Prologue
LET ME BACK IN!
In back me let !
Beyond the wall, he gibbered. Time meant nothing
to him. An instant was the same as an eternity; both
were merely subjective measures of his isolation and
his madness, which began the moment he was cast out
of creation and had been taking its toll ever since. His
exile had just begun, and it had lasted forever.
It's not fair, he thought, as he had thought since the
wall came into being. Fair is.fair, there is there, and
here is nowhere, nowhere, no hope. Isn't that so?
So it is, he answered himself, since he'd had no one
else to talk to for as long as long could possibly be. So,
so, so... so how could they lock me up like this? Why
could they?
His feverish mind offered an explanation. Fear.
That was their paltry excuse. Mere fear, sheer fear,
that's clear. He cackled at his own cleverness. Fear,
here. Fair, there. Fear is fair.
No, it is not, he protested angrily. I never did
anything, anything that mattered. Matter isn't any-
thing. No, it isn't, is it?
Not at all. All is not. Not is now.
Now. Now. Now.
Now, for the first time since his bleak, barbaric
banishment began, something new was happening.
There was a weakness in the wall, not enough to allow
him to slide his way through, at least not yet, but a
certain slackening that perhaps foretold an end to his
stubborn struggle to get past the wall. He felt a crack,
an infinitesimal fracture in the infinite, that he
shouted through with all his might. Me back in let/
Even if the entirety of his being could not pass
through the tantalizingly, tormentingly small lesion,
he could still send his ceaseless craving back into the
realm from which he had been so unjustly cast out,
crying out to anyone who might hear his desperate
plea.
Back let me in he demanded.
And a voice answered back.
Chapter One
Captain's log, stardate 500146.2.
At Starfleet's request, the Enterprise has ar-
rived at Betazed to take on Lem Faal, a distin-
guished Betazoid scientist, and his two children.
Under Faal's direction, this ship will take part in
a highly classified experiment that, if it is success-
ful, may open up a vast new frontier for explora-
tion.
"ARE YOU QUITE SURE, COUNSELOR, that you do not
wish to visit your family while we are here at Be-
tazed?"
"No, thank you, Captain," Commander Deanna
Troi replied. "As it happens, my mother and little
brother are off on one of her regular excursions to the
Parallax Colony on Shiralea VI, so there's not much
point in beaming down."
You didn't have to be an empath to detect an
unmistakable look of relief on Captain Jean-Luc
Picard's face when he learned that Lwaxana Troi was
several dozen light-years away. She knew exactly how
he felt; even though she genuinely loved her mother,
Troi wasn't too disappointed that there would be no
parent-daughter reunion on this particular mission.
Surviving a visit with Lwaxana always required a lot
of energy--and patience. Maybe it will get easier
someday, she thought. And maybe Klingons will be-
come vegetarians, too.
"That's too bad," Captain Picard said unconvinc-
ingly. "Although I'm sure our guest must be anxious
to get under way." He glanced toward the far end of
the conference room, where a middle-aged Betazoid
male waited patiently, reviewing the data on a padd
that he held at arm's length from himself. Must be
farsighted, Troi guessed, a not uncommon condition
in Betazoids of a certain age. Lem Faal had striking,
dark brown eyes, a receding hairline, and the slightly
distracted air of a born academic. He reminded Troi
of any number of professors she had encountered
during her student days at the university., although, on
closer inspection, she also picked up an impression of
infirmity even though she couldn't spot any obvious
handicap. Wearing a tan-colored civilian suit, he
looked out of place among all the Starfleet uniforms.
Almost instinctively, her empathic senses reached out
to get a reading on the new arrival, only to immedi-
ately come into contact with a telepathic presence far
more powerful than her own. Becoming aware of her
tentative probing, Faal looked up from his data padd
and made eye contact with Troi from across the room.
Hello, he thought to her.
Er, hello, she thought back. Growing up on Be-
tazed, she had become accustomed to dealing with
full telepaths, even though she felt a bit rusty at mind-
speaking after spending so many years among hu-
mans and other nontelepathic races. Welcome to the
Enterprise.
Thank you, he answered. She sensed, behind his
verbal responses, feelings of keen anticipation, excite-
ment, anxiety, and... something else as well, some-
thing she couldn't quite make out. Curious, she
stretched out further, deeper until she could almost--
Excuse me, Faal thought, blocking her. I think the
captain is ready to begin the briefing.
