1
00:00:02,535 --> 00:00:06,596
Captain's Log, Stardate 48734.2.

2
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:08,140
Sometimes it's a good idea

3
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:10,870
to get away from being
a Captain for awhile.

4
00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:13,105
To that end,
l've started participating

5
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:14,976
in a new holonovel.

6
00:00:15,048 --> 00:00:16,811
The setting is ancient England.

7
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:24,549
The drawing room is in here.

8
00:00:26,593 --> 00:00:28,254
Bridget, take
Mrs. Davenport's cape

9
00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:29,920
and tell Lord Burleigh
that she's here.

10
00:00:29,996 --> 00:00:30,928
Yes, ma'am.

11
00:00:30,997 --> 00:00:32,692
There's tea.

12
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:34,324
That would be lovely.

13
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:35,527
Thank you.

14
00:00:37,437 --> 00:00:39,405
Tea is usually served at 5:30,

15
00:00:39,472 --> 00:00:41,497
and dinner is at 8:30.

16
00:00:41,574 --> 00:00:44,839
His Lordship doesn't appreciate
being kept waiting.

17
00:00:44,911 --> 00:00:47,345
l'll be sure to be prompt.

18
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:48,381
Yes, ma'am.

19
00:00:52,152 --> 00:00:55,212
Let's make something clear,
Mrs. Davenport.

20
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:57,552
My job is to make sure

21
00:00:57,624 --> 00:00:59,649
that this household
runs smoothly.

22
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:02,718
l have been with Lord Burleigh
for nearly 20 years

23
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:05,890
because this household
runs smoothly.

24
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:08,559
He has come to trust me

25
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:10,933
and l will not brook
any behavior

26
00:01:11,004 --> 00:01:13,302
that might jeopardize
that trust.

27
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:15,898
So you will be expected
to follow the rules

28
00:01:15,975 --> 00:01:17,499
that l have set down.

29
00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:21,513
Mrs. Templeton...

30
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:23,105
l have no wish to do anything

31
00:01:23,183 --> 00:01:24,912
that might disrupt
this household,

32
00:01:24,984 --> 00:01:29,148
but let me make something
perfectly clear.

33
00:01:29,222 --> 00:01:31,622
l have been hired
by Lord Burleigh,

34
00:01:31,691 --> 00:01:36,355
and it's his orders
l will follow, not yours.

35
00:01:38,164 --> 00:01:41,895
You would be wise
not to make an enemy of me.

36
00:01:41,968 --> 00:01:44,198
l can make sure
we have another governess

37
00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:46,204
by next week.

38
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:49,503
l suggest we try to get along,
Mrs. Templeton.

39
00:01:49,576 --> 00:01:52,807
Surely there's room here
for both of us?

40
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:59,910
One lump or two?

41
00:02:02,021 --> 00:02:04,512
Two, please.

42
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:13,895
Lord Burleigh will
be here directly.

43
00:03:03,716 --> 00:03:04,740
Forgive me.

44
00:03:04,817 --> 00:03:06,079
l've startled you.

45
00:03:06,152 --> 00:03:07,346
l'm sorry.

46
00:03:07,420 --> 00:03:08,819
l didn't hear you come in.

47
00:03:08,888 --> 00:03:12,289
Mrs. Davenport,
l'll come to the point.

48
00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:15,691
l am not an easy man
to live with.

49
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:19,095
Since my wife died,
l'm told l'm even worse.

50
00:03:20,567 --> 00:03:22,933
She was a buffer for me.

51
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:24,094
l understand.

52
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:26,968
The children are the ones
who've suffered.

53
00:03:27,073 --> 00:03:28,597
l've not been much
of a father to them,

54
00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:29,642
and God knows,

55
00:03:29,709 --> 00:03:31,006
l can't be a mother.

56
00:03:33,446 --> 00:03:35,346
l'm not asking
that you replace their mother,

57
00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:38,316
but l think they'll respond
to a woman's sensibilities.

58
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:39,783
You might fill a void
in their lives.

59
00:03:39,852 --> 00:03:43,288
l'll certainly try, Your Grace.

60
00:03:43,356 --> 00:03:45,722
Young Henry
is sometimes a bit stubborn,

61
00:03:45,792 --> 00:03:49,888
and little Beatrice...
misses her mother terribly.

62
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:52,898
l hope they won't make
things difficult for you.

63
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:58,636
One thing above all
l must demand.

64
00:03:58,705 --> 00:04:01,572
You are never,
under any circumstances,

65
00:04:01,641 --> 00:04:05,008
to go onto the fourth floor,
is that clear?

66
00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:07,239
Bridge to Captain Janeway.

67
00:04:07,313 --> 00:04:09,338
Go ahead, Mr. Kim.

68
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:10,814
l've got Commander Chakotay

69
00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:13,181
and Mr. Tuvok's shuttlecraft
on long-range sensors,

70
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:15,380
but they're not responding
to our hails.

71
00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:17,082
The shuttle's
been badly damaged.

72
00:04:17,156 --> 00:04:18,919
l'm reading
multiple hull fractures.

73
00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:20,016
Life signs?

74
00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:22,220
Two, but they're very faint.

75
00:04:22,295 --> 00:04:23,922
Beam them to Sick Bay
as soon as they're in range.

76
00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:25,156
l'm on my way.

77
00:04:25,231 --> 00:04:26,528
Aye, Captain.

78
00:04:32,872 --> 00:04:34,066
Doctor.

79
00:04:34,140 --> 00:04:35,505
They've each taken
a blast to the head

80
00:04:35,575 --> 00:04:37,270
by some kind
of energy discharge.

81
00:04:37,343 --> 00:04:38,367
Cardiostimulator.

82
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:40,776
Mr. Tuvok has
a serious concussion,

83
00:04:40,847 --> 00:04:42,246
but it's nothing l can't handle.

84
00:04:42,315 --> 00:04:43,976
As for Commander Chakotay...

85
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:45,347
all of the bio-neural energy

86
00:04:45,418 --> 00:04:46,976
has been extracted
from his brain.

87
00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:48,247
Extracted?

88
00:04:48,321 --> 00:04:50,983
Yes, from the looks of it,
someone drained the energy

89
00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:52,854
from every single
axon and dendrite

90
00:04:52,925 --> 00:04:54,222
right down to the synapses.

91
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:55,226
l can keep his heart beating,

92
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:56,284
and l can keep him breathing,

93
00:04:56,362 --> 00:04:58,296
but other than that,
there's nothing l can do.

94
00:04:59,766 --> 00:05:01,324
He's brain dead.

95
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:57,344
The attack lasted
no more than a few seconds,

96
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:58,907
but it was highly effective.

97
00:06:58,985 --> 00:07:02,011
l feel Commander Chakotay and l
are fortunate to be alive.

98
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:03,612
What happened, Lieutenant?

99
00:07:03,689 --> 00:07:05,987
We had completed our trade
mission with the llidarians

100
00:07:06,058 --> 00:07:08,151
and were on course
to the rendezvous point

101
00:07:08,227 --> 00:07:10,718
when we encountered
a dark-matter nebula.

102
00:07:10,797 --> 00:07:13,095
As we began a routine analysis,

103
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:16,260
an unidentified ship emerged
and attacked our shuttle.

104
00:07:16,335 --> 00:07:17,700
Any idea why?

105
00:07:17,770 --> 00:07:20,796
No. They would not
respond to our hails.

106
00:07:20,873 --> 00:07:23,569
We were hit
by an energy discharge,

107
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:26,703
which penetrated our shields,
and filled the cabin.

108
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:28,747
Commander Chakotay
lost consciousness

109
00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:30,908
immediately,
and l was barely able

110
00:07:31,017 --> 00:07:33,815
to activate the autopilot
before l was overcome as well.

111
00:07:33,886 --> 00:07:35,615
And the alien ship?

112
00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:37,884
The last image l saw

113
00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:40,425
was the ship
flying back into the nebula,

114
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:43,621
but the details
are difficult to remember.

115
00:07:43,696 --> 00:07:46,460
Can you tell me anything
about the energy discharge--

116
00:07:46,532 --> 00:07:48,932
its modulation
or phase distribution?

