The Pleroma explodes with the USS Theseus barely managing to stay ahead of the shockwave. Dr. Beverly Crusher, still in command, directs Tom to fly through the Guardian of Forever. As the ship begins to break apart from the strain T'Lir uses his powers to restore shields. Meanwhile, Benjamin Sisko speaks to his mother. He attempts to use his 'Prophet' abilities to lead the ship to safety. The Theseus emerges... in fluidic space.
A lot going on in this issue, what with the universe seeming to crumble around our crew. This is the second time (that I'm aware of at least) we've seen a ship fly through the Guardian of Forever, the first was a TOS shuttle in a fan film. Again, I'll say I wish Scotty had more to do. At times it feels like TOS characters like Scotty and Spock in Defiant have little to do but serve a specific function. After all this back and forth I do wonder where exactly Sisko will end up. Will he return with his mother? Will he see his family again?
seven out of ten.