Troi blinked, momentarily disoriented by the speed
with which she had been shoved out of Faal's mind.
She looked around the conference room of the
Enterprise-E. The other Betazoid's telepathic com-
ment seemed accurate enough; her fellow officers
were already taking their places around the curved,
illuminated conference table. Captain Picard stood at
the head of the table, opposite the blank viewscreen at
the other end of the room, where Faal waited to make
his presentation. Decorative windows along the outer
wall of the conference room offered a eye-catching
view of Betazed's upper hemisphere, an image re-
flected in the glass panes of the display case mounted
to the inner wall. Gold-plated models of great star-
sh!ps of the past hung within the case, including a
mtmature replica of the lost Enterprise-D, her home
for seven years. Troi always winced inside a little
whenever she noticed that model. She'd been at the
helm of that Enterprise when it made its fatal crash
into Veridian III. Even though she knew, intellectu-
ally, that it wasn't her fault, she still couldn't forget
the sense of horror she had felt as the saucer section
dived into the atmosphere of Veridian III, never to
rise again. This new ship was a fine vessel, as she'd
proven during their historic battle with the Borg a few
months ago, but she didn't feel quite like home. Not
yet.
Preoccupied with thoughts of the past, Troi sat
down at the table between Geordi La Forge and
Beverly Crusher. Will Riker and Data were seated
across from her, their attention on Captain Picard.
Riker's confidence and good humor radiated from
him, helping to dispel her gloomy memories. She
shook her head to clear her mind and listened atten-
tively as the captain began to speak.
"We are honored to have with us today Lem Faal, a
specialist in applied physics from the University of
Betazed. Professor Faal has previously won awards
from the Daystrom Institute and the Vulcan Science
Academy for his groundbreaking work in energy wave
dynamics."
"Impressive stuff," Geordi said, obviously familiar
with Faars work. Troi could feel the intensity of his
scientific interest seeping off him. No surprise there;
she'd expect their chief engineer to be fascinated by
"energy wave dynamics" and like matters.
"Indeed," Data commented. "I have been particu-
larly intrigued by the professor's insights into the
practical applications of transwarp spatial anoma-
lies." The android's sense of anticipation felt just as
acute as Geordi's. He must have activated his emotion
chip, Troi realized. She could always tell, which cer-
tainly demonstrated how genuine Data's on-again,
off-again emotions could be.
"Starfleet," the captain continued, "has the greatest
of interest in Professor Faal's current line of research,
and the Enterprise has been selected to participate in
an experiment testing certain new theories he has
devised." He gestured toward Faal, who nodded his
head in acknowledgment. "Professor, no doubt you
can explain your intentions better."
"Well, I can try," the scientist answered. He tapped
a control on his padd and the viewscreen behind him
lit up. The image that appeared on the screen was of a
shimmering ribbon of reddish-purple energy that ap-
peared to stretch across a wide expanse of interstellar
space. The Nexus? Troi thought for a second, but, no,
this glowing band did not look quite the same color as
the mysterious phenomenon that had obsessed Tolian
Soran. It looked familiar, though, like something she
might have seen at an astrophysics lecture back at
Starfleet Academy. Of course, she realized instantly,
the barrier!
She felt a temporary surge of puzzlement quickly
fade from the room. Obviously, the other officers had
recognized the barrier as well. Faal let his audience
take in the image for a few seconds before beginning
his lecture.
"For centuries," he began, "the great galactic barri-
er has blocked the Federation's exploration of the
universe beyond our own Milky Way galaxy. It com-
pletely surrounds the perimeter of our galaxy, posing
a serious hazard to any vessel that attempts to venture
to the outer limits of inhabited space. Not only do the
unnatural energies that comprise the barrier batter a
vessel physically, but there is also a psychic compo-
nent to the barrier that causes insanity, brain damage,
and even death to any humanoid that comes into
contact with it."
Troi winced at the thought. As an empath, she knew
just how fragile a mind could be, and how a height-
ened sensitivity to psychic phenomena sometimes left
one particularly vulnerable to such effects as the
professor described. As a full telepath, Faal had to be
even more wary of powerful psychokinetic forces. She
wondered if his own gifts played any part in his
interest in the barrier.
