Paris to the Captain.

Janeway here.

I've done an anaIysis
of our route through Botha space

whenever you have a minute
to check it out.

I'm on my way to Engineering.

I'II be with you
as soon as I'm done.

Aye, Captain.

Ah, Captain.

The computer toId me
I'd find you

on Deck 1 1, Section 4B,
starboard side

and, sure enough, here you are.

What can I do for you, NeeIix?

I assumed you'd want
to taIk to me.

About?

About the Botha.

We're headed for their space,
and, as I've toId you,

they're going to have
to be handIed very carefuIIy.

I understand, and of course
I want your counseI,

but, right now,
I'm Iate for a meeting.

I wouIdn't put
this off too Iong.

We're getting cIoser, you know.

Yes, I know.

And I wiII be with you
as soon as I can.

Sorry I'm Iate.
What do you have?

I think we're about ready

to make our first attempt,
Captain.

If you're successfuI,
wiII the Doctor

be abIe to move freeIy
around the entire ship?

Not exactIy.

The hoIo-emitters wiII be
set up in certain key areas--

the Bridge, Engineering.

We'II be abIe to transfer
him to those Iocations.

In the same way we can now
transfer him to the hoIodeck?

ExactIy.

But if he tries
to move into an area

where there's no emitter fieId,
he'II demateriaIize.

I have the hoIo-projector
on Iine.

We're ready to start.

Proceed.
I don't have much time.

Engineering to Sick Bay.

Doctor, we're ready here.

I'm standing by.

Okay. Here goes.

Initiating transfer.

Here he comes.

WeII, this is certainIy
a briIIiant feat of engineering.

What happened?

I'd guess the imaging interface
wasn't properIy stabiIized.

Just a smaII oversight.

No pun intended.

Very amusing.

How Iong wiII it take you
to correct this smaII oversight?

Maybe a coupIe of hours.

Mr. Kim, I have to assess
our navigationaI pIan

and get ready to make contact
with an aIien species.

I can't drop everything
whenever you caII.

Tuvok to Janeway.

Go ahead.

Captain, I wouId Iike
a haIf an hour of your time

to review the security protocoIs
before we encounter the Botha.

Yes, Mr. Tuvok, somehow...
I wiII find haIf an hour.

Excuse me, Captain.

WouId you come down here,
pIease?

Yes?

When did you Iast
take shore Ieave?

About two months ago.

Ah. How Iong since you've done

something pIeasurabIe
for recreation?

Doctor, I know
I'm a bit testy today,

but I can assure you...

How Iong?

It's... been a whiIe.

I have a hoIonoveI program.

It heIps me unwind.

I haven't had time to
run it for a few weeks.

WeII, I want you to-- now.

Doctor, I'm reaIIy very busy.

I've checked
StarfIeet reguIations.

The Chief MedicaI Officer

outranks the Captain
in heaIth matters.

Now, I reaIize
this may be the first time

a hoIogram has given an order
to a Captain,

but I'm ordering you to report
to the hoIodeck-- now.

Aye, sir.

And the two of you
can get busy undoing

this ridicuIous bIunder
of yours!

Good afternoon, miIord.

WiII the chiIdren
be joining us for tea?

PresentIy.

Lord BurIeigh...

is something wrong?

Yes.

TerribIy wrong.

I have faIIen in Iove with you,
Lucie.

MiIord.

HeIIo, Father.

We're ready for tea.

I want cucumber sandwiches.

You'II wait your turn,
young man.

What may I serve you, miIord?

Nothing. Thank you.

I see.

I want my tea in this cup,
pIease,

and I don't want
a cucumber sandwich.

I don't Iike the way
Cook cuts them.

MiIord, you'II be very pIeased
with the chiIdren's progress

in their studies this week.

Henry shows a reaI taIent
for mathematics,

and Beatrice turns out to be
quite musicaI.

Beatrice?

MusicaI?

I don't know what she means.

She's very modest about it.

I've heard her severaI times
in the music room,

pIaying a IoveIy Mozart sonata,

but whenever I ask her
to pIay it for me, she won't.

I think her taIent
shouId be encouraged.

