Excerpt from: Voyager and the Convergence

“That's impossible,” Seven noted after looking through the Asgardian data again.

 

“It's not impossible,” the Doctor said.

 

“What is it?” Janeway asked.

 

“Interdimensional disturbances, Captain.” Seven answered.

 

“A device that caused a multiversial merge when activated,” the Doctor explained. “Only it does so gradually.”

Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

“But I did do a degree at Oxford before going to Starfleet Academy.”

 

“So, Oxford will be familiar?” Lawson asked.

 

“In some ways,” Hernadez answered. “But there would be a lot of differences between the 20th and 24th Century versions. Exactly four hundred years...”

“What about the 5%?”

 

“Of those, 4/5ths have no equivalent in our universe. The remaining 1/5th is anachronistic by comparison, having been developed up to 25 years early,” Lu answered.

 

“That's an interesting divergence,” Emmerson mused.

Excerpt from: The Enterprise Wasn’t There

He took out a tricorder. “The readings seem to be diffuse, but are centred on a salt marsh to the south,” he reported.