Faal pressed another button on his padd and the
picture of the barrier was replaced by a standard map
of the known galaxy, divided into the usual four
sections. A flashing purple line, indicating the galactic
barrier, circled all four quadrants. "The Federation
has always accepted this limitation, as have the Kling-
ons and the Romulans and the other major starfaring
civilizations, because there has always been so much
territory to explore within our own galaxy. After all,
even after centuries of warp travel, both the Gamma
and the Delta quadrants remain largely uncharted.
Furthermore, the distances between galaxies are so
incalculably immense that, even if there were a safe
way to cross the barrier, a voyage to another galaxy
would require a ship to travel for centuries at maxi-
mum warp. And finally, to be totally honest, we have
accepted the barrier because there has been no viable
alternative to doing so.
"That situation may have changed," Faal an-
nounced with what was to Troi a palpable sense of
pride. Typical, she thought. What scientist is not proud
of his accomplishments? The map of the galaxy flick-
ered, giving way to a photo of a blond-haired woman
whose pale skin was delicately speckled with dark red
markings that ran from her temples down to the sides
of her throat. A Trill, Troi thought, recognizing the
characteristic spotting of that symbiotic life-form.
She felt a fleeting pang of sadness from the woman
seated next to her and sympathized with Beverly, who
was surely recalling her own doomed love affair with
the Trill diplomat Ambassador Odan. Troi wasn't
sure, but she thought she sensed a bit of discomfort
from Will Riker as well. A reasonable reaction, con-
sidering that Will had once "loaned" his own body to
a Trill symbiont. She was relieved to note that both
Will and Beverly swiftly overcame their flashes of
emotion, focusing once more on the present. They
acknowledged their pasts, then moved on, the counsel-
or diagnosed approvingly. Very healthy behavior.
Worfmarried a Trill, she remembered with only the
slightest twinge of jealousy. Then she took her own
advice and put that reaction behind her. I wish him
only the best, she thought.
"Some of you may be familiar with the recent work
of Dr. Lenara Kahn, the noted Trill physicist," Faal
went on. Heads nodded around the table and Troi
experienced a twinge of guilt; she tried to keep up to
date on the latest scientific developments, as summa-
rized in Starfleet's never-ending bulletins and posi-
tion papers, but her own interests leaned more toward
psychology and sociology than the hard sciences,
which she sometimes gave only a cursory inspection.
Oh well, she thought, I never intended to transfer to
Engineering. "A few years ago, Dr. Kahn and her
associates conducted a test on Deep Space Nine,
which resulted in the creation of the Federation's first
artificially generated wormhole. The wormhole was
unstable, and collapsed only moments after its cre-
ation, but Kahn's research team has continued to
refine and develop this new technology. They're still
years away from being able to produce an artificial
wormhole that's stable enough to permit reliable
transport to other sectors of the galaxy, but it dawned
on me that the same technique, modified somewhat,
might allow a starship to open a temporary breach in
the galactic barrier, allowing safe passage through to
the other side. As you may have guessed, that's where
the Enterprise comes in."
A low murmur arose in the conference room as the
assembled officers reacted to Faal's revelation. Data
and Geordi took turns peppering the Betazoid scien-
tist with highly technical questions that quickly left
Troi behind. Just as well, she thought. She was startled
enough by just the basic idea.
Breaking the barrier.t It was one of those things, like
passing the warp-ten threshold or flying through a
sun, that people talked about sometimes, but you
never really expected to happen in your lifetime.
Searching her memory, she vaguely recalled that the
original Enterprise, Captain Kirk's ship, had passed
through the barrier on a couple of occasions, usually
with spectacularly disastrous consequences. Starfleet
had declared such expeditions off-limits decades ago,
although every few years some crackpot or daredevil
would try to break the barrier in a specially modified
ship. To date, none of these would-be heroes had
survived. She remembered Will Riker once, years ago
on Betazed, describing such dubious endeavors as
"the warp-era equivalent of going over Niagara in a
barrel." Now, apparently, it was time for the
Enterprise-E to take the plunge. She couldn't suppress
a chill at the very thought.
"I'm curious, Professor," Riker asked. "Where ex-
actly do you plan to make the test?"