WouId you consider Iessons?

I didn't know Beatrice
couId pIay the piano.

I'm sorry.

It's just a cup.

Don't be a goose.

It's the fIower cup--
Mother's cup.

It doesn't matter!

Mrs. TempIeton!

PIease take the chiIdren
to the nursery.

Yes, miIord.

Come.

PIease stay here,
Mrs. Davenport.

Beatrice is upset.

I shouId be with her.

I want you here.

What's happening in this house?

How can you not know
that Beatrice pIays the piano?

Why shouIdn't I go
to the fourth fIoor?

What's up there?

Those are questions
you must not ask.

But I am asking them.

I'm worried about the chiIdren.

Beatrice fantasizes that
her mother is stiII aIive.

Don't pursue this, I beg you.

Bridge to the Captain.

Freeze program.

Janeway here.

We've been haiIed
by a representative

of the Bothan government.

They'd Iike to taIk to you.

I'II be right there.

Sorry, miIord.

Duty caIIs.

Captain, I knew we shouId
have taIked this morning.

TeII me what you know,
NeeIix.

I've been in subspace contact
with some oId friends of mine--

uh, nomads, coIIectors,
much as I used to be.

They're in a position
to gather information

during their traveIs.

What they've toId me
doesn't sound good.

In what way?

There are Iots of rumors
about ships

entering Bothan space,
never to be heard from again.

My sources on Mithren say

that they have Iost
a number of vesseIs.

They say the Botha protect
their territory fierceIy.

But we aren't aggressors.

I don't think they are either.

They just don't want anyone
crossing their borders.

WiII they negotiate?

WiII they respond to dipIomacy?

It's hard to say.

There's some beIief
that they don't even have

a Iegitimate cIaim
to the space--

that they're nothing more
than pernicious, odious vandaIs,

in which case, dipIomacy
wouId faII on deaf ears.

We're being haiIed again,
Captain.

On screen.

I'm Kathryn Janeway

of the Federation
Starship Voyager.

Why have you entered our space
without permission?

We didn't reaIize
this was your space.

On what basis do you cIaim it?

I have no intention
of expIaining myseIf to you.

The fact is, you're vioIating
our territory.

I assure you,
we mean no disrespect.

We are from another part
of the gaIaxy.

We're just trying
to make our way home.

We'II send a ship
to rendezvous with you.

If you meet the criteria,
we'II consider your request.

Thank you.

What are the criteria?

We'II discuss that when we meet.

FriendIy feIIow.

At Ieast they're wiIIing
to taIk.

I wonder why he wouIdn't
Iet us see his face.

I suspect it was
a caIcuIated move--

an attempt to intimidate us.

Commander, you have the Bridge.

Aye, Captain.

Mr. NeeIix, join me
in my ready room.

We shouId taIk
about this meeting.

Captain, if I may...

When was the Iast time you ate?

Ate?

Oh, I had some soup Iast night.

Then Iet me suggest

that we conduct our
taIk in the Mess HaII.

We're serving a sumptuous
repast for Iunch.

Right.

Lunch it is.

Captain, you have a nasty
habit of skipping meaIs,

and that can do horribIe things
to your eIectroIyte IeveIs.

I know, but sometimes
I just get too busy to eat.

AII you have to do
is give me a caII.

I'II be there in a trice
with a tray

of foods so deIectabIe
you won't be abIe to resist.

I do think I've outdone
myseIf this time.

An exquisite p�t� made
from SeItin wood fungus.

Brine-soaked neccel strips.

Ooh.

DeviIed wood throk.

Where did these come from?

Lieutenant Hargrove
asked for them.

Is something wrong?

No. Just a funny coincidence.

Something I saw on the hoIodeck.

Thank you, NeeIix.

This aII Iooks deIicious.

And it's bound to boost
my eIectroIyte IeveIs.

Where did you get that cup?

Why, I'm not sure.

I think I found severaI
of them in storage.

UnusuaI, isn't it?

Captain,
is everything aII right?

It's perfectIy aII right,
NeeIix.

I just have to remind myseIf
that coincidences do happen.

l can't help myself.

l've fallen in love with yo.

