[[The Doctor]] finds that Tabor is [[coma]]tose and has [[microfracture]]s in his [[skull]], though he cannot find a cause. [[Captain]] [[Kathryn Janeway|Janeway]] assigns [[Tuvok]] to lead an investigation into the matter. Tuvok enters Tabors' quarters, where he finds [[Jor]], a friend of Tabor's. She claims that she is there to retrieve a [[book]] to read aloud to Tabor. She had heard that that is good for comatose patients.

Meanwhile Tuvok is continuing his investigation trying to find out whether or not the latest datastream has anything to do with the attacks. He calls in Harry, who thinks he wants an update on the holodeck scans. However Tuvok wants to talk about Harry's latest letter, because of the 28 people who received a letter only 6 match the physical parameters of the photon displacement, including Harry. Tuvok refers to the fact that one of Harry's friends was killed by the Maquis. Harry sarcastically confesses to having used his captain proton comatizer to shoot it at any Maquis he could find. But then he tells Tuvok he knew this friend had died (probably through a letter in one of the previous data streams) and that he had come to accept this, holding no grudges. This answer baffled Tuvok, who then expresses the notion that this investigation defies logic. The Doctor interrupts the investigation, calling Tuvok because Tabor has regained consciousness. However Tabor is not able to recall who attacked him.

Tuvok is investigating the latest attacks. He apparently has no recollection of his part in it. Janeway meets him and tells that Yosa and Jor have regained consciousness, apparently with no lingering effects. Again referring to the fact that it makes no sense. Tuvok reminds her that it's still a pattern and that it implies purpose. However this assailant has outwitted Tuvok each time. Tuvok feels his presence, as if the assailant is challenging Tuvok to find him. Janeway sends him to his quarters to get some rest since he has been on his feet for 3 days.

Then Tuvok runs to Holodeck where Harry and Janeway are still trying to enhance the image of the assailant. Tuvok asks the computer to isolate the exact time of that image and then to tell where Tuvok was at that time. After lifting the restriction on that information it seems Tuvok was in Holodeck 2. As he turns to tell Janeway what is going on he sees the same Bajoran standing behind Harry and Janeway and it seems only Tuvok can see him. Tuvok states that he believes he is the attacker and tells Janeway to put him in the [[brig]] immediately.

With Janeway's help, Tuvok discovers that a [[Bajor|Bajoran]], who only Tuvok can see, is controlling him. [[Seven of Nine]] finds a message from the Bajoran, named [[Teero Anaydis]], hidden in a recent letter from Tuvok's son [[Sek]].

Janeway meets with Chakotay, who has woken up after 29 hours in a coma, just after Torres. Together they go to astrometrics to meet [[Seven of Nine]]. Seven has found a message from the Bajoran, named [[Teero Anaydis]], hidden in a recent letter from Tuvok's son [[Sek]]. Chakotay tells them that Teero was a fanatical Bajoran [[vedek]] who the Maquis refused to work with because of his unethical methods.
   
 
With this further information Tuvok is able to remember that Teero had kidnapped Tuvok years before when Tuvok was working undercover for the [[Federation]] in the Maquis, and had implanted something in his mind. Apparently, the hidden message triggered it.

But Tuvok is not successful at counteracting Teero's influence. Tuvok activates his [[combadge]] and transmits to Chakotay the words, "''Pagh t'em far, B'tanay.''" Chakotay responds, "Understood." He goes to sickbay and repeats the Bajoran phrase to Torres, who replies, "I understand."

Then Tuvok has another flashback. He is restrained. With Janeway's help he manages to reconstruct this memory. Teero knows he is Starfleet, however he doesn't want to expose him. He wants to use him. But Tuvok is not successful at counteracting Teero's influence. Tuvok activates his [[combadge]] and transmits to Chakotay the words, "''Pagh t'em far, B'tanay.''" Chakotay responds, "''Understood.''" Tuvok tells Janeway that it means time of awakening, but he doesn't know what that means and what he or the former Maquis are supposed to do.

Meanwhile The Doctor notices a change in Chakotay's cortical monitor as he walks in to sickbay. Chakotay immediately deactivates The Doctor and stuns Paris with a phaser blast. Then he repeats the Bajoran phrase to Torres, who replies, "''I understand.''"

Chakotay, now in command, finds a [[Class M]] [[planet]] on which to deposit the Starfleet personnel. But he has one problem to deal with first. Tuvok seems to be under Teero's control, but Tuvok has betrayed Chakotay before. Chakotay devises a test. He has Janeway brought to the [[ready room]] and gives Tuvok a [[phaser]], set on kill.

