Chakotay and Tuvok (what is it with these two trouble-finders – in the last episode they were both ‘killed’ on the holodeck) return from a shuttlecraft away mission injured. Chakotay is ‘brain-dead’; he is missing all of his consciousness. Tuvok is injured but recovers. According to Tuvok, they were zapped by an alien ship that hides out in a nebula. As Voyager heads for the nebula, various members of the crew are taken over by an alien presence that keeps changing the ship’s course away from the nebula. A clever little mystery.