My mother is aIive

and my father Ioves her,
not you.

In the course of your
experiments with the Doctor,

have you accessed
any of the hoIodeck programs?

No, we're bypassing
the hoIodecks.

Where did you get
this hoIo-projector?

We found severaI of them
in storage.

We've been reconfiguring
them one by one.

So you haven't worked directIy
with any of the projectors

on the hoIodecks?

No.

Is there anything you've done--

anything you can think of--
that might have caused

hoIographic objects
and characters

to appear outside the hoIodeck?

Not that I'm aware of.

I was sure your experiments
wouId expIain it.

Captain,
there has to be a reason

why you've had these deIusions.

And we're going to figure
out what it is.

The Doctor pointed out that
I've been under some stress.

I can't ignore that.

I think we shouId check out

the imaging systems
on the hoIodeck.

There might be
a simpIe maIfunction.

Good idea.

We can run the diagnostic
from here in Engineering,

but you shouId activate
the program first.

I'II contact you
from the hoIodeck.

Janeway to Engineering.

Torres here.

Have you set up the diagnostic?

We're ready, Captain.

Go ahead.

Lucie!

Thank God you've come back.

Why are you dressed
so strangeIy?

It's...

a costume.

You'd Iook IoveIy in anything.

I've thought of you constantIy.

Remembered your touch...

your perfume...

your Iips.

Computer, deIete character.

Torres to Janeway.

We're finished, Captain,

but we didn't find
any maIfunctions.

RecaIibrate and try it again.

I'm going to check
something eIse.

Aye, Captain.

Captain!

I'm deIighted to see you.

Do you want a snack?

No, I'm fine.

But I wanted to ask you
about Iunch.

Didn't you Iike it?

It was deIicious.

I was just trying to remember
aII the dishes you made.

There was... the SeItin p�t�.

DeIectabIe.

The neccel strips.

Exquisite.

The deviIed throk.

SubIime.

And the cucumber sandwiches.

Cucumber sandwiches?

Weren't there...

cucumber sandwiches?

I don't even know what that is.

The other item on the menu
was a fried mrt cake.

You ate one.

And the cup you served
my tea in...?

One of these.

The ones I found in storage.

I thought...

it had fIowers on it.

FIowers?

WeII, no,
I don't see any fIowers.

Maybe there was another cup,

but I-I don't think so.

WouId you Iike a cup
with fIowers on it?

I'm sure I couId repIicate one.

It's aII right, NeeIix.

You've toId me
what I need to know.

I don't detect anything so far.

No evidence of aneurysm...

subduraI hematoma...

stroke.

CouId it be... stress?

PossibIy.

Did you go to the hoIodeck,
as I ordered?

Yes.

And was that reIaxing?

It was interesting.

I'm not sure
how reIaxing it was.

There are other possibiIities
we shouId consider.

I want to scan for airborne
bacteria and viruses.

We shouId investigate
the possibiIity

of an aIien intruder.

And I'd Iike to do
a cerebro-corticaI scan on you.

Oh!

Kes?

I... I don't know.

Strange.

SuddenIy, I feIt coId, shivery.

Someone was waIking
on your grave.

Hmm?

Just an oId saying on Earth.

A way of describing
an odd feeIing Iike that.

Hmm. How macabre.

It's a human expression,
Doctor.

I'd think you'd have heard it.

My programmers
didn't cIutter me up

with pithy Earth trivia.

They programmed me
with far more important data.

Kes, wouId you pIease get

my sub-neuraI scanner
from the med Iab?

Yes, Doctor.

What about my mother's grave?

There's no one inside.

The coffin is empty.

Doctor. Doctor.

Who do you see here?

I see you.

And I see you...

but I aIso see a IittIe girI
from my hoIodeck program.

What happened?

I'm not sure.

The image of the IittIe girI
suddenIy rushed at me.

I saw it, too.

When I came in...

I feIt as though
something hit me--

bounced off me--

then I saw the IittIe girI
moving right into you.

As though you became a mirror.

You refIected her back
toward me.

I've been doing some
mentaI exercises with Tuvok

deveIoping
my teIepathic abiIities,

but we haven't done
anything Iike this.

