A dieing Vidiian woman is beamed aboard Voyager. The doctor prolongs her brain temporarily by transferring her to the holobuffer. She becomes a hologram like him, and for the first time since she was seven she finds out how it is to live without disease. Slowly, she and the doctor fall in love. The doctor calls for help from Tom Paris, who suggest they ‘park’ in a 50’s automobile while gazing out at Mars – one of his favorite holodeck programs. It works, but the woman must return to her somewhat less ravaged body and go back to her people.
