On April 4, 2063, the missile silo where Sloane and Cochrane were constructing their warp ship came under fire by a Borg vessel from the 24th century. Despite the unwillingness of her partner, Sloane sought to protect the Phoenix from what she believed to be an attack from the Eastern Coalition. In the aftermath, Sloane remained in the missile silo where she encountered Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Commander Data, there to repair the timeline. Armed with a Calico M960 submachine gun, Sloane opened fire on the two officers, believing them to be members of the Eastern Coalition. Sloane was, however, felled by theta radiation leaking from the damaged Phoenix and transported aboard the orbiting USS Enterprise-E by Doctor Beverly Crusher.