Teero's control of the remaining Maquis is undone and Janeway assumes command again. Back in the holographic theater, Janeway asks Tuvok how he was sure that the phaser was out of commission. Tuvok replies that since Chakotay didn't trust him, he wouldn't have given Tuvok a working phaser. Janeway is thankful that Tuvok's hunches are usually correct and they begin to watch the 3-D movie.

Template:Realworld

Tuvok investigates a series of assaults that are apparently targeted at the former Maquis aboard Voyager.

Summary

Teaser

File:Val jean.jpg

Bajoran's computer display

A Bajoran man is performing an incantation while looking at the schematics of Voyager and looking through its crew manifest, scrolling through the profiles of the former crew of the Val Jean.

Act One

Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres are settling down in a holodeck recreation of a 20th century Earth movie theater. The movie will be Revenge of the Creature, in 3D. Torres questions the purpose of using a three-dimensional simulation of a two-dimensional medium that simulates 3D. A holographic character shushes them and Paris deletes the audience. They discover that one audience member remains. When they investigate, they discover an unconscious Tabor, who is a friend of Paris's.

The Doctor finds that Tabor is comatose and has microfractures in his skull, though he cannot find a cause. Captain Janeway assigns Tuvok to lead an investigation into the matter. Tuvok enters Tabors' quarters, where he finds Jor, a friend of Tabor's. She claims that she is there to retrieve a book to read aloud to Tabor. She had heard that that is good for comatose patients.

In a meeting, Tuvok declares Jor a suspect, but in any case is sure that the assailant is a USS Voyager crewmember, but he cannot explain why he is so confident about that. Janeway says that she can think of several other possibilities. Tuvok says that he just has a hunch.

Crewman Yosa is investigating a Jefferies tube off engineering, where Jor was stationed, when an unseen person, hiding behind a bright light, attacks him. Later, The Doctor finds that Yosa was attacked in the same way as Tabor, and is now also comatose. Shortly thereafter, Jor herself is attacked and falls into a coma. Janeway and Chakotay note that all the victims are ex-Maquis.

Act Two

Maquis meet in messhall

Former Val Jean personnel meet in the mess hall

Chakotay assembles all the remaining Maquis crew and tells them to carry phasers at all times and to only circulate through the ship in pairs. Some of the crew suspect foul play from Starfleet, possibly having to do with the latest data stream from the Alpha Quadrant, which was received shortly before the attacks began.

Harry and Tom are on the holodeck to find out through scanning for negative photon displacement who was on the holodeck with Tabor to find the possible assailant. However all they can get is a vague outline. Tuvok, who is observing them and initially skeptical, however is showing some concern.

Chell is walking with Torres through the corridors and expresses his concern thinking that Starfleet is somehow bent on eliminating the former Maquis crew.

Meanwhile Tuvok is continuing his investigation trying to find out whether or not the latest data stream has anything to do with the attacks. He calls in Harry Kim, who thinks he wants an update on the holodeck scans. However Tuvok wants to talk about Kim's latest letter, because of the 28 people who received a letter only six match the physical parameters of the photon displacement, including Kim. Tuvok refers to the fact that one of Kim's friends was killed by the Maquis. Kim sarcastically confesses to having used his Captain Proton comatizer to shoot it at any Maquis he could find. But then he tells Tuvok he knew this friend had died (probably through a letter in one of the previous data streams) and that he had come to accept this, holding no grudges. This answer baffles Tuvok, who then expresses the notion that this investigation defies logic. The Doctor interrupts the investigation, calling Tuvok because Tabor has regained consciousness. However Tabor is not able to recall who attacked him.

Chakotay spots Chell, an ex-Maquis crewman, in a corridor alone. Chell tells Chakotay that Torres was his partner and she insisted on going off by herself. Understanding this, Chakotay goes to find Torres in cargo bay 2. He finds her there unconscious on the floor. Tuvok, who had been hiding in the shadows, attacks Chakotay and initiates a mind meld.

Act Three

"Captain's log, supplemental. Chakotay and B'Elanna are the latest victims of our mysterious assailant. I have decided to put the ship on a level 10 security alert. Non-essential personnel are confined to quarters and security teams are posted on all decks."

Tuvok is investigating the latest attacks. He apparently has no recollection of his part in it. Janeway meets him and tells that Yosa and Jor have regained consciousness, apparently with no lingering effects. Again referring to the fact that it makes no sense. Tuvok reminds her that it's still a pattern and that it implies purpose. However this assailant has outwitted Tuvok each time. Tuvok feels his presence, as if the assailant is challenging Tuvok to find him. Janeway sends him to his quarters to get some rest since he has been on his feet for 3 days.

