Captain Janeway is playing through her gothic romance holonovel when the characters start disappearing. She messages the bridge for an explanation and learns that the ship is having issues with its power. Tuvok tracks down the issue and finds a former Maquis crewman, Dalby, completing a repair to a broken gelpack. Tuvok reprimands him for making an unscheduled repair, but Dalby brusquely tells Tuvok to leave him alone. After Tuvok reports the confrontation, Janeway admits that some Maquis not adapting well to Starfleet life and need to be taught how to think like a Starfleet officer. She puts Tuvok in charge of teaching problem Maquis in the ways of Starfleet.

Tuvok meets his new charges, the standoffish Henley, the chatterbug Chell, the sullen Garron, and the combative Dalby himself. Insulted by their assignment to the class, the group refuses to heed Tuvok's orders and walk out. Chakotay meets the foursome in the mess hall, and they complain to them about not being allowed to follow their old ways rather than Starfleet's. In Maquis fashion, Chakotay decks Dalby and orders the foursome to return to the class. Tuvok quickly puts the class through a grueling regimen of physical training and technical education. During a battle simulation, Dalby orders a LastStand against impossible odds. Tuvok criticizes him for not simply retreating.

Meanwhile, Torres has been puzzling over the increasing problems they've been having with the ship's gel packs. Since the gel packs use bio-neural technology, she gives one to the Doctor to diagnose, and he discovers that it's been infected with something, but he needs to know the origin of the infection to stop it. While he and Kes investigate the mystery, Tuvok stops by the mess hall and grouses about his class's lack of progress to Neelix, who suggests that he try to be more flexible and find out more about his students. Before leaving the kitchen, Tuvok identifies a block of cheese as the source of the gel packs' infection. It's beamed to sick bay for analysis.

Tuvok invites Dalby to the holodeck in an effort to get to know him, but Dalby rebuffs him. Later, Tuvok leads the quartet in another training exercise, but the ship begins the shut down. The infection is spreading and knocking out all the ship's systems one by one. Their compartment will soon fill with noxious gas, so Tuvok orders everyone out. As they try to escape, Gerron falls unconscious, and Dalby moves to save rescue him, but Tuvok says that protocol dictates that it is too dangerous to go back. He physically forces Dalby to leave. Instead, Tuvok himself stays behind and attempts to rescue Gerron, but after carrying the man most of the way to safety, he collapses.

In sick bay, the Doctor and Kes are running out to time to think of a solution. Kes asks whether bacteria can get infected with a virus, and the Doctor realizes that yes, a virus ''within'' the bacteria may be causing the infection rather than the bacteria itself. They whip up a cure and defeat the infection, saving the ship. Afterwards, the, the remaining classmates rescue Tuvok and Gerron. Tuvok admits that he is learning to bend rules when necessary. Dalby says that if Tuvok can learn to bend rules, then he can learn to follow them.

-->Down in the cargo bay Dolby comments that it might be the inertial dampeners failing. He doesn't sound very worried given the severity of the problem. Inertial dampeners are what prevent the immense forces of a ship acceleration or deceleration from being applied to the occupants. Well you know what this is like when you slam on the brakes or take a tight turn in a car that's going at a few dozen miles an hour, so imagine if you are traveling at the kinds of speeds a warp capable ship is. Inertial dampeners failing should be said in roughly the same tone of voice as 'MY ARM IS STUCK IN A WOOD CHIPPER!'

** Tuvok somehow interprets "show the Maquis why Starfleet does things the way they do" to mean "subject the Maquis to pointless arduous tasks without offering any explanation why".

** Tuvok somehow interprets "show the Maquis why Starfleet does things the way they do" to mean "subject the Maquis to pointless arduous tasks without offering any explanation why". Chakotay, on the other hand, interprets it to mean "punch one of them in the face and then blackmail them until they give in to our demands".
