The stardate given in the episode is 46910.1 which would place it near the end of the year season 1 - 2169. Yet the Pocket Books Timeline in Voyages of Imagination places it much earlier - even before several DS9 episodes that have earlier stardates: The Storyteller, Progress, and If Wishes Were Horses. Does anyone know why? Perhaps there is a reason it has to be placed before the TNG episode Birthright were the Enterprise visits DS9? Jdvelasc 15:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