Faal tapped his padd and the map of the galaxy
reappeared on the screen. The image zoomed in on
the Alpha Quadrant and he pointed at a wedge-
shaped area on the map. "Those portions of the
barrier that exist within Federation space have been
thoroughly surveyed by unmanned probes containing
the most advanced sensors available, and they've
made a very intriguing discovery. Over the last year
or so, energy levels within the barrier have fluctuated
significantly, producing what appears to be a distinct
weakening in the barrier at several locations."
Shaded red areas appeared throughout the flashing
purple curve on the screen. Troi noted that the shaded
sections represented only a small portion of the
barrier. They looked like mere dots scattered along
the length of the line. Like leaks in a dam, she
thought, finding the comparison somewhat unsettling.
Faal gave her an odd look, as if aware of her
momentary discomfort. "These... imperfections...
in the integrity of the barrier are not substantial,
representing only a fractional diminution in the bar-
rier's strength, but they are significant enough to
recommend themselves as the logical sites at which to
attempt to penetrate the barrier. This particular site,"
he said, pointing tø one of the red spots, which began
to flash brighter than the rest, "is located in an
uninhabited and otherwise uninteresting sector of
space. Since Starfleet would prefer to conduct this
experiment in secrecy, far from the prying eyes of the
Romulans or the Cardassians, this site has been
selected for our trial run. Even as I speak, specialized
equipment, adapted from the original Trill designs, is
being transported aboard the Enterprise. I look for-
ward to working with Mr. La Forge and his engineer-
ing team on this project."

"Thanks," Geordi replied. The ocular implants
that served as his eyes glanced from Data to Faal.
"Whatever you need, I'm sure we're up to it. Sounds
like quite a breakthrough, in more ways than one."
Troi peered at the spot that Faal had indicated on
the map. She didn't recall much about that region, but
she estimated that it was about two to three days away
at warp five. Neither the captain nor Will Riker
radiated any concern about the location Faal had
chosen. She could tell that they anticipated an un-
eventful flight until they arrived at the barrier.
"Professor," she asked, "how similar is the galactic
barrier to the Great Barrier? Would your new tech-
nique be effective on both?"
Faal nodded knowingly. "That's a good question.
What is colloquially known as 'the Great Barrier' is a
similar wall of energy that encloses the very center of
our galaxy, as opposed to the outer rim of the galaxy.
More precisely, the Great Barrier is an intragalactic
energy field while our destination is an extragalactic
field." He ran his hand through his thinning gray hair.
"Research conducted over the last hundred years
suggests that both barriers are composed of equiva-
lent, maybe even identical, forms of energy. In theory,
the artificial wormhole process, if it's successful,
could be used to penetrate the Great Barrier as well.
Many theorists believe both barriers stem from the
same root cause."
"Which is?" she inquired.
Faal chuckled. "I'm afraid that's more of a theolog-
ical question than a scientific one, and thus rather out
of my field. As far as we can tell, the existence of the
barriers predates the development of sentient life in
our galaxy. Or at least any life-forms we're familiar
with."
That's odd, Troi mused. She wasn't sure but she
thought she detected a flicker of insincerity behind
the scientist's ingratiating manner, like he was hold-
ing something back. Perhaps he's not as confident
about his theories as he'd like Starfleet to think, she
thought. It was hard to tell; Faal's own telepathic gifts
made him difficult to read.
Sitting beside Troi, Beverly Crusher spoke up, a
look of concern upon her features. "Has anyone
thought about the potential ecological consequences
of poking a hole in the barrier? If these walls have
been in place for billions of years, maybe they serve
some vital purpose, either to us or to whatever life-
forms exist on the opposite side of the wall. I hate to
throw cold water on a fascinating proposal, but maybe
the barrier shouldn't be breached?"
There it is again, Troi thought, watching the Beta-
zoid scientist carefully. She sensed some sort of
reaction from Faal in response to Beverly's question.
It flared up immediately, then was quickly snuffed out
before she could clearly identify the emotion. Fear?
Guilt? Annoyance? Maybe he simply doesnt like hav-
ing his experiment challenged, she speculated. Cer-
tainly he wouldn't be the first dedicated scientist to
suffer from tunnel vision where his brainchild was
concerned. Researchers, she knew from experience,
could be as protective of their pet projects as an
enraged sehlat defending its young.
