Star Trek: Voyager

Last time on Star Trek: Voyager...

Stay the course!

They're breaking through.

We'll be dead

if we don't get the shields back up.

Arm yourselves!

Who attacked you?

We don't know.

We can't communicate with them.

They've been attacking us for weeks.

Your crew has been running criminal experiments here.

I know. I designed them.

You?

That's a violation of your programming.

They deleted my ethical subroutines.

It's easy to cling to principles when you're standing on a vessel

with its bulkheads intact,

manned by a crew that's not starving.

It's never easy, but, if we turn our backs

on our principles, we stop being human.

I'm putting an end to your experiments,

and you are hereby relieved of your command.

I rerouted transporter control to a panel in the next junction.

We can...

Bridge, they've got the field generator.

What do you mean, they've got it?

I don't know how, but they beamed it off of Voyager.

We're going home.

We can't let Voyager stop us now,

not when we're this close.

Shields are down.

Arm yourselves.

Get us out of here.

And now the conclusion.

Fissures are opening, all decks!

Captain!

Give me tactical control!

Good guess.

I used a deflector pulse to reinforce the shields.

It won't hold for long.

Bridge to Sick Bay.

We have a medical emergency.

Doctor, respond.

Ensign.

Casualty reports are coming in.

Two dead, 13 wounded.

We took heavy damage to the engines.

The Equinox?

They've gone to warp.

Any sign of nucleogenic particles?

No.

Then they haven't engaged

their enhanced warp drive yet.

Keep looking for...

Report.

The shield grid is back in place.

The aliens are staying clear.

Are sensors picking up Voyager?

It looks like they're under attack.

Maintain course.

Captain, I found the Doctor's mobile emitter on Deck 9.

You might want to take it to Sick Bay.

Any sign of the Doc?

I've got him right here.

Please state the nature of the...

Don't bother.

You should start with Chakotay.

I've got him stabilized,

but he's got internal injuries.

We found your emitter on Deck 9.

I was taken hostage by the Equinox crew.

I deactivated myself to escape.

Did you stop them?

No.

I'd ask for a status report,

but I'm not sure I'd want to hear it.

Harry's analyzing the sound we've been hearing.

He thinks it's some form of communication.

Well, I once figured out

how to speak with a Terrelian Seapod.

This couldn't be that much harder.

Once I get out of Sick Bay, I'll lend him a hand.

We should all be focusing our efforts

on finding the Equinox.

First things first... we've got to stop these attacks.

Our enemies aren't the aliens.

They're the humans aboard the Equinox.

It's crucial that you don't...

Who is it?

It's Max. I've brought you a visitor.

Hold on.

Come in.

I'm glad you're okay.

I've been using this synaptic stimulator.

I was just taking a stroll along the Tenkaran Coast.

You're welcome to try it.

State your intentions.

You know, once we get our enhanced warp drive

back on line, we'll be on our way home.

But it'll still take months to get there.

You can spend that time in the brig, or...

you can become part of this crew.

I'd prefer the latter.

I'd prefer the brig.

You know, Janeway's not the only captain

who can help you explore your humanity.

You would be an inferior role model.

Janeway clung to her morality

at the expense of her crew.

Maybe you should learn from that mistake.

Her only mistake was trusting you.

Take care of her wound.

First-degree phaser burns, minor lacerations.

Looks like we'll have to amputate.

That was a joke.

You're supposed to smile and make a witty retort.

I'm familiar with human banter.

Yours is crude and predictable.

You know, Seven... can I call you Seven?

We don't have many luxuries around here.

All we've got is each other.

You might try letting your shields down,

or else it's going to be a lonely trip.

I'll be damned.

Looks like our Doctor left us a replacement.

Seven...?

We are captives.

I was attacked by their EMH.

Good. You can treat your friend.

Priming the injectors.

Marla to Bridge.

Go ahead.

We're ready.

Acknowledged.

Infuse the enhanced warp drive

with 20 isograms of the compound.

Aye, sir.

Warp drive ready.

Engage.

What happened?

Power relays are off-line.

They've been encoded.

Give us the codes.

No.

If she won't give us the codes,

maybe we could extract them ourselves.

Seven's cranial infrastructure is highly complex.

You'll need months just to figure out

what she had for breakfast.

That's why you're gonna help us.

I refuse.

Do it or I'll erase your program.

Be my guest.

Doctor.

Don't worry. They need me.

They'd be cutting off their holographic nose

to spite their face.

Now, I suggest you...

All right, Doctor.

Now, get to work.

You know what we're looking for.

Very well.

She'll try to resist.

I'I have to restrain her.

Doctor.

I deleted his ethical subroutines.

He'll be a little more cooperative now.

You keep me posted.

Aye, Captain.

This way, please.

It's not exactly Shakespeare, but it gets the point across.

A small olive branch is still an olive branch.

Run this through your translation matrix.

Set your weapons down.

Commander?

Somebody's got to start trusting somebody around here.

Belay that order.

I appreciate your optimism, but, in this case, weapons.

Ready to transmit.

Drop shields, Bridge only.

Go ahead, Harry.

Raise shields.

If they understood our message, they haven't responded.

There's your response.

Activate another deflector pulse.

Shields are holding at 62 percent.

That should buy us another few minutes of peace and quiet.

I suggest we make the most of it.

Focus your efforts on repairing the warp drive.

We've got to find the Equinox.

If it's all the same to you,

I'd like to take another stab at the message.

If we can reroute...

They're not listening, Chakotay.

We should be tracking Ransom,

not tinkering with adverbs.

Want your First Officer's advice?

Allow me.

Our deflectors losing power

and when it fails, we'll be defenseless.
