Ten months ago, the crew
of Voyager was pulled

into the Delta Quadrant by an
entity known as the Caretaker.

Not enough time!

When he died, Voyager's
best chance of getting home

died with him, but he revealed
one hopeful possibility.

There is another like me.

She left hundreds of years ago,

but she's out there, somewhere.

Open yourself
to the impressions around you--

the thoughts...

the minds that are on this ship.

What do you hear?

Voices.

So many voices.

l believe you are sensing

the thoughts of various
crew members on board.

What should l do?

See if you can isolate
one of the voices.

lmagine you are
listening to a symphony

and focusing
on a single instrument.

lt's working.

Try to maintain
your emotional equanimity.

You should not be concerned
with success or failure.

Uh-oh.

He's taking off too much.

l told him just a few
millimeters off the top.

Way too much now.

Don't touch the sideburns.

lt's Neelix!

l can hear Neelix's thoughts.

That is not unexpected.

You have an emotional
attachment to him

which may have
drawn your focus.

My scalp itches.

Maybe l should tell him
about that shampoo of his.

l think he's getting a haircut.

Oh, no! He's trimming
the ear hairs.

l told him the ear hairs
are the perfect length.

Not the ear hairs!

lf you are to succeed

in honing
your telepathic abilities,

you must learn to control
these emotional outbursts.

Outburst?

lt was a giggle.

Tomorrow, l will teach you
a Vulcan mind-control technique

that will help you
inhibit your giggles.

Thanks, Tuvok.

You may go.

You're late.

Sorry. My lesson
with Lieutenant Tuvok

went a little long today.

Today, yesterday
and the day before.

You'd think a Vulcan would be
more attuned to punctuality.

l'll try to keep a closer eye
on the time from now on.

So, how was school today?

Wonderful. Tuvok helped me
with a sensory focus exercise,

we worked
on my precognitive skills,

and l learned how to self-induce
a hypergogic mental state.

Sounds stimulating.

He says l'm making
excellent progress.

l had no doubt that you would,
but l'd appreciate it

if you wouldn't let
these... mind studies

interfere with your...

What's that?

l don't know.

Life-signs?

Apparently so.

But before l could analyze them,

the life-signs simply ceased.

l'm scanning the remains on
all biospectral frequencies.

lt's completely inert.
Dead.

Somehow, l find it
hard to believe

this rock suddenly came to life
for several seconds.

l concur.

However, dead or alive,

these are the remains
of an alien entity

we never fully understood.

lt may be prudent to place it

in a level-3 biohazard
containment field.

Agreed-- but first,
l want to take a look at...

l'm picking up life-signs.

They're sporocystian.

The Caretaker was
a sporocystian life-form.

But, according to my readings,

the life signs aren't coming
from the remains.

The remains
are simply resonating

in response
to an external energy source--

some other life-form.

Where?

Let's find out.

Janeway to Bridge.

Mr. Kim, begin scans
for a sporocystian life-form.

Aye, Captain. Stand by.

l've got it, Captain.

A sporocystian energy burst

approximately
ten light-years distant.

But l can't get a precise fix
on its location.

The life-signs are gone.

These remains
could be responding

to the Caretaker's mate.

lf that's true, maybe we could
use them to track her down.

And if we can find her,
she might have

the ability to send us home.

Torres to Janeway.

Go ahead.

We've placed the remains

in a hexiprismatic field,
Captain.

The next time it responds to
sporocystian energy, the field

should give us a heading
to the source.

You're using the remains
like a compass.

Exactly.

Good work.

Keep us apprised.

Janeway out.

Captain, the Caretaker
was a being

of considerable power,

and although his intent
was not hostile,

we were essentially
at his mercy.

l do not care to repeat
that experience.

And if we are
about to meet his mate,

you'd like it to be
on more even ground.

Precisely.

l have studied the Doctor's

biochemical analysis
of the Caretaker remains,

and l believe it is possible
to create a sporocystian toxin--

something which might
debilitate the life-form.

Sounds like
a sensible precaution.

Get on it.

l'm picking up
sporocystian energy.

Chakotay to Engineering.

We're picking up life-signs.

ls your compass working?

Stand by.

Activate the field.

l can't get a bearing
on the source.

Try increasing
the spatial resolution.

Spatial resolution at maximum.

The life-signs are fading,
and l still can't get

a lock on the coordinates.

Boosting the signal gain.

We've got it, Captain.

Bearing 272 mark 19.

Acknowledged.

Mr. Paris, set a course
and engage at maximum warp.

Aye, Captain.

