INew York Daily News Ngaphambili Iphepha eliLandelayo emva kokunyamalala kuka-Amelia EarhartOovimba beSizwe Rhoqo emva kweminyaka embalwa, kuvela ithiyori entsha ethi amabango okusombulula enye yezona mfihlakalo zenkulungwane yama-20: Kwenzeka ntoni ku-Amelia Earhart kunye nomatiloshe wakhe uFred Noonan ngexesha labo lokuzama ukujikeleza umhlaba? Eyona ithiyori yakutshanje, esekwe kwi ifoto efuna ukubonisa i-Earhart elugcinweni lwaseJapan, ucebisa ukuba khange asweleke phakathi kwenqwelomoya, kodwa endaweni yakhe njengebanjwa. Sele ikhona unetyala.
Njengakwiimfihlakalo ezininzi zolu hlobo, uluntu alunakuze lusamkele isigqibo esichazayo. Kodwa sinokuhlala sizibuza-kwaye yile nto kanye enye Inguqulelo yesiphelo sika-Earhart ayenzi. Apha, ke, sisiphelo, kodwa isiphelo esikhuthazayo sebali lika-Earhart elitsalwe kwiintsomi zikaGene Roddenberry Inkwenkwezi yetrek Iyunivesi, apho ibali lomqhubi wenqwelomoya onguvulindlela aqala khona emva kweminyaka engama-400, kwelinye icala lomnyele iMilky Way…
I-Federation Starship USS uhambo kunye noKapteni wayo, uKathryn Janeway, babonakala behlelwe yinto efanayo no-Earhart. Ngelixa bekumishini yesiqhelo, inqanawa, kunye neqela labasebenzi bayo abangama-150, bakhutshelwa kude baya kwi-Delta quadrant ngokuchasene nentando yabo kwaye babambeka phantse iminyaka engama-60 yokuhamba (ngesantya esiphezulu) kude noMhlaba. Akukho zikhokelo zokunyamalala kwabo okanye nayiphi na indlela emva kwabo, Ukuhamba Yadityaniswa ngaphandle kwendlela yokutsalela umnxeba ekhaya kwinxalenye yeGlass apho kwakungekho mntu okanye wakha waya khona. Okanye ke bacinga njalo.
Ngenye imini, ngelixa ndityhutyha ummandla omkhulu we-Delta quadrant kuhambo oluninzi Ukuhamba ngekhe uphinde ubone ukuphela kwayo, izinto ezingaqhelekanga zithathwa ngabenzi boluvo benqanawa: intsimbi erusiweyo. Ngenxa yokuba akukho oksijini esibhakabhakeni, ukufumanisa bekungekho ndawo. Kodwa akukho mntu ungaziwayo ngaphandle kokufumana ilori ye-Ford ye-1936 edada kwisithuba sendawo, yiyo loo nto Ukuhamba Ndadibana nemizuzu embalwa kamva. Abasebenzi bazisa isithuthi kwindawo yabo yokulayisha kwaye bavavanya i-relic century. Baphinde bajonga i-wormholes ezikufutshane kunye neempazamo zethutyana ukuzama ukucacisa ukufuduka okugqithisileyo, kodwa abafumananga nto.
Inkqubo ye- Ukuhamba abasebenzi bahlola iveni kwaye bafumana irediyo ye-AM esebenzayo. Emva kokuyilayita, bafumana umqondiso woxinzelelo we-SOS ophuma kwiplanethi ekufuphi nomoya ocebileyo weoksijini. Bakhawuleza baseta ikhosi kwihlabathi, elihleli kwindawo yesithathu ukusuka kwinkwenkwezi yalo, kakhulu njengoMhlaba. Ukufika kwabo, bazimisele ukuba umqondiso we-SOS uvela kwilizwekazi kumhlaba osemantla weplanethi. Abasebenzi basebenze ukuba ngenxa yeemeko zemozulu kwiplanethi, abakwazanga ukukhusela ngokukhuselekileyo iqela elikude ukuba liphande kwaye alinakukhusela ngokukhuselekileyo iplothi yeshuttle.
Unqwenela ukuqonda ukuba into eyenziwe ngumntu yenziwe njani ukuza kuthi ga kumthala kwaye ngubani owayethumela umqondiso we-SOS wasemhlabeni, uKapteni Janeway uthathe isigqibo sokufika emhlabeni Ukuhamba kumphezulu weplanethi. Isenzo esinje sinqabile ngenxa Ukuhamba ubukhulu obukhulu, kodwa yagwetyelwa inikwe ithuba lokumisela ukuba ubukho bomntu bunokuba kude kangakanani ekhaya. Kutheni kungxamisekile nje? Kuba iziphumo zabo zinokunceda Ukuhamba fumana indlela yokubuyela eMhlabeni.
