• Dal records the stardate as 61945.4

”You hear that, Grom? Let’s cut the chitchat and concentrate.” Much her fellow Lurian, Morn, the Nova Squadron cadet has the gift of the gab.

• The Nova Squadron cadets are practicing a maneuver called the Boothby Supernova, named for the venerable Starfleet Academy groundskeeper, who perished in such a maneuver, as per “In the Flesh”.

• The Doctor informs Zero that their organic body cannot sustain much more damage without ceasing to function altogether. Zero was informed their body would break down if they left Ovidia IV in “Is There in Beauty No Truth?”

    • The Doctor claims they’ll be able to make Zero a new body, and thanks to recent developments, that body will be able to experience physical sensation. In “Return to Tomorrow” the crew of the USS Enterprise was working to build android bodies for the Arretans, but those bodies would not be able to feel.

”It’s not every day you meet a version of yourself from the future.” Admiral Janeway and Chakotay discuss their meeting the alternate timeline future Admiral Janeway in “Endgame”.

    • Chakotay claims that the events of “Endgame” were his and Janeway’s last day together aboard the *USS Voyager”.

    • Chakotay states that the alternate future Janeway provided them with the designs for the uniforms from her timeline, in a flagrant disregard for the temporal prime directive.

• Admiral Jellico claims that Starfleet is spread too thin by the Romulan evacuation, which we learned about in “Remembrance”, and the damage from the Living Construct, as seen in “Supernova, Part II”. He also mentions that A500 androids are *“barely keeping member worlds going.”; the A500s will be used by the Zhat Vash to attack Mars, as seen in “Children of Mars” and “Maps and Legends”.

• Jellico informs Janeway and company that ”The Department of Temporal Investigations will handle the rest.” The Department of Temporal Investigations were introduced in “Trials and Tribble-ations”.

”It’s been a long road, Admiral. Maybe it’s time our journey finally ends.” Chakotay references both the theme for ENT and Wesley Crusher’s final TNG episode, “Journey’s End” in a single sentence.

    • I did think they milked it a bit much when he followed it up with, ”We have to respect the chain of command. I wouldn’t want to let this be our last battlefield, because the butcher’s knife cares not for the lamb’s cry. It is truly a fistful of Datas.” That last bit doesn’t even make sense.

• Ascencia sends a Vau N’Akat starship called the Rev-1 after the USS Voyager A. The Diviner’s starship in season one was the Rev-12. The Rev-1 is a different spaceframe, presumably owing to the advanced technology Ascencia has acquired.

• ”Voyager’s draining more juice than a dikironium cloud creature.” Too soon, Jankom! A dikironium cloud creature was responsible for the deaths of 200 people aboard the USS Faragut, as we learned in “Obsession”.

• The mark-2 Nova Flyers were designed by Tom Paris. Paris designed the Delta Flyer in “Extreme Risk”.

    • Interesting that Paris would name this new ship the Nova Flyer, when Tom Paris was never in Nova Squadron, and any similarities between himself and actual members of Nova Squadron is purely coincidental.

To shreds, you say.
