Captain's Log,
Stardate 54274.7.

Lieutenant Torres has
finally convinced me

that I can't put off

a major maintenance overhaul
any longer.

We've set down on
an uninhabited planet,

and I've sent shuttles
to search for supplies.

What about the
impulse upgrades?

Day after tomorrow.

Put a new phase compensator
on that relay.

Environmental control?

The thermal regulators are
still running a little hot.

Too bad we can't just
keep the windows open.

How long until the warp drive
is back on line?

Six days.

You sure you can't get
it done any faster?

Captain, I don't like sitting
still any more than you do,

but repairs
this extensive take time.

Mendez, track down
that power drain.

Right away.

I know this ship
has been through

a lot, but you told me
this would only take a few days.

That was before I discovered
the microfractures

in the starboard nacelle

and the fused relays
in the main computer.

Who did that?

I noticed a charge imbalance
in the EPS feed.

I'm sorry if I...

It could have taken us hours
to find that.

I have a tactical
systems report for you.

It's from
Commander Tuvok.

I'd say you're capable
of a lot more

than delivering padds, Icheb.

I agree.

Until we get underway again,
he's assigned to you.

With him on your team,

maybe you'll get this job done
a little faster.

Neelix?

Rise and shine. It's 0500.

Already?

Oh!

Oh, I was dreaming
we found the dilithium

and were back aboard Voyager.

Dreaming is
an accurate description.

Didn't we already
scan this nebula?

Four times.

I thought the Borg
were known for being thorough.

The Borg value efficiency,
not redundancy.

I've got a hunch
about this nebula.

There's dilithium
in there somewhere.

I'm getting some fluctuating

energy readings.

From the nebula?

No, it's weapons fire.

Let's get out of here.

We're receiving a distress call.

...have casualties.

Please help us.

We're on a humanitarian mission

delivering medical supplies.

Reverse course.

We can't just leave them.

Starfleet policy.

Interference in alien conflicts
is strictly prohibited.

You heard their Captain.
It's a medical ship.

Their shields are down.

Life support is failing
on at least three decks.

Open a channel
to the other ship.

This is Ensign Kim
of the Delta Flyer.

I don't know what
you're fighting about,

but it looks like you've won.

The people on the other ship
have casualties. We'd like to...

This isn't your concern.

I'm not taking sides.

I only want to
help the wounded.

Withdraw immediately.

They're charging weapons.

Neelix, set our deflector beam

for a narrow pulse.

Seven, let me know

the second their weapons array
is fully charged.

I might be able
to trigger an overload.

The deflector bandwidth
is at .4 microns.

Now.

Their weapons are off-line.

Shields are down.

They're retreating.

Take the helm.

Neelix, you're with me.

Who's in charge here?

He is.

What are we going to do?

It's okay.
We're here to help.

The ship that attacked
you is gone.

Who are you?

Harry Kim from
the Starship Voyager.

We're responding
to your distress call.

We can treat

your wounded.

The Captain?

Dead, sir.

So are the rest
of the officers.

I'm reading a total of 27
life-forms aboard the ship.

There were 56 of us.

How are we going to get home

without the officers?

We need to restore main power.

Where's the warp interface?

We're passengers, not crewmen.

You can access
engineering systems from here.

Your warp core's intact.

I think I can bring it
back on line.

Can you monitor
antimatter flow?

I'm not sure. I...

Just watch this readout,

and tell me

if it starts to fluctuate.

I'm routing emergency power
to structural

integrity.

Atmospheric pressure
is returning to normal.

Neelix, we'll go through
the ship deck by deck--

find the survivors.

We need to get our cloak
back on line.

I'll take a look at it as soon
as I've repaired the engines.

No. The cloak is more important.

The Annari have far more
powerful weapons than we do.

If they come back,

the cloak is our best defense.

We'll try to get it
back on line.

Kim to Delta Flyer.

Go ahead.

I need your help, Seven.

