelievable choices. I'm pretty invested at this point to see where the story goes so I will continue. It was ok not good but ok. I didn't really think these books are for me. And I was right. Jan 27, Karen rated it really liked it. Seriously, why did I think this was the last one?

Or even making strides torwards finding her. Final Rating: 4. I'm so glad I didn't give up on this series, this book was definitely my favorite of all of them! They started out pretty low, but as I expected they've perked up as the books go on. Only 2 more left! Whenever I think about this series in general after I finish one of the books, I feel myself grunting and thinking of how I'm trying to get it over and done with so I can move on. It's weird, I know. This book kept me on Final Rating: 4. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I mean, you know that none of the Kings are going to die, there are 2 more books about the series and this series isn't the type that would kill off any of the main characters. Either way, though, it's fast-paced and exciting and leaves you wanting to flip to the back of the book to find out what happens. I didn't do that, as I read it on my Kindle, but trust me I wanted to. Especially towards the end. I feel like the series really didn't start until this book, the 4th book, because the others were a bit the usual and we weren't learning much, just meeting new characters. THIS one, however, holds no new characters. It's them actually getting something done. What amazes me is how all of these things are occurring in the time span of a FEW days. Like, whoa. Every day is like half a book, haha. I just really wish this series wasn't so long. If it was a trilogy, I would probably like it a LOT more. But I just hate having to pay 10 bucks for a little book that's about pages, and there are 6 books in the series. Anyways, about the content of the book. There were a few parts that I found unbelievably cheesy, but other than that it was good! I usually don't list every single thing that irked me about the book when it's the middle of a series, so I may be missing some things, but I'm rating it a good ole' 4. I really don't need to complain much, seeing as the book was pretty darn good. Sometimes, though, the Kings could be so dumb. Haha, when view spoiler [ they followed Taksidian at the end, and David said he felt a sense of deja vu and that something wasn't right, I was like. He probably knows they're tailing him! I finished this book in less than one day, seeing as I started it in the afternoon and it's 2am now. I feel a bit unfair, rating it only 4. And I'm not a huge fan of the series in general either, but this book made it look a lot better, in my opinion. Oct 08, Lori Twichell rated it it was amazing. Were back again. In the house thats haunting the King family. Not really haunting maybe. It feels more like hunting. When we last left our favorite family, they were all in mortal danger. Liparulo is really good at that and I still have two more books to go. Ive got to wonder what could possibly come after this. First I suppose I should start with the opening page of the book. So, as I was saying, when we last left our favorite family, they were all in mortal danger. The boys, dad and Keal were all in the future world where they discovered everything was not peaceful or quiet. And time yes somewhere, somehow time became a character in and of itself decided Grandma was not where she belonged and needed to go back into the house. But he handles it was such grace that he allows the characters to address the craziness of their situation. At one point in this book, David is mourning the loss of his favorite shoes in the Civil War. I love this. This helped me settle back into a balance where I could continue enjoying the adventures. In this book, we learn a lot about how the house works, where it came from and how to deal with time, but there are still a lot of questions. How does the house work? How do you get back to specific worlds? There are no missteps here. Questions are posed but answers are given. We leave our favorite family in much the same element of danger with uniquely different circumstances. Review copies provided by Thomas Nelson. This guy is an original, with a limitless imagination and masterful writing, Mr Robert Liparulo knows his horror stories, and is good at telling it. Kudos to you! After reading the previous book Gatekeepers , I immediately opened and started reading this and it's really classic I felt the biting cold of the arctic ocean and I have to admit I found constant - am I coming This guy is an original, with a limitless imagination and masterful writing, Mr Robert Liparulo knows his horror stories, and is good at telling it. I felt the biting cold of the arctic ocean and I have to admit I found constant - am I coming or what until one steps through a portal and the other follows - quite repetitive. I'm not saying it's boring, it's quite the opposite because my nerves couldn't take it sometimes. Everything that happens is suspenseful, unpredictable and always leaves me breathless. With the things that are happening, Xander is still focused on rescuing Mom, and for him it's all about doing something, and doing it now. Dad, David, and Keal all agree that if they're going through with the rescue mission, that they should do it right. Keal's presence somewhat gives me a reprieve from the more fatal portals Xander and David traverse. Finding the family mascot, "Bob" in the Titanic gives me hope. I know the main characters are very young but with the experiences they had, it seems like they really aged, and in a short span of time their perspectives changed. Their mission is always getting sidetracked by the main villain, Taksidian, former assassin who wants them out and wants them dead. He gives me the creeps and the way the author