Season 05 Star Trek Voyager

Juggernaut

Star Trek: VoyagerStardate not given: Voyager happens upon a doomed Malon waste freighter, which is about to vent its lethal cargo of theta radiation across an entire sector. Only two Malons seem to have survived whatever happened to their ship, and once beamed to the safety of sick bay, both of them are terrified to return. Chakotay, Neelix and B’Elanna beam to the Malon ship in a final attempt to stabilize its structure, taking the two Malon crewmen with them. But when one of the two Malon is murdered by an unknown creature, it appears that their superstitions may be more accurate than Voyager’s crew thought. And B’Elanna’s fierce temper, which Tuvok cites as a reason to restrict her from away duty, could be her only means of surviving.

Someone To Watch Over Me

Star Trek: VoyagerStardate not given: B’Elanna is outraged to discover that, to further her study of human sexual interaction, Seven of Nine has been taking notes on B’Elanna’s relationship with Tom. The Doctor recommends a more academic (and less voyeuristic) approach to Seven’s studies. In the meantime, as Captain Janeway beams down for a cultural exchange with the chaste Kadi race, a Kadi ambassador visits Voyager for a few days, forgoing his race’s conservative ways for a chance to experience every pleasure that Voyager has to offer, whether it’s Neelix’s cooking or scantily-clad women in the holodeck. And when the Kadi ambassador sets his sights on Seven, who has only barely begun to comprehend human relations under the Doctor’s tutelage, a serious diplomatic incident may be the result.