It looks like we're going
to be here for awhile.

How did you do it?

Do what?

Disable the Annari warship
so quickly?

Uh, basically, we used

their own weapons against them.

How?

We used a deflector pulse

to overload their phaser banks.

You know a lot
about engineering.

It's all part
of my Starfleet training.

Starfleet?

Yeah. The organization
I work for.

And they teach you
all these things?

We train at an academy,

and I guess I've picked up
a few new tricks

during my time on Voyager.

How long have you been Captain?

I'm just an Ensign.

Ensign? E... What's that?

A junior officer.

The lowest ranked officer,
actually.

This is my first
deep space assignment.

It hasn't gone very well.

Could you hand me that?

My first week on the job
didn't go very well, either.

We ended up 70,000

light-years from home,

lost over a dozen crew members,

but I got through it,
and so will you.

I hope so.

If you're going to be
a starship officer,

you've got to accept that
adversity comes with the job.

What's that?

It's a diagnostic

of the antimatter injectors.

No, I meant that
stuff you're eating.

Nutritional supplements,

replicated to meet
my metabolic requirements.

Sounds delicious.

You know, in the Mess Hall,

they actually have
tables and chairs for that.

I prefer to work while I eat.

It's a more efficient
use of my time.

You did a great job today.

We're ahead of schedule
thanks to you.

Here's what we're going
to work on tomorrow.

I'll see you at 0600.

Icheb.

Yes?

What do you do for fun?

Fun?

Recreation.

How do you spend your time
when you're off duty?

Between my work and my studies,

I don't have much time
for recreation.

I've learned that you've got
to take a break once in awhile.

I've been doing a lot
of rock climbing

on the holodeck.

Maybe when we're finished

tightening all
the nuts and bolts,

you'd like to join me.

I do have an interest
in geology.

It's not about the rocks, Icheb.

It's about the climbing.

Main power has been restored.

All stations responding.

The cloak's back on line.

Impulse and warp drives
are standing by.

Shields are at 96 percent.

I'd say you're ready
to get back on course.

We appreciate your help.

I hope you have
a safe journey.

Mr. Kim...

I feel guilty
asking even more of you,

but no one on this ship
knows how to fly it.

None of you has ever piloted
a starship?

I've trained in shuttles,

but nothing like this.

I'll enter a flight plan
in the auto-navigation system

and give you a quick course
in helm operations.

You shouldn't have any trouble.

Couldn't you take us?

This ship needs

an experienced
commanding officer.

I'm sorry, but we've already
gotten more involved

than we should have,

and they need us
back on Voyager.

It's not just my ship
that concerns me.

You've made an enemy
of the Annari now,

but if you dock your ship
in our Shuttle Bay,

our cloak will protect you.

That's a generous offer,
but we'll be fine.

Please, Mr. Kim,
we can't afford to fail.

This ship is...

Loken, don't.

We can trust these people.

I'm a doctor.

These people are
my research team.

We're carrying new vaccines
to our homeland.

They'll save thousands
of lives.

Sir, I looked at
their flight plan.

It takes them pretty
close to Voyager.

I'll bring you
as far as our ship.

When we get there,

you can discuss your situation
with my Captain.

Thank you.

What about Starfleet policy?

This is a
humanitarian mission.

Dock the Flyer
in their Shuttle Bay.

We're approaching the planet.

Take us out of warp.

Disengage the cloak.

Wait.

I'm detecting three
alien vessels in orbit.

On screen.

Those are Annari warships.

Your people are in danger.

I apologize
for the state of my ship.

We weren't
expecting company.

I hope we're not imposing.

Not at all.

Making contact
with new cultures

is a priority for us.

For us, too.

This is a fine ship, Captain.

One of the best in the fleet,

but it could use a new set

of deuterium injectors.

Any chance you
could provide them?

I think
we can arrange something.

What are you offering
in exchange?

Zeolitic ore.

