Voyager fails in its attempt to vaporize an incoming asteroid and discovers that they’re artificially guided. When Neelix and Tuvok are abandoned on the planet just before the next scheduled asteroid strike, they and some colonists use a maglift carriage to climb an orbital tether to a point where they can contact the ship.

As the carriage rises into the thinning atmosphere, they discover what the real motivation behind both the asteroids and the surrounding secrecy is.

Before & After

Star Trek: VoyagerStardate not given: “Grandma Kes” awakens surrounded by people who claim they are her family, but whom she doesn’t recognize. She fades into unconsciousness and reawakens at a slightly earlier time in her life. Although she remembers the experience, it apparently hasn’t happened yet for the rest of the crew. Confused and frightened, Kes continues to experience the morilogium – the final phase of the Ocampan lifespan – as well as the temporal effects of life-extension treatments in the Doctor’s experimental bio-temporal chamber. As the temporal effects grow more and more out of control, Kes regresses through her entire life, seeing a 9-year history of Voyager in reverse as she struggles to understand her situation and how to stop what is happening to her.

Distant Origin

When Gegen, the chief researcher, suggests that based on these findings, the true origin of the Voth is Earth, their leader, Minister Odala, deems him a heretic.

Displaced

Star Trek: VoyagerStardate 50912.4: As Nyrians begin appearing on the Voyager at 9:20 intervals, crewmembers begin to disappear at the same rate. Although the visitors seem peaceful, Janeway suspects an organized takeover. Her suspicions are confirmed as the crew find themselves in a holographically generated environment where they are held prisoner. The startling appearance of a fellow prisoner from an adjoining “cell” makes them realize how to move between areas of what turns out to be a giant ship filled with different environments and a command center with an extremely long-range transporter.

Worst Case Scenario

Star Trek: VoyagerStardate 50953.4: Chakotay startles B’Elanna by recruiting her for a Maquis mutiny, and then proceeds to carry it out. Things get even stranger when Seska turns up as one of the mutineers. Suddenly Paris walks into the scene, revealing the fact that Torres is playing a holo-novel. The experience was designed by Tuvok as a training exercise shortly after the joining of the two crews when the security officer felt that a mutiny was a real possibility. The fresh literary material is so intriguing to the crew that many of them begin surreptitiously playing the program and Janeway instructs Tuvok to write an ending and make it more than a training exercise. But Seska had discovered the program before she defected to the Kazon and she rewrote the subroutines to take her revenge on Tuvok for having betrayed the Maquis back when they were still in the Alpha Quadrant.
