Qi caught a glimpse of himself in the polished glass of his science console. Somehow, his reflection had been stolen and replaced by a stern-looking Vulcan male. He ran a finger over the neatly sculpted goatee, shocked to find that it felt as real as it looked.
“Fascinating,” he mumbled, barely loud enough to be heard by the crew.
His thoughts were jolted back to the present (or rather the past) by Chertstone’s sudden maneuvers. He steadied himself, trying to channel some Vulcan calm. He’d learned quite a bit about the Dominion War while working on a translation matrix for some Gamma quadrant languages. It wasn't a time period that he was eager to visit.
Even as a linguist, the Vulcan language had never held much interest for him. There was beauty to be found in it, but little passion. He’d fallen asleep countless times attempting to read Surak’s Kir’Shara. He much preferred reading Romulan.
Romulan! he thought.
“We should try to get to the wormhole! I’ve read papers that said that Romulan ships decloak when they pass through wormholes because the chronitons emitted by their cloaking devices can generate a temporal dilation effect,” Qi said, running a quick scan on the ship. “We should still be charged with chroniton particles from the anomaly on the race track. If we pass through the wormhole, we might be able to snap back to our proper spacetime position.”

GM Input: Does Qi’s plan sound like it could work? I’m thinking something similar to DS9 “Past Tense” if that wasn’t clear ==