We mined several tons of it
from an asteroid field.

It's high-grade,
easy to refine.

I'll speak
to my supply officer.

We're being hailed

by Ensign Kim, audio only.

Hello, Harry.

Is everything all right?

Of course.
Why wouldn't it be?

Our long-range scans
detected several alien ships

orbiting the planet.

I appreciate your concern,

but there's nothing
to worry about.

We've made some new friends,
that's all.

When can we expect you back?

We've run into a slight delay.

Nothing serious, I hope.

No. Everything's under control.

Good.

Any luck finding dilithium?

Uh, I'm afraid not.

I'll tell the other teams
to keep looking.

See you soon, Ensign.

Yes, ma'am. Kim out.

Dilithium...

We can get that for you, too.

Really?

She's formed an alliance
with our enemy.

Just because they're talking

doesn't mean
they formed an alliance.

It's probably just
a friendly meeting.

That's how the Annari operate.

They come to you as friends,

and when they've won your trust,

they declare you subjects
of the Annari Empire.

Kim to Voyager.

We didn't expect you so soon.

Actually, Captain,
I'm closer than I let on.

and I've brought
some new friends of my own.

Our chances of getting home
without your help

aren't very good.

We'd appreciate any assistance
you could offer.

I hope you understand.

I need to give this
some thought.

You've put me in
a difficult position, Ensign.

We could use the help
the Annari are offering,

but if they find out
we're aiding their enemy...

I couldn't just stand
by and do nothing.

That doesn't justify

getting involved
in somebody else's fight.

What would you have done?

Probably exactly what you did.

I guess I learned from the best.

If this were simply an errand
of mercy, I wouldn't hesitate.

But the fact is,
these people are involved

in an interplanetary war.

Captain,
I've gotten to know them

over the last couple of days.

You met Loken.

They're scientists,
not soldiers.

You've only heard
one side of the story.

You've taken sides before.

The Borg resistance,

the Vaadwaur...

Those were
different circumstances.

You were trying
to help people in need.

How is this any different?

Have you thought about applying

to the Advocate General's
office?

You'd make a good lawyer.

I suppose I could spare

Chakotay or Tuvok
for a few days.

That won't be necessary.

The Kraylor know me.

They trust me.

I'm sure they'd find Tuvok
or Chakotay

just as trustworthy.

But they outrank me.

If you send one of them,
it won't be my mission anymore.

Your mission.

My first real command.

You've been in command
on Voyager before.

On the night shift,
for a few hours...

It's not the same thing.

You and Chakotay are
always a couple of decks away,

ready to take over if
anything goes wrong.

I've been on Voyager
for almost seven years,

and I'm still an Ensign.

If this is your way
of bucking for a promotion...

No, no, I understand
there's a command structure

and that our circumstances
are unique.

But the fact is,
if we were back home,

I'd be a Lieutenant by now,

maybe even
a Lieutenant Commander.

You're pretty sure
of yourself, aren't you?

I know I can do this,

and the Kraylor are giving me
a chance to prove it.

I expect you back before
we complete our repairs.

Yes, ma'am.

And I'm not

sending you alone.

Captain.

I want you
to take Seven.

Since she has no rank,
you clearly outrank her.

Lieutenant Torres asked me

to repair a malfunctioning
holo-emitter.

It's about time.

Whenever I move
to the far corner

of the Surgical Bay,
my legs disappear.

Seven of Nine told me
you gave her social lessons.

Hm. She wanted to get along
better with the crew.

Social skills are one thing
the Borg never assimilated.

I was hoping
you could instruct me, as well.

I'd be delighted.

Lesson One: "Making
a First Impression."

Actually...

I wanted to ask you
about something specific.

Fire away.

How can you tell
when someone has...

romantic feelings for you?

Icheb, this is a surprise.

Have you caught someone's eye?

I'm speaking hypothetically.

Ah.

Hypothetically,

there are various indications

of romantic attraction.

