Heroes and Demons
Voyager
arrives at a protostar. Some of its energy is beamed aboard
to study however there is a small glitch. B'Elanna
manages to make care of it. B'Elanna calls Harry
to help her with her research however he cannot be detected
in the holodeck
where he was running a program based on the poem Beowulf.
On the holodeck Tuvok
and Chakotay arrive.
The people in the hall tell them that Harry was killed by
Grendle, the monster that has killed many of their own men.
They tell them that they would not be wise to face the monster.
Tuvok and Chakotay ask them go help find them. One of the
people tries to fight them but the leader tells them they
can stand watch tonight.
B'Elanna and Janeway
discuss with Chakotay and Tuvok discuss what could have happened.
They suggest Harry was converted into energy and put inside
the program. On the holodeck they detect something and then
they lose contact with Janeway and B'Elanna.
Tom, B'Elanna and
Janeway discuss how it could have worked with holodeck nodes.
Tom suggests that the
Doctor is used to go in and investigate. They go down
to sickbay
and explain the situation. Janeway calls it his first away
mission.
They leave and the Doctor is left to talk to Kes.
Kes suggests he is nervous because he can describe every piece
of equipment in sickbay but he does not know what to expect
when he begins his mission.
Tom transfers the Doctor onto the holodeck. He begins to
look around but is stopped by one of the kings female solider,
Freya. He tells her he is looking for Grendle. He tells her
his name is Schweitzer. She talks him to see the king who
gives the same speech as was given to Tuvok and Chakotay except
this time the Doctor gets into a swordfight.
He doesn't do too well until he puts down his sword. When
his opponent swings for him he allows the sword to pass straight
through him, damaging his opponents hand when the sword hits
the floor. He is hailed as a new champion to fight Grendle.
The Doctor joins them for a feast. They ask the Doctor to
tell them a tale and he begins to go on about protecting the
crew from a disease. They don't really understand it but the
king offers him a tour of his home. Freya comes on to the
Doctor and starts making out with him.
Freya leaves and the Grendle appears and begins to grab the
Doctor. Janeway has him beamed out of the holodeck and back
to sickbay by Tom but he is missing an arm. B'Elanna says
there are synaptic patterns in the readings from the contact
with it.
B'Elanna and Tom analysis the readings but an energy being
comes out and flies away through the ship. They try to trap
it in force fields but it escapes. B'Elanna tells Janeway
that the energy being is a life form. It heads for the hull
and leaves the ship.
Janeway gets it on the main viewer but it disappears into
the protostar which seems to act like a ship or a transporter.
Janeway suggests that the crew are in the energy being as
there were three patterns inside it. Janeway says when they
took the energy from the protostar they were actually taking
a life form.
The Doctor suggests they give the other life forms to Grendle
it would act like a peace offering. Janeway agrees to let
the Doctor complete the mission. She arrives back and is greated
by Freya. The kings captain attacks him but Freya defends
him and takes a stab for him. She dies and the Doctor heads
off to complete his mission.
The Doctor returns to the hall where he asks the king to
return the talisman, ie the energy beings. The captain says
the king should not listen to him but the Doctor confronts
him and he backs off. The Doctor calls the Grendle out. He
frees the energy beings and the missing crewmen return.
