Later that year, while stuck in Shuttlepod 1 with Malcolm Reed, who was trying to calculate how long they'd be without air until Enterprise NX-01 came back for them, Trip Tucker recalled that type of math problem typified by the question "a train leaves New York at three AM heading west, while another leaves Chicago at four thirty heading east." He recalled never being able to figure out those kinds of problems. (ENT: "Shuttlepod One")

In 2371, an away team from the USS Voyager discovered there was a geological shift in a cave system on Avery III when they compared the initial geological scan with the most recent scan.