Compliments, for example,

invitations to
social activities,

finding excuses to be in close
proximity with someone.

Yes, but couldn't
those things happen

in a relationship
that wasn't romantic?

I suppose.

Is there a way
to be absolutely certain?

Well, short of an open
declaration of affection,

there are some
fairly reliable

physiological responses:

elevated blood pressure,
increased

beta-endorphin production...

Thank you, Doctor.
You've been very helpful.

With my guidance, you
will master the nuances

of social interaction
in no time!

Harry!

Take me with you, buddy.

Sorry, Tom. This is my mission.

Oh, come on, I've been itching
to get back into space

ever since we set down
on this dust bowl.

I'm tired of cleaning conduits

and replacing relays.

You're a married man now.

You've got family
responsibilities.

Just leave the away missions

to the young,
unattached guys.

That ship is in
pretty bad shape.

You're going to
need a good pilot.

No, thanks.

Wait a minute...

I know what
this is about.

You do?

Sure. You've got a girl
on that ship

you don't want me
to know about.

There's no girl. Not this time.

Then what is it?

I don't know how else
to this say this,

so I'll just say it.

You've always been
Captain Proton.

I have always
been Buster Kincaid.

It's my turn this time.

I'm glad you're not
planning to leave

on an empty
stomach, "Captain."

I have...

plomeek soup
and eggplant parmesan.

Either's fine.

Wrong answer.

Excuse me?

If you're going
to be a Captain,

you have to act like a Captain.

Never admit you're
uncertain about anything.

You can't be indecisive
in front of your crew.

It's just a snack, Neelix.

When Captain Janeway
comes in here,

she knows exactly
what she wants.

Maybe I'm just not as picky
about my food.

Whatever you say... Ensign.

Neelix.

Plomeek soup,
and make sure it's hot.

Captain on the Bridge.

Where did you learn that?

I've been studying

that Starfleet manual
you loaned me.

Take your station, Mr. Terek.

Aye, sir.

Course?

I'll do it.

Laying in a course,
heading 115 mark 37.

Does this ship
have a name?

Medical Transport 136.

I think we can do
better than that.

Nightingale.

The name of someone
from my homeworld.

She was famous for treating

wounded soldiers
on the battlefield.

It's perfect.

Hail Voyager.

Kim to Voyager.

We're ready to get underway.

Acknowledged. Good luck.

See you in a few days.

Kim out.

Main power.

- On line.
- Tactical.

Shields and weapons standing by.

Bring the cloak on line.

Warp 6.

Engage.

Acting Captain's Personal Log,
Stardate 54277.3.

My first day in command
has been challenging,

but I've loved
every minute of it.

I can't help feeling that this
was something I was born to do.

The hourly status report
you requested.

Thanks.

Why have you brought
these items aboard?

They make me
feel more at home.

We'll only be on this
vessel for a few days.

Decorating is an inefficient
use of your time.

It's important to forge
a personal connection

with your vessel;
make the ship your own.

Ask Captain Janeway.

I'll discuss it with her
the moment we return.

Is there anything else?

I asked Terek
to make a course correction.

He's never done that before.

I'd better check on him.

I believe he's capable
of doing it himself.

Status?

I've entered the new heading.

Looks like the guidance vector

is off by a couple of microns.

I was about to correct that.

You need to realign

the primary
navigational sensor first.

Yes, sir.

And make sure
it stays locked

on your guide star.

Here, let me show you.

I'm-I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

Don't worry about it.

Bumping elbows
comes with the job,

and you can
call me B'Elanna.

Put this with the others.

These relays should have been
replaced a while ago.

It's amazing
they've held up this long.

I am really
looking forward

to our climb.

Wouldn't you prefer

to spend your free time
with your husband?

If it doesn't involve
a race car, a shuttle,

or something else he can drive,
Tom's not interested.

Besides, since we got married,

I see more
than enough of him.