During a meditation in his quarters the latent memories resurface and Tuvok sees a Bajoran man in the reflection of his mirror.

Then Tuvok runs to the holodeck where Kim and Janeway are still trying to enhance the image of the assailant. Tuvok asks the computer to isolate the exact time of that image and then to tell where Tuvok was at that time. After lifting the restriction on that information it seems Tuvok was in Holodeck 2. As he turns to tell Janeway what is going on he sees the same Bajoran standing behind Kim and Janeway and it seems only Tuvok can see him. Tuvok states that he believes he is the attacker and tells Janeway to put him in the brig immediately.

Act Four

With Janeway's help, he discovers that a Bajoran, who only Tuvok can see, is controlling him. He tells Janeway that he had received a letter from his son in the latest data stream, however he reviewed all the other letter and failed to review his own.

Sek

A communication from Sek

Janeway meets with Chakotay, who has woken up after 29 hours in a coma, just after Torres. Together they go to astrometrics to meet Seven of Nine. Seven has found a message from the Bajoran, named Teero Anaydis, hidden in a recent letter from Tuvok's son Sek. Chakotay tells them that Teero was a fanatical Bajoran vedek who the Maquis refused to work with because of his unethical methods.

With this further information Tuvok is able to remember that Teero had kidnapped Tuvok years before when Tuvok was working undercover for the Federation in the Maquis, and had implanted something in his mind. Apparently, the hidden message triggered it.

Then Tuvok has another flashback. He is restrained. With Janeway's help he manages to reconstruct this memory. Teero knows he is Starfleet, however he doesn't want to expose him. He wants to use him. But Tuvok is not successful at counteracting Teero's influence. Tuvok activates his combadge and transmits to Chakotay the words, "Pagh t'em far, B'tanay." Chakotay responds, "Understood." Tuvok tells Janeway that it means time of awakening, but he doesn't know what that means and what he or the former Maquis are supposed to do.

Meanwhile The Doctor notices a change in Chakotay's cortical monitor as he walks in to sickbay. Chakotay immediately deactivates The Doctor and stuns Paris with a phaser blast. Then he repeats the Bajoran phrase to Torres, who replies, "I understand."

Act Five

Eventually many of the Maquis officers are in rebellion and take over the ship. Janeway is escorted to the brig and the Starfleet officers are locked up in quarters.

Chakotay, now in command, finds a class M planet on which to deposit the Starfleet personnel. But he has one problem to deal with first. Tuvok seems to be under Teero's control, but Tuvok has betrayed Chakotay before. Chakotay devises a test. He has Janeway brought to the ready room and gives Tuvok a phaser, set on kill. He orders Tuvok to kill Janeway. Tuvok presses the fire button, but the phaser doesn't work. Chakotay declares that Tuvok has passed the test. Chakotay orders the Maquis guard to take Janeway back to the brig, leaving himself alone with Tuvok. Tuvok leaps on Chakotay and initiates another mind meld.

Later, on the bridge, Torres states that they've arrived at the planet and can start the beam downs immediately. Chakotay says that the planet's atmosphere is unstable and that they must find another. Torres protests, but Tuvok and Chakotay quickly disarm the Maquis.

Teero's control of the remaining Maquis is undone and Janeway assumes command again. Back in the holographic theater, Janeway asks Tuvok how he was sure that the phaser was out of commission. Tuvok replies that since Chakotay didn't trust him, he wouldn't have given Tuvok a working phaser. Janeway is thankful that Tuvok's hunches are usually correct and they begin to watch the 3D movie.

Memorable quotes

"Pagh t'em far, B'tanay."

- Teero Anaydis


"These will make the images on the screen appear three-dimensional."
"Let me get this straight: you've gone to all this trouble to program a three-dimensional environment that projects a two-dimensional image, and now you're asking me to wear these to make it look three-dimensional again?"
"Great, isn't it?"

- Paris and Torres, referring to 3D glasses


"We'd better find a way to protect the rest of the Maquis; I'm running out of beds."

- The Doctor


"Can you extrapolate the assailant's height and weight?"
"I'd say between 170 and 190 centimeters, maybe 75 kilograms."
"That describes about half the members of the crew!"
"At least we can rule out Naomi Wildman."

- Tuvok, Kim and Paris, while running a simulation on Tabor's assailant


"It could be her."
"Oh, please."
