Synopsis: The U.S.S. Protostar returns to Tars Lamora, which restores the timeline.
This episode contains an illustration on how the instinctual unconscious communicates in ways other than the conscious ego.
In “Ouroboros, Part II,” the U.S.S. Voyager and the U.S.S. Protostar head toward the Looms and the wormhole. The Voyager uses Cetacean Ops to plot a course. The Protostar crew beam back to Voyager and the Protostar is sent back to Tars Lamora. The temporal timeline begins to regenerate. On Solum, the Looms leave because the time loop is closed, while on Voyager Gwyndala (Gwyn) is restored to her timeline. Sometime after the mission is completed, Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway has retired. The Prodigy crew and Maj’El are at Starfleet Academy, where they look up to see a
billboard message “Happy First Contact Day.” Then they see a report about the attack at Utopia Planitia on Mars. This causes Captain Chakotay comes to see Janeway to tell her that she has been recalled into service. Starfleet Academy shuts down. The Prodigy crew and Maj’El are hailed by Janeway. Janeway wants them to crew the new Protostar class U.S.S. Prodigy. Once onboard, Dal R’El tells Gwyn that she is the acting captain, not him.
In this episode, the way in which Voyager makes her way through the wormhole when her computer navigation systems became of no value, is to rely on the intuition of the Cetacean Ops crew to navigate. This is also how Protostar was returned to Tars Lamora exactly when that was to happen to restore the timeline. The reliance on the instincts of Gillian, a humpback whale, when computers were useless, can be compared to how sometimes the conscious ego needs to rely on the instinct and intuition of the unconscious in order to find its way through a situation. In addition, when the ego acknowledges and integrates bits of unconscious material into itself it becomes stronger and the psyche more whole.
