If there are three things in the Star Trek Universe that Kathryn Janeway hates: it's time travel, The Borg, and an empty coffee cup.

Sure enough, when the time came to bring Voyager's 7 year journey through The Delta Quadrant to an end, two of these three affronts to her good mood would be brought to bear. Admiral Janeway (a now devout tea drinker) travels 30 years into the past to make contact with her younger self, in a bid to bring Voyager's long trek to an early finish. Encountering The Borg and their Queen (a welcome return for the icy cold villainy of Alice Krige), the Admiral is successful in guiding the crew back to The Alpha Quadrant, and her timeline is erased.

Prior to such temporal shenanigans, we get a glimpse of life in Admiral Janeway's future in the year 2404 and, although many of the crew have found their happiness back in The Alpha Quadrant, Janeway cannot help but feel a deep pang of sadness and regret over how long their journey took, and how many were lost on the way. Owing to the divergence caused by the Admiral's unique interpretation of The Temporal Prime Directive, Voyager's crew would experience completely different lives upon their return, and these are how things played out.
