Changes: Grendel

Revision as of 22:47, 22 May 2007

Grendel is a water monster from the Beowulf epic. It terrorized King Hrothgar's hall until Beowulf eventually killed it.

In 2371 when Voyager came across a protostar, Captain Kathryn Janeway had samples of photonic matter beamed aboard for study. In fact, Voyager had inadvertantly captured photonic lifeforms native to star. As a result, the others of their kind manifested in the Beowulf holodeck program, which was running at the time, as Grendel.

"Grendel" then proceeded to abduct Harry Kim, Chakotay, and Tuvok in retaliation, converting them to energy and storing them in their photonic lattice. They were returned after the Doctor offered Grendel the remaining photonic matter that Voyager had collected. (VOY: "Heroes and Demons")

One of the [[photonic beings]] escaped through a field breach and took the form of Grendel in the ''Beowulf'' [[holoprogram]] that [[Harry Kim]] was running in ''Voyager'''s [[holodeck]]. It converted him into pure energy. It also did the same to [[Tuvok]] and [[Chakotay]], who went looking for Kim. When Janeway realized what happened, she sent [[the Doctor]] to the holodeck with the photonic energy aliens and he freed them. Grendel released the three crewmembers. ({{VOY|Heroes and Demons}})