Hold still.

What's that?

I'm reading a power fluctuation

somewhere
in the propulsion system.

It's destabilizing the cloak.

All stop.

Core is stable.

That should take
care of it.

Are you absolutely certain?

As a scientist,
you should know

there's no such thing
as absolute certainty.

Perhaps we could run
a diagnostic before we...

That would take hours.

Captain Janeway
wants us back

before Voyager
finishes its overhaul.

The cloaking system
is delicate.

It requires
constant attention.

Correct me if I'm wrong,

you're a physician.

You have to trust me on this.

We'll monitor it closely.
Don't worry.

I simply want to ensure

that our mission is a success.

You asked me
to take command of this ship,

and that's what I'm doing.

Tell Terek to resume course.

I've discovered a serious flaw

in one of the ship's systems.

Which one?

The Captain.

The Captain's main function

is to issue orders, correct?

- Right.
- And the crew's function

is to support the Captain
and carry out those orders.

What's your point?

Every time you give an order,
you carry it out yourself.

And when someone else
makes a suggestion,

you dismiss it.

These people are inexperienced.

They need my help.

When you first came
aboard Voyager,

did Captain Janeway help you?

Sure. She looked after
all the junior officers.

By doing your work for you?

No. She gave me a lot to do,
actually.

Because she felt

you were more capable
than she was?

Of course not.

She wanted me to learn,
to gain confidence.

Interesting.

Emergency power.

Repolarize
the containment field.

I can't.

The cloak is going
to fail again.

Don't panic.
This is a minor malfunction.

Minor? We're losing
our main defense system.

We've been detected.

Two Annari vessels are
closing on our position.

Correction--
six Annari vessels.

Evasive maneuvers!

Kim to Engineering.

Go ahead.

We need that cloak
back on line.

The primary generator
has failed.

I'm trying to...

Seven?

Seven, come in.

You have the Bridge.

We need you here.

I'll go, sir.

All right. I'll give you
instructions over the com.

Charge phaser banks.

Target their weapons array.

Which ship?

The closest one,
off our port bow.

Dayla to the Bridge.

Life support's failing
down here.

I've gotten everyone out.

Good work.

Now go
to the cloaking generator.

What's the field polarity?

206.4.

That's too low.

We're going to have to raise it.

I'm bypassing
the phase converter.

Wait. I didn't tell you
to do that.

Won't that increase
the field polarity?

Yes, but...

Listen to me carefully.

I want you to try...

Dayla, it's Loken.

Take the warp core off-line.

What are you talking about?

Bypass the driver coil
and shunt power directly

to the polaron matrix.

The cloak is back on line.

Get us out of here,
full impulse.

Dayla, secure

the Engineering section

and get back to the Bridge.

Dayla!

I'm not reading
any life signs in Engineering.

Dayla?

She's dead.

How's Seven?

She may be in shock.

I'm not sure.

Have a look.

Your opinion, Doctor?

I believe
she may be in shock.

Do you think
we should give her

a cortical stimulant?

That might be indicated.

You are no doctor, are you?

You and I need to talk...

alone.

What the hell is going on?

I don't know what you mean.

Nothing about this
mission is adding up.

It's obvious you
know a lot more

about cloaking systems
than biology.

So did Dayla.

And the second

our cloak failed,

half a dozen Annari warships
came after us--

one little medical transport.

The truth!

My colleagues and I have
been working at a secret base

but not to create vaccines.

We've been developing
cloaking devices for our fleet.

This ship is a prototype.

The Annari know we have it,

and they don't want
us to get it home.

I never would
have agreed to this

if I had known you had
a military objective.

Our world has been under an
Annari blockade for three years.

The planet is protected
by a shield grid,

but it's almost impossible
to get our ships in or out.

I convinced Captain Janeway
this was a humanitarian mission.

It is.

The Annari are choking us
to death slowly.

If we can't get supply ships
through the blockade,

we can't get food
to our people...

or medicine.

