20-Second 'Author, Author' Promo Available

After 'Q2' aired last night, UPN debuted the promo for next week's Voyager episode, 'Author, Author. As outlined in our extensive synopsis published earlier this week, much of the episode is set in a novel created by the Holodoc, featuring the crew of the Starship Vortex. In the promo, we already get to see many of the alternate versions of Voyager crew members present in the episode.

Courtesy of Mr. Video Productions, a digitised version of the clip is now available. For the bandwidth-impaired, here is first a full transcript of the clip:

HAS VOYAGER ENTERED A PARALLEL UNIVERSE?

One of Three: "It hurts when I do this."
