Stardate 53167.9: Trying to escape from an apparently hostile race guarding a series of time-saving wormholes, Voyager hides on a planet devastated by nuclear war. Seven locates a cryogenically frozen man and revives him. The survivor insists upon the revival of his fellow war victims, offering their help to Janeway as the guardians of the wormhole close in on Voyager. But all is not as it seems. The revived survivors, almost 900 years ago, were bombed into submission after centuries of using wormholes to attack and conquer other worlds. The freshly thawed-out Vodwar, though they try to conceal the fact at every opportunity, are the only surviving oppressors from that war. Their leader wishes to resume their reign of terror, beginning with a takeover of Voyager.

Stardate 53753.2: A crew performance review turns up three junior crewmembers who have never seen away duty in their short Starfleet careers. Billy Telfer, a hypochondriac, spends far too much of his time in sick bay seeking help for imaginary afflictions. Bajoran Tal Celes doubts her own ability to do anything right at all, and is Telfer’s only close friend. Mortimer Harren, who works alone on the ship’s lowest deck, spends all of his days postulating new cosmological models of the universe – and no time at all socializing with anyone. Janeway decides to personally lead this mismatched trio of crewmembers on a routine exploratory mission…but when the mission turns out to be anything but routine, and Voyager is too far away to help, the captain is forced to rely on a very unpredictable and untried crew.

Stardate 54058.6: Tom Paris and Harry Kim are giving the new Delta Flyer a shakeout cruise to ensure that it lives up to the specs of the original, which was destroyed during the Borg infiltration mission. Another ship pulls up alongside the Flyer, and the pilot challenges Tom to a drag race in space – a race which the Delta Flyer wins only over Harry’s protests. The other pilot’s ship develops a problem, and Tom and Harry have to beam her out of her ship to save her. As they work on repairing her vessel, she tells the Starfleet officers about a race in a neighboring sector – a race in which Tom is eager to enter the new Delta Flyer, even if it means sacrificing time with B’Elanna. The race commemorates a new and still delicate peace – but the contestants are about to find out that someone is hoping to end that peace. Will war consume the sector before Tom and B’Elanna patch their relationship up?

Notes: Cyia Batten was one of the string of actresses who portrayed Gul Dukat’s daughter, Tora Ziyal, on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. B’Elanna’s mention of Geidi Prime is an in-joke reference to the homeworld of the Harkonnen in Frank Herbert’s “Dune” novels. It isn’t really better than Risa…

Stardate 54010.1: Tom and B’Elanna try out Tom’s new holodeck program – a mid-20th century movie theater – only to find Bajoran crewman Tabor comatose in the front row. Though still alive, Tabor has suffered an attack that left his skull cobwebbed with microfractures. Two more crew members soon suffer the same fate, and all three are former Maquis. Chakotay decides that the attacker must be a member of Voyager’s original Starfleet contingent, and puts his fellow ex-Maquis on alert (as well as ordering them to arm themselves). Rumors and paranoia run rampant as Tuvok tries to investigate the increasing number of assaults, but when B’Elanna and Chakotay become the next victims, these worries seem well founded. Tuvok’s obsessive quest to solve the crime wave ultimately leads him to conclude that he himself is the prime suspect.

Guest Cast: Keith Szarabajka (Teero), Derek McGrath (Chell), Jad Mager (Tabor), Mark Rafael Truitt (Yossa), Ronald Robinson (Sek), Carol Krnic (Jor), Scott Alan Smith (Doyle), Majel Barrett (Computer voice)

Notes: The movie running in Tom’s Palace Theater holodeck program is Revenge Of The Creature, the real sequel to The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Revenge Of The Creature has also appeared in another popular SF series – it was the movie which opened Mystery Science Theater 3000’s eighth season, and boy, did it hurt. Guest star Keith Szarabajka played the sinister ex-husband of telepath Talia Winters in a second season episode of Babylon 5.