117
00:07:49,001 --> 00:07:49,933
No.

118
00:07:50,036 --> 00:07:52,197
There was no time
for a detailed analysis.

119
00:07:52,271 --> 00:07:56,207
However, the shuttle's sensors
may have recorded information

120
00:07:56,275 --> 00:07:57,537
that could be helpful.

121
00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:59,168
l will download the sensor logs.

122
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:01,008
Why would someone
want to extract

123
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,980
his bio-neural energy?

124
00:08:03,049 --> 00:08:05,813
l don't know,
but if l'm to have

125
00:08:05,885 --> 00:08:07,785
any hope of reviving him,
l must know precisely

126
00:08:07,854 --> 00:08:09,845
how his neurons were depleted.

127
00:08:09,922 --> 00:08:12,390
lt would be a great help
if l could examine the weapon.

128
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:15,024
We're going back to that nebula

129
00:08:15,094 --> 00:08:16,220
to try to find the ship
that attacked you.

130
00:08:16,295 --> 00:08:17,387
to try to find the ship
that attacked you.

131
00:08:17,463 --> 00:08:18,725
Janeway to Bridge.

132
00:08:18,798 --> 00:08:20,493
Prepare to lay in a new course.

133
00:08:20,566 --> 00:08:22,534
Mr. Tuvok will provide
you with the coordinates.

134
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:23,534
Aye, Captain.

135
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:25,332
We'll keep you posted, Doctor.

136
00:08:38,217 --> 00:08:39,343
The energy discharge

137
00:08:39,418 --> 00:08:41,682
overloaded the shuttlecraft's
central computer core.

138
00:08:41,754 --> 00:08:43,551
All sensor data
have been erased.

139
00:08:43,623 --> 00:08:45,853
Lieutenant Torres
is in Sick Bay now.

140
00:08:45,925 --> 00:08:47,415
When she reports,
tell her to go over

141
00:08:47,493 --> 00:08:49,791
those damaged sensor logs
with a fine-tooth comb

142
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:51,830
to see if she can reconstruct
any of the data.

143
00:08:51,898 --> 00:08:52,830
Aye, Captain.

144
00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:54,059
Well, this is going
to make things

145
00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:55,191
a little more difficult.

146
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:57,133
l've been using
the long-range sensors

147
00:08:57,203 --> 00:08:59,228
to analyze the nebula
you discovered.

148
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:02,069
lt's sending out strong
electromagnetic radiation.

149
00:09:02,141 --> 00:09:05,201
We won't be able
to scan inside it.

150
00:09:07,079 --> 00:09:10,742
You know, it sounds to me
like a perfect hiding place.

151
00:09:10,816 --> 00:09:12,078
l agree.

152
00:09:12,151 --> 00:09:15,018
l don't like the idea
of going in there blind.

153
00:09:15,087 --> 00:09:16,714
Let me see if l can
reconfigure the sensors

154
00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:18,780
to a multiphasic bandwidth.

155
00:09:20,693 --> 00:09:22,160
ls there a problem?

156
00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:25,493
l've lost all sensor contact
with the nebula.

157
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:28,159
l don't understand.

158
00:09:29,302 --> 00:09:31,133
Wait a minute.
We've altered course.

159
00:09:31,203 --> 00:09:32,170
Mr. Paris?

160
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:35,765
Our new heading is 121 mark 6.

161
00:09:35,841 --> 00:09:38,503
We've completely
come about, Captain,

162
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,045
but it wasn't me.

163
00:09:40,112 --> 00:09:42,137
Mr. Kim, check
the navigational computer.

164
00:09:42,214 --> 00:09:44,205
Who ordered the course change?

165
00:09:44,283 --> 00:09:46,217
According to my readings,

166
00:09:46,285 --> 00:09:48,583
the command was issued
from the conn.

167
00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:51,785
l'm telling you, it wasn't me.

168
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:54,291
And the helm controls
are working perfectly--

169
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,793
no sign of a malfunction.

170
00:09:56,796 --> 00:09:58,161
Ensign, transfer helm control

171
00:09:58,230 --> 00:10:00,494
to your station,
and reset our original course.

172
00:10:00,566 --> 00:10:02,932
Course laid in.

173
00:10:03,035 --> 00:10:05,196
Mr. Paris, l want you to run

174
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:07,262
a full diagnostic
on the conn station.

175
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,807
See if you can isolate
the problem.

176
00:10:08,874 --> 00:10:10,102
Aye, Captain.

177
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:35,127
You might have asked
before adorning my Sick Bay

178
00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:37,135
with animal remains.

179
00:10:37,203 --> 00:10:39,000
lt's a medicine wheel--

180
00:10:39,105 --> 00:10:41,835
a talisman
used by Chakotay's tribe.

181
00:10:41,907 --> 00:10:45,343
He once...
showed me how it works.

182
00:10:45,411 --> 00:10:48,380
He said if anything
ever happened to him

183
00:10:48,447 --> 00:10:50,745
that l should perform
a special healing ritual.

184
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:54,377
The wheel represents
both the universe outside

185
00:10:54,453 --> 00:10:56,717
and the universe
inside our minds as well.

186
00:10:56,789 --> 00:10:59,587
They believe each
is a reflection of the other.

187
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:04,562
When a person is sleeping
or on a vision quest,

188
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:09,124
it's said that his soul is
walking the wheel, but if he's

189
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:14,572
in a coma, or near death,
it means that he's gotten lost.

190
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:20,169
These stones are signposts...

191
00:11:20,246 --> 00:11:22,646
to help point the way back.

192
00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:31,280
Not exactly standard medical
procedure, l know, but...

193
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:34,087
You've placed the coyote stone

194
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,924
at the crossroads
of the Fifth and Sixth Realms,

195
00:11:36,996 --> 00:11:39,863
which would divert
Commander Chakotay's soul--

196
00:11:39,932 --> 00:11:41,160
that is, his consciousness--

197
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:43,326
into the Mountains
of the Antelope Women,

198
00:11:43,402 --> 00:11:46,371
according to his tradition
an extremely attractive locale.

199
00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:47,997
He might not want to leave.

200
00:11:48,074 --> 00:11:50,975
How do you know
about the medicine wheel?

201
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:51,975
lt's my business to know

202
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:53,705
about a variety
of medical treatments,

203
00:11:53,779 --> 00:11:57,044
including those based
on psycho-spiritual beliefs.

204
00:11:57,149 --> 00:11:59,049
Unfortunately, in this case,

205
00:11:59,118 --> 00:12:01,484
the medicine wheel
won't be much help.

206
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:04,990
There's just not enough
of his mind left to work with.

207
00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:25,004
Find your way home, Commander.

208
00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:43,488
Hello?

209
00:12:54,006 --> 00:12:55,803
ls someone here?

210
00:13:15,361 --> 00:13:17,329
lt's like...

211
00:13:17,396 --> 00:13:20,092
sensing some kind of presence--

212
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:21,963
as if someone else were here.

213
00:13:23,869 --> 00:13:27,327
Your telepathic senses again.

214
00:13:27,406 --> 00:13:32,139
ls this like last week,
when you went into Sick Bay,

215
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:34,645
and you knew Lieutenant Hargrove
had been there

216
00:13:34,713 --> 00:13:36,647
only he'd left hours before?

217
00:13:36,715 --> 00:13:38,740
lt's not the same.

218
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:40,649
That was like...

219
00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:45,588
like hearing faint music
from a faraway place.

220
00:13:47,693 --> 00:13:49,593
When l was
in my quarters just now...

221
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:50,594
Mm-hmm.

222
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:52,995
it was almost tangible.

223
00:13:53,098 --> 00:13:55,396
l felt like there was someone
in the room with me.

224
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:56,399
Who was it?

225
00:13:56,468 --> 00:13:57,935
l don't know.

226
00:13:58,003 --> 00:14:00,437
A presence.

227
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:02,804
That's all l can say.

228
00:14:02,875 --> 00:14:06,140
Warp engines still within
normal parameters, Captain.

229
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:09,777
We just changed course again.

230
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:11,680
Mr. Kim?

231
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:14,082
Our new heading is 121 mark 6.

232
00:14:14,153 --> 00:14:15,586
Get us back on course.

