Nightingale
Harry, Neelix
and Seven of Nine
are flying a shuttle when a hail comes in from an alledged
medical transport ship. They come to rescue it moments before
it is destroyed by Antarie warships.
Most of the crew on the ship are dead however there are several
'passengers,' who do servive. With the help of a new recruit
who did survive, Harry manages to get main power back online.
However the passengers seem more worried about getting their
clocking device back online than treating the wounded.
Meanwhile Voyager
is sat on a planet making repairs to the ship, in particular
its warp drive. B'Elanna
offers to take Icheb, one of the rescued borg children, rock
climbing once the repairs have been finished.
Back on the shuttle the alledged doctor (who is head of the
passengers) asks Harry to help them by captaining the ship
back to their home planet as they have never flown a ship
before. Harry agrees to take them as far as Voyager which
is on the way to the planet.
When the ship reaches the planet which Voyager is currently
sitting on, they find 3 Antarie vessels in orbit and unknown
to them, Anatarian's chatting to Captain
Janeway as she discusses the possibility of trading with
them.
Once the Antarie leave, the aliens and Harry head down to
the surface where they meet with Captain Janeway and explain
the situation. Janeway is angry at Harry at first however
Harry persuades Janeway to let him command the ship as he
returns the aliens to their homeworld.
Icheb gies to sick bay to fix a broken holo emitter which
causes the Doctors
legs to disappear when he moves to the far corner of the room.
He askes the Doctor above how to tell if someone is in love
with you. The Doctor suggests pysical responses like higher
dorpheen levels.
Tom wants to join
Harry on his mission as he wants to get back into space however
Harry refuses as he wants it to be his mission and Tom outranks
him. "You have always been Captain Proton and I have
always been Busta Kinkade," as Harry put it.
Harry arrives on the brige of the alien ship and after discovering
it has no name, he names it 'Nightingale' after the famous
nurse due to the vessel being a medical transport or so he
has been led to beleive. The ship heads off into space. Harry
feels like he is settling in well to his role as captain although
Severn suggests he is in overkill mode.
Back on Voyager, B'Elanna and Icheb are working in a Jerry's
tube contuing with their repairs. Icheb turns away to conduct
a quick scan of B'Elanna's bio signs to she what she is feeling.
On the shuttle a glitch temporerily takes the cloaking device
the ship has offline. The alien doctor seems very concerned
at his however Harry says he will monitor it closely and seems
confident to go on with the mission.
Later an explosion in engineering knocks Seven and one of
the passengers working their to the ground. It takes the cloaking
device offline and almost immediatly Anarie war vessels are
attcking the ship. Dayla, another one of the passengers is
sent down their and gets everyone out as well as getting the
clocking field back online however life support fails for
a short period and she dies.
When asking the alien doctor to exame Seven who appears to
be in shock, Harry discovers that he is not a doctor at all
and knows a lot more about cloaking devices then he wanted
Harry to know. After some questioning Harry discovers that
the ship is a protype for a cloaking device which will be
used for miliary purposes.
Harry is outraged and gives the order for the ship to be
turned around to head back to Voyager. However the crew refuses
to follow orders and Harry is releaved of command by the head
alien.
Back on Voyager Icheb reverals to B'Elanna that he beleives
she wants a romantic involvement with him. B'Elanna denies
this even when Icheb reveales that her bio scans suggested
a state of arrousal. B'Elanna decides the best thing to do
is play along and agreess to end their 'relationship.'
Harry moans to Seven about what has happeneded and has prepared
an escape pod for the two to leave in however Seven tells
him to stop being so studpid and to get back helping the crew
make it to their home planet. Harry arrives back on the bridge
to take command as they prepare to attempt to evade scanning
pulses designed to illuminate cloacked ships hulls.
Aboard Voyager, Captain Janeway is hailed by two Anarie warships
who say they have discovered Voyager is helping the aliens
and are here to escort Voyager to the edge of Anarie space.
Janeway says the warp drive is offline however the Anarie
persist and say they will escort Voyager at impulse.
With the alien shop heading towards the surface and taking
heavy damage Harry sends out a hail offering to surrender.
Harry negosiates to get the passengers to the surface in escape
pods so even if the vessel is destroyed the scientist will
survive the build another one.
Seven and the new recruit alien say aboard the ship and wait
for the Anarie to lock onto the ship with a tractor beam then
use their own weapons against them to break free and make
it to the surface of the planet.
Voyager is escorted out of Anarie spcace by the two ships
which leave. They are about to start scanning for Harry when
they recieve a hail from him. The vessel is cloaked and flying
just on the side of Voyager.