wrote this story, I felt like I was traveling with them through time, like a shadow. It's all vivid, like watching a movie and that's what I love about this series, it doesn't get old. I suggest for the reader to begin with Watcher in the Woods and read this in order, because the novels aren't standalone. Another suggestion is to have all the books on hand immediately because NOT the end is quite frustrating. Jesse is out of the picture for a while and I like his mystic charm. I also love how the story revolves around a family and how Xander realized that he just doesn't love David because they're brothers, but because he actually likes David, they did stuff together. Keal felt bonded immediately with the King family because of a shared unique experience. The violence and gore aren't really for younger kids, and with the rate things are going, it's a miracle Xander and David aren't in a hospital. Again, it's their will to live and find their Mom that keeps them going. David loves life too much. Sep 14, Brennen Turner rated it it was amazing. This is the fourth book in the Dreamhouse King's Series, I have loved every one so far. Reading has never been a hobby of mine, but this series really gets my attention and keeps my reading. Same as the previous two books, the search is still on for their lost mother. They manage to recover their grandma who had been lost in a portal, in their magical house many years before the King Family moved to their home. It turns out their Dad used to live in the house, and has brought them back to This is the fourth book in the Dreamhouse King's Series, I have loved every one so far. It turns out their Dad used to live in the house, and has brought them back to secretly find his mother. During the night, they catch him in their house. They attempt to catch him, but he fleas with no trace of entry. Ed, their father has been the leader, but this time, Xander and David take over the search. David ends up trying various portals, but somehow ends up on the Titanic which happened several years ago , hence the name Timescape. Time travel is possible, which I strongly dislike, as this book seems to be more realistic fiction. However, overall this book is still a great as its a very interesting, fast paced, and easy read. The entire time I was having a hard time putting the book down, as it is full of momentum and plot twists. This book and the other books in the series ends with a cliffhanger, which makes you want to read the next. Trust me, give this book a try, but of course after reading the first three books! Aug 07, Annette rated it it was amazing. This series of books is really exciting! Timescape is book 4 in the series. I highly recommend its reading. The general premise of the entire story is this: The King family, a father, mother and three children, moves into a house in Northern California and they discover the house has a secret. There is a myterious third floor with a central hallway and doors lining the hallway on both sides. These doors are portals to other time periods in our world, all to the past save one. These past times are This series of books is really exciting! These past times are treacherous and potentially deadly. But the King family goes forth through these doors. They must. For they are looking for their mother who was taken from them on one of the first nights they spent in the house. They saw her abducted by a giant of a man who took her through one of the portal doors and now they must search for her What a compelling story. From the first chapter all the way throught book 4. It has been very exciting, scary, adventurous, thrilling and terrifying. The reading of it at times is excruciating because I can't turn the pages fast enough! Pick up the first book The House of Dark Shadows and hang on for the read of your life!!! Mar 19, Mal rated it really liked it Shelves: library. This series had gone from Young Adult horror to fantasy within the first book, and the second book was rather disappointing. It seems redundant at times, but this book caught me by surprise. It's mostly the ending that got to me, and a certain scene with Jesse somewhere in the middle, but despite it's close relation to all the others before it, it was written far better. The story is finally getting somewhere and the portals they go through are actually really cool. They all seem to have a This series had gone from Young Adult horror to fantasy within the first book, and the second book was rather disappointing. They all seem to have a purpose for going through instead of the same-old 'because we need to find Mom reason'. The action was a little drawn out, but not to a point where it overrode the plot line and left you rolling your eyes. This book didn't feel much like young adult, especially with the lack of romance thank goodness, I'm really sick of it. It boardered on a children's series had it not been so bloody. However the last chapter left my eyes wide and mouth hanging down to the floor. I was throughly stunned. That left chills up and down my arms: yikes. The key attributes of this implementation involve the enumeration of clones, their evolutionary relationships and their shifting dynamics over time. TimeScape requires two inputs: i the clonal phylogeny and ii the clonal prevalences. Optionally, TimeScape accepts a data table of targeted mutations observed in each clone and their allele prevalences over time. The output is the TimeScape plot showing clonal prevalence vertically, time horizontally, and the plot height optionally encoding tumour volume during tumour-shrinking events. At each sampling time point denoted by a faint white line , the height of each clone accurately reflects its proportionate prevalence. These prevalences form the anchors for bezier curves that visually represent the dynamic transitions between time points.