233
00:14:17,122 --> 00:14:19,181
The helm's not responding.

234
00:14:19,258 --> 00:14:21,692
l'm locked out.

235
00:14:33,672 --> 00:14:35,572
This command station
has been blocked.

236
00:14:35,641 --> 00:14:36,801
From where?

237
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:39,936
The lockout originated
on Deck 12, Section B-7--

238
00:14:40,045 --> 00:14:40,977
navigational control.

239
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:42,911
See if you can
reestablish control.

240
00:14:44,783 --> 00:14:47,308
l've checked every ODN junction
in the helm control network

241
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:48,876
and l still can't find
the problem.

242
00:14:48,954 --> 00:14:50,751
Seems we've developed
a new problem

243
00:14:50,823 --> 00:14:51,755
while you were gone.

244
00:14:51,824 --> 00:14:53,291
Helm control reestablished.

245
00:14:53,359 --> 00:14:54,986
Get us back on course
for the nebula.

246
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:56,527
Janeway to Torres.

247
00:14:56,595 --> 00:14:57,527
Torres here.

248
00:14:57,596 --> 00:14:59,154
Who's in the
navigational control?

249
00:14:59,231 --> 00:15:00,664
No one right now.

250
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:02,791
l was there this morning,
and Lieutenant Paris

251
00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:04,769
was in there
just a few minutes ago.

252
00:15:04,837 --> 00:15:06,805
That's not true.

253
00:15:06,872 --> 00:15:08,567
Are you certain about that,
B'Elanna?

254
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:11,439
Positive. l just saw him leave
about five minutes ago.

255
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:13,842
Janeway out.

256
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:16,473
Explanation, Mr. Paris.

257
00:15:17,483 --> 00:15:19,246
l passed by
the navigational control

258
00:15:19,318 --> 00:15:22,014
on my way back from the
Jefferies tube, but that's all.

259
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:26,820
Am l being accused of something
here?

260
00:15:26,892 --> 00:15:27,916
We are merely following

261
00:15:27,993 --> 00:15:30,154
a line of deductive
reasoning, Lieutenant.

262
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:31,856
Both deviations from our course

263
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,831
were apparently issued
from locations

264
00:15:33,899 --> 00:15:35,127
where you were working.

265
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,930
l'm telling you, l didn't do it.

266
00:15:38,070 --> 00:15:41,471
Well, l'm willing to rule out
mutiny for the time being.

267
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:43,667
l believe you, Mr. Paris,

268
00:15:43,742 --> 00:15:45,471
but we have to consider
the possibility

269
00:15:45,544 --> 00:15:47,876
that you might be having
a problem with your memory.

270
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,437
l want you to go
down to Sick Bay.

271
00:15:49,515 --> 00:15:51,312
Have the Doctor check you out.

272
00:15:51,383 --> 00:15:52,975
All right.

273
00:15:53,052 --> 00:15:54,747
Lieutenant Durst.

274
00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:12,169
Neurotransmitters at normal.

275
00:16:12,237 --> 00:16:14,501
Synaptic functions stable.

276
00:16:14,573 --> 00:16:15,665
Hold still.

277
00:16:15,741 --> 00:16:18,005
This is an extremely
sensitive scan.

278
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:22,914
What l wouldn't give to see
good old Doc Brown right now.

279
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:23,914
What?

280
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:25,348
Doc Brown.

281
00:16:25,417 --> 00:16:27,715
Lollipops in the waiting room,

282
00:16:27,786 --> 00:16:30,482
no holocomic books
more than six months old,

283
00:16:30,556 --> 00:16:32,080
house calls.

284
00:16:32,157 --> 00:16:35,320
l caught a bad cold one time
when l was nine years old.

285
00:16:35,394 --> 00:16:37,760
The doctor whipped up
a pot of garlic soup

286
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:39,422
and brought it over himself.

287
00:16:40,466 --> 00:16:41,694
Your report, Doctor.

288
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:43,564
l still have
a series of tests to perform,

289
00:16:43,635 --> 00:16:47,230
but other than his irritating
lapses into nostalgia,

290
00:16:47,306 --> 00:16:48,773
l see nothing wrong with him.

291
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,776
l guess you're going to have to
round up another suspect, Tuvok.

292
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:53,744
On the contrary, Lieutenant.

293
00:16:53,812 --> 00:16:56,906
l ran a forensics sweep
of the navigational control.

294
00:16:56,982 --> 00:16:59,815
l found traces of your DNA
on the console.

295
00:16:59,885 --> 00:17:01,318
That's impossible.

296
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:03,513
The cellular residue
you left behind

297
00:17:03,555 --> 00:17:05,079
is less than 12 hours old.

298
00:17:05,157 --> 00:17:08,285
Do you still wish to maintain
your innocence?

299
00:17:09,328 --> 00:17:11,956
To be honest,
l don't know what to think.

300
00:17:13,332 --> 00:17:16,665
Perhaps my biomolecular scan
will reveal something.

301
00:17:16,735 --> 00:17:19,397
Keep me informed, Doctor.

302
00:17:32,684 --> 00:17:34,413
l believe l have found
the ion trail

303
00:17:34,486 --> 00:17:35,919
of the ship that attacked us.

304
00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:38,388
lt leads directly
into the dark-matter nebula.

305
00:17:38,457 --> 00:17:40,118
This is the nebula...

306
00:17:40,192 --> 00:17:42,592
and this is the ion trail.

307
00:17:42,661 --> 00:17:43,923
As you can see,

308
00:17:44,029 --> 00:17:45,792
their flight path
is highly erratic.

309
00:17:45,864 --> 00:17:47,559
These planetoids
inside the nebula,

310
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:48,600
they may be generating

311
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:50,862
a dangerous
gravitational effect--

312
00:17:50,936 --> 00:17:52,267
like storm currents.

313
00:17:52,337 --> 00:17:54,328
Chances are they've
mapped those currents

314
00:17:54,406 --> 00:17:56,567
and they're taking
the only safe way through.

315
00:17:56,642 --> 00:17:58,234
A reasonable assumption.

316
00:17:58,310 --> 00:18:00,301
l recommend we follow
their exact flight path.

317
00:18:00,379 --> 00:18:02,438
Agreed.
Lay in a course to the...

318
00:18:02,514 --> 00:18:04,846
Captain, we're dropping
to impulse power.

319
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:07,681
l'm reading a massive
energy drain all over the ship,

320
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:10,278
and the warp core
is shutting down.

321
00:18:10,355 --> 00:18:11,822
Bridge to Engineering.
Report.

322
00:18:11,890 --> 00:18:14,757
Lieutenant Torres,
please respond.

323
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,023
Mr. Kim, take the Bridge.

324
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:18,120
Tuvok, you're with me.

325
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:23,224
Torres, what's going on?

326
00:18:23,302 --> 00:18:24,530
Captain?

327
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:26,833
You've initiated
an emergency warp core shutdown.

328
00:18:26,905 --> 00:18:27,872
What?!

329
00:18:29,508 --> 00:18:31,738
Too late.
The warp core is off-line.

330
00:18:31,810 --> 00:18:32,868
lt'll take at least two hours

331
00:18:32,978 --> 00:18:34,377
to regenerate
the dilithium matrix.

332
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:37,074
Ensign, get the rest
of the systems back on line.

333
00:18:37,149 --> 00:18:41,108
Apparently, you've just crashed
the main computer,

334
00:18:41,186 --> 00:18:44,451
locked out the Bridge
and stopped this ship cold.

335
00:18:44,523 --> 00:18:46,252
Do you want to tell me why?

336
00:18:46,325 --> 00:18:49,158
Captain, l don't know
what you're talking about.

337
00:18:52,531 --> 00:18:54,965
What the hell is going on here?

338
00:18:59,705 --> 00:19:02,697
l've found something
and you're not going to like it.

339
00:19:04,510 --> 00:19:08,378
This is Mr. Paris' memory engram
for the last 24 hours.

340
00:19:08,447 --> 00:19:10,472
As you can see,
it has a very consistent

341
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:14,610
and distinctive modulation,
except at 1350 hours.

342
00:19:14,686 --> 00:19:15,846
For one minute, 47 seconds,

343
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:18,685
a different memory pattern
appeared.