Emva kokuchukumisa umhlaba, ezimbini Ukuhamba Amaqela athunyelwe ukuphanda umthombo wamandla ofunyenweyo kunye nomqondiso weSOS, okufuphi. Iqela elikhokelwa ngu-Captain Janeway lilandele umqondiso kwaye kungekudala lafumanisa enye into evela kwinkulungwane yama-20: i-Lockheed Model 10 ye-injini yeenjini ezingamawele. Inqwelomoya yenziwa yaduma emva kokuba bekucingelwa ukuba iye yatshona yaza yatshona elwandle ngo-1937 kunye nabakhweli bayo, uAmelia Earhart noFred Noonan. Ngaphaya nje kwenduli, elinye iqela lifumana umqolomba kwindawo apho Ukuhamba Ufumanise umthombo okhupha amandla. 
U-Amelia Earhart kunye nenqwelomoya yakhe engalunganga yeLokheed Electra.Oovimba beSizwe
NgeCaptain Janeway ejoyina abo emqolombeni, bafumana amagumbi e-cryostasis, aqhele ukusetyenziselwa ukugcina iifomathi zobomi ziphila kubuthongo obunzulu kangangexesha elide. Iqela labasebenzi lizimisele ukuba amagumbi asenamandla kwaye abahlali babo bayaphila, kodwa kancinci. Emva kokuvavanya igumbi lokuqala, abasebenzi bafumana ijoni laseJapan lisanxibe iyunifomu kwaye ecaleni kwakhe, indoda yase-Afrika-yaseMelika inxibe njengomlimi. Uhlalutyo olukhawulezayo usebenzisa Ukuhamba Ugcino lwedatha luye lwazimisela ukuba iimpahla zivela phakathi kwiminyaka ye-1930. Ukuqhubela phambili ezantsi emgceni wamagumbi okulala anzulu, bafumana enye indoda nebhinqa.
Emva koviwo oluthe kratya, uKapteni Janeway waqaphela ukuba umntu obhinqileyo wayenxibe ibhatyi yesikhumba enamaphiko egolide aphawulwe ngentla kwepokotho yebele kunye negama eliprintwe ngezantsi kwayo: A. Earhart. UJaneway, wabuyiselwa umva, kwangoko wachazela abasebenzi bakhe ukuba u-Earhart wayengomnye wabaqhubi beenqwelo moya zokuqala emhlabeni kunye nowasetyhini wokuqala ukuba awele ulwandle iAtlantic. Ngexesha lentlanganiso ebuyile e Ukuhamba , UJaneway uqhubeke nokuchaza ukuba ukunyamalala kuka-Earhart kwiminyaka engama-400 eyadlulayo yenye yeemfihlakalo ezaziwayo ezimbalini. Uye wakhankanya ukuba enye yeengcinga ezihlekisayo ezijikeleze eli tyala yayikukuba u-Earhart wabanjwa ngabaphambukeli. Igosa lokuqala likaJaneway, u-Commander Chakotay, wakhawuleza wachaza ukuba inokuba kunjalo.
Isigqibo senziwa nguJaneway ukuvusa u-Earhart nabanye. Uyalele ukuba kuphononongwe ngokukhawuleza izithethe zakudala zoMhlaba ngelixa kuphela amalungu angabasebenzi ekhethwe ukuba avule amagumbi e-cryostasis. Oku kuya kuthintela abantu abathinjiweyo ekubeni bothuke okanye boyike. Ngaphambi kokuba bavuse, abasebenzi baxhobisa amajoni aseJapan ukuze bakhuseleke kodwa bengenzi nto kangako Ukuhamba abasebenzi bayazi, omnye wabo wayexhobile: UFred Noonan, umatiloshe ka-Earhart. Abathimbi bakhawuleza babuyela ezingqondweni kwaye bayadideka yile nto yenzekileyo. Into yokugqibela abayikhumbulayo yayihamba malunga neshishini labo ngo-1937.
Phantse kwangoko emva kokuvuka, uNoonan owayenomsindo wafuna iimpendulo. UJaneway ucacisile ukuba ngunyaka wama-2371 kwaye bakude kakhulu nasekhaya, kunokwenzeka ukuba balandela ukubanjwa luhlobo lwangaphandle. U-Earhart akazange ayithenge ekuqaleni kodwa xa uJaneway waqiqa naye kwaye wathembisa ukumbonisa Ukuhamba, Waqala ukumamela. Umqhubi wenqwelomoya olahlekileyo uchaze kuJaneway amaxesha ngaphambi kokulahleka. U-Earhart kunye noNoonan babone ukukhanya okukhulu ngaphambi kokuba inqwelo moya yabo ye-Electra ime phakathi komoya kwaye baqala ukubuyela umva. U-Noonan onomsindo akasalithengi ibali lokuthinjwa kwaye ukhuphe umpu wakhe. Abathimba ngoku bavuswe bathabathe amalungu ambalwa Ukuhamba crew bathimba emqolombeni kwaye bafuna iimpendulo.