If he was feeling defensive, he displayed no sign of
it. "Above all else, first do no harm, correct, Doctor?"
he replied to Crusher amiably, paraphrasing the Hip-
pocratic Oath. "I appreciate your concerns, Doctor.
Let me reassure you a bit regarding the scale of our
experiment. The galactic barrier itself is so unfath-
omably vast that our proposed exercise is not unlike
knocking a few bricks out of your own Earth's Great
Wall of China. It's hard to imagine that we could do
much damage to the ecosystem of the entire galaxy,
let alone whatever lies beyond, although the potential
danger is another good reason for conducting this
preliminary test in an unpopulated sector. As far as
we know, there's nothing on the other side except the
vast emptiness between our own galaxy and its neigh-
bors." He pressed a finger against his padd and the
screen behind him reverted to the compelling image
with which he had begun his lecture: the awe-inspiring
sight of the galactic barrier stretching across countless
light-years of space, its eerie, incandescent energies
rippling through the shimmering wall of violet light.
"Starfleet feels--" he started to say, but a harsh
choking noise interrupted his explanation. He placed
his free hand over his mouth and coughed a few more
times. Troi saw his chest heaving beneath his suit and
winced in sympathy. She was no physician, but she
didn't like the sound of Faal's coughs, which seemed
to come from deep within his lungs. She could tell
that Beverly was concerned as well.
"Excuse me," Faal gasped, fishing around in the
pockets of his tan suit. He withdrew a compact silver
hypospray, which he pressed against the crook of his
arm. Troi heard a distinctive hiss as the instrument
released its medication into his body. Within a few
seconds, Faal appeared to regain control of his breath-
ing. "I apologize for the interruption, but I'm afraid
my health isn't all it should be."
Troi recalled her earlier impression of infirmity.
Was this ailment, she wondered, what the professor
was trying so hard to conceal? Even Betazoids, who
generally prided themselves on being at ease with
their own bodies, could feel uncomfortable about
revealing a serious medical condition. She recalled
that Faal had brought his family along on this mis-
sion, despite the possibility of danger, and she won-
dered how his obvious health problems might have
affected his children. Perhaps I shouM prepare for
some family counseling, just in case my assistance is
needed.
Faal took a few deep breaths to steady himself, then
addressed Beverly. "As ship's medical officer, Dr.
Crusher, you should probably be aware that I have
Iverson's disease."
The emotional temperature of the room rose to a
heightened level the moment Faal mentioned the
dreaded sickness. Iverson's disease remained one of
the more conspicuous failures of twenty-fourth-
century medicine: a debilitating, degenerative condi-
tion for which there was no known cure. Thankfully
noncontagious, the disorder attacked muscle fiber and
other connective tissues, resulting in the progressive
atrophy of limbs and vital organs; from the sound of
Faal's labored breathing, Troi suspected that Faal's
ailment had targeted his respiratory system. She felt
acute sympathy and embarrassment on the part of her
fellow officers. No doubt all of them were remember-
ing Admiral Mark Jamesonwand the desperate
lengths the disease had driven him to during that
mission to Mordan IV. "I'm very sorry," she said.
"Please feel free to call on me for whatever care you
may require," Beverly stressed. "Perhaps you should
come by sickbay later so we can discuss your condi-
tion in private."
"Thank you," he said, "but please don't let my
condition concern any of you." He held up the
hypospray. "My doctor has prescribed polyadrenaline
for my current symptoms. All that matters now is that
I live long enough to see the completion of my work."
The hypospray went back into his pocket and Faal
pointed again to the image of the galactic barrier on
the screen.
"At any rate," he continued, "Starfleet Science has
judged the potential risk of this experiment to be
acceptable when weighed against the promise of
opening up a new era of expansion beyond the
boundaries of this galaxy. Exploring the unknown
always contains an element of danger. Isn't that so,
Captain?"
"Indeed," the captain agreed. "The fundamental
mission of the Enterprise, as well as that of Star fleet,
has always been to extend the limits of our knowledge
of the universe, exploring new and uncharted territo-
ry." Picard rose from his seat at the head of the table.
'Your experiment, Professor Faal, falls squarely with-
in the proud tradition of this ship. Let us hope for the
best of luck in this exciting new endeavor."
