Last time on Star Trek Voyager.
They're going to take your son.
When Culluh saw the baby wasn't his... Please help us.
- Not for me, for your son. - I told you to stay out of here.
I can't just leave and go looking for the child.
And I wouldn't let you go into a Kazon-Nistrim stronghold alone.
Captain, I can go back and bring the Talaxians to help us.
We're being boarded, Captain.
- Stay where you are. - Don't move.
Hold your fire.
Computer, activate Medical Holographic recall. Set for 12 hours.
A fitting end for a people who would not share their technology.
Let's see if you manage to survive... without it.
We'll divide the crew. Each of you will be a team leader.
Make it clear we expect to be rescued.
And now the conclusion...
- Let me help you. - I'm OK.
Don't push yourself. That goes for everyone.
Perspiring wastes water.
All right, people, follow me. Let's take it slow.
This is the most defensible location we've seen.
The overhang should provide shelter, and the breeze keeps insects away.
All right, let's make camp!
Neelix, look at this.
They almost look constructed.
Maybe the people are cave dwellers.
If that's true, I'd say this is a do-not-disturb sign, wouldn't you?
They look humanoid.
We might be able to use these as tools or weapons. Gather them up.
- Is there a problem? - No, sir. Do you want all of them?
Waste nothing. That's one of the first rules of survival.
Neelix, over here!
Hogan!
Computer, repeat stabiliser diagnostic.
Damage has been detected in the stabiliser acceleration sensors.
I just repaired the acceleration sensors!
Warning. Vessel approaching on intercept course.
- Signature? - Kazon patrol vessel.
Damn it! I don't have time for this.
I don't have time for this! Computer, all stop.
Engage impulse.
I told you, I don't have time for this.
That's all that's left of Hogan's uniform.
We didn't find anything else.
If I hadn't told Hogan to pick up these bones...
You shouldn't blame yourself.
There's no time for blame. Hogan was a good man.
We must make sure his death is the last for a long time!
I will not let this planet destroy my crew.
The tunnels are off-limits.
I want clear safety protocols established.
We need weapons.
I have designed some basic devices.
What's our food and water status?
I can make solar stills with this.
We could have water tomorrow.
None of the search teams found plants of any nutritional value.
Then tell the crew to start turning over rocks.
If anyone balks at eating these, tell them it's an order.
They may be the difference between life and death.
Activate Emergency Medical Holographic program.
State the nature of the emergency.
Hello, Doctor. Remember me?
How could I forget a Bajoran crewman with a Cardassian physiology?
How are you, Seska? I see we have a new passenger.
I have to inform you about a change of command. I'm curious how you'll react.
- The Kazon-Nistrim have taken the ship. - How interesting.
Is that a problem?
One humanoid is pretty much the same as another for a hologram.
I'm programmed to provide medical care to anyone who needs it.
Is it within your program's capabilities to lie or be deceptive?
A bedside manner occasionally requires me to... how shall I put it...
soft-pedal the truth.
But bold-faced lying? Calculated deceit? I don't have much experience with that.
But my program is adaptive. If you need me to be deceptive, I could learn.
I think we'll keep you just as you are.
As you wish. Your baby's in good health.
You don't know how primitive Kazon medicine is.
Chakotay would be glad to know you're looking after his son.
Chakotay's son? That isn't Chakotay's son.
But you're wrong. I impregnated myself with his DNA.
That may have been your intention, but it certainly wasn't the result.
Here. See for yourself.
Your child has Cardassian DNA strands here and Kazon DNA here.
Human DNA has a significantly different nucleotide sequence.
But I was so certain. He looks...
He's the first Cardassian-Kazon.
We have no frame of reference by which to judge his appearance.
Perhaps he will develop more Kazon features as he matures.
Maje Culluh will be so pleased. End Medical Holographic Program.
Medical log, stardate 50032.7.
Commander Chakotay is not the father of Seska's child.
I only wish there was some way to inform him.
What am I supposed to do? Lead a revolt with a gang from Sandrine's?
Conjure up Nathan Hale and Che Guevara? I'm not a counterinsurgent.
Get a hold of yourself. You're not just a hologram. You're a Starfleet hologram.
Maybe...
Maybe I could access a tactical database, teach myself guerrilla warfare.
But that would take time. Computer, what is the crew complement?
- There are 89 Kazon... - 897
...and one Betazoid on board.
- What did you say? Betazoid? - There is one Betazoid on board.
- Where? Who? - Please restate a single question.
- Who is it? - Crewman Lon Suder.
- Suder. Where is he? - Between decks 8 and 9.
- Doctor to Suder. - Yes! Yes, I hear you.
The ship has been taken over by the Kazon-Nistrim.
I know. I've been hiding.
- Can you make it to sickbay? - I think so.
Computer, Emergency Medical priority 114.
Delete the signature of Mr Suder's comm badge from the system.
Huddle together in groups to preserve body heat. Don't be shy.
Captain. How do you like your eggs?
- We found a nest. - And that's not all.
Cucumbers. There are vines full of them two hours from here.
