2	[[caption-width-right:350:''[[Film/{{Airplane}} "It's his ship now, his command; he's in charge, he's the boss, the head man, the top dog, the big cheese, the head honcho, number one..."]]'']]
3	While ''Voyager'' is settling down for a long-needed maintenance cycle, Icheb really begins to show his worth in the incredible efficiency he brings to engineering tasks. Meanwhile, on a search for resources, Kim, Neelix and Seven stumble into the middle of a space battle, between the Kraylor and the Annari; the former find their officers all dead and in need of our heroes' assistance...
4	-----
5	!!Contains examples of:
6
7	* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Harry decorates his office as though it's a permanent assignment, rhapsodizes in his personal log that he was born to command, and snaps at anyone who tries to give him a suggestion.
8	%%* ADayInTheLimelight: Harry!
9	* AffablyEvil: According to Loken, the Annari come as friends and then annex you without warning.
10	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Poor Icheb; he's got it hard for B'Elanna, but of course she's married. He is convinced, though, that she's the one in love with him, and 'breaks it off' -- to spare his feelings as much as possible, she acquiesces.
11	* AmbiguousSituation: It's never definitively shown if the Kraylor are telling the truth about the Annari. Harry is incensed when he realizes that Loken lied about their mission and immediately tries to return to Voyager, but ultimately he helps them get the cloak back to their people.
12	* CallBack: When Harry's wanting to break through the SidekickGlassCeiling: "You've always been [[Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton Captain Proton; I've always been Buster Kincaid]]. It's my turn this time."
13	* TheChainsOfCommanding:
14	** Harry wants some of his own, dang it! If he were in the Alpha Quadrant, he'd be a lieutenant commander by now! Fortunately, Janeway is inclined to grant Harry's request for his first command mission. Unfortunately, Harry TookALevelInJerkass, being a constant perfectionist and non-delegator until Seven gives a WhatTheHellHero speech.
15	** Neelix claims that the chains take hold even when ordering food!
16	** And [[EpicFail his first time out, he suffers a mutiny]]. [[SarcasmMode Way to go, Harry!]] Fortunately, he recovers in time to complete the mission.
17	* ISurrenderSuckers: Part of Harry's BatmanGambit to get the Annari off their backs.
18	* LoopholeAbuse: Harry claims that since their assistance of the passengers is a humanitarian mission, it doesn't violate the Prime Directive even though it definitely interferes in alien species' conflicts. Janeway doesn't agree, though [[MilitaryMaverick she probably would have done the same thing]].
19	* OhCrap: Three Annari warships are now orbiting the planet where Voyager is landed...
20	* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Loken presents himself as a physician, but his story falls apart when Harry asks him to treat Seven. Turns out he's an engineer.
21	* MauveShirt: Dayla. When she dies repairing the cloak, Harry takes it as a sign he's unfit to command.
22	* RunningTheBlockade: The Kraylor's home planet has been under a stranglehold blockade for years, leading them to develop a cloaking device for the purpose of getting through it.
23	* SidekickGlassCeiling: Harry sure wants to break through this, and Tom has to admit he has a point in wanting to try.
24	* TitleDrop: The name Harry chooses for the Kraylor medical transport helmed by passengers, after [[ShoutOut Florence]] [[CombatMedic Nightingale]]!
25	* WhatWouldXDo: Harry justifying his actions to Janeway, with the variation that "X" refers to TheCaptain herself.
26	--> '''Janeway:''' You've put me in a difficult position, Ensign. We could use the help the Annari are offering, but if they find out we're aiding their enemy--\
27	'''Harry:''' I couldn't just stand by and do nothing.\
28	'''Janeway:''' That doesn't justify getting involved in somebody else's fight.\
29	'''Harry:''' What would you have done?\
30	'''Janeway:''' Probably exactly what you did.\