It's too bad, Troi thought, that the rest of the crew
can't sense Captain Picard's passion and commitment
the same way I can. Then she looked around the
conference table and saw the glow of the captain's
inspiration reflected in the faces of her fellow officers.
Even Beverly, despite her earlier doubts, shared their
commitment to the mission. On second thought, may-
be they can.
"Thank you, Captain," Lem Faal said warmly. Troi
noticed that he still seemed a bit out of breath. "I am
anxious to begin."
This time Troi detected nothing but total sincerity
in the man's words.
Chapter Two
"THE MOST DIFFICULT PART," Lem Faal explained, "is
going to be keeping the torpedo intact inside the
barrier until it can send out a magneton pulse."
"That's more than difficult," Chief Engineer Geordi
La Forge commented. He had been reading up on the
galactic barrier ever since the briefing, so he had a
better idea of what they were up against. "That's close
to impossible."
The duty engineer's console, adjacent to the chief
engineer's office, had been reassigned to the Betazoid
researcher as a workstation where he could complete
the preparations for his experiment. To accommodate
Faal's shaky health, La Forge had also taken care to
provide a sturdy stool Faal could rest upon while he
worked. Now he and Geordi scrutinized the diagrams
unfolding on a monitor as Faal spelled out the details
of his experiment:
"Not if we fine-tune the polarity of the shields to
match exactly the amplitude of the barrier at the
point where the quantum torpedo containing the
magneton pulse generator enters the barrier. That
amplitude is constantly shifting, of course, but if we
get it right, then the torpedo should hold together long
enough to emit a magneton pulse that will react with a
subspace tensor matrix generated by the Enterprise to
create an opening in the space-time continuum. Then,
according to my calculations, the artificial wormhole
will disrupt the energy lattice of the barrier, creating a
pathway of normal space through to the other side?
"Then it's only two million light-years to the next
galaxy, right?" Geordi said with a grin. "I guess we'll
have to build that bridge when we get to it."
"Precisely," Faal answered. "For myself, I'll leave
that challenge for the starship designers and trans-
warp enthusiasts. Who knows? Maybe a generation
ship is the answer, if you can find enough colonists
who don't mind leaving the landing to their descen-
dants. Or suspended animation, perhaps. But before
we can face the long gulf between the galaxies, first we
must break free from the glimmering cage that has
hemmed us in since time began. We're like baby birds
that finally have to leave the nest and explore the great
blue sky beyond."
"I never quite thought of it that way," Geordi said.
"After all, the Milky Way is one reck of a big nest."
"The biggest nest still hems you in, as the largest
cage is still a cage," Faal insisted with a trace of
bitterness in his voice. "Look at me. My mind is free
to explore the fundamental principles of the universe,
but it's trapped inside a fragile, dying body." He
looked up from his schematics to inspect Geordi.
"Excuse me for asking, Commander, but I'm in-
trigued by your eyes. Are those the new ocular im-
plants I've heard about, the ones they just developed
on Earth?"
The scientist's curiosity did not bother Geordi;
sometimes his new eyes still caught him by surprise,
especially when he looked in a mirror. "These are
them, all right. I didn't know you were interested in
rehabilitative medicine. Or is it the optics?"
"It's all about evolution," Faal explained. "Tech-
nology has usurped natural selection as the driving
force of evolution, so I'm fascinated by the ways in
which sentient organisms can improve upon their
own flawed biology. Prosthetics are one way, genetic
manipulation is another. So is breaking the barrier,
perhaps. It's about overcoming the inherent frailties
of our weak humanoid bodies, becoming superior
beings, just as you have used the latest in medical
technology to improve yourself."
Geordi wasn't sure quite how to respond. He didn't
exactly think of himself as "superior," just better
equipped to do his job. "If you say so, Professor," he
said, feeling a little uncomfortable. Lem Faal was
starting to sound a bit too much like a Borg. Maybe it
was only a trick of light, reflecting the glow of the
monitor, but an odd sort of gleam had crept into the
Betazoid's eyes as he spoke. I wonder if I would have
even noticed that a few years ago? Geordi thought. His
VISOR had done a number of things well, from
isolating hairline fractures in metal plating to tracking
neutrinos through a flowing plasma current, but pick-
ing up on subtle nuances of facial expressions hadn't
been one of them.
"Chief!" Geordi turned around to see Lieutenant
