Alice
Tom and Harry
try to guess Tuvok's
age to kill time on the bridge. Then Harry detects a fleet
of ships ahead. Tuvok raises shields hover it turns out to
be a junkyard of 62 ships. They get a hail from an alien called
Abandon welcoming him to his junkyard trading station.
Abandon beams aboard Voyager
and is greeted by Neelix
and Chakotay.
Meanwhile Harry, Tom and Seven
are in astrometrix and Tom sees a ship he really likes. He
tells Chakotay about it and mentions it has a neurogenic interface.
Chakotay eventually agrees to trade for it.
Tom and Harry work on the ship but have no luck in getting
it to work. They finally get the controls online and Tom tries
out the neurogenic interface. He tells Harry he has named
the ship 'Alice.' They leave and the ship comes to life processing
Tom's voice in the computer.
Later Tom is in the mess hall and he hears a voice. He follows
it and a girl who appears to be a representation of Alice
leads him to the ship. Tom sends much more time working on
the ship over several days and changes his uniform to a flight
suite he find in Alice's database. He also misses the time
he was suppose to spend with Harry on the holodeck.
Seven and Neelix thing they have been coned by Abandon. However
Seven realises one of the worthless trinkets is made from
Berilium and worth loads. Neelix suggests they give it back
however Seven reminds him "all trades are final."
Tom goes to christen Alice and B'lanna
joins him for campaign but they fall out and B'lanna leaves.
Later Chakotay has a talk with Tom who tells him to cool off.
He goes to Alice who talks to him and ells him to ignore Chatokay.
Tom steels several parts and managers to get Alice ready
to fly. B'lanna goes to find Tom. He is not there so she goes
inside Alice. Alice seals her in and tries to kill her. Tom
comes in and saves her although he thinks it was B'lanna's
fault.
B'lanna goes to see Chakotay but Tom leaves the shuttle bay
in Alice after fully connecting the neurogenic interface.
He heads for a stellar phenomenon however Voyager catches
up. The Doctor
connects to the neutrogenic interface so B'lanna can speak
to Tom. Tom realises what he has done and dumps Alice.