Captain, we're picking up
an artificial structure

on long-range sensors.

lt appears to be
a space station of some kind.

Slow to impulse
and put it on screen.

That looks a lot like
the Caretaker's Array.

The configuration is similar.

So is the surface composition,

but it's only
about one-tenth the size.

Are there any sporocystian
life-forms on board?

No, but l am picking up over
2,000 carbon-based life-forms.

They appear to be...

Wait a second.

Confirming.

Captain...

they're Ocampa.

We're approaching
the station, Captain.

All stop.

Hail them, Mr. Tuvok.

No response.

l am reading an energy surge
from the station--

possibly weapons.

Shields.

Definitely weapons.

Shields are holding.

lncoming message from the Array.

Let's hear it.

You're not wanted here.

We pose no threat to you.

l'm Captain Kathryn
Janeway of the...

You have been warned!

They are Ocampa?

That's right.

There appears to be
an entire colony.

And, according to our sensors,

the station is
at least 300 years old.

Kes, is there any Ocampa history

about people
who left your planet

or were captured by aliens
and taken away?

No.

The idea
that there could be Ocampa

anywhere but on the homeworld

is something
no one ever considered.

l thought l was the only one.

Since you're definitely
the only one on Voyager,

l want you to act
as an intermediary.

Gladly.

What should l do?

The first step
is to arrange a meeting.

Let's see
if we can get that far.

Hail the Array.

This is becoming tiresome,
Captain.

lf you force us to take
further aggressive action...

l have someone here
who wishes to speak with you.

My name is Kes.

l'm an Ocampa.

This is some kind of trick.

l assure you it's not a trick.

What would an Ocampa be doing
on an alien starship?

lt's a long story.

But l'd like to know
what an Ocampa is doing

on an alien space station.

That is also a long story.

Then l suggest we meet
and tell each other our stories.

May we come aboard
your station?

No, but l am willing
to come to your ship.

Our readings identified

a sporocystian life-form
in this area.

We've been looking for
that life-form for months.

Why? To destroy it?

No.

On the contrary, we believe
it has the technology

that could send us home.

Captain, are you aware
of how your ship is regarded?

That when Voyager appears,
people fear destruction?

Your ship is known
as a ship of death.

What?

You've established
quite a reputation.

You killed the Caretaker,

declared war on the Kazon,
raided planets

for their resources.

None of that is true.

We've never attacked anyone
except in self-defense.

And we did not
kill the Caretaker.

He died of natural causes.

Mr. Tanis, please
try to understand,

we only want to find the entity
we've been looking for.

I want to taIk to you aIone.

Our sensors tell us she's
somewhere in this region.

Can you help us find her?

Captain, l'd like to speak
to Tanis alone, if l may.

Very well.

Why should l believe
any of this?

These are kind people, Tanis.

They saved my life,
at great risk to themselves,

when they didn't have to.

They wouldn't lie to you.

l will admit, these people
are hardly what l expected.

But more unexpected
was finding you here, Kes.

l had no idea any Ocampa had
left the homeworld so recently.

l have about a thousand
questions to ask you.

l know, and l'm going
to try to answer them.

ls this where you
spend your time?

You mean in this room?

No.

This is where the Bridge
officers usually meet.

l want to see where you live.

l want to see the place
that is special to you.

You did all this?

l had a little help,
but, yes, most of it is my work.

Well, you've done well--

bringing something so beautiful
into a place so sterile.

Sterile.

Voyager?.

Look around you, Kes.

This is a cold and barren place.

There are
over 150 people on board.

l'd hardly call that barren.

There are people,
but there's so little life.

Part of me weeps
to see you in this place.

You're so isolated.

Corridors, bulkheads...

all cutting you off
from the world around you.

You live on a space station.

How is it any different?

l assure you,
it's very different.

You're very young, aren't you?

Two years.

Would it surprise you
to know that l'm 14 years old?

That's not possible.

The oldest Ocampa
only lived to be nine.

You know so little
about your own people.

There's so much for you
to learn about yourself...

about the galaxy.

Being here on this ship
is holding you back.

These people are helping me.

l'm a member of the crew.

l suppose
we were like you once--

innocent, naive.

But when Suspiria
brought us here 300 years ago,

she began to teach us
how we could become stronger

than we ever could've
on the homeworld.

Suspiria... is that
your Caretaker?

We don't think of her
as a Caretaker.

Her species is actually
called the Nacene.

Then you do know her.

Where is she?

Nearby.

But she's so different
from the entity you knew.

He was only interested
in maintaining the status quo.

He kept our people
servile and weak.