Timescape by Gregory Benford

La Forge notices that Troi is somewhat shaken by something and asks her if something is wrong. She isn't sure. While La Forge scans Picard and the counselor with a medical tricorder, Troi recalls what has happened, but she can't explain the event. La Forge's tricorder scans turn up inconclusive. If something did happen to them, no residual traces were left. Also, Data's memory showed no pause at the time when he froze. Furthermore, since Data's internal chronometer and the computer are perfectly synchronized, there appears to be no temporal discrepancy, but La Forge suggests running a ship-wide diagnostic to see if there was anything that they missed. Data agrees and goes with La Forge to the runabout cockpit. Picard asks Troi to describe exactly what happened when they appeared to freeze. She does so, adding that she was probably just tired and imagining things. In the blink of an eye, however, she too is now frozen and surrounded by all three officers. Troi jumps up in surprise, notices La Forge scanning her and asks what happened. Data explains that she appeared to be motionless for just over three minutes — much like she had described the other three previously. La Forge then finds something unusual on the tricorder — the two scans of Troi were taken twenty-three minutes apart, but, according to her rate of cellular decay, she has only aged twenty minutes. Picard asks what could account for the discrepancy, but La Forge does not know. He states that it was as if time stopped for three minutes for the counselor. The captain is unwilling to take any more risks. He orders Data to contact the Enterprise , telling Riker to come to the rendezvous point as soon as possible to scan the anomalies. La Forge leaves to check the sensor logs. Data reports that the Enterprise is not answering the hail because the flagship is beyond sensor range; Picard orders an increase in speed to reach the rendezvous coordinates more quickly. While Data and La Forge are piloting the runabout, Data reads that there is an engine failure which makes the ship violently jolt and veer to the right. The starboard warp nacelle has just stopped, so Data restores attitude control and brings the runabout to a stop. La Forge is surprised to report that the starboard antimatter pod has been completely drained, since there is no leak and all of the other engine systems are fully operational. Data believes that he has an explanation for the sudden depletion of fuel — the plasma conversion sensor says that the starboard engine has apparently been in continuous operation for forty-seven days — far longer than the crew had been away for the conference. Since this is something that should have been impossible, La Forge checks the sensor while Picard goes into the crew cabin to check the fuel consumption logs. While in the cabin, the captain notices something unusual: the fruit in the bowl on the table which was fresh minutes ago is now rotten. He innocently reaches with his right hand to touch it, but before he can he screams in agony and pulls his hand immediately away. The three other officers run in to the cabin, reacting to the captain's yell. Picard sits in a chair holding his shaking right hand which has long fingernails that appear to have been growing for several weeks. Troi scans his hand with a tricorder and says that the metabolism in his hand has increased by nearly fifty times. The pain in his hand soon subsides. Data looks at the fruit and performs a scan with his tricorder. The android reports that there is a temporal disturbance, roughly spherical in shape, that intersects with the table. Time within this disturbance passes fifty times more quickly than normal. The disturbance reaches out to seventeen meters in space — covering the starboard nacelle, explaining why the runabout 's supply of antimatter was drained. A final look at the fruit shows that it has completely disintegrated into dust. Picard orders La Forge to try and pilot the runabout away from the disturbance. He and Data manage to do so, but they are soon stopped by another disturbance that has appeared directly behind them. La Forge reads his console and calls the captain in. The sensors show that the runabout is surrounded by dozens of disturbances of different sizes where time appears to be passing at different rates — almost as if the space-time continuum had been shattered into fragments. The fragmentation effect increases along the course of the rendezvous coordinates with the Enterprise. There is a somewhat ominous pause before Picard asks if they can navigate around the fragments. They can, but only at half impulse power. They set a course to the rendezvous coordinates. The runabout arrives at the rendezvous coordinates, but there is no sign of the Enterprise. La Forge reads a faint, possibly metallic, signature with negligible power levels. The runabout makes its way to the signature, but the fragmentation effect increases, so the runabout must slow further to compensate. They look though the front window and the moment turns to shock — the Enterprise and a Romulan warbird appear to be in the midst of a battle. Furthermore, the warbird seems to have fired at the Enterprise but the disruptor beam is frozen in mid-blast. Both the Enterprise and the Romulan warbird have been caught in another one of the temporal fragments and all of the fragments converge at this particular point in space, so it is likely that this is the center of the disturbances. Picard orders a scan for life signs , but Data finds that sensors cannot penetrate the subspace field and he is unable to scan inside of either vessel. The Enterprise has taken some damage to its saucer section and port nacelle from disruptor fire but the Romulan warbird appears to have suffered no damage, suggesting that it decloaked and opened fire before the Enterprise could respond with their weapons. There