344
00:19:18,757 --> 00:19:21,248
1350 hours is also
the exact moment when Mr. Paris

345
00:19:21,326 --> 00:19:23,726
presumably tampered
with navigational control.

346
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:25,697
lt gets worse.

347
00:19:25,764 --> 00:19:27,129
ln addition to that,

348
00:19:27,199 --> 00:19:29,759
there is another disruption
at 1202 hours,

349
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:32,030
the moment
when he allegedly entered

350
00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:33,731
the new course at the helm.

351
00:19:33,805 --> 00:19:36,239
l also found there's
an identical disruption

352
00:19:36,308 --> 00:19:38,742
in Lieutenant Torres' pattern,
at the moment

353
00:19:38,810 --> 00:19:40,402
she shut down warp power.

354
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:41,878
l should point out that this

355
00:19:41,947 --> 00:19:44,142
is a neural electrical
signature--

356
00:19:44,216 --> 00:19:46,116
what l believe to be
another brain wave

357
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,050
that was superimposed
on their own.

358
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,644
Another brain wave?

359
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:50,653
Whose?

360
00:19:50,722 --> 00:19:51,654
l don't know.

361
00:19:51,723 --> 00:19:54,920
lt has an unusual
energy signature,

362
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:56,517
one l've never seen before.

363
00:19:56,595 --> 00:20:00,531
Doctor...
what are you saying?

364
00:20:01,767 --> 00:20:03,735
One possible explanation--

365
00:20:03,802 --> 00:20:06,134
and the only one
l can think of at the moment--

366
00:20:06,205 --> 00:20:08,696
is that an unknown
alien entity

367
00:20:08,774 --> 00:20:11,504
momentarily took control
of their minds.

368
00:20:11,577 --> 00:20:12,601
lntruder alert.

369
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:15,738
All security personnel
go to Condition 4.

370
00:20:15,814 --> 00:20:17,304
Captain, it is possible

371
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:20,283
the intruder returned with us
in the shuttlecraft.

372
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:23,450
lf we're right...

373
00:20:23,522 --> 00:20:26,980
and there is an alien here,

374
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:31,553
it seems intent on preventing us
from going back to the nebula.

375
00:20:31,630 --> 00:20:34,997
What's more,
it seems to have the ability

376
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:37,797
to jump from person to person.

377
00:20:37,869 --> 00:20:42,135
lf that's true,
it could be in any one of us,

378
00:20:42,207 --> 00:20:46,041
controlling our actions
without us realizing it.

379
00:20:46,111 --> 00:20:48,875
Well, except for me.

380
00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:52,178
That's true.

381
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:55,516
So far it's only affected
organic beings.

382
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:57,054
lf it could control the computer

383
00:20:57,122 --> 00:20:58,680
and navigational systems
directly,

384
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:00,952
it probably would've
done it already.

385
00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:03,654
Which means...

386
00:21:03,729 --> 00:21:06,027
the Doctor is
the only person on board

387
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:07,793
we can trust at this moment.

388
00:21:11,803 --> 00:21:13,771
Doctor...

389
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:17,104
until we have eliminated
this alien presence,

390
00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:18,164
l can't take the risk

391
00:21:18,243 --> 00:21:20,939
that it could take over
any of the senior officers.

392
00:21:22,547 --> 00:21:25,311
l'd like to transfer
all command codes to you

393
00:21:25,384 --> 00:21:26,976
until further notice.

394
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:30,544
W-What would that mean?

395
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:31,850
That l am in command?

396
00:21:31,923 --> 00:21:36,121
No. But you will act
as a fail-safe.

397
00:21:36,194 --> 00:21:37,957
lf you feel at any time

398
00:21:38,030 --> 00:21:40,590
that any of us are under
the influence of the alien...

399
00:21:41,933 --> 00:21:45,994
you can countermand our orders
and take control of the ship.

400
00:21:46,104 --> 00:21:48,197
Do you feel up to it?

401
00:21:48,273 --> 00:21:50,173
Well, of course.

402
00:21:50,242 --> 00:21:52,802
l make life and death
decisions every day.

403
00:21:52,878 --> 00:21:54,539
l feel better already.

404
00:21:54,613 --> 00:21:58,549
Computer, transfer all command
codes to the holographic doctor.

405
00:21:58,617 --> 00:22:02,109
Authorization: Janeway-eight-
four-one-alpha-six-five.

406
00:22:02,187 --> 00:22:04,655
Command code transfer complete.

407
00:22:04,723 --> 00:22:06,247
Let's see if we can get
the warp core

408
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:07,815
back on line ahead of schedule.

409
00:22:07,893 --> 00:22:08,860
Aye, Captain.

410
00:22:09,861 --> 00:22:12,295
Captain, l heard
what's happened.

411
00:22:12,364 --> 00:22:13,763
l think you're right.

412
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:15,663
There is an alien presence here.

413
00:22:15,734 --> 00:22:18,396
l've been sensing
something unusual all day.

414
00:22:18,570 --> 00:22:19,537
l don't know
how to describe it,

415
00:22:19,604 --> 00:22:20,764
but l know there's
something here.

416
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:21,806
Do you know where?

417
00:22:21,873 --> 00:22:24,364
No. Just that it's on the ship.

418
00:22:24,443 --> 00:22:26,707
Captain, Kes's
telepathic abilities

419
00:22:26,778 --> 00:22:28,075
are undisciplined.

420
00:22:28,146 --> 00:22:30,706
lf l could initiate
a Vulcan mind-meld with her,

421
00:22:30,782 --> 00:22:33,114
l may be able to help her focus
those abilities

422
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:34,982
to detect the alien
more accurately.

423
00:22:35,053 --> 00:22:37,112
l'm willing to do that.

424
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:39,282
Very well.

425
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:40,882
Proceed, Mr. Tuvok.

426
00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:53,903
The Captain wants to seal off
all critical areas of the ship.

427
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:55,303
Make sure the access hatch

428
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:57,137
of Jefferies Tube
A-17 is secured.

429
00:22:57,209 --> 00:23:00,007
So what exactly
are we securing against?

430
00:23:00,045 --> 00:23:01,569
We're not sure yet,
but we think

431
00:23:01,613 --> 00:23:03,478
it's some kind of
noncorporeal alien.

432
00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:04,572
Noncorporeal?

433
00:23:04,649 --> 00:23:07,618
That means it can probably move
right through a bul...

434
00:23:07,686 --> 00:23:10,484
Medical emergency, Deck 7
Section 13-Alpha.

435
00:23:16,895 --> 00:23:19,261
Captain's Log, supplemental.

436
00:23:19,331 --> 00:23:21,663
lt appears that Mr. Tuvok
and Kes were both hit

437
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:24,099
by an unidentified
energy discharge.

438
00:23:24,169 --> 00:23:28,606
Tuvok was not badly hurt,
but Kes is in a coma.

439
00:23:28,673 --> 00:23:30,868
lt was similar to the attack
on the shuttlecraft--

440
00:23:30,942 --> 00:23:33,410
an energy discharge
came through the bulkhead,

441
00:23:33,478 --> 00:23:35,742
filled the turbolift
and hit both of us.

442
00:23:35,814 --> 00:23:37,975
We didn't pick up
a discharge of any kind

443
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:39,346
on the internal sensors.

444
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:42,251
Perhaps this type of energy
is beyond our sensor bandwidth.

445
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,514
Perhaps.

446
00:23:43,588 --> 00:23:45,988
But that discharge
had to come from somewhere.

447
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:48,992
The most thorough
scanning device we have on board

448
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:50,687
is a magneton scanner.

449
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:52,992
We could search the ship
centimeter by centimeter,

450
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:54,861
but that wouldn't do much good.

451
00:23:54,933 --> 00:23:57,424
This alien could be
anywhere at any time.

452
00:23:57,502 --> 00:24:00,471
But what if we could perform
a magneton scan

453
00:24:00,539 --> 00:24:02,734
on the entire ship all at once?

454
00:24:02,808 --> 00:24:04,207
What do you suggest?

455
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:06,301
A magneton flash-scan.

