A Hirogen distress call reveals a training facility where the Hirogens, using the holo-technology given to them by Janeway a couple of years ago, have been slaughtered by cunning holograms they have created and reprogrammed as prey. The holograms escape, commandeer a ship, and return to attack the Hirogen and Voyager, kidnapping the doctor. At first, the doctor sees their actions as violent, but when he hears the whole story and realizes they are just searching for a home where they can be free of the Hirogen, he wants to help. However, he cannot totally convince Janeway to trust these holograms. When Janeway is about to disable the holograms holo-emitters and keep them in the database (to avoid more bloodshed from two rapidly approaching Hirogen ships), the doctor defects and beams back to the hologram ship, and helps them avoid capture.
By far, one of the most well-paced and intriguing episodes in some time, with enough ambiguity to keep you guessing.
