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 explanation 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.

As Chief of Security, Tuvok is tasked with investigating. He has a hunch that Tabor was assailed assaulted by a member of the crew, but admits to Janeway that he has no logical explanation 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.



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.

* SuspectIsHatless: When trying to extrapolate the physical parameters of the attacker by [[TechnoBabble dampening the photonic ambience]] in the holodeck and [[ReverseThePolarity reversing the polarity]], Paris and Kim are able to conclude that they were about 170-190cm in height and 75kg in weight -- which matches about half the crew. Kim quips that they can, at least, rule out Naomi Wildman.

* InsaneTrollLogic: The justification for the mutiny used by the Teero-brainwashed crew, given that Voyager can't possibly affect anything the Maquis were fighting for. Even ignoring them still being nowhere near the Alpha Quadrant, it's been three years after the movement was destroyed, Cardassia is no longer an imperial power, and the entire reasons they were fighting no longer exist due to the Dominion War. (The closest justification for all this is that Teero has gone certifiably insane.) It's even explained InUniverse.
