Stardate 54337.5: The Doctor has thrown his lot in with Iden and the renegade holograms, giving them the means to shake off Voyager’s pursuit, but also giving them the means to kidnap B’Elanna, whose expertise the Doctor has mentioned many times. Iden continues his quest to find a homeworld for the holograms, but as that search becomes more dangerous with both Voyager and the Hirogen in pursuit, it soon becomes clear that Iden’s charismatic idealism may blaze a trail of blood across the Delta Quadrant. When Iden crosses the line and kills an organic crew in an attempt to liberate their ship’s holograms – which turn out to be rudimentary workers with no sentience or personality – even some of his own crew begin the question the nobility of his motives.