456
00:24:06,378 --> 00:24:09,074
We could reconfigure
every sensor array

457
00:24:09,147 --> 00:24:11,615
on the ship to emit
a single burst.

458
00:24:11,683 --> 00:24:14,311
lt might be enough to illuminate
any anomalous energy.

459
00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:15,648
Harry, what do you think?

460
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:25,554
Whoa!

461
00:24:25,630 --> 00:24:27,257
What did l do?

462
00:24:27,332 --> 00:24:28,697
Stay where you are, Mr. Kim.

463
00:24:28,767 --> 00:24:30,894
l don't see anything unusual,

464
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:33,233
but that doesn't mean anything.

465
00:24:33,305 --> 00:24:34,465
Mr. Kim?

466
00:24:34,539 --> 00:24:36,598
What were you doing just now?

467
00:24:36,675 --> 00:24:39,439
l was just thinking.

468
00:24:39,511 --> 00:24:41,911
l was remembering
an old study l saw

469
00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:44,642
about magneton scanners.

470
00:24:46,885 --> 00:24:49,615
l guess my mind
started to wander a bit.

471
00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:52,816
l'm very disturbed
by what just happened here.

472
00:24:54,793 --> 00:24:56,920
We don't have
any idea what occurs

473
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:59,589
when someone is occupied
by this alien presence.

474
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:02,599
lf we start pointing
a finger every time

475
00:25:02,701 --> 00:25:03,759
someone gets distracted,

476
00:25:03,802 --> 00:25:05,667
it won't be long
before outright paranoia

477
00:25:05,737 --> 00:25:07,466
starts sweeping the ship.

478
00:25:07,539 --> 00:25:11,100
Tuvok, B'Elanna, l want
you to get started

479
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:13,041
on that magneton flash-scan.

480
00:25:13,111 --> 00:25:14,135
lt's worth a try.

481
00:25:14,212 --> 00:25:16,612
Dismissed.

482
00:25:20,051 --> 00:25:21,916
And that's not all.

483
00:25:21,987 --> 00:25:25,423
Ensign Parsons
ordered his pejuta cold.

484
00:25:25,490 --> 00:25:26,422
So?

485
00:25:26,491 --> 00:25:28,823
He always drinks it hot, hot!

486
00:25:28,894 --> 00:25:30,452
With lemon... but not today.

487
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:33,623
Today, it's cold pejuta,
hold the lemon.

488
00:25:33,698 --> 00:25:36,132
Mr. Neelix, just because a
man changes his drink order,

489
00:25:36,201 --> 00:25:38,533
doesn't mean he's
possessed by an alien.

490
00:25:38,603 --> 00:25:40,298
Nevertheless, don't you think

491
00:25:40,372 --> 00:25:44,331
you should... scan him
or dissect him or something,

492
00:25:44,409 --> 00:25:45,876
just to make sure?

493
00:25:45,944 --> 00:25:47,502
l could examine
every crew member

494
00:25:47,579 --> 00:25:48,807
you've mentioned so far,

495
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,745
every person on board
for that matter,

496
00:25:50,815 --> 00:25:52,180
and it wouldn't do any good.

497
00:25:52,250 --> 00:25:54,514
From what we can tell,
the alien can jump

498
00:25:54,586 --> 00:25:56,213
from person to person at will.

499
00:25:56,288 --> 00:26:00,452
Sounds to me like you're
defending Ensign Parsons.

500
00:26:00,525 --> 00:26:01,992
l'm not defending him.

501
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:03,254
l'm just pointing out

502
00:26:03,328 --> 00:26:05,455
that you're acting
a little paranoid.

503
00:26:05,530 --> 00:26:06,963
ln fact...

504
00:26:07,032 --> 00:26:10,229
one could say you're acting
a little too paranoid.

505
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:11,826
Are you suggesting that l...?

506
00:26:11,903 --> 00:26:13,530
That l could possibly...?

507
00:26:13,605 --> 00:26:16,870
Doctor, l can assure you,
not even an alien intruder

508
00:26:17,008 --> 00:26:19,374
could make me do
anything to hurt Kes.

509
00:26:21,780 --> 00:26:23,873
All l'm suggesting, Mr. Neelix,

510
00:26:23,949 --> 00:26:26,110
is that paranoia is only
going to aggravate

511
00:26:26,184 --> 00:26:28,675
your already precarious
emotional condition.

512
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:30,584
Try to relax.

513
00:26:30,655 --> 00:26:32,680
l don't think Kes has suffered

514
00:26:32,757 --> 00:26:35,089
any permanent
neurological damage.

515
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,491
l'll let you know the moment

516
00:26:36,561 --> 00:26:38,358
l've had any success
in reviving her.

517
00:26:39,631 --> 00:26:41,360
l'll be back
as soon as you wake,

518
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:42,764
dearest, and don't worry.

519
00:26:42,834 --> 00:26:44,062
You're in good hands.

520
00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:47,665
Thank you, Doctor.

521
00:26:54,212 --> 00:26:55,543
What are you doing?

522
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:58,105
l am reconfiguring the
sensor relays on the ship.

523
00:26:58,183 --> 00:26:59,275
This will only take a minute.

524
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:00,375
Must you do it now?

525
00:27:00,485 --> 00:27:02,419
l'm in the middle
of a treatment.

526
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:04,786
l am sorry, Doctor.
Captain's orders.

527
00:27:04,856 --> 00:27:06,824
How is she?

528
00:27:06,891 --> 00:27:08,916
No irreparable damage.

529
00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:12,522
ln fact, her injuries
are quite different

530
00:27:12,597 --> 00:27:14,258
from Commander Chakotay's.

531
00:27:14,332 --> 00:27:16,630
Her bio-neural energy
is completely intact,

532
00:27:16,701 --> 00:27:18,566
and l'm curious
about these contusions

533
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:19,865
on her neck and shoulder.

534
00:27:19,971 --> 00:27:22,565
They're not consistent
with an energy discharge.

535
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:23,869
They look more like wounds

536
00:27:23,975 --> 00:27:25,840
sustained during
a physical struggle.

537
00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:30,404
Odd. There was no physical
struggle that l can recall.

538
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,245
l just don't understand it.

539
00:27:32,317 --> 00:27:34,911
The only thing these injuries
come close to resembling

540
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:38,012
is an extreme trauma
to the trapezius nerve bundle.

541
00:27:38,089 --> 00:27:41,616
lt's as though her nerve fibers
have been ruptured.

542
00:27:44,462 --> 00:27:45,895
Come in.

543
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,664
Lieutenant Torres and l
will be ready to initiate

544
00:27:50,735 --> 00:27:53,795
the magneton scan
in approximately two hours.

545
00:27:53,872 --> 00:27:55,271
You should be aware
that it will be

546
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:56,568
a high-intensity burst.

547
00:27:56,641 --> 00:27:58,666
lt will cause dizziness
and disorientation

548
00:27:58,743 --> 00:28:00,574
in all crew members,
including myself,

549
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:02,010
for several seconds.

550
00:28:02,047 --> 00:28:04,982
Make a shipwide announcement
before you initiate the scan.

551
00:28:05,050 --> 00:28:06,483
Aye, Captain.

552
00:28:06,551 --> 00:28:09,349
There is another matter
of some concern.

553
00:28:09,421 --> 00:28:11,412
lt appears that Kes's injuries

554
00:28:11,489 --> 00:28:13,650
were not caused
by an energy discharge.

555
00:28:13,725 --> 00:28:15,522
The Doctor has found evidence

556
00:28:15,593 --> 00:28:17,322
that she was
physically assaulted.

557
00:28:20,165 --> 00:28:21,894
Assaulted...

558
00:28:25,170 --> 00:28:27,638
but you weren't
physically assaulted.

559
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:30,334
That is correct.

560
00:28:30,408 --> 00:28:33,775
ls it possible that you
inflicted her wounds?

561
00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:36,339
Me?

562
00:28:36,414 --> 00:28:39,440
Maybe you were inhabited
by the alien at that moment.

563
00:28:40,885 --> 00:28:42,512
lt is possible.

564
00:28:42,587 --> 00:28:43,884
Perhaps we should
have the Doctor

565
00:28:43,955 --> 00:28:47,254
run a neurological scan to see
if l show a memory disruption.

