In search of tellerium to power
the U.S.S. Voyager, Janeway, Tuvok, Neelix and Torres transport
to an Alsaurian city that is occupied by the hostile Mokra.
Tipped off to the crew's presence, Mokra soldiers capture Tuvok
and Torres. Neelix manages to beam back to Voyager with the
tellerium and the Captain is secreted away by Caylem, an
eccentric man who believes Janeway is his long-lost daughter.
On the ship, Chakotay contacts
Augris, the Mokra magistrate, to obtain the missing crewmembers,
but when the effort fails to produce results, he begins
formulating a rescue plan. In Caylem's home, Janeway learns that
Torres and Tuvok have been taken to the Mokra's impenetrable
prison. Hoping to find his missing wife, Caylem asks the Captain
if he can accompany her there. Janeway refuses, but the point
becomes moot when Mokra soldiers arrive, looking for her. The
pair slip out of Caylem's hideout seconds before the soldiers
burst in.
Janeway and Caylem approach the resistance leader who provided
the tellerium, who agrees to help them get weapons so they can
break the crew out of the prison. But when Janeway realizes that
the weapons exchange is a trap, she must resort to using her
feminine wiles to overtake two guards protecting the prison's
access tunnels. After she and Caylem subdue the guards and steal
their weapons, the pair sneak into the prison. Meanwhile,
Voyager comes under hostile fire by the Mokra and the ship is
ordered to leave the area immediately.
Janeway is able to help free Tuvok and Torres, but she goes back
to help Caylem look for his wife. Unfortunately, they run right
into Augris, who reveals that Caylem's wife and daughter — both
members of the resistance — are dead. Caylem fatally stabs the
magistrate and takes a phaser shot meant for Janeway. As Caylem
dies, Janeway plays the role of his daughter and assures him
that both she and her mother forgive him for having been too
fearful to join the resistance years earlier. Seconds later,
Paris arrives and the entire Away Team beams back to the ship.