UCaptain Janeway uqhubeke nokwenza ityala lokwenzekileyo kwaye waveza ukuba elinye lamalungu abasebenzi bakhe lolunye uhlobo. U-Earhart wazichaza ngokuchaza ukuba ukhe wahamba umhlaba kwaye ubonile abantu besenza izinto ezingaqhelekanga kwimizimba yabo. Uye waphikisa ngelithi ngenxa yokuba elo lungu labasebenzi libonakala lahlukile, oko akuthethi ukuba amaMartian angenelele. Elinye ilungu labasebenzi laphazanyiswa kwaye lacacisa ukuba eneneni, yayingabantu abangena eMars ngo-2103.
UCaptain Janeway utyhilele u-Earhart ukuba ngenxa yakhe, izizukulwana zabafazi baba ngabaqhubi beenqwelo moya kwaye bade bakhuthaza uJaneway ngokwakhe ukuba enze ikhondo elinokukhokelela ekulawuleni i-Starship. Ukuhamba. U-Earhart wathi iinkwenkwezi zikhona kuphela kwimibhalo kaJules Verne kunye noHG Wells. UJaneway ucenga abo bathimbe abo Ukuhamba abasebenzi bafuna nje ukubanceda kwaye baxelele u-Earhart malunga nokulahleka kwakhe. UJaneway wachaza ukuba akukho mkhondo we-Electra owakhe wafunyanwa kwaye amarhe ajikeleze inqwelomoya abandakanya ukuba kungenzeka ukuba u-Earhart kunye noNoonan babekwimishini egunyaziswe ngurhulumente yokuqokelela ulwazi malunga namaJapan. Akukho mntu bekufanele ukuba uyazi malunga noku, u-Earhart uphendule.
U-Amelia Earhart osadidekile wakhupha ikhampasi yakhe kodwa ushiyeka enemibuzo emininzi xa ingasebenzi. Kungekudala emva koko, uJaneway wafumana umnxeba ovela kuye Ukuhamba Isilumkiso sokuba ezinye iindlela zobomi zifunyenwe ngaphandle komqolomba kwaye iqela lezokhuseleko liyathunyelwa ukuyokuphanda. U-Noonan wayiva le nto kwaye waba nomsindo, efuna ukuba basebenzise unxibelelwano lwabo ukunxibelelana ne-United States, ngakumbi uJ. Edgar Hoover. U-Hoover wayengumlawuli wokuqala we-FBI kwaye wabamba isikhundla ngo-1937.
Ngaphandle komqolomba, umlilo weviwa. Iqela lithunyelwe lisuka Ukuhamba yayihlaselwa. Baphume bonke emqolombeni baya entloko Ukuhamba xa uNoonan wahlaselwa ngumlilo. UJaneway wakhawulezisa wahlasela abo bahlaseli babenxibe iisuti ezingwevu ukusuka entloko ukuya ezinzwaneni. Emva kokubaphelisa izixhobo, uJaneway uxelele abahlaseli ukuba ungumntu kwaye wacela ingcaciso. Singabantu nathi, batsho abahlaseli ngelixa besusa iminqwazi yabo, bechaza ukuba bayamoyika kwaye Ukuhamba abasebenzi babengamalungu ohlanga lwasemzini olubizwa ngokuba yiBriori. Omabini la macala ayavuma ukubeka izixhobo phantsi kwaye omnye wabahlaseli wazazisa njengoJohn Evansville.
Buyela e Ukuhamba , U-Evansville utyholwa Ukuhamba yokuqweqwedisa i-37’s- into yena nabantu bakhe abahlala kwiplanethi abayibiza ngokuba ngabo bafunyanwa kumagumbi e-cryostasis. Wothuka naye akuva ukuba ngokwenene bayaphila. U-Evansville kunye nabantu bakhe khange bangene emqolombeni okanye kwindawo engcwele njengoko beyibiza njalo, kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Isizathu? U-Earhart kunye nabanye ababebanjiwe bebeyinxalenye yeqela labantu abangama-300 abathunjwa eMhlabeni ngo-1937 ngu-Briore. Emva kokuziswa kwiplanethi kwi-quadrant ye-Delta, babanjwa njengamakhoboka kwaye banyanzelwa ukuba benze umsebenzi onzima.