566
00:28:47,325 --> 00:28:48,257
Agreed.

567
00:28:48,326 --> 00:28:49,816
Janeway to Sick Bay.

568
00:28:51,496 --> 00:28:54,397
Computer, activate emergency
medical holographic system.

569
00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:56,764
Unable to comply.

570
00:28:56,835 --> 00:28:59,395
The EMH program
has been disabled.

571
00:28:59,471 --> 00:29:00,961
Disabled? By whom?

572
00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:02,664
Unknown.

573
00:29:06,511 --> 00:29:09,947
The Doctor's initialization
routine has been locked out.

574
00:29:10,014 --> 00:29:11,948
lt's encrypted.

575
00:29:12,016 --> 00:29:14,314
l can't reactivate the program.

576
00:29:14,385 --> 00:29:15,750
lt appears the lockout

577
00:29:15,820 --> 00:29:17,845
originated
somewhere above Deck 4.

578
00:29:17,956 --> 00:29:20,481
Why would someone
deactivate the Doctor?

579
00:29:20,658 --> 00:29:24,253
The Doctor does hold
the command codes to Voyager.

580
00:29:24,329 --> 00:29:26,854
Yes, but once
he was deactivated,

581
00:29:26,931 --> 00:29:29,161
the codes automatically
reverted back to me.

582
00:29:31,436 --> 00:29:32,664
lf we assume the alien

583
00:29:32,737 --> 00:29:35,137
could not take over
the holographic doctor,

584
00:29:35,206 --> 00:29:38,403
then logically, it would try
to force the command codes

585
00:29:38,476 --> 00:29:40,603
back into a humanoid host.

586
00:29:45,016 --> 00:29:46,916
Me.

587
00:29:50,421 --> 00:29:52,514
lt's too dangerous
for one person

588
00:29:52,590 --> 00:29:55,286
to retain the command codes
at this point.

589
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,352
l suggest we divide
my command protocols

590
00:29:58,429 --> 00:30:00,124
into two code groupings.

591
00:30:00,198 --> 00:30:01,859
A sensible precaution.

592
00:30:01,933 --> 00:30:03,560
You would be
the reasonable choice

593
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,398
to hold the second grouping,

594
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:09,065
if there's any such thing as
a reasonable choice right now.

595
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:15,374
The alien could occupy
either one of us at any time.

596
00:30:15,446 --> 00:30:19,246
But, presumably, not both
of us at the same time.

597
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:20,944
l'll tell
the Bridge crew the plan.

598
00:30:21,019 --> 00:30:23,920
We'll all have to act as checks
and balances for each other.

599
00:30:23,988 --> 00:30:26,957
l want you all to be aware
of something that has happened--

600
00:30:27,025 --> 00:30:30,791
something l must assume
was due to the alien.

601
00:30:30,862 --> 00:30:32,329
The Doctor has been deactivated,

602
00:30:32,397 --> 00:30:33,989
and we can't get him
back on line.

603
00:30:34,065 --> 00:30:37,193
l have decided to divide
my command protocols.

604
00:30:40,104 --> 00:30:41,162
Captain...

605
00:30:45,577 --> 00:30:46,737
Stun her.

606
00:30:46,811 --> 00:30:47,800
She's the alien.

607
00:31:18,843 --> 00:31:20,435
That should do it, Captain.

608
00:31:20,511 --> 00:31:21,478
Thank you, Mr. Paris.

609
00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:23,411
l feel better already.

610
00:31:23,481 --> 00:31:26,348
Any luck getting
the Doctor back on line?

611
00:31:26,417 --> 00:31:27,850
Not yet.
Whoever did this

612
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:29,648
put up one hell of a roadblock.

613
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:30,881
l'm going to have
to break through

614
00:31:30,955 --> 00:31:32,388
at least six levels
of encryption

615
00:31:32,457 --> 00:31:33,651
to access the holo-emitters.

616
00:31:33,725 --> 00:31:34,987
How long is it going to take?

617
00:31:35,093 --> 00:31:37,152
Two, maybe three hours.

618
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:38,160
Torres to Janeway.

619
00:31:38,229 --> 00:31:39,161
Go ahead.

620
00:31:39,230 --> 00:31:40,959
Captain, can you come down
to Engineering?

621
00:31:41,032 --> 00:31:42,590
There's something here
l think you should see.

622
00:31:42,667 --> 00:31:43,964
l'm on my way.
Mr. Paris?

623
00:31:44,035 --> 00:31:46,731
You're our temporary medic
until the Doctor returns.

624
00:31:46,804 --> 00:31:47,736
Right.

625
00:31:47,805 --> 00:31:49,136
Ensign, l need you
on the Bridge.

626
00:31:52,210 --> 00:31:53,973
l've been trying
to reconstruct

627
00:31:54,045 --> 00:31:55,012
the damaged sensor logs

628
00:31:55,113 --> 00:31:57,206
from Tuvok and
Chakotay's shuttlecraft.

629
00:31:57,282 --> 00:32:01,184
l didn't have any luck
until l ran a parity trace scan.

630
00:32:01,252 --> 00:32:03,846
Captain, the sensor logs
weren't destroyed

631
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:05,583
by an energy discharge.

632
00:32:05,657 --> 00:32:07,022
Someone erased them,

633
00:32:07,091 --> 00:32:08,820
and then overloaded
the sensor matrix

634
00:32:08,893 --> 00:32:10,884
to make it look
like they'd been damaged.

635
00:32:10,962 --> 00:32:12,930
lt gets worse.

636
00:32:12,997 --> 00:32:14,931
There was
enough information left

637
00:32:14,999 --> 00:32:16,796
in the backup logs
for me to reconstruct

638
00:32:16,868 --> 00:32:18,335
what happened during the attack.

639
00:32:18,403 --> 00:32:19,927
They were near
a dark-matter nebula,

640
00:32:20,038 --> 00:32:22,336
and an energy discharge
did breach the hull,

641
00:32:22,407 --> 00:32:25,001
but there was no other ship.

642
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:27,077
No ship?

643
00:32:27,145 --> 00:32:28,112
l'm certain of it.

644
00:32:28,179 --> 00:32:29,203
From what l can tell,

645
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,578
the energy discharge
came from the nebula itself.

646
00:32:37,522 --> 00:32:39,490
Why would Tuvok lie
about an attack?

647
00:32:39,557 --> 00:32:41,889
He must have been under
the alien's influence.

648
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,484
Bridge to Janeway.

649
00:32:43,561 --> 00:32:45,552
We're approaching
the dark-matter nebula.

650
00:32:45,630 --> 00:32:46,722
Acknowledged.

651
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:48,789
How long until the magneton
flash-scan is ready to go?

652
00:32:48,866 --> 00:32:51,266
The sensor arrays
are charging now.

653
00:32:51,336 --> 00:32:53,270
15, maybe 20 minutes.

654
00:32:53,338 --> 00:32:55,169
When it's ready,
transfer control of the scan

655
00:32:55,239 --> 00:32:56,263
to the Bridge.

656
00:32:56,341 --> 00:32:58,172
ln the meantime,
l think we should

657
00:32:58,242 --> 00:32:59,971
take a look
at exactly what it is

658
00:33:00,078 --> 00:33:01,773
we're not supposed to see.

659
00:33:09,721 --> 00:33:12,019
Mr. Tuvok, can you locate
the ion trail

660
00:33:12,090 --> 00:33:14,820
of the alien ship
that attacked you?

661
00:33:14,892 --> 00:33:16,223
l believe so.

662
00:33:18,963 --> 00:33:22,660
Mr. Kim, lay in that course.

663
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:25,761
Shields are at maximum, Captain.

664
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:27,464
All preparations
for entering the nebula

665
00:33:27,538 --> 00:33:28,470
are complete.

666
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:31,975
Captain, l finished
the bio-analysis

667
00:33:32,043 --> 00:33:34,136
the Doctor was running on Kes
before he was deactivated.

668
00:33:34,212 --> 00:33:36,180
l think he was onto something.

669
00:33:36,247 --> 00:33:38,738
lf l'm interpreting
his data correctly,

670
00:33:38,816 --> 00:33:40,613
the bruises on Kes's
neck and shoulders

671
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:42,619
were the result
of a Vulcan neck pinch.

