Officially, this is the 34th time that the Bajoran Wormhole has randomly relocated to new coordinates throughout the galaxy – 63 times, if you count all exit points. This time, however, the main terminus (the one that I was assigned to help explore, as a pilot aboard the runabout USS Liberty) has returned to the Bajor System. The Enterprise crew took the opportunity to activate our untested stabilization protocols, and it looks like we have successfully anchored the wormhole at its original coordinates. As long as we maintain our gravimetric fields, generated at two of the three ends of the wormhole, it looks like we’re finally here to stay.
And, yes, you read that correctly, this Bajoran Wormhole has THREE exit points, one here in the Bajor System, a second in the distant Gamma Quadrant, and a third deep in the Delta Quadrant, near the space of a species known as the Krenim. The Enterprise has separated, with the saucer section parked in the Alpha Quadrant, holding the Bajoran terminus in place (via a generated gravimetric field), and the stardrive section parked in the Gamma Quadrant, holding that end of the wormhole in place. The Delta Quadrant end of the wormhole is stable on its own.
If we stop anchoring the Bajoran Wormhole in place, it will disappear, and may never again return to its present coordinates. In short, we’re holding the doors open. If there is any value to this wormhole, then both sections of the Enterprise won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
As previously noted, this Bajoran Wormhole also appears to have temporal qualities. From our end, the Enterprise has been trapped inside the wormhole for 57 days. However, a total of 155 days have passed outside of the wormhole. We cannot account for this discrepancy, although, it does seem to be consistent with the temporal nature of the Devron Anomaly that sent us here.
To date, we have not encountered any alien entities – temporal or otherwise – inside this wormhole, so the entire thing appears to be a naturally-occurring phenomena.
Now that we’re back in the Alpha Quadrant, my runabout piloting assignment has ended, and I can resume my daily operations in the Public Affairs Office. I miss my desk. There is a great deal more to say about our unique experiences, and our present circumstances, but I will have to save those things for future posts. Right now, it’s just good to be home.