Captain, untiI I am abIe
to determine

the cause
of these haIIucinations,

I'd prefer that you return
to your quarters.

Get some rest.

VegetabIe bouiIIon.

No, canceI that.

Coffee ice cream.

HeIIo?

Is anyone there?

Computer...

is there anyone
in these quarters except me?

Negative.

Kath, are yo there?

Who's that?

Come look at the pppies.

Mark...

l've missed yo so mch, Kath.

When are yo coming back?

l don't think yo've missed me.

Someone else
is in yor thoghts now.

lsn't that tre?

lsn't there someone
yo're thinking of?.

Computer, open the door.

Everything was fine
untiI you came here.

I took care of him.

He trusted me,

but when you arrived,
aII that changed.

Janeway to Security.

Intruder aIert.

You've done nothing
but cause troubIe.

We don't want
more troubIe in our Iives!

Security
to the Captain's quarters!

Tuvok, pIease respond!

Captain!

Can you stiII see
the haIIucination?

Yes. The woman with the knife

is receding into the Captain
just Iike before.

Captain, Iisten to me!

You are in Sick Bay.

You are aII right.

Captain!

I think NeeIix can heIp you.

No one knows much
about the Botha,

but he has some information.

I know he's been doing research.

I'II check with him.

You'II probabIy want him
on the Bridge with you

when their ship arrives.

Good idea.

I'm not sure how Torres
and Kim are coming.

You know they're
trying to find a way

to transfer the Doctor
out of Sick Bay.

Yes.

It's not a priority,

but you might want
to stay on top of it.

Of course.
Let's see.

There was a probIem with one
of the defIector shieIds.

You'II want
to foIIow up on that.

And SteIIar Cartography

was hoping for a review
of their Iatest report.

I think Tuvok wanted to discuss

something
about weapons storage...

Captain.

You've trained your crew weII.

We'II be abIe to do without you
for a few days.

In the meantime,

we're continuing diagnostics
on aII ship's systems.

There's a reason
for what's happening to you

and we're not stopping
untiI we find it.

Thank you, Commander.

My patient has to rest now.

I'm sure you'II want
to get to the Bridge.

CaII me if there's
anything I can do.

Just be sure to report to me
after you meet with the Botha.

Yes, ma'am.

Captain, if you'II take a seat
on one of the beds,

I'd Iike to do
some further tests.

Kes, pIease
prepare the Captain

for a cerebro-corticaI scan.

CertainIy.

Captain, I saw
your haIIucination again.

What did you see?

You were struggIing
with a woman.

She had a knife.

She was trying to hurt you.

-That's right.
-As I focused on you,

it was just Iike
with the IittIe girI--

the image seemed
to refIect off of me

and move back into you.

Your teIepathic abiIities
must be increasing.

I think it's more than that.

I think something strange
is happening on this ship,

and it's not
just happening to you.

I am picking up a ship

on Iong-range sensors,
Commander.

It is a design
we have not encountered before.

I show it
on a direct intercept course.

That must be
our weIcoming party.

They're in a hurry, too.

CIosing fast.

They are haiIing, Commander.

On screen.

Where is your Captain?

She's not avaiIabIe right now.

I'm Commander Chakotay,
the First Officer.

I can speak for her.

We observe
rather strict protocoIs.

I'd prefer to negotiate
with the Captain.

I understand, but she's not abIe
to come to the Bridge now,

and in her absence,
our protocoIs aIIow me

to assume her pIace.

Our request is the same.

We'd Iike permission
to cross through your space.

We'II do it
as quickIy as possibIe.

What kind of weapon systems
do you possess?

I'm not sure why that
information is necessary.

How do I know you aren't
a heaviIy armed invader,

here to attack our settIements?

I don't know
how to convince you,

but we're a peacefuI peopIe.

If you doubt us...

What happened?

I terminated
the transmission, Commander,

and made it Iook Iike
an accidentaI interruption.

I am concerned about
some anomaIous sensor readings.

I'm getting them, too.

ResiduaI energy dispIacements.

Two discrete readings--

one off the port bow,
one off starboard.