672
00:33:48,793 --> 00:33:49,851
Lieutenant?

673
00:33:49,927 --> 00:33:52,623
l have no memory
of injuring Kes.

674
00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:55,666
Perhaps l was occupied
by the alien at that time.

675
00:33:55,733 --> 00:33:57,200
Perhaps so.

676
00:33:57,268 --> 00:34:02,865
But then... why does it
keep attacking you?

677
00:34:03,007 --> 00:34:08,309
ln three separate instances now,
it's assaulted you.

678
00:34:08,379 --> 00:34:10,870
l am the Chief of Security.

679
00:34:10,982 --> 00:34:13,007
lt may see me
as a particular threat.

680
00:34:13,084 --> 00:34:16,815
So far, you've posed no greater
threat than anyone else.

681
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:20,915
And yet, it keeps
going after you.

682
00:34:21,025 --> 00:34:23,755
Captain, l believe
you are having

683
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:25,921
a typically human response
to circumstances

684
00:34:26,030 --> 00:34:28,225
which are frightening
and inexplicable

685
00:34:28,299 --> 00:34:30,597
commonly known as paranoia.

686
00:34:30,668 --> 00:34:32,568
Maybe...

687
00:34:32,637 --> 00:34:35,128
but l don't think it's paranoia
that's keeping me

688
00:34:35,206 --> 00:34:37,037
from picking up
this ion trail of yours.

689
00:34:37,108 --> 00:34:38,735
What bandwidth are you on?

690
00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:41,108
l am using a multiphasic scan.

691
00:34:41,179 --> 00:34:43,704
lf you examine the Alpha-K band,
you will see it.

692
00:34:45,450 --> 00:34:47,680
Yes, here it is.

693
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:50,414
A very interesting ion trail.

694
00:34:50,488 --> 00:34:54,788
There's no sign of any subspace
distortions in its wake.

695
00:34:54,859 --> 00:34:58,556
According to these readings...

696
00:34:58,629 --> 00:35:00,620
it's a ship without engines.

697
00:35:02,567 --> 00:35:04,091
You're lying, Tuvok.

698
00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:06,796
There is no alien ship

699
00:35:06,871 --> 00:35:08,463
and there never was.

700
00:35:08,539 --> 00:35:10,598
We're not going
inside that nebula

701
00:35:10,675 --> 00:35:12,666
until we get some answers.

702
00:35:12,743 --> 00:35:14,074
Mr. Kim, reverse course.

703
00:35:14,145 --> 00:35:15,237
Belay that order.

704
00:35:15,313 --> 00:35:17,713
That is exactly what the alien
has been trying to do--

705
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:19,682
keep us from entering
the nebula.

706
00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:22,514
l suspect the Captain
has been occupied.

707
00:35:22,587 --> 00:35:24,452
l am relieving her
of command.

708
00:35:24,522 --> 00:35:27,389
Ensign, proceed into the nebula,
one-half impulse.

709
00:35:27,458 --> 00:35:28,652
Don't do it, Harry.

710
00:35:30,728 --> 00:35:32,127
Now, Ensign.

711
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,924
No, sir.

712
00:35:38,002 --> 00:35:39,401
l won't do it.

713
00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:40,698
l must inform you.

714
00:35:40,771 --> 00:35:42,500
This phaser is
on wide-beam dispersal

715
00:35:42,573 --> 00:35:43,540
and set to kill.

716
00:35:43,608 --> 00:35:45,906
l am taking command
of this Bridge.

717
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:47,467
l must ask you all
to stand together

718
00:35:47,545 --> 00:35:48,978
where l can see you.

719
00:35:49,046 --> 00:35:50,946
Step away
from the console, Ensign.

720
00:35:57,355 --> 00:36:00,984
Captain, we're entering
the nebula.

721
00:36:12,303 --> 00:36:15,067
Captain, l'm picking up
some kind of energy pulses

722
00:36:15,139 --> 00:36:19,075
in the nebula-- highly coherent
with a bio-matrix.

723
00:36:19,143 --> 00:36:20,440
Life-forms...

724
00:36:20,511 --> 00:36:22,445
And they're heading this way.

725
00:36:24,482 --> 00:36:28,441
Those beings out there--
are they your people?

726
00:36:28,619 --> 00:36:30,314
We are the Komar.

727
00:36:30,388 --> 00:36:32,288
This is our domain.

728
00:36:56,614 --> 00:36:58,605
What's happening?

729
00:36:58,683 --> 00:37:00,378
The warp core has been ejected.

730
00:37:00,484 --> 00:37:01,883
No.

731
00:37:01,919 --> 00:37:04,217
No. We must continue.

732
00:37:04,288 --> 00:37:05,346
Torres to Bridge.

733
00:37:05,423 --> 00:37:06,947
Captain,

734
00:37:07,024 --> 00:37:09,857
l think l was just
taken over by the alien.

735
00:37:09,927 --> 00:37:11,827
One second, l was working
the plasma relays,

736
00:37:11,896 --> 00:37:13,386
and the next thing l knew,
l was ejecting

737
00:37:13,464 --> 00:37:14,396
the warp core.

738
00:37:14,465 --> 00:37:16,365
Acknowledged, Lieutenant.
Stand by.

739
00:37:16,434 --> 00:37:17,867
l don't get it.

740
00:37:17,935 --> 00:37:20,403
lf the alien's in Tuvok,
how could it be

741
00:37:20,471 --> 00:37:22,462
down in Engineering
at the same time?

742
00:37:22,540 --> 00:37:23,871
l don't know.

743
00:37:23,975 --> 00:37:27,206
Unless there are two aliens.

744
00:37:27,278 --> 00:37:29,405
Two?

745
00:37:32,516 --> 00:37:33,676
Wait a minute.

746
00:37:33,751 --> 00:37:35,878
Lieutenant Torres
isn't authorized

747
00:37:35,953 --> 00:37:38,285
to eject the warp core
on her own.

748
00:37:38,356 --> 00:37:41,553
That requires a command
code authorization.

749
00:37:41,626 --> 00:37:45,084
Computer, who authorized the
ejection of the warp core?

750
00:37:45,162 --> 00:37:48,563
The authorization was entered
by Commander Chakotay.

751
00:37:53,537 --> 00:37:54,765
Chakotay...

752
00:37:54,839 --> 00:37:56,431
How is that possible?

753
00:37:56,507 --> 00:38:00,466
The alien in Tuvok
wants us in that nebula,

754
00:38:00,544 --> 00:38:01,977
but there's another presence

755
00:38:02,046 --> 00:38:03,513
that's been trying
to keep us out.

756
00:38:03,581 --> 00:38:06,846
lt doesn't make sense
unless it's Chakotay.

757
00:38:06,917 --> 00:38:09,943
And he knows we'll be in danger
if we go in there.

758
00:38:10,021 --> 00:38:11,045
But he's in Sick Bay.

759
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:12,487
He's brain dead.

760
00:38:12,556 --> 00:38:13,750
Maybe not.

761
00:38:13,824 --> 00:38:16,850
Maybe his neural energy
was displaced somehow,

762
00:38:16,961 --> 00:38:19,555
and he's able to move
from person to person.

763
00:38:22,099 --> 00:38:24,795
Tuvok's engaged
emergency thrusters.

764
00:38:24,869 --> 00:38:26,962
We're moving again, Captain.

765
00:38:36,514 --> 00:38:39,244
You brought us here-- for what?

766
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:41,478
To extract our neural energy?

767
00:38:41,552 --> 00:38:43,315
Very perceptive, Captain.

768
00:38:43,387 --> 00:38:45,912
The collective neural energy
of your crew

769
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:48,584
will sustain my people
for years to come.

770
00:38:48,659 --> 00:38:51,059
You don't have to do this.

771
00:38:51,128 --> 00:38:54,029
Maybe we can help you
find another source of energy.

772
00:38:54,098 --> 00:38:55,258
Captain, we're under attack.

773
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:57,358
We're being bombarded
by the energy beings.

774
00:39:26,397 --> 00:39:28,194
The magneton scan identified

775
00:39:28,265 --> 00:39:29,698
the entity
before it left the ship.

