The 8472 Gentry replicant, just before committing suicide

David Gentry, serial number 99B3278, was a Starfleet security ensign during the 2370s, who was born on Earth.

In 2375, his identity was assumed by a member of Species 8472 when this species constructed a recreation of the Starfleet Command complex in preparation for an infiltration and possible invasion of the Earth. The replicant accosted Chakotay and Tuvok on the grounds of the re-created complex, telling them as they had entered a restricted area. Chakotay and Tuvok were there investigating the re-creation. He was stunned by Tuvok using a Vulcan nerve pinch and taken aboard the USS Voyager. Here he at first thought this were a simulation to test him, but soon realized it was quite real and he had been captured. When the Doctor, Voyager's holographic Chief Medical Officer, attempted to take a genetic sample from him to uncover the identity of his species, he committed suicide by releasing a cellular toxin into his own bloodstream. Later the Doctor succeeded in uncovering his species identity by using a cytokinetic injection to trigger a reversion to his corpse's true form. (VOY: "In the Flesh")
