Set partially in a future where Voyager's crew did finally return him, but with several casualties, "Endgame" sees the now Admiral Janeway steal technology from the Klingons and use it to travel back in time to help Voyager return home sooner and prevent the deaths of Seven of Nine and Chakotay, as well as Tuvok's severe deterioration from a Vulcan brain disease. "Endgame" borrows much of the same time travel-related storyline, although on a larger scale. The episode tells the story of future versions of Ensign Harry Kim and Commander Chakotay attempting to send a message back through time to prevent the deaths of Voyager's entire crew, after Harry made a miscalculation that caused Voyager's new quantum slipstream drive to malfunction the ship to crash on an ice planet during an attempt to return to the Alpha Quadrant.
