Stardate not given: The crew’s annual physicals reveal evidence of a most disturbing operation – at some point a year and a half ago, the Doctor performed an unorthodox neural surgery on Ensign Kim…but neither Harry nor the Doctor himself can remember such a procedure. When the Doctor tries to recover his lost memories, it seems that someone or something is continuing to tamper with his program, trying to keep him from recalling the incident in question. The Doctor sets his holo-imager to capture evidence of anyone breaking into the sickbay computers to alter his program further, and makes the shocking discovery that Captain Janeway is the one who is trying to derail his investigation.

Stardate 52438.9: On an arid planet, scavenger Noss fends for herself against other hunters, all of whom have been stranded by this world’s unusual gravity well. Noss watches as another ship crash-lands violently on the planet, and reluctantly befriends its two pilots after one of them rescues her from the aliens. Even though these two newcomers are also alien to Noss, she finds herself falling in love with one of them, but for reasons she will never understand, her feelings will never be reciprocated. Noss must decide whether or not there is still any reason to aid these two wanderers. How can she warrant risking her life to help them when the one who calls himself Tuvok cannot comprehend her affection?

Stardate 52542.3: Voyager’s sensors detect a wormhole that qualifies as nothing short of a miracle – not only is the wormhole stable for the time being, but sensors and probes indicate that it will deposit Voyager directly into Earth space. Janeway is initially very suspicious, but this soon gives way to joyous anticipation of a return home. Only Seven of Nine retains any semblance of suspicion, an intuitive caution which is reinforced when she visually spots a ship trapped in the interior of the wormhole – even though the ship’s sensors aren’t picking it up. Seven thinks that something or someone is manipulating the crew’s expectations, feeding them exactly what they want to see and hear…but she isn’t prepared for the possibility that this force also has enough control over the crew to put their Borg skeptic out of commission.

Stardate not given: Voyager has docked with a Varro generational ship, a huge vessel which is not only a closed ecosystem, but a closed society which avoids all contact with outsiders. However, not all of the Varro have been sticking to their xenophobic ways – and not every member of Voyager’s crew has been observing Starfleet protocols about engaging in intimate relations with alien species. Harry has fallen for Varro engineer Derran Tal, and even when unforseen biological side-effects expose their relationship to both ships’ crews, they continue to see each other, no matter whose orders they defy. What Harry doesn’t know is that Tal represents a serious threat to her own people – a splinter faction that wants to explore other worlds and cultures instead of shunning them. Without realizing it, Harry may have set in motion the downfall of the Varro civilization as its people know it.

Stardate 52586.3: The crew gathers to celebrate the wedding of Tom Paris and B’Elanna Torres, but the joyous occasion turns out to be the last good news any of them will ever experience. B’Elanna falls ill and dies, and Voyager’s own structure begins to break down. Soon, others begin to fall victim to the same epidemic, until only a handful of the crew is alive, leaving Harry Kim in charge of the ship. Ultimately, the entire crew perishes in a futile attempt to seek assistance from a nearby vessel…the Federation starship Voyager.