Take them to Neelix and tell him to hold off on the beetle stew.
- How's she doing, Samantha? - She seems tired, listless.
Maybe she's adjusting to the environment. She was born in space.
Make sure you stay close to the fire... as soon as we have one.
Trapped on a barren planet
with the only Indian in the universe who can't start a fire.
I was never good at this.
None of the others have had any success with it either.
We need kindling of some sort.
What?
Something my father once told me about starting a fire.
There you go.
If we put bigger rocks around the fire, they'll reflect the heat. I'll get some.
Neelix.
You shouldn't go too far away from camp.
Voyager's been taken by the Kazon-Nistrim. They're telling everyone.
- Is there any word on the crew? - I'm afraid not.
We can be on our way in a few hours.
Our ships are no match for Voyager and your shuttlecraft can hardly...
Commander Paxim, my people are counting on you!
No one knows Voyager like I do. I know every vulnerability, every blind spot.
Don't worry. I have a plan.
Very well. We'll rendezvous in an hour. Paxim out.
One hour... I should be able to come up with some kind of plan in one hour.
- I thought you were lost. - Sorry. They're still repairing the ship.
- I had to be careful. - We must hurry. We're at warp.
We've got to slow the ship down before we get too far from the crew.
And then we have to get some weapons.
Mr Suder, are you listening to me?
Yes.
I see. Perhaps you consider this... an opportunity.
- Opportunity? - To obtain your freedom.
- How foolish of me to think you'd help. - You're wrong.
- I do want to help. - Then... what?
I'm going to have to kill some of them.
It is possible. Violence might be required to retake the ship.
I've worked so...
so hard over the last few months to control the violent feelings.
I'm almost at peace with myself.
I mean, I see the day coming when I could be.
Mr Suder.
Lieutenant Tuvok would tell you there are times when violence is required -
to defend yourself, to defend your ship, to defend your crew.
Yes, there is a logical use for violence for everyone else.
- With me, once it begins... - We must do this together.
If you don't trust yourself yet, then trust me. I will help you any way I can.
One hologram and one sociopath may not be much, but we'll have to do.
There are signs of a struggle near the edge of camp. I found alien tracks.
- We can't wait till morning to find them. - I'm good at tracking.
I've completed a few weapons that might be appropriate.
This is thoughtful of you, Tuvok,
but my tribe never used bows and arrows.
This is mine. I taught archery science at the Vulcan Institute of Defensive Arts.
Take as many crew members as you need.
You just keep your hands off her!
- Commander. - Are you all right?
- They haven't hurt us. - Who is their leader?
- I'd say it's the one with the claw. - I agree.
The other two seem to be trying to figure out what to make of us.
Not in a culinary sense, I hope.
Listen to the sound of my voice, and you'll know that I mean you no harm.
I come without weapons.
But I must have my people back.
Thank you, but she should stay with you.
I must take them with me.
Stand? Certainly, I'll be happy to stand.
What? No. No! That is unacceptable!
Kes, stand up slowly and walk away with us.
We have to go now.
Just keep walking. Don't look back.
In there!
- That's like the tunnel where Hogan... - I know.
If they know it too, they won't follow us in.
You'd think this crew had never seen a warp drive before.
No one tried to adjust the antimatter flow today?
- No one. - If you're lying, I'll have your head.
I swear it, Maje.
I'd expect some warning before the antimatter injector froze.
A drop in core temperature, a magnetic constriction alarm, something.
- He's either lying or... - Or what?
Computer, run a level-1 scan for intruders.
Unable to comply. Internal scanner relays have been damaged.
- You said all repairs were complete. - They were... I thought they were.
I want a search of all Jefferies tubes and conduits.
Use the Federation tricorders.
Do you have a portable thoron generator?
Of course. We use it to treat radiation burns.
It's an old Maquis trick.
Thoron particles neutralise tricorder sensors.
Mr Suder, we need some weapons if we're going to retake the ship.
She has a fever. I don't know what to do.
Let me get her some water.
- The baby needs water. - Those tremors are getting stronger.
Chakotay's team should be back. We better look for them.
Get a few people together. I'll join you in a second.
We have to see if there's another way out of here.
- I feel a breeze. - It's coming from this way.
Do you think Chakotay would go in there?
- He may have had to. - Can we get them away?
- A couple of phaser blasts would do it. - Who's a fast runner?
I was on the decathlon team at the Academy.
The coach was furious that I quit.
- Anyone else here who can run? - Yeah.
You three will be the sprint team. Once you reach our camp, you should be safe.
Which way do you like, Tuvok?
From a tactical point of view, the options are not encouraging.
But moving past the creature might lead us to an exit.
All right, let's take it slow. Single file.
- Up here! - Come on!
You want us? Come and get us! Come on.
Pull this.
Look out!
Chakotay! Tuvok!
- The tunnel is clear! - Go!
Everybody out!
Move. Let's go. Go!
Chakotay, your spear.
- Go, go, go! - Come on. Go!
Come on.
I don't understand it. Thoron particles are leaking into the conduits.
I can't get any other readings. Check the next level.