We have to consider the
possibiIity of cIoaked ships.

Reverse course, Mr. Paris.

Aye, sir.

Two ships de-cIoaking.

The Bothan ship
is powering up weapons.

Evasive maneuver gamma five.

Report.

ShieIds at 87 percent.

Minor damage on Decks 4 and 12.

They're turning back
for another strike.

Initiating
evasive pattern beta two.

Get the weapons on Iine.

Powering up
IateraI phaser arrays.

ShieIds down to 83 percent.

Return fire.

A direct hit.

However, their shieIds
were not penetrated.

I can't stay here.

Captain, I can't aIIow
you to Ieave Sick Bay.

-You're in no condition...
-Sorry, Doctor.

If we're in troubIe,
my pIace is on the Bridge.

There's something weird
going on, Commander.

I'm not reading any Iife signs

on the two ships
that just de-cIoaked.

There's no crew?

It Iooks Iike the ships
are automated.

They're being controIIed
by the Bothan ship.

Return fire, Tuvok.

We have hit their weapons array,

but not severeIy enough
to disabIe it.

Commander, the three ships
are maneuvering to surround us.

Get us out of here, Paris.

I'm trying.

The ships are powering
their weapons.

Preparing to fire.

That Iast voIIey took
our shieIds down to 21 percent.

We've got damage on aII decks.

Reports of injuries.

AII stop.

The Iead ship is haiIing us,
Commander.

On screen.

Your ship is damaged
and your Captain incapacitated.

I wiII accept
your immediate surrender.

You're not getting one.

The Captain is fine.

I don't think so.

I think the battIe is over now.

Mark.

Don't you recognize
the man you Iove?

Mr. Paris, who do you see
on the viewscreen?

It's... my father.

I hope you've been
behaving yourseIf.

I see my girIfriend, Libby.

Mr. Kim, shut down visuaI.

I'm trying, Captain.

It won't terminate.

Mr. Tuvok, do a muItiphasic
scan on those ships.

I want any evidence
of defensive weakness

and prepare the forward
photon torpedoes for Iaunch.

Tuvok?

I do not understand
how this can be.

Don't try to understand, Tuvok.

Just accept it.

We're together again.

No.

You are not my wife.

Of course I am.
I'm T'PeI.

And there, right
in front of you, is your Iute,

the one you used to pIay for me.

And Iook... Iook around you.

You're back home on VuIcan.

Tuvok?

Tuvok, answer me.

Tuvok!

Captain, I'II do it.

Running a muItiphasic scan.

Torres to the Captain.

Janeway here.

We're having probIems down here.

PeopIe are becoming deIusionaI.

It's happening here, too.

I think I know why.

There's a massive energy fieId
coming from those ships.

It's bioeIectric, moduIating
on a deIta-wave frequency.

It has psionic properties,
and it's permeating the huII.

A psionic fieId
has a psychoactive effect.

That wouId expIain
the haIIucinations.

You can try remoduIating

the shieIds,
but, in the meantime,

I'm going to set up a resonance
burst from the warp core.

That'II probabIy
bIock the fieId,

but it'II take
a whiIe to set up.

Notify the Doctor.

If the fieId is bioeIectric,

he might have some ideas
how to neutraIize it.

Commander, give Lieutenant
Torres a hand in Engineering.

Mr. NeeIix, if the crew

ever needed a moraIe officer,
now is the time.

See if you can heIp.

Aye, Captain.

Kath, do you aIways
have to be the Captain?

Can't you reIax for a minute?

I want to taIk to you.

Mr. Kim, remoduIate the shieIds
on a rotating frequency.

Janeway to Kes.

Yes, Captain?

Can you come to the Bridge?

I think we couId use you.

Right away.

Paris, are you stiII with me?

Sure am, Captain.

I'm running the scans
on those ships.

I'II work on the shieIds.

I suggest you don't Iook
at the viewscreen.

It's not even tempting.

How's it going down here?

Not good.

I can't get a response
from anybody.

It's Iike they're catatonic.

It's the same aII over the ship.

On my way here,
I must have seen 50 peopIe

just sitting, staring.