is also a second energy beam, coming from the Enterprise 's navigational deflector. It is impossible to tell what the beam is for from a mere visual inspection but it is aimed at the engineering section of the warbird. The crew of the runabout cannot work out what has happened between the two ships from their current location and Picard suggests transporting over to the Enterprise but Data advises against it as each time that they were exposed to one of the temporal fragments, they were integrated into its time frame; if they were to beam over to the Enterprise , they, too, would become frozen in time and unable to work out the situation. Picard thinks to himself and asks La Forge if using a subspace isolation field similar to one used on Devidia II would protect them from the effects of the temporal fragments. TNG : " Time's Arrow " La Forge replies in the positive but they would need a very sensitive phase discriminator to modulate such a force field. Data points out that the subspace emitters in the emergency transporter armbands could be modified to produce the desired effect as they contain a type 7 phase discriminator — a sensitive enough discriminator. However for the crew to be able to interact with the environment on board the Enterprise the field would have to be restricted to an almost skin-tight fit. La Forge and Data begin their modifications to the armbands and La Forge also channels communications through the subspace relays in them so they can remain in continuous communication. Picard, Data and Troi wear armbands while La Forge remains on the runabout where he'll monitor them. As he activates the field, Troi falls and Data promptly catches her feeling dizzy due to the small pocket of time being placed around them. La Forge beams the three directly to the bridge of the Enterprise. The three officers materialize on the Enterprise 's bridge and Picard is disturbed by what he sees. Three Romulans are present, all armed with disuptors and one sitting at the conn. The bridge has sustained moderate damage and Commander Riker has been knocked to the deck with a Romulan standing over him. Although none of the consoles function, objects in the time frame can be moved and the console at Ops reads that there is a massive power surge coming from main engineering. Picard moves to tactical and reads from the console that security teams have been dispatched to both transporter room three and sickbay. Picard tells Data to go to main engineering to determine the cause of the power surge and for Troi to go to sickbay while he will go to transporter room three. Picard orders La Forge to transport the three of them to their respective destinations but he advises against it due to the power drain imposed both by the transporters and the subspace fields. Picard understands and the three go to their destinations through the Jefferies tubes. Troi makes her way to sickbay and finds several Romulans and medical and security staff all looking at a central point, and when she turns to see the center of attention, she is horrified to see that Dr. Crusher has been hit by a disruptor blast at point blank range; should the time frame return to normal, there is no way that she can survive. Troi runs out in shock but after she exits the room, a Romulan woman blinks and looks around, somewhat relieved that she was not spotted. Captain Picard walks into transporter room three and sees three Romulans on the transporter pad, all unarmed. Take over the lotus without being caught!

In Timescape , Jackie O. Benford's novel immediately became a darling for the literary mainstream and science fiction genres alike when it was published in Sci-fi fans admire Benford's realistic portrayal of the work scientists undergo to make their life-changing discoveries, both in the lab and on the theoretical front. Literature fans appreciate how Benford complicates the pursuit of scientific truth with characters who struggle with human drama such as commitment, family obligations, and dinner parties. Lots and lots of dinner parties. Campbell Memorial awards. And later, it went on to be added to several best of science fiction lists , including famed editor David Pringle's Science Fiction : The Best Novels. People just can't seem to get over this book. While no movie has been made, and Benford hasn't written a sequel, the novel stands just fine by itself, continuing to be a shining example of a time travel story done right. Seriously—when we read this book, it didn't humiliate itself even once. Anyone who has done their time in a high school knows this scenario: You're in physics class, finally freestyling on that whole second law of thermodynamics jazz, when suddenly the bell rings, and you're whisked away to English class. If you only went by school rules, you'd think that subjects like politics, science, and literature never influence each other. If you prefer beakers to bylaws, then get a master's in chemistry, and you'll never have to consider another Supreme Court case for all of your days. Likewise, study literary theory and you can finally rescue all those poor letters from their equation prisons and return them to books from whence they came. But as you've probably figured out, life doesn't work out quite so neatly. Instead, the different disciplines we study in school tend to muddle and mix together pretty much the moment we leave the classroom. Enter Timescape. Absent are the bug-eyed monsters and laser-gun toting scientists of so many other sci-fi experiences, and in their place, we have data and laboratories and cups of stale coffee. And along with these ordinary scientists and their ordinary accessories come real-world problems. Think: politics, communication, and personal relationships. It's like every part of high school rolled into one. So as much as this book is about science and sci-fi scenarios, it's also about navigating the hot mess that is life—a.