Incoming message on the Emergency Medical Holographic channel.
On the emergency channel?
Doc, I hope you're receiving this. If you're not, I'm dead.
I'm piggybacking this message on a fake Kazon signal.
They won't be monitoring your Emergency Medical channel.
I'm bringing help, but you have to do something.
When the attack begins,
get the computer to block the discharge from the backup phaser power couplings.
You got that? The back-up couplings.
I'm taking out the primary couplings. I need the backups to overload.
Don't do anything until the attack begins or they might notice.
That's it for now. I'll be seeing you soon, I hope.
Good news. Help is on the way. Mr Paris apparently was able to...
I didn't think I should leave him there where they could find him.
You were smart to bring him here. We can put him in a stasis drawer.
Well, we have weapons now.
You did what was necessary. 5 cc's of improvoline will help you calm down.
No! No drugs. I just need to breathe.
See the light that is my breath.
We've just received a message from our patrol ship.
They have tracked down the shuttle from Voyager and destroyed it.
- Were two people on board? - They didn't say.
Two people were unaccounted for when we captured the crew.
Have they found an intruder on board?
No. But the search has been slowed down by a thoron particle leak.
Thoron particles? That's an old Maquis trick to fool tricorders.
After what transpired, we have to prepare ourselves for an alien attack.
We must increase the weapons arsenal and train everyone in their use.
I don't like the sound of that. We may have to coexist with them a long time.
- Nevertheless... - We must find a way to share this world.
You may find nobility in the savage, but he only wants to kill you.
- I don't believe that. - Captain!
The baby's having trouble breathing. She has a high fever.
There's nothing more I can do for her.
Captain!
Our top priority has been dictated. We've got to go before it blows.
Why are you still here? I shut down your program when I left.
- You must be mistaken. - Where's your thoron generator?
It was damaged on a recent away mission and left behind.
- Who else is on board? - I wouldn't know.
I don't believe you.
There are several dozen crewmen on board, sabotaging your vessel.
That's a lie. At most, there is one, and I believe it is a Maquis crewman.
You're right. It is one of the Maquis.
I won't play games with a trick of light.
Sticks and stones won't break my bones, so I don't mind being called names.
I don't believe you could have sabotaged this ship alone.
Since you are about to disable my program anyway, let me take the credit.
I did sabotage the ship all by myself, with the computer's help, of course.
One of your crewman came in and caught me in the act.
- You killed him? - He left me no choice.
Why create a thoron leak?
I would think it's obvious. To make you believe I was hiding someone.
I've had your people crawling around for hours, looking for an intruder.
You are talented in the art of deception.
I was inspired by the presence of a master.
Computer, access Culluh-01. Disregard all commands from Starfleet personnel.
Security lockout.
Seska to Bridge. What's going on?
Talaxian ships have fired on us. Nothing to worry about.
Goodbye, Doctor. I'd rather not take any more chances.
Doctor?
Activate Medical Holographic program.
Unable to respond. Starfleet voice access has been cancelled.
Mr Suder. If you are hearing this,
you have just attempted to access the Emergency Medical program.
I have been disabled.
This means that the fate of Voyager now depends solely on you.
I can imagine how you must feel. You have my full confidence.
You have shown great courage and dedication.
I have left an additional message noting your heroism,
in case I am irretrievable.
You know what you have to do,
and I know with our fate in your hands, we will prevail.
Good luck, Mr Suder.
The Talaxians are retreating.
We'll teach them the price for attacking the Nistrim. Lay in a pursuit course.
Commander Paxim to Paris.
They're following us as planned. We're bringing them to you.
Ready and waiting. I just hope you are too, Doc.
This way.
It's OK.
Kazon language.
Here we go.
- What's happening? - We're under attack.
- From where? - I'm not picking up anything.
- Shields are buckling. - Take evasive action.
I have it. It's a Federation shuttlecraft.
Lock phasers. Destroy it.
- Primary phaser power is down. - Switch to backup systems.
Confirmed. Phasers are locked on.
Fire!
I don't understand. I'm showing an overload.
Yes, Doc, yes! Paris to Commander Paxim. Stand by.
I'm going to transport your people to Voyager.
Seska!
Seska.
Engineering to Maje Culluh. We're being boarded.
Abandon ship.
I'm sealing off the bridge. I've got to get the computer back on-line.
Starfleet voice access is disabled.
A Kazon shuttle and escape pods are leaving the ship.
Forget them. We have more important things to do.
She's breathing better, isn't she?
Welcome back, Captain.
Well done.
I had a lot of help. The Talaxians, the Doc, Mr Suder.
Suder? We thought he was killed.
No. He and the Doctor sabotaged the ship.
Suder disabled the phasers before they killed him.
You would have been proud of him, Mr Tuvok.
I offer you a Vulcan prayer, Mr Suder.
May your death bring you the peace you never found in life.
Mr Kim, is this ship capable of sustained flight?
All systems are functioning within normal parameters.
Take us away from our new home and set a course for the old one. Warp 8.
Heading 41, mark 77. Destination, Alpha Quadrant.
Engage.
