Earth calling Voyager
Operation Watson was the first attempt by Starfleet Communications in 2378 to successfully create a communications link between Earth in the Alpha Quadrant and the USS Voyager, thirty thousand light years away in the Delta Quadrant. It involved bouncing the signal off a quantum singularity using the MIDAS array, and provided a live link for eleven minutes each day. The project itself was devised by Harry Kim and Seven of Nine, who coordinated with Reginald Barclay. (VOY: "Author, Author")
- The name "Operation Watson" likely comes from the name Thomas. A. Watson, Alexander Graham Bell's assistant, whose name was the first name ever spoken over a telephone circuit.