Ekugqibeleni abantu bakhokelela kwimvukelo ngokuchasene ne-Briore, bababulala kwaye babamba izixhobo kunye netekhnoloji. Kubonakala ngathi yi-Earhart, uNoonan kunye nezinye ezifunyenwe Ukuhamba Abasebenzi zange baphinde bavuswe emva kokuba bexhwilwe kwaye mhlawumbi balala ngokuvukela kwamakhoboka. U-Evansville uchaze ukuba i-37's ngookhokho bakhe kwaye izizukulwana ezili-15 kamva, ngaphezulu kwe-100,000 ye-37's inzala ihlala kwizixeko zabantu ezi-3 emhlabeni. U-Briore akazange abuye.
UCaptain Janeway ubuze ukuba ngaba inkwenkwezi yeenkwenkwezi eyayisetyenziswa nguBriore ukuthimba abantu eMhlabeni ngo-1937 isekhona, kodwa uyaphoxeka kukufumanisa ukuba itshatyalalisiwe. Oku kuyamtyumza kunye Ukuhamba abasebenzi kuba babenethemba lokuyisebenzisa ukubuyela ekhaya.
U-Evansville ucacisa kuJaneway ukuba ubomi bukhulu kwiplanethi yabo kwaye bakhe iidolophu ezi-3 ezintle. Oku kutyalile umbono kuJaneway kunye neqela lakhe ukuba kufuneka bahlale kwaye baqhubeke nobomi babo kulo mhlaba phakathi kwabantu. Kwigogi kaKapteni kaJaneway, uchaze impucuko njengenkqubela phambili kwaye inobunkunkqele kwaye esithi amava akhe okukhenketha izixeko ayamangalisa. Ngoku, ingxaki yeyokuba inike abasebenzi bakhe ukhetho lokuhlala kwiplanethi ebakhumbuza ngomhlaba okanye abanyanzele ukuba baqhubeke nohambo olunobungozi olungenakuze luphele. UJaneway kunye negosa lakhe lokuqala benza isigqibo sokuqhubeka baye ekhaya kodwa bashiye isigqibo sokuba bahlale okanye bangahlali kwilungu ngalinye labasebenzi.
Kwi Ukuhamba Iholo lokudlela, u-Earhart kunye nabanye abathimba bahlala ecaleni kwetafile kwisidlo esenziwe ngumpheki wenqanawa, uNeelix. Usebenzisa umphindisi wokutya, wabalungiselela imbiza egcadiweyo kunye neembotyi eziluhlaza kunye nejello yedizethi. UNoonan, owachacha ngokukhawuleza emanxebeni akhe kwaye wajikeleza izixeko zabantu zeplanethi, wathi ubomi apho bubonakala bungcono kunoMhlaba –bonisa ukuba ngekhe akucinge nokuhlala. Umfama, othathe ilori yakhe erusi ekhokelela kolu thotho lweziganeko, ngehlombe wathi angawafezekisa amaphupha akhe okwakha ifama enkulu kulo mhlaba kwaye wonwabile malunga nethemba lomda omtsha. Ijoni laseJapan lacacisa ukuba baninzi abazalwa eJapan emhlabeni kwaye ichaza impucuko njengeparadesi.
U-Amelia Earhart, ngoku ungumntu wasentsomini nobugorha kwimbali yoluntu, akaqinisekanga ngento amakayenze. Ukuba angazama ukubuyela eMhlabeni ngaphakathi kwenkwenkwezi Ukuhamba ? Kwidesika yomyalelo, umdla ka-Earhart ngendiza ubonwa ngamehlo akhe ekhanyayo xa ephonononga imisebenzi emininzi yenqanawa. Umntu osebenza naye wamazisa ukuba Ukuhamba Unokuhamba nge-warp i-9.9 okanye i-4 yezigidi zeekhilomitha ngomzuzwana kwaye ngokulula usuka kwiplanethi uye kwiplanethi. U-Earhart uphendule ngokubuza ukuba angayithatha na inqanawa ukuba ijikeleze.
Ngaphandle kokumangalisa, u-Amelia Earhart wayechwayitile ngumbono wokuhamba emajukujukwini ade afunde nokuqhuba. Ukuhamba. Kodwa ekugqibeleni, wabona umhlaba ukuba inzala ye-37's yakha njengekhaya lakhe. Kulapho yaphela khona imfihlakalo ye-Earhart, nalapho aqala khona ubomi bakhe obutsha. Wagqiba kwelokuba ashiyeke.
Akukho nelinye ilungu le Ukuhamba Iqela lahlala kwiplanethi nge-37's kwaye phakathi kwempucuko eyakhiwe zizizukulwana zabantu ababalandelayo. Endaweni yoko, babezimisele ukubeka emngciphekweni ngokulandela iJaneway kuhambo olubonakala lungapheliyo ekhaya. Iminyaka esixhenxe, uninzi lweengozi, kunye neendlela ezimfutshane emva kwexesha, Ukuhamba Ekugqibeleni uza kubuyela eMhlabeni.
