Stardate 53263.2 During negotiations with the Kesat government, Tuvok (Tim Russ) is zapped by a powerful energy force, suffers severe neurological trauma and emerges as a mere shell of his former self. Meanwhile Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) searches for the mythical species responsible for the attack in hopes of finding a cure. While the optimistic Neelix (Ethan Phillips) keeps pushing to restore the mental prowess of the confused Tuvok, Janeway works with Naroq (Mark Moses), a Kesat inspector, as they try to solve the enigma of the cloaking device used by the hostile Ba'Neth -- or "shadow people" --who seek Voyager's technical data. Even as the crew pursues the elusive Ba'Neth for a solution to Tuvok's misfortune, the suddenly vulnerable Vulcan discovers emotions he never could appreciate before. |

Stardate 53292.7 Voyager is nearly consumed by a massive rolling ball of energy but curiosity about the rare phenomenon prompts Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) to launch a probe to investigate and search for a missing 300-year-old U.S. spacecraft trapped inside-a risky maneuver that may cost the lives of the shuttle crew. As Voyager shadows the powerful anomaly known as the Graviton Ellipse, Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) reluctantly joins a fascinated Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and Chakotay (Robert Beltran) on the shuttle as they look for the legendary Ares Four, the command module from an early manned mission to Mars. However, once found, the attempt to retrieve the craft and its noble dead pilot proves treacherous, and the small crew must improvise if they are to return at all before the ellipse disappears again into lethal subspace. |