Suspiria taught us to develop
our psychokinetic skills

that had lain dormant
for so long.

We have abilities far beyond
anything you can imagine.

Like what?

We can enhance Iife.

And that's onIy
the beginning, Kes.

I have to return
to the station.

We'II taIk again.

Sounds like you've established
a dialogue with Tanis.

lt's an excellent beginning.

Good work.

Thank you, Captain.

Kes...

is there something wrong?

Not exactly.

l'm just a little overwhelmed.

l always believed that
my people had the potential

to be more than what they were--

that our mental abilities
could be somehow heightened--

and now l've met someone
who's realized that potential

and l don't know whether
to be excited or frightened.

A nonemotional response
would be more useful.

But since you're not a Vulcan,

l'd say a mixture
of the two emotions

would be appropriate.

lt's an exciting moment, Kes,
and l'm very happy for you.

But just remember,

we know very little
about these Ocampa.

Be cautious in your dealings
with Tanis.

l will.

But l just have
a good feeling about him.

I've met with the Ocampa girI.

She has potentiaI.

I don't care about the girI.

She's yours.

Bring me the ship.

This is delicious!

Mr. Tanis, is it true
you're 14 years old?

Yes. That's quite common
with my people here.

Suspiria helped us
develop a technology

to extend the Ocampa life span
three generations ago.

My father lived to be 20 years.

Would that technology
work for Kes?

Possibly.

Where does Suspiria live?

On another Array?

Oh, nothing
so corporeal as that.

She exists as pure
sporocystian energy.

She only assumes physical form

when we need
to communicate with her.

Does she occupy
our space-time continuum?

l don't know.

All l know is, when we
need her, she comes.

l'll take you
to the meeting place.

l'm sure all your questions
will be answered then.

You'll enjoy meeting her, Kes,

as well
as the other Ocampa here.

l'd love to visit the station.

Visit? Why not stay with us?

Stay?

Yes. l think you could

learn a lot from us,
we from you.

We haven't been in contact
with the Ocampa homeworld

for hundreds of years.

We'd be fascinated to hear
about our distant cousins.

That sounds wonderful,
but, uh...

Kes, you certainly
don't have to decide

something this important
right now.

Give it some thought.

She's absolutely right.
There's no rush.

l appreciate that.

l am curious
about your mental abilities.

They're so much greater
than mine.

Do not underestimate
your own potential, Kes.

Your mental abilities
are rapidly maturing.

l might be able to help you.

No offense to Mr. Tuvok,

but l am more familiar
with the Ocampa mind.

l would appreciate any insight
you could give me.

Oh, good.
Maybe later this evening.

lt is a highly reactive
sporocystian toxin.

l ran a micro-cellular
analysis

of the Caretaker's remains,
and discovered a critical enzyme

in his cellular structure.

The energy in this cylinder

is formulated to break
down that enzyme.

lt would result
in temporary paralysis.

Mr. Tanis says she's harmless.

lt is my hope
that we only have to use it

as a precautionary measure.

Very well. Proceed.

ln your mind,
visualize your hand.

Now reach out with that hand

and grab the teacup.

Reach out
with the fingers of your mind.

Grasp it.

Do you have it?

l can feel the handle

and the texture of the metal,
but l can't move it.

Don't try to move it.

Just take a drink from it.

See?

You can do it.

l don't understand.
l didn't try to move it.

No. You just tried to drink
from it.

And what would you do
if you wanted to take a drink?

l'd reach out and pick it up.

That's right.

But you wouldn't be thinking
about picking it up.

You'd simply do it.

And that's
what you just learned.

Focus on the goal, not the task.

When you wanted the tea,
it came to you.

Uh, excuse me...

We're not finished.

l know you're tired,

but l want you to try
one more thing.

lt's cold.

Wouldn't it taste better
if it were hot?

See past the liquid.

Not with your eyes,
with your mind.

What your eyes show you
is only the surface of reality.

Look deeper.

There is no liquid.

There is no cup.

There's only a collection
of molecules and atoms,

moving, vibrating...

I see them.

They're bareIy moving.

That's because they're coId.

How wouId you heat them up?

With... a fire.

That's right--

with the fire of your mind.

How do I do that?

Focus on the goaI,
not the task.

Don't think about creating
the fire, just use it.

l see it now.

lt's so simple.

That's right.

But that's enough for tonight.

Tomorrow, l'll take you
to the next level.

Until then, good night.

May l say something now?

Of course, Neelix.

l'm so proud of you.

l knew you could do it.

