“It is possible that he shut down the impulse engines in time—” Dax’amsterdamlivexxx com s voice tugged at his awareness, bringing him back to those around him. “There are indications that the wormhole, in its altered state, still exists in the Gamma Quadrant; our monitor amsterdamlivexxx com beacons in that sector are still picking up several band segments of amsterdamlivexxx com the wormhole’s signature energy emissions.