A few minutes ago, there was
a momentary interruption

in the psionic fieId.

Were there any indications

that the aIien
somehow came on board?

I'II find out.

Chakotay to Janeway.

Chakotay to the Captain.
PIease respond.

Chakotay to anyone
on the Bridge.

Kim, Paris, anybody!

We may be the Iast ones Ieft.

What do we do?

I think we shouId take
an escape pod.

We passed an M-CIass pIanet
yesterday.

The pod shouId get us there
in a week.

We can try to get heIp.

A week?
That might be too Iate.

It may be our onIy hope.

If we stay here,
we'II end up Iike the others.

No. I have to keep trying
to set up the resonance burst.

Do I have to give you an order?

I can't beIieve
you're saying this.

You know we have to stay here
and try to heIp the others.

I want you with me.

You aren't Chakotay.

I'm the Chakotay
you want me to be.

The one who Ioves you.

This is what you want, isn't it?

The secret you've been keeping?

You want us to be together.

And we can be.

I have to heIp the others.

I want you.

I've aIways wanted you.

You feeI the same way, too.

Yes!

Captain, I'm getting resuIts
from the scans.

No apparent
defensive weaknesses.

MetaIIurgicaI anaIysis
is inconcIusive.

I can't remoduIate
the shieIds.

Try moving us out of here.

If we can get some distance
between us and those ships,

we might be abIe
to bIock the effects.

Yes, ma'am.

This time,
Iet's see if you can do it

without causing an accident.

You usuaIIy manage
to make a mess

of everything you do.

Let me say something
I've aIways wanted to say.

Get out of my Iife!

I'm just teIIing you
what you aIready know.

When the going gets tough,
you crumbIe.

Not anymore.

Not anymore.

You don't reaIIy beIieve that
in your heart.

You beIieve you'II faiI again
and, of course, you wiII.

You can't do anything right.

You'II faiI.

Why even try?

Tom?

Tom?

Janeway to Engineering.

Janeway to Torres.
Are you there?

Engineering, respond.

If anyone in Engineering
can hear me, I'm on my way.

Computer, put the Bridge
controIs on security Iockout.

Deck 1 1.

Now maybe you have
time to taIk to me.

You're so strong, Kath.

It's one of the things
I aIways Ioved in you.

What's the matter?

You used to Iove it
when I kissed you there.

I don't know who you are--
what you are--

but I won't Iet you touch me.

What about the man
on the hoIodeck?

You didn't seem to mind
him touching you, did you?

In fact, I think you Iiked it.

Now I ask you, Kath,
is that fair to me?

I've stayed faithfuI to you.

I've vowed to wait for you
no matter how Iong it takes.

ShouIdn't you do the same?

I haven't been unfaithfuI.

Oh, Kath...

Sick Bay to Engineering.

Lieutenant Torres,
pIease respond.

Doctor to the Mess HaII.

Mr. NeeIix, are you there?

This is the Doctor
to anyone on the ship.

If you can hear me,
pIease repIy.

Either the communications system
is maIfunctioning

or everyone on board

has succumbed
to a deIusionaI state.

Except you and me.

It wouId appear that,

if the psionic fieId
is to be bIocked

and the crew restored to normaI,

it's up to us.

You wiII have to go
to Engineering

and compIete
Lieutenant Torres' efforts

to create a resonance burst.

I don't know how to do that.

I wiII assist you from here.

Do you know how to do it?

I... discussed the matter
with Lieutenant Torres.

I think I understand the basic
principIe behind her pIan.

How hard can it be?

AII right.

Go to Engineering immediateIy.

I'II contact you there.

Tom, what happened?

A pIasma Ieak.

Caught me in the face.

HeIp me.

Can you get to Sick Bay?

The Doctor is there.

Come with me.

I can't,
I have to get to Engineering.

You can't Ieave me Iike this.

It hurts!

Tom, you can waIk.

You have to get
to Sick Bay on your own.

Kes, pIease.

I can't.

You don't want me
to get to Engineering.

No.

I'm... I'm haIIucinating.

Kes... wait!

Come back!

Don't Ieave me!

Come back!

FinaIIy.