This is a whole new
beginning for you, Kes.

l know, l know.

What if l did go?

Go?

To the Ocampa Array.

lf l decided to live with Tanis
and the others...

would you go with me?

l'd go anywhere with you.

Captain's Log, supplemental.

We've arrived at what Tanis
calls ''the meeting place''--

the region of space
where Suspiria exists.

Nothing on sensors, Captain.

Captain, may l access
your communications equipment?

Of course.

l've sent out
a subspace carrier wave.

Suspiria should respond
within the next 47 hours.

l'll be in my quarters.

We'll let you know when
she makes her appearance.

That won't be necessary.

l'll know when she's here.

Tanis has shown me
the next level.

The psychokinetic
manipulation of matter.

That is a large step
for someone

whose mental abilities
are still undisciplined.

Nevertheless, l am intrigued.

May l?

Please.

He showed me how to use
the fire in my mind.

Fascinating.

However, l would advise caution
in exploring this ability

until you have mastered the...

I have to stop the fire.

How do I stop the fire?!

Tuvok... Tuvok,
can you teII me what to do?!

Tuvok!

No!

Lieutenant, can you hear me?

What happened?

Your cell membranes

went through
hyperthermal induction.

The temperature of your blood

rose by 37 degrees
in a matter of seconds.

You were in shock,
and l resuscitated you.

l'm restricting you
to light duty

for the next three days.

Try and get some rest.

That will not be necessary,
Doctor.

My Vulcan healing techniques
do not require

an extended period
of convalescence.

Vulcans make the worst patients.

Fine, but if you're feeling
any nausea or dizziness,

l'm expecting you
to report to Sick Bay at once.

Of course.

Tuvok, l'm sor...

You are probably
feeling the emotion

known as remorse,
possibly guilt.

l advise you to look
on this incident

as a learning experience.

lt's not that easy.

l almost killed you.

That is correct,
but you did not.

Try to remember that.

l will see you tomorrow
at 1500 hours,

assuming you wish to continue
your training.

You still want to teach me?

lf this experience
proves anything,

it is that you need
further instruction,

and l would regret

not continuing
as your instructor.

Thanks, Tuvok.

How's the Vulcan?

ls he going to recover?

You heard?

ln a manner of speaking.

l was aware of what happened.

He's going to be all right,
no thanks to me.

Tanis, l've been thinking--

l don't know
if l'm ready for this.

What's wrong?

lf l can't control my abilities,

there might be another accident.

l'm afraid it isn't going
to get any easier, Kes.

You're already starting
to manifest abilities

far beyond anything
you've ever imagined.

Soon you'll be so far

beyond the other beings
on this ship

that you'll look at them
as they look at... pets.

They're not pets.

They're people.

They're my friends.

And l'm sure you care
for them very much.

l'm sure
they're wonderful people,

and they certainly seem
that way to me, but...

it's time that you began
to accept how different

you are from them.

The people on this ship--
they live their lives

trapped inside
their primitive skulls,

depending on flesh and bone

to tell them
what the universe is like.

They don't know what it is
to see beyond the physical.

Touch it.

This is how they
know their universe.

They touch the flower,
their nerve impulses

travel up their arm
to the brain,

and in their mind, they sense
the moisture of the petals,

the texture of the leaves,
the sharpness of the thorns,

and they think they know
what it feels like,

but they don't.

Now touch it.

Reach out with your thoughts.

Feel it for the very first time.

Think of nothing but the flower.

lt's the only object
in the universe.

Know it.

Know it in a way
only an Ocampa can.

Can you see it?

Yes.

lt's more than seeing.

lt's more than touching.

l know this flower.

You can do more.

Reach out.

Feel all the life in this room.

Yes, l can feel it.

l know them all.

They're so beautiful.

lt can be more beautiful.

Bring the fire.

How did it feel?

They're dead.

They're all dead.

Amazing.

You felt life.

You embraced its essence
with your mind

and then you transformed it.

There's nothing else
like it in the universe.

l killed those plants...

just like l almost killed Tuvok.

But l don't want
to hurt anybody.

Of course you don't.

That's not the point.

Hurt people, help them,
give life, kill--

it's all the same.

Once you see
beyond the physical,

you see the universe
as it truly is.

Now you know why you can't stay
with these people--

why you have to come with me.

Come back to the station.

We'll care for you.

We'll train you.

Oh, l don't know.

l still need some more time
to think about it.

Take all the time you want.

But when you meet Suspiria,

l think you'll decide
to join us.

Why?

Because Suspiria is your future.

She's part of us,
and we're a part of her.

