Captain Kathryn Janeway is called to the Epsilon Six Starbase, a top secret starbase orbiting an obscure planet named Forever World. The starbase monitors, studies and protects the being known as The Guardian of Forever. She is ordered by Starfleet to place a cylinder inside a snowdrift on some unknown location and then quickly leave. She is told that somehow this was a predestined event and one that is part of the natural course of history. What was seemingly a simple task turned out to have a huge impact on history.