Three Romulans are present, all armed with disuptors and one sitting at the conn. The bridge has sustained moderate damage and Commander Riker has been knocked to the deck with a Romulan standing over him. Although none of the consoles function, objects in the time frame can be moved and the console at Ops reads that there is a massive power surge coming from main engineering. Picard moves to tactical and reads from the console that security teams have been dispatched to both transporter room three and sickbay. Picard tells Data to go to main engineering to determine the cause of the power surge and for Troi to go to sickbay while he will go to transporter room three. Picard orders La Forge to transport the three of them to their respective destinations but he advises against it due to the power drain imposed both by the transporters and the subspace fields. Picard understands and the three go to their destinations through the Jefferies tubes. Troi makes her way to sickbay and finds several Romulans and medical and security staff all looking at a central point, and when she turns to see the center of attention, she is horrified to see that Dr. Crusher has been hit by a disruptor blast at point blank range; should the time frame return to normal, there is no way that she can survive. Troi runs out in shock but after she exits the room, a Romulan woman blinks and looks around, somewhat relieved that she was not spotted. Captain Picard walks into transporter room three and sees three Romulans on the transporter pad, all unarmed. He then walks over to the transporter console, being manned by Worf, and Troi walks in, still stunned by Dr. Crusher's imminent death. He tells Troi that Worf just beamed three Romulans over and another three to sickbay but he is confused as to why Romulans are being beamed aboard in the middle of a battle and why the Romulans are unarmed. Troi interrupts the captain and informs him of what she has just seen in sickbay and Data calls Picard asking that he and Troi come to engineering immediately — it is urgent. As Picard and Troi arrive in engineering, Picard asks what the problem is. Data replies saying that he has found the cause of the power surge — a warp core breach is in progress. The core breach is at its flash point a large, motionless cloud has formed from the warp core but it is also expanding. Picard is confused and thought that time was suspended but Data has determined that time is moving but at an almost immeasurably slow rate and that they failed to realize this because their first conclusion was merely based on the observations of the crew, but a warp core breach moves at a substantially faster rate than any other event on the ship. Data then says that based on the rate of the cloud's expansion that it will destroy the Enterprise in nine hours and seventeen minutes. With concern for his ship, Picard asks what can be done to stop the breach but unfortunately it is no longer a matter of stopping the breach as it has already occurred and the fact that it is moving so slowly changes nothing. Picard studies the breach in astonishment while Troi asks Data what caused the breach. Data does not know but the consoles in engineering reveal that the Enterprise was performing a power transfer to the Romulan warbird at the moment that time slowed down. Troi wonders why the Enterprise would be sending power to the Romulans and Data suggests going over to the Romulan ship to find out but Picard suddenly bursts into laughter and Data and Troi turn to see what he finds so amusing. The captain has just drawn a smiley face in the cloud but he stops laughing and falls back in to the wall behind him — something is very wrong. Data and Troi rush over to him and Picard says that he feels dizzy and starts laughing again but as Data reaches for him, Picard pulls away and panics uncontrollably. Troi calls La Forge to beam them back to the runabout immediately. Picard looking exhausted , Data, and Troi are back on the runabout while La Forge checks Picard's armband with his scanner. He realizes that the captain wasn't completely protected from the effects of the other time frame and Data compares what Picard experienced with nitrogen narcosis , similar to deep sea divers who experience nitrogen narcosis. Nothing more can be done to give better protection from the time frame and La Forge suggests limiting the time they spend on each trip and always staying together. The next course of action is to find out why the Enterprise was transferring power over to the Romulan warbird and Picard wants to begin the search in the engine room of the warbird and asks for Troi's input, as she spent several days on a Romulan warbird previously TNG : " Face of the Enemy " but he feels dizzy again and Troi suggests that he stay on board the runabout and have La Forge go instead. Picard reluctantly agrees but allows them to go for no more than ten minutes. When Data, La Forge, and Troi materialize in the Romulan engine room, Troi