For all I know,
that's another lie.

Reverse course.

Sir?

We're heading back to Voyager.

I don't understand.

He knows about the cloak.

I would've told you...

I gave you an order.

What about the mission?

That's not your concern.

You want to be
a starship officer?

Your job

- is to follow orders.
- Sir, 1 don't think you...

This is not a debate.

You're under my command.

No, sir.

Not anymore.

You're relieved.

You, take the helm.

I believe you're the one
who's been relieved.

Where are you going
in such a hurry?

Engineering,
to assist B'Elanna...

Lieutenant Torres.

Well, you've been seeing
a lot of my wife lately.

Should I be worried?

Mm, the repairs
are extensive.

It's a lot of work.

You can't fool me.

I heard you two were planning
on scaling some cliffs together.

It was her idea.

Hey, relax.

Spending time on the holodeck
is good for you,

but if you really want
to have fun, forget climbing.

Try my race car program.

"Race car"?

You get to chase me
around a track

in an old Earth
ground vehicle.

300 kph.

It'll really get
your blood pumping.

Are you challenging
me to a competition?

Well, you think
you can take me?

Tomorrow, Holodeck 2,
1900 hours.

There is something
we need to discuss.

Sure, as soon as you help me
finish this diagnostic.

I can't do this.

Of course you can.

You've done
dozens of them.

I'm not talking
about the diagnostic.

I'm talking about us.

"Us"?

Your interest in me--
it's inappropriate.

I don't think I understand.

It's obvious you desire
a romantic involvement.

Excuse me?

You've made all the
customary overtures--

finding reasons to
spend time with me,

complimenting me,

inviting me to engage in
recreational activities.

Your husband
even challenged me

to a ritual contest.

What are you talking about?

According to my research,

it's a traditional
Klingon practice.

Look... I'm sorry,
but you've got the wrong idea.

You seemed a little lonely.

I was just trying
to be friendly.

I scanned you.

You scanned me?

In the Jefferies tube.

Your blood pressure
and neurotransmitter readings

indicated a state of arousal.

It was hot, and I've been
under a lot of pressure,

but I certainly wasn't aroused.

Look, Icheb, I like you...

but aside from the fact
that I am a much older woman,

I'm married.

That's why we have to do
the honorable thing.

We should stop seeing
each other.

You're right.

As much as it hurts,

I'll just have
to face the truth.

It's for the best.

Mm.

Seven?

Feeling better?

Well enough to return to duty.

You won't be returning to duty,

not on this ship anyway.

Loken lied to us.

There's no vaccine.

The cloak is the real cargo.

I ordered the crew
to take us back to Voyager,

but they refused.

They mutinied.

I guess that's what
you'd call it.

I've packed some supplies.

We'll take an escape pod.

I'm hoping the Annari
will leave us alone,

treat us as neutral parties.

We're not "neutral parties."

This is a military mission.
We can't get involved.

We've been "involved"

since you first fired
on that Annari ship.

I thought I was helping people
in distress.

Don't they still need your help?

Are you abandoning this ship

because the mission
wasn't what you expected

or because being a Captain
wasn't what you expected?

I am perfectly capable
of commanding a starship.

Are you?

Clearly, you're uncomfortable
with the role--

delegating tasks, giving orders.

Someone died
following my orders!

You can't blame yourself
for that.

A Captain's responsible
for the lives of his crew.

People sometimes die
on missions,

despite the Captain's
best efforts.

I should have stuck to
playing Buster Kincaid.

A holodeck program can be turned
off when it no longer suits you.

Reality can't.

If you really feel responsible
for this crew,

you'll help them get home,

because they won't survive
without you.

Is that some new
kind of weapon?

They're scanning pulses designed
to illuminate cloaked ships.

If we hit one,
we'll be exposed.

How are we going
to get through?

We'll find a way.

I thought you were leaving.

