Relativity

Missing Scenes

This episode is one of a number in season five which were filmed for a broadcast length of approximately 44 minutes, but which were transmitted in edited form by UPN in order to slice two minutes off the running time. The transcripts below are of the scenes and scene fragments that are missing from that UPN broadcast, based on a comparison between the first airing on UPN and the full version of the episode. Please note that an entirely different set of cuts may have been made on subsequent repeats of the episode by UPN, and that syndication reruns seem to be showing the episodes intact.

Dialogue shown in italic type is only included in the full version of the episode. Dialogue shown in normal type is in both versions. Scene start timings are approximate, rounded up or down to the nearest minute, and are based on the UK PAL broadcast format (25 frames per second).

Corridor/Engineering. 8 minutes.

[I wish Starfleet would give me more than three weeks.] [Main Engineering. Class 9 warp drive. Tricyclic input manifold.] [You'll be the first to test it in deep space.]

Five years earlier, at the Utopia Planitia shipyards, Janeway is still taking the grand tour of her new ship with Admiral Patterson.

Janeway:	I wish Starfleet would give me more than three weeks. With a little more time we could really explore the Badlands.
Patterson:	You haven't changed a bit.

They enter Engineering.

Patterson:	Main Engineering. Class 9 warp drive. Tricyclic input manifold. You'll be the first to test it in deep space.

Cargo Bay 2. 13 minutes.

[I ran a complete self diagnostic.] [That's the danger of self diagnosis. Patients always assume the worst.] [How do things look now? Normal.]

Shortly after the time-jumping Seven is pulled back to the twenty-ninth century, just a little bit dead, Seven reports to the Doctor that she is having dizzy spells. He does an examination of the patient.

Doctor:	Follow the light. To the left. Right. And up. And down. Hmm.
Seven:	I ran a complete self diagnostic.
Doctor:	Hmm-hmm?
Seven:	At first I thought my ocular implants were malfunctioning. However, after consulting the Starfleet medical database, I realised it's a flaw in my human physiology.
Doctor:	Specifically?
Seven:	I am experiencing dizziness. Double vision. After considering all potential environmental and genetic factors, I have concluded that I am suffering from Albright-Salzman syndrome.
Doctor:	A rare neurological condition that hasn't affected a single human being for over two centuries. Unlikely.
Seven:	Human physiology is imperfect. Susceptible to a variety of disorders.
Doctor:	True. But in this instance we can safely say that you're suffering from a mild case of sensory aphasia. A minor disruption to your neuro-receptors. Neither rare nor life threatening.
Seven:	Apparently I was in need of a second opinion.
Doctor:	That's the danger of self diagnosis. Patients always assume the worst. This should clear it up. How do things look now?
Seven:	Normal.
Crewman:	[Doctor, please report to Sickbay.]
Doctor:	On my way. Next time your human physiology fails you, don't consult the database. Just call me.
Seven:	You are the database.
Seven:	With two legs, and a splendid bedside manner.
