*A year and a half later, Hayden's notes were rediscovered by another bright young ensign at Starbase 515, [[Parks, Nick|Nick Parks]]. Since Nick's interests lay outside of the medical field and more in the realm of subspace theory, he found most of Hayden's journals of little interest - until the ''Kestrel'' incident. Hayden talked extensively about perhaps seeing the anomaly that the ''Kestrel'' had reported before its disappearance. Nick researched the anomaly, and the ''Kestrel'', until, finally, he discovered something.... | *A year and a half later, Hayden's notes were rediscovered by another bright young ensign at Starbase 515, [[Parks, Nick|Nick Parks]].

*The ''Kestrel'' had not been destroyed. The anomaly had acted as an extreme point of interdimensional fatigue, and the ''Kestrel'' had fallen into a pocket of antispace, a kind of bubble in subspace. It took him the better part of two years, but Nick eventually found a way to punch a communications signal through, and there he made contact with Hayden. Hayden reported that most of the crew had been killed in the initial pull-through, and those that hadn't had died in several attempts to punch back through. He, Hayden, was the only survivor. | *The ''Kestrel'' had not been destroyed.

However, Nick's alone in the endeavor, as no one else will believe Hayden is real; in order for the communication to work, Nick had to operate it - the device works only because it is keyed into Nick's very thoughts. | ||