1 get claustrophobic
in escape pods.

Switch to manual helm control.

Full power to shields.

Aye, Captain.

Two Annari ships
have entered orbit.

They are hailing.

On screen.

Captain Geral, we have
12 isotons of ore for you.

I'm under orders to escort you
out of Annari space,

immediately.

You've been supporting
our enemy.

You must be mistaken.

A shuttlecraft

matching your hull composition

fired on one of our ships
several days ago.

And we recently detected
two human bio-signatures

on a Kraylor warship.

I can explain that.

If you don't leave immediately,

we'll be forced to fire on you.

Our warp drive
is still being repaired.

Then we'll escort you
at impulse.

You have five minutes
to lift off.

So much for our new
deuterium injectors.

What about Harry and Seven?

We'll go looking for them,

as soon as we get rid
of our escort.

Evasive maneuvers.

There are too many of them.

You're doing fine.

Just try to stay
at least 100 meters

ahead of the closest pulse.

Yes, sir.

We should return fire.

No, that would only give them

another way to
triangulate our position.

Our shields are failing.

We're losing structural
integrity on the lower decks.

Reroute emergency power.

It's insufficient.

Open a channel
to the lead Annari ship.

Sir?

Do it.

Aye, sir.

This is Captain Kim of
the Kraylor Vessel Nightingale.

I'm prepared to discuss terms
for our surrender.

End transmission.

We trusted you.

And you still should.

They're responding.

I don't have time to explain.

On screen.

Your surrender
will be unconditional.

No, it won't.

Either you allow my crew
to evacuate to the surface,

or I'll put this ship
on self-destruct.

You'll never get

the cloaking technology.

Something tells me
your superiors won't be happy

about that.

Your crew will be taken
aboard my vessel

and brought
to an Annari detention center.

My crew is going to the
surface in escape pods.

Once they're clear,
you can lock on

to this ship
with a tractor beam.

Agreed.

You've two minutes to evacuate.

1 will not abandon this ship.

I'm glad to hear that,

because I'm going
to need you here.

Get your people into
the pods... quickly.

But the cloak...

I've got a plan to save it.

If I fail, at least
the scientist who designed it

will be alive
to create another one.

Seven, scan the Annari's
tractor emitters.

I need to know
the exact beam polarity.

What are we going to do?

Once they lock on to us,
they're going to come about

and pull us away
from the planet.

As soon as they do,

we're going to reverse
our shield polarity.

If we time it right,

it should give us
enough momentum

to outrun them
to the defense perimeter.

We're going to use their
own weapons against them?

The escape pods are away.

Disengage the cloak.

They've locked on.

Sir?

Not yet.

Steady.

Now!

Status?

Shields are failing.

Four Annari vessels
are in pursuit.

They're closing.

Full thrusters!

Shields are down.

Get us through that defense
perimeter, Mr. Terek.

Yes, sir.

We're inside.

The Annari have
broken off their pursuit.

Take us to the surface,
Mr. Terek.

We've just crossed out
of Annari space.

Our escorts have broken off.

They're going to warp.

Bring the long-range sensors
on line.

You and Tom, take the Flyer.

Start your search
at Harry's last known position.

Tuvok, send an
encrypted message

to the Kraylor homeworld.

See if they know where
Harry and Seven are.

That won't be
necessary, Captain.

Ensign Kim is hailing us.

From where?

A cloaked vessel.

It's directly astern.

Acting Captain's Personal Log,
Stardate 54282.5.

Final entry.

New cloaking systems
are being installed

in other Kraylor ships,

so I guess
the mission was a success.

Still, I wish
I felt better about it.

Welcome home.

It's good to be back.

So, what'll it be tonight?

I have a light
Tula cheese soufflé

or a zesty lasagna.

You know, Neelix,
the truth is, I'm not sure.

I thought
we talked about this.

A Captain has to be deci...

I'm not a Captain, Neelix.

Not yet, anyway.