points La Forge over to a power utilization monitor that he'd find of use, then she and Data walk over to another monitor where Data finds something peculiar — the crew is not at battle stations but rather at evacuation alert. La Forge calls them over and tells them that there is an energy feedback in the power transfer beam and that it was probably what overloaded the warp engines of the Enterprise , causing the warp core breach. Data considers that the Romulans caused the feedback to destroy the Enterprise but La Forge does not believe so — the console suggests that they were trying to stop the power transfer. Troi realizes that the more they learn, the less that the situation looks like a Romulan attack. La Forge suggests looking at their engine power output but Data says that the engine core is completely inactive — something that should be impossible as the Romulans use an artificial quantum singularity as the power source on D'deridex -class vessels; once it has been activated, it cannot be shut down. La Forge opens the hatch of the engine core for a closer look. He looks inside and believes that he has found the cause of the problem. There is a vortex within the singularity with several dark spots inside it. As Data scans the vortex with a tricorder he reveals that it is a focused aperture in the space-time continuum. Its energy signature matches that of the temporal fragments that they encountered previously but it is more than a million times more intense and it is likely to be the origin of the temporal fragmentation. The dark spots within the aperture produce complex bio-electric patterns, possibly those of a life form, but before Data can make further observations the aperture fluctuates. As it fluctuates, the time frame returns to normal, the Romulan officers speak and walk between stations, and pay no attention to the Starfleet officers. He wonders who they are and what's going on before cautiously hiding in a corner. As the time returns to normal speed, Picard sees from the runabout's viewport the Enterprise explode from the warp core breach. Suddenly time reverses and the Enterprise comes back together. Back on the Romulan warbird, the Romulan officers' actions are going in reverse then they stop at the exact same point before the aperture fluctuated. Moments later, the three officers are speaking to Captain Picard through the com and Data believes that the emissions from his tricorder caused the activation of the aperture and advises against any further exposure. He adds that the Romulans were trying to eject their engine core. Troi adds that there was some sort of energy feedback and La Forge believes that they were trying to stop the feedback in any way they could. La Forge goes to read one of the engineering consoles to try to determine what was happening on the bridge but he notices something unusual. He quickly realizes that a Romulan the same Romulan who noticed them when time briefly returned to normal is in a space that was empty before, but when he asks Data if he was always there, the Romulan suddenly attacks La Forge and they both fall backwards onto the floor. Data and Troi run over to La Forge who is now dying from neural shock but there is too little time to take him back to the runabout to treat him. Troi removes his armband to slow down the neural shock and integrate La Forge into the timeframe, so they can save him later. She asks Data if the Romulan is alive, but after scanning him Data says that he is alive, but he is not sure that the man is a Romulan. On board the runabout, Picard, Data, and Troi are standing around one of the beds in the cabin, on which the "Romulan" alien is lying unconscious. Data's scan of the alien show that his cellular structure does not conform to any known species and that his bio-electric patterns are in a state of temporal flux. He doubts that the alien is native to their time continuum. Picard asks to see Data's readings of the organic matter that he found inside the aperture. Picard and Data look at a bio-spectral analysis of the aperture on the monitor and find that the bio-electric patterns of the organic matter are similar to those of the alien on the bed but they are much less complex and that the cellular structures of the organic matter are in a state of cellular mitosis — it may be an embryo. The alien awakens and Picard asks him who he is. The alien replies saying that he assumed the body of the Romulan in order to survive in this time continuum but he struggles to speak. He adds that he has come to this time continuum to save their young that are trapped inside the artificial "gravity well" and that they are dying — the alien is referring to the Romulan engine core but as he speaks, his body starts to phase and Data scans him finding that his molecular structure is destabilizing. Picard asks how the alien's young became trapped inside the singularity. Your Name required. Your Email required. Your Phone required. Your Message. Skip to content.
