When the Defiant passes through an energy barrier, the crew is greeted by their descendants, the result of an anomaly which caused the Defiant to crash on a planet, 200 years back in time. The crew must choose whether to let themselves be stranded and allow Kira to die, or to wipe out the existence of the colony. CREDITS SCREENCAPS SCRIPT SYNOPSIS