All the Ocampa here
are connected in a way

that can't be put into
words, and if you develop

your abilities far enough,

Suspiria will invite you
to go with her to Exosia.

Exosia?

A place the humanoids
on this ship call

''a subspace layer,''
a place of pure thought,

pure energy,
a place of the mind.

Think about it, Kes.

When you're ready,
Suspiria will embrace you.

Good night.

Torres to Bridge.

The Caretaker's remains
are resonating again.

lt's definitely reacting
to a sporocystian life-form,

and from what l can tell,

that life-form
is right on top of us.

Acknowledged.

Captain...

there's a subspace rupture
forming directly ahead.

Yellow Alert.

Janeway to Tanis.

Will you please
come to the Bridge?

l believe we've made contact
with Suspiria.

l know. l'm on my way.

l think we should run
a biospectral analysis.

Some of these readings
are pretty strange.

And get me the sensor logs on
that subspace rupture out there.

Captain, l'm picking up some
strange readings in Engineering.

Some kind of plasmatic
energy field is forming.

Janeway to Torres.

We're picking up some odd
plasmatic readings down there.

Can you confirm?

Janeway to Torres.

Security, meet me
in Main Engineering.

Aye, sir.

lt's time to go.

Go... where?

Back to the Ocampa station.

Everyone's waiting for you, Kes.

The connection has been made.

You're part of us now.

Your future has already begun.

Tuvok to Bridge.

Go ahead.

l believe the female Caretaker
is here.

Commander, you have the Bridge.

Can't you feel the connection?

Your people are calling to you.

Listen to them.

Yes.

l can hear them.

All of them.

And can you hear Suspiria?

Tuvok?

Who are you?

Suspiria.

l've been looking forward
to meeting you.

Why?

Because l had the opportunity
to talk to your companion

before he died.

Yes, l know.

l can feel her presence.

She's powerful...

turbulent.

She's upset.

She's angry!

Kes...

She wants to destroy the ship!

Kes, listen to me.

There's nothing to worry about.

Am l interrupting?

He told us that you were curious

and went off to explore
the galaxy.

We're explorers, too,

but your friend brought us to
this Quadrant against our will,

and we haven't been able
to find a way back.

ls that why you killed him?

We didn't kill him.

You destroyed the Array

and you took his remains.

-l assure you...
-No!

You killed him.

And now, l will kill you.

Now you will know what frail,
small creatures you truly are.

What's going on?

l don't know.

lt's like the entire molecular
structure of the ship

is coming apart.

Red Alert.

Bridge to Janeway.

Bridge to Janeway.

We're losing hull integrity.

lncrease power
to structural reinforcement.

Aye, sir.

Forget these people.
You're beyond them.

No.

Leave her alone, Tanis.

Remember how you felt
in the airponics bay?

You've never felt that way
in your entire life, have you?

Get away from me.

That was only the beginning,
Kes.

l said leave her alone!

Neelix!

Leave him!
Leave him, Kes!

He's nothing compared to you.

Nothing!

You have to trust.

Oh, Neelix.

Suspiria...

So, now you kill me
as you did my mate.

No. l told you
we didn't kill him.

Please try to understand.

We don't want to hurt you.

We don't want to hurt anyone.

We just want to get home.

Tuvok, release the force field.

Captain...

Do it.

You'd show me mercy
after what l did to you?

Yes, l would.

Take me with you... please.

lt appears she has descended
into subspace.

Can you track her position?

Negative.

The rupture has been sealed.

She is gone, Captain.

Captain's Log, supplemental.

We've resumed our course
back to the Alpha Quadrant,

but the female Caretaker
is still out there

with the power to send us home.

And l will use all my power
to find her

and convince her
to do just that.

l looked at the tea

and l tried to make it boil,
but nothing happened.

Without Tanis' help,
l just can't do it.

Nevertheless,

your psychokinetic abilities
are still part of you.

They might resurface one day.

To be honest, l never want to
see that part of myself again.

To which part are you referring?

To the part of me

that got pleasure
from destroying those plants

in the airponics bay.

To the part of me that was
tempted to go with Tanis.

l never realized l had
such dark impulses.

Without the darkness,

how would we recognize
the light?

Do not fear
your negative thoughts.

They are part of you.

They are a part
of every living being.

Even Vulcans.

You?

The Vulcan heart was forged
out of barbarism and violence.

We learned to control it.

But it is still part of us.

To pretend it does not exist

is to create an opportunity
for it to escape.

Let us begin.

Open yourself

to the impressions around you--

the thoughts, the minds
that are on this ship.
