The Cloud
Janeway opens
with a voice over. She walks around the ship. Harry
and Tom are in the
mess
hall. They discuss whether they should have invited her
to join us. She goes into the kitchen to look around. Neelix
tries to give Janeway a coffee alternative though she runs
for it when Chakotay
calls her to the bridge.
They come towards a nebula. Tuvok
suggests they could collect particles from it to use as an
additional anti matter reserve. Chakotay tells Janeway the
crews moral is fairly low and about animal guides. Voyager
approaches the nebula. As Voyager enters the nebula, it hits
an energy barrier.
Neelix questions Janeway's decision to go into the nubla
while in the mess hall with Kes,
although Kes supports her lust for exploration. Voyager begins
to be hit by something and it starts draining Voyager's energy
reserves. Janeway orders them to leave the nebula but Tom
is unable to past the barrier.
In the end Voyager blows a hole in the energy barrier with
a torpedo although energy levels continue to fall. They manage
to clear of the Nebula. That night, Tom takes Harry into one
of his holodeck
programmes. Harry says he thinks Tom misses home too. B'Elanna
goes into sickbay
to talk to the Doctor.
The Doctor is very sarcastic. B'Elanna gives him a sample
from some of the particles that built up on the hull while
Voyager was in the nebula. Chakotay goes to see Janeway and
shows her his medicine bundle. He says he will help her find
her animal guide. Janeway has a vision and sees a small lizard
but is interrupted by B'Elanna.
Chakotay says B'Elanna tried to kill her animal guide :).
B'Elanna tells them that the life form is alive. Janeway decides
to go back in. Neelix goes to see the captain but she tells
him he is going with it. They head inside and cut engines
losing fuel. They decide to use the energy currents to drift.
Neelix arrives on the bridge with Kes bringing refreshments
and announces he is now the ships moral officer. The Doctor
suggests an idea to help the creature regenerate. Voyager
launches a microprobe to distract the creature while they
go into the wound to act as an energy conduit to help it regenerate.
The plan works and Voyager clears the nebula.
The energy reserves are depleted by over 20% so Voyager heads
towards an out of the way planet. Harry invites Janeway into
Tom's holodeck programme.