776
00:39:29,767 --> 00:39:32,099
lt was a trianic-based
energy being.

777
00:39:32,169 --> 00:39:35,332
Looks like he's joined
his friends outside.

778
00:39:35,406 --> 00:39:36,498
Shields are holding,

779
00:39:36,574 --> 00:39:38,701
but they won't last long
at this rate,

780
00:39:38,776 --> 00:39:40,243
and the electromagnetic
radiation

781
00:39:40,311 --> 00:39:41,676
is blinding our sensors.

782
00:39:41,746 --> 00:39:43,043
l can't find a way out.

783
00:39:43,114 --> 00:39:44,138
Come about.

784
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:45,910
Maybe if we reverse course,
we can just backtrack.

785
00:39:46,016 --> 00:39:47,210
Yes, ma'am.

786
00:39:47,284 --> 00:39:49,275
l don't know if that'll work,
Captain.

787
00:39:49,353 --> 00:39:51,480
Tuvok was navigating
a complicated course.

788
00:39:51,555 --> 00:39:53,614
We could be going deeper
into the nebula.

789
00:39:53,691 --> 00:39:55,659
Mr. Kim, maybe you can
reconstruct Tuvok's

790
00:39:55,726 --> 00:39:56,658
navigational logs.

791
00:39:56,727 --> 00:39:57,751
l'm on it, Captain.

792
00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:02,123
Shields down to 65 percent,
Captain.

793
00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:04,827
The energy beings are starting
to penetrate our defenses.

794
00:40:26,090 --> 00:40:27,751
l'm not having any luck.

795
00:40:27,825 --> 00:40:30,157
Tuvok deleted the navigational
logs as he went along.

796
00:40:30,227 --> 00:40:32,388
He wanted to make sure
we didn't get out of here.

797
00:40:32,463 --> 00:40:33,555
Neelix to Bridge.

798
00:40:33,631 --> 00:40:34,563
Go ahead.

799
00:40:34,632 --> 00:40:37,430
Captain, l can't be sure,

800
00:40:37,501 --> 00:40:39,492
but l think l was just
taken over by the alien.

801
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:41,470
And l've done something
very strange.

802
00:40:41,539 --> 00:40:44,770
l've rearranged the stones
on the medicine wheel.

803
00:40:46,744 --> 00:40:47,836
lf it's Chakotay,

804
00:40:47,912 --> 00:40:49,709
maybe he's trying
to tell us something.

805
00:40:49,780 --> 00:40:53,876
Mr. Kim, activate
Sick Bay Visual Relay 16

806
00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:55,316
and put it on the viewscreen.

807
00:40:55,386 --> 00:40:57,013
Aye, Captain.

808
00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:02,923
What is it?

809
00:41:02,993 --> 00:41:04,620
What does it mean?

810
00:41:04,695 --> 00:41:07,459
ls it a code?
A message?

811
00:41:07,531 --> 00:41:08,896
Or a map...

812
00:41:08,966 --> 00:41:11,594
Computer, overlay a star map
of the nebula

813
00:41:11,669 --> 00:41:13,398
on the current viewscreen image.

814
00:41:15,673 --> 00:41:17,197
The stones are

815
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:19,742
in the same position
as those three planetoids.

816
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:23,371
Chakotay must be using them
to point a way out.

817
00:41:23,447 --> 00:41:28,544
Mr. Kim, lay in a course
that takes us along a line

818
00:41:28,619 --> 00:41:31,486
connecting
those three planetoids.

819
00:41:31,555 --> 00:41:33,489
Engage.

820
00:41:38,762 --> 00:41:40,286
Shields failing!

821
00:41:40,364 --> 00:41:42,332
The aliens
are penetrating the hull.

822
00:41:42,399 --> 00:41:44,492
Mr. Kim, report.

823
00:41:44,568 --> 00:41:46,695
We're passing the third
planetoid now, Captain.

824
00:41:46,770 --> 00:41:48,362
The dark matter density
is thinning.

825
00:41:48,439 --> 00:41:49,599
Reading normal space ahead.

826
00:41:49,673 --> 00:41:50,697
Bridge to Torres.

827
00:41:50,774 --> 00:41:52,742
Transfer all remaining power
to the thrusters--

828
00:41:52,810 --> 00:41:53,834
including life support.

829
00:42:00,351 --> 00:42:01,875
We've cleared the nebula,
Captain.

830
00:42:01,952 --> 00:42:03,920
Main power coming back on line.

831
00:42:04,021 --> 00:42:05,545
Shields at full strength.

832
00:42:05,623 --> 00:42:06,920
Hull integrity normal.

833
00:42:06,991 --> 00:42:10,085
The alien beings
are not pursuing.

834
00:42:16,233 --> 00:42:20,329
Captain's Log, Stardate 48735.9.

835
00:42:20,404 --> 00:42:21,928
We have returned
to the coordinates

836
00:42:22,006 --> 00:42:23,371
where we ejected the warp core

837
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,067
and have successfully
retrieved it.

838
00:42:25,142 --> 00:42:27,667
Now we're hoping the Doctor
will be able to successfully

839
00:42:27,745 --> 00:42:30,714
reintegrate Commander
Chakotay's consciousness.

840
00:42:36,220 --> 00:42:37,551
Did it work?

841
00:42:37,621 --> 00:42:39,418
lt appears so.

842
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:42,586
Commander...

843
00:42:44,595 --> 00:42:46,256
can you hear me?

844
00:42:50,634 --> 00:42:51,896
Yes.

845
00:42:53,637 --> 00:42:56,197
l'm a little dizzy, but l think
l'm all here...

846
00:43:00,344 --> 00:43:01,368
How did you manage

847
00:43:01,445 --> 00:43:03,379
to reintegrate
his consciousness?

848
00:43:03,447 --> 00:43:06,041
lt involved
three neural transceivers,

849
00:43:06,116 --> 00:43:08,482
two cortical stimulators,

850
00:43:08,552 --> 00:43:10,144
and 50 gigaquads
of computer memory.

851
00:43:10,220 --> 00:43:12,211
l would be happy
to take you through the process,

852
00:43:12,289 --> 00:43:13,620
but it would take
at least ten hours

853
00:43:13,691 --> 00:43:15,488
to explain it all to you.

854
00:43:17,127 --> 00:43:19,459
Needless to say, it was
a remarkable procedure.

855
00:43:19,530 --> 00:43:21,225
l would consider
writing a paper about it,

856
00:43:21,298 --> 00:43:23,698
if there were a convenient forum
in which to publish it.

857
00:43:29,873 --> 00:43:31,704
What happened, Commander?

858
00:43:34,111 --> 00:43:37,205
After the attack on the shuttle,

859
00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:42,583
l had the sensation of...
floating above my own body.

860
00:43:42,653 --> 00:43:45,679
l thought l was dead.

861
00:43:45,756 --> 00:43:47,621
And when the shuttle
returned to Voyager,

862
00:43:47,691 --> 00:43:50,057
you were still disembodied?

863
00:43:50,227 --> 00:43:51,888
Yes.

864
00:43:51,962 --> 00:43:54,192
l couldn't speak.

865
00:43:54,264 --> 00:43:56,698
l couldn't touch anything.

866
00:43:56,767 --> 00:44:00,100
But then l found that if l
concentrated on someone

867
00:44:00,170 --> 00:44:01,831
who was in the room with me...

868
00:44:03,941 --> 00:44:06,705
l could share
their consciousness.

869
00:44:06,777 --> 00:44:08,836
At first, l could only
do little things

870
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:10,106
with the host's body--

871
00:44:10,180 --> 00:44:13,616
push buttons, work a console.

872
00:44:13,684 --> 00:44:16,346
As time went on...

873
00:44:16,420 --> 00:44:19,014
it became easier to do more.

874
00:44:19,089 --> 00:44:21,614
Sorry l had
to knock you around, Tuvok.

875
00:44:21,692 --> 00:44:24,388
No apologies necessary.

876
00:44:30,134 --> 00:44:31,931
Good job, Commander,

877
00:44:32,002 --> 00:44:34,232
and welcome back.

878
00:44:34,304 --> 00:44:38,934
To be honest,
l feel like l never left.
