* WeaponizedTeleportation: Cullah asks a powerful Kazon faction leader to help him take down ''Voyager''. The Maje isn't interested and implies he might take the transporter technology for himself.

** Kazon knowing their shield frequencies assumes that Voyager crew apparently didn't bother to change their access codes after Seska left.

''Voyager'' detects a Federation signal and suspects that it might be a rescue attempt by Starfleet, but upon scanning it, they're ambushed by two Kazon vessels. Using knowledge of ''Voyager'''s access codes, the smaller vessel penetrates the ship's shields and pierces the hull. A Kazon boarding party fights their way through the ship to steal a transporter module, damage the remaining transporters, and beam away. Janeway holds the larger ship in a tractor beam, so the ship hails them. First Majeh Culluh of the Kazon-Nistrim greets them and reveals that he's working with the former Voyager crew member and Cardassian deep-cover agent Seska. She disrupts Voyager's tractor beam, allowing the ship to escape.

Culluh receives the leaders of several Kazon sects and proposes an alliance, claiming to already have ''Voyager'''s command codes. Their negotiations are interrupted by ''Voyager'' itself. The small Kazon fleet attack, and the Majes demand that Culluh use his command codes, but Culluh delays. Even without the codes, the fleet pummels ''Voyager. Onboard, Torres is unable to transport Chakotay to safety due to Seska's efforts in blocking their efforts. Instead, Janeway has the ship transport all of the First Majes onboard and hold them hostage. At phaserpoint, Tuvok demands the return of Chakotay and all Federation technology in return for their freedom. They reluctantly agree.

Janeway is concerned that Federation technology in the hands of the Kazon will disrupt the power balance of the quadrant. They ship makes plans to pursue Culluh and Seska. Chakotay, a former lover of Seska's, feels particularly betrayed and responsible for the calamity. Meanwhile, Culluh meets with the leaders of the two largest sects of the Kazon and proposes an alliance using his newfound technology to rule the quadrant. Instead, the other leaders demand that he hand over the technology to them so that they can lead the conquest. Seska tricks the leaders into being "escorted back to their ships." When Voyager arrives on the scene, they find both leaders floating in space, having been transported there by Seska.

Chakotay catches up with Culluh's ship and prepares an assault. Seska detects his ship and reveals his position, but as the ship opens fire, the realize that Chakotay has already beamed aboard. He destroys the transporter module and sends a message back to Voyager announcing his success and warning Janeway not to pursue him. He's quickly captured and interrogated by Seska. He reveals that he wiped the shuttlecraft's computer, leaving Seska with little Federation technology to give her any advantage. Seska demands that he give over ''Voyager'''s access codes, but Chakotay won't budge. Even after being tortured and drugged by Culluh, Chakotay refuses to talk and instead tries to drive a wedge between the First Maje and Seska. After Culluh takes a break, Seska uses a device to inserts a needle into Chakotay's neck.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted; everyone's horrified that Seska impregnated herself using Chakotay's DNA, and the act is specifically compared to rape in "Basics".
* DragonInChief: Seska is the real brains behind the Kazon-Nistrim, even ordering about Cullah's men, despite the innately patriarchal Kazon culture.

* ItsPersonal

* SwordOverHead: In a TooDumbToLive moment, Chakotay beams onto the Kazon ship, destroys the stolen transporter, points his phaser at Seska who tenses in anticipation of her death...then Chakotay hands her the phaser. Isn't this guy a Cardassian-hating, ex-Maquis terrorist? Only the idea that Chakotay still has feelings for Seska explains it.

* WeaponizedTeleportation: Cullah asks a powerful Kazon faction leader to help him take down ''Voyager''. The Maje isn't interested and implies he might take the transporter technology for himself. So Cullah says he'll beam the Maje and his NumberOne back to his ship...only ''Voyager'' finds their bodies drifting in space.

''Voyager'' detects a Federation signal, but it turns out to be a trap by the Kazon-Nistrim working in alliance with Seska, who steal the components of a working transporter. Then the crew discover that Chakotay has taken off after Seska on a solo mission.

* BlatantLies: Cullah tells the other Kazon Majes that he has ''Voyager'''s command codes, and his men drag in a barely-conscious Chakotay as "proof". As the battle goes on, however, it becomes obvious that he's bluffing.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: With ''Voyager'''s technology, Maje Cullah plans to unite the Kazon factions under his command.

* SwordOverHead: In a WhatAnIdiot moment for fans, Chakotay beams onto the Kazon ship, destroys the stolen transporter, points his phaser at Seska who tenses in anticipation of her death...then Chakotay hands her the phaser.

* PowerTrio: [[TheKirk Captain Janeway]] gets the same emotion vs. logic viewpoints from [[TheSpock Tuvok]] and [[TheMcCoy B'Elanna]] that [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Captain Kirk did from Spock and Bones]].

* BreachingPod: The Kazon (under Seska's guidance) have built a vessel that they use to smash through ''Voyager'''s hull, enabling a boarding party to steal the transporter component.

* IdiotBall: Kazon knowing their shield frequencies assumes that Voyager crew apparently didn't bother to change their access codes after Seska left.

* SilentRunningMode: Chakotay uses some old Maquis tricks to sneak up on the Kazon cruiser in a shuttle and scan it for the stolen transporter tech. Seska uses "photonic charges" in the usual [[SubStory submarine vs. depth charge]] [[SpaceIsAnOcean metaphor]] to detect him.

* SwordOverHead: In a WhatTheHellHero moment for fans, Chakotay beams onto the Kazon ship, destroys the stolen transporter, points his phaser at Seska who tenses in anticipation of her death...then Chakotay hands her the phaser. Isn't this guy a Cardassian-hating, ex-Maquis terrorist? Only the idea that Chakotay still has feelings for Seska explains it.

* IShallTauntYou: Chakotay enjoys telling Cullah about Seska while the Kazon is beating him for information.

* ConflictBall: Tuvok suggests to Chakotay (in front of several other crewmembers) that he use his intimate knowledge of Seska to manipulate her the same way she has manipulated him. For Tuvok (and indeed the majority of Vulcan's before ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'') this is incredibly rude and out of character.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When things start going leola root-shaped Seska leaves the room, ostensibly to go to the Bridge. Cullah goes to follow her, but is stopped at gunpoint by the other Majes who realise he's been lying through his teeth about having ''Voyager'''s command codes.

-->'''CHAKOTAY:''' It means something to me, Captain. It means I've let you down, and for that I'm truly sorry.

-->'''JANEWAY:''' How do you expect me to keep order when the First Officer takes it upon himself to run off like some cowboy because he decides it's a good idea? What you did was commendable. The way you did it was not. You set a terrible example. And on a personal level, you've made my job more difficult.
-->'''CHAKOTAY:''' If that's so, I regret it.
-->'''JANEWAY:''' I'm putting you on report, in case that means anything anymore.

-->'''JANEWAY:''' What I want to know, Mister Tuvok, is how he was able to get a shuttlecraft off this ship without either of us knowing about it.
-->'''TUVOK:''' Apparently he was able to override the lockout command.
-->'''JANEWAY:''' I guess Seska's not the only one who knows how to compromise our security systems.
-->'''TUVOK:''' [[HilariousInHindsight I assure you it will not happen again]].[[note]]It happens just a few episodes later in "Threshold". Not only does Tom steal a shuttle, he abducts Captain Janeway too![[/note]]

-->'''CULLUH:''' [[IShallTauntYou You talk too much]], Federation, but you're not telling me what I need to know.
