"As for the Eiffel Tower?" She eyes the Doctors, questioning, and they shake their heads. "Nope, no disasters there. We did wave goodbye to Duggan from there...he was the detective who was hired to investigate a plot to steal the Mona Lisa. But that's all."
AL nods at Marty. "And you were almost not created at all due to a spatial anomaly caused by an exploding starship in the far future. Luckily, Captain Picard reversed that effect and it wound up never happening."
Data nods. "The Captain had been moving back and forward through time between past, present and future. The anomaly had been caused by a starship in the future exploding and rupturing the space-time continuum. Due to it being a temporal anomaly, it grew larger as it moved through the past and covered most of the quadrant by primordial Earth. The Captain, as we were told, was able to collapse the anomaly and return the timeflow to normal."
"He'd told us of the possible future," said AL. "Maybe hoping some things wouldn't come to pass because it wasn't exactly a happy one. The future's always in flux, so I guess the 'not polluting the timeline' rule went out the window there. Though I think there's some leeway with alternate futures." She makes a face as if she's thinking about it, then gives up and shrugs.