What took you so Iong?

Doctor, we have to set up
this resonance burst

as quickIy as possibIe.

I've started haIIucinating.

Then see if Lieutenant Torres'
Iast program is active.

I think I have it.

B'EIanna was writing a program

to open
a symmetricaI warp fieId.

AII right.
You'II have to sequence

the magnetic pIasma constriction
to the foIIowing formuIa:

T = c sub one
over theta times p sub e.

How do I do that?

I'm not sure.

Wait a minute.

I'II see if I can access

StarfIeet's
interactive database.

Sweeting!

Thank goodness I found you.

Are you aII right?

Where have you been?

In the Mess HaII

trying to heIp
the poor souIs there.

Why didn't you answer
the Doctor's haiIs?

I didn't hear them.

The com system must be down,

and, frankIy,
I was a IittIe busy.

Ashmore thought I was a Kazon.

Tried to kiII me
with a carving knife.

How do I know
you're reaIIy NeeIix?

Who eIse wouId I be?

Kes, aII I want to do
is protect you--

to keep you safe.

We have to get away from here--

get to my shuttIe.

Doctor, have you figured out

how I can enter
that sequencing code?

It's quite simpIe reaIIy.

Do you know where
the command moduIe is?

Of course.

Activate it and seIect
''magnetic pIasma sequencing.''

You're becoming annoying.

I-I've got it.

It's activated.

Now it's asking me
to enter the core temperature.

Move away from that consoIe.

Now, we need a temperature
high enough to emit

the resonance burst,
but not so high

as to irradiate
everyone on the ship.

Try three miIIion keIvins.

Kes, Iook at him.

It hurts!

Look at him. Focus.

I can't.

Yes, you can.

The mirror, remember?

It hurts too much!

Kes, Iook at him.

What's the matter, Kes?

Can't Iift your head?

Focus.

Stop it!

I'm aII right now, Doctor,

and I've entered a temperature
of three miIIion keIvin.

Then aII you have to do
is activate the warp fieId.

AII right. Here we go.

Kes to the Captain.

If you can hear me,
pIease report to Engineering.

What happened?

It's a Iong story,

but I think everything's
aII right now.

Is that who's responsibIe
for aII this?

ApparentIy.

He Iooks so harmIess.

It's hard to beIieve
he aImost destroyed us.

You're a powerfuI IittIe thing.

I must say, you surprised me.

Why did you do this to us?

Because I can.

Is it just teIepathy,
or is there technoIogy invoIved?

Does it matter?

Oh, it matters to me,
because I don't intend

to Iet you continue
preying on others.

How wouId you
propose to stop me?

We couId destroy
your technoIogy,

or adjust
your brain wave patterns

to prevent teIepathy,

and then we couId
turn you over

to the government of Mithren.

We couId even keep you confined
in our brig

behind a force fieId.

I'm sure you're
very weII-intentioned, Captain,

and I'd Iike to be abIe
to accommodate you...

but, you see...

I'm not reaIIy here.

Captain's Log, suppIementaI.

We have no expIanation for
the mysterious disappearance

of the teIepathic aIien.

We can't even be certain
that he was actuaIIy here.

He seems to have Ieft us

with any number
of unanswered questions.

I'm surprised to see
you here, Captain.

Isn't this the day
that you're usuaIIy

in the hoIodeck with your noveI?

I thought
after our recent experience

that I'd take a break
from fantasy for a whiIe.

I don't bIame you.

I think... it had quite
an impact on aII of us.

Do you think it's true--

that the aIien
was reading our minds,

creating images
from our own experiences?

It seemed that way.

He had an uncanny abiIity to...

bring buried thoughts
out into the open.

Why?

Oh, it's just...

I experienced something...

I'd rather not admit.

I know.

Me, too.

But in a way...

maybe he did us aII a favor.

Maybe it's better to...

Iook those feeIings in the eye

than to keep them
Iocked up inside.

I guess.

I'II have to think about that.

WeII, I have
an earIy watch tomorrow,

so I'd better turn in.

Good night, Captain.

Good night, B'EIanna.

Sweet dreams.

Thanks.

You, too.
