It's a normal day on Voyager, and Paris is taking B'Elanna on a date to the holodeck to enjoy a good old fashioned 1950s horror movie, ''Film/RevengeOfTheCreature''. To their surprise, however, they find Tabor, a bajoran crewmember, unconscious in the front row of the movie theater. Upon examination, the Doctor finds that he is comatose, with no hint as to what happened except for some unexplained microfractures in his skull.

It's a normal day on Voyager, and Paris is taking B'Elanna on a date to the holodeck to enjoy a good old fashioned 1950s horror movie, ''Film/RevengeOfTheCreature''. To their surprise, however, they find Tabor, a bajoran Bajoran crewmember, unconscious in the front row of the movie theater. Upon examination, the Doctor finds that he is comatose, with no hint as to what happened except for some unexplained microfractures in his skull.



In response, Janeway confines all non-essential crew to their quarters. Tuvok continues the investigation with no recollection of his involvement, but feels a sense of unease, as though he can feel the assailant's presence. While meditating in his quarters, Tuvok begins to have flashbacks of the attacks, then sees the reflection of an unfamiliar bajoran man in his mirror. Rushing back to the holodeck, he finds that Paris and Kim have more forensic data about the attacker, and that it matches Tuvok's description precisely. Convinced that he is the instigator, Tuvok requests that he be sent to the brig.

The mysterious bajoran man, whom only Tuvok can see, is apparently controlling him. Seven-of-Nine finds a subliminal message hidden in a letter from Tuvok's son from the last data stream, which Tuvok neglected to check during his investigation. Chakotay and B'Elanna, who have now woken from their comas along with the rest of the victims, identify the man in the message as Teero Anaydis, a fanatical bajoran vedek who did experiments in mind control but was expelled from the Maquis for his lack of ethics.

With Janeway's help, Tuvok begins to recover memories from when he worked undercover in the Maquis. Teero apparently knew that Tuvok was a Starfleet spy, but chose not to reveal him. Instead, he implanted something in his mind to be activated later, and repressed his memory of the event. Still fighting Teero's control, Tuvok calls Chakotay and speaks a cryptic bajoran phrase said by Teero in his message. Chakotay calmly acknowledges, then proceeds to stage a mutiny with the aid of the others who were attacked by Tuvok.

A pattern emerges: all three victims were former Maquis. This leads to suspicions that someone has a grudge against them, though it doesn't explain why they would suddenly lash out now. For safety, Chakotay orders all remaining former Maquis to travel in pairs and stay armed. Meanwhile, Paris and Kim are on the holodeck trying to extrapolate forensic data about the attacker from the holodeck logs, but the information is not specific enough to exclude more than about half the crew.

It's a normal day on Voyager, and Paris is taking B'Elanna on a date to the holodeck to enjoy a good old fashioned 1950s horror movie, ''Film/RevengeOfTheCreature''. To their surprise, however, they find Tabor, a bajoran crewmember, unconscious in the front row of the movie theater. Upon examination, the Doctor finds that he is comatose, with no hint as to what happened except for some unexplained microfractures in his skull.

As Chief of Security, Tuvok is tasked with investigating. He has a hunch that Tabor was assailed by a member of the crew, but admits to Janeway that he has no logical explaination for it. Crewman Jor, a friend of Tabor's, is his first suspect, but it is not long before both she and Yosa, another crewmember, also turn up comatose in separate incidents.

A pattern emerges: all three victims were former Maquis. This leads to suspicions that someone has a grudge against them, though it doesn't explain why they would suddenly lash out now. For safety, Chakotay orders all remaining former Maquis to travel in pairs and stay armed. Meanwhile, Paris and Kim are on the holodeck trying to extrapolate forensic data about the attacker from the holodeck logs, but the information is not specific enough to exclude more than about half the crew.

Tuvok investigates the contents of the latest data stream from Earth, which arrived only just before the attacks. He questions Kim about a letter he received in the data stream, which made mention of a friend that was killed by the Maquis, and suggests it may have provoked Kim to violence. Kim is incredulous, saying his friend's death was old news to him and that he had already gotten over it. Tuvok, who seems to tacitly agree that Kim is an unlikely suspect, expresses frustration over the inscrutability of the case. In sickbay, Tabor wakes with no memory of his attack and no apparent health effects, which only raises more questions.

B'Elanna, who refused to stay with her partner and ventured out alone, becomes the next victim. Chakotay discovers her in one of the cargo bays and is then attacked himself. The assailant is revealed to be none other than Tuvok, who overpowers Chakotay and renders him comatose using a mind meld.

In response, Janeway confines all non-essential crew to their quarters. Tuvok continues the investigation with no recollection of his involvement, but feels a sense of unease, as though he can feel the assailant's presence. While meditating in his quarters, Tuvok begins to have flashbacks of the attacks, then sees the reflection of an unfamiliar bajoran man in his mirror. Rushing back to the holodeck, he finds that Paris and Kim have more forensic data about the attacker, and that it matches Tuvok's description precisely. Convinced that he is the instigator, Tuvok requests that he be sent to the brig.

The mysterious bajoran man, whom only Tuvok can see, is apparently controlling him. Seven-of-Nine finds a subliminal message hidden in a letter from Tuvok's son from the last data stream, which Tuvok neglected to check during his investigation. Chakotay and B'Elanna, who have now woken from their comas along with the rest of the victims, identify the man in the message as Teero Anaydis, a fanatical bajoran vedek who did experiments in mind control but was expelled from the Maquis for his lack of ethics.

With Janeway's help, Tuvok begins to recover memories from when he worked undercover in the Maquis. Teero apparently knew that Tuvok was a Starfleet spy, but chose not to reveal him. Instead, he implanted something in his mind to be activated later, and repressed his memory of the event. Still fighting Teero's control, Tuvok calls Chakotay and speaks a cryptic bajoran phrase said by Teero in his message. Chakotay calmly acknowledges, then proceeds to stage a mutiny with the aid of the others who were attacked by Tuvok.

Now in control, Chakotay declares Voyager a Maquis ship, and starts searching for a habitable planet on which to leave the Starfleet crew. Tuvok appears to still be under Teero's control, but since he betrayed the Maquis once before, Chakotay arranges a test of loyalty for him. He ushers Janeway into the ready room, gives Tuvok a phaser set to kill, and orders him to shoot her. Tuvok complies, but the phaser was sabotaged, so Janeway remains unharmed.

Satisfied, Chakotay clears the room to speak privately with Tuvok, but the moment he turns his back, Tuvok grabs him and initiates another mind meld, undoing Teero's control. Together, they neutralize the Maquis on the bridge, and Tuvok is able to free the rest of the compromised crew. Tuvok later explains to Janeway that he fired the phaser to gain Chakotay's trust, wagering that he would not have given Tuvok a functional phaser while his loyalties were still in doubt.


!!Tropes:

* BookEnds: The episodes starts and ends in Paris' 1950s movie theater recreation on the holodeck.
* {{Brainwashed}}: Teero's brainwashing of the crew is nearly perfect. Besides Tuvok, everyone who was affected behaves perfectly normal both before and after being "activated", with their loyalties being the only thing that changes.
* TheKillerInMe: Tuvok is the amnesiac variety, although he does not actually murder anyone.
* TheMutiny: Teero's mind control causes Tuvok to unwittingly start a pro-Maquis mutiny. Once he regains his self-control, he quickly stages another to return to the status quo.
* ShootYourMate: Chakotay demands that Tuvok shoot Janeway to prove his loyalty. Tuvok correctly gambles that the phaser is not functional, and thus succeeds in winning Chakotay's trust by making the attempt.
