[Admiral Paris inspects the MIDAS Array in the wake of Lt Barclay's rebellion]
[to Commander Harkins] You've put me in a difficult position, son. I was hoping that we'd be able to-
We're receiving a transmission.
From where?
Coordinates 343.6 by 27.
The wormhole.
[cuts in audio] Starfleet Command. Come in.
[soft voice] Voyager.
Reg, give me a hand clearing up the signal. [Paris gestures Barclay to do it]
Lower the filter band by 0.3 kilohertz.
This is Capt. Kathryn Janeway, do you read me?
[to Barclay] I think she's talking to you.
Captain, this is Lt. Reginald Barclay at Starfleet Command.
It's good to hear your voice, Lieutenant. We've been waiting a long time for this moment.
The feeling is mutual. Unfortunately, the micro-wormhole is collapsing. We have only a few moments.
Understood. [signals Tuvok] We're transmitting our ship's logs, crew reports, and navigational records to you now.
Acknowledged. And we're sending you data on some new hypersubspace technology. We're hoping eventually to use it to keep in regular contact, and we're including some recommended modifications for your comm system.
We'll implement them as soon as possible.
There's someone else here who would also like to say something.
This is Admiral Paris.
Hello, sir.
How are your people holding up?
Very well. They're an exemplary crew. Your son included.
Tell him... Tell him I miss him. And I'm proud of him.
He heard you, Admiral.
The wormhole is collapsing..
I want you all to know we're doing everything we can to bring you home.
We appreciate it, sir. Keep a docking bay open for us. We hope to see you - [signal is cut]
That's it. They're gone.
You did it, Reg. I'm sorry I doubted you.
[Barclay looks crestfallen.]
Why the long face, Mr. Barclay?
Because... because it's over, sir.
No, Lieutenant. I'd say that "Project: Voyager" is just beginning. Thanks to you.
