A woman, after being involved in a deadly space battle, needs Chakotay's help. There's just one problem: her race is basically [[Series/DoctorWho The Silence]] [[LighterAndSofter without all the creepiness (but still some)]]: memories of her race can't be held in the minds of others!

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The Ramurans have this as a biological trait: other races cannot remember them after a few hours. You can imagine what kind of difficulty that causes when Kellin reveals she fell in love with Chakotay! Their technology is designed to complement this effect.

* EminentlyEnigmaticRace: The crew encounter a race of humanoids who emit a pheromone that makes it impossible for other races to remember them. They also have advanced cloaking technology that keeps them from being detected and computer viruses that wipe out any record of them, so the only way to maintain any record of their existence is with old fashioned paper.

** The neurolytic emitter which the Ramurans use, their [[Franchise/MenInBlack neuralizer]]. We see Curneth, a fellow tracer, use it on Kellin, to tragic effect because it's slow-acting instead of instant like the neuralizer.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Kellin claims to have had this towards Chakotay, and seems to be preoccupied with her feelings for him rather than conclusively proving that she was on ''Voyager''.

*ProtagonistCenteredMorality: The "stowaway" that Kellin came to ''Voyager'' to retrieve presumably also had a compelling personal reason for wanting to leave his homeworld--perhaps something even more sympathetic than being in love with someone he's known for a maximum of two weeks--but we never find out what it was, nor does anyone in-universe express any curiosity about this point. Kellin's mind-wipe and return to Ramura is shown as tragic, or at best bittersweet, while the other runaway's fate is a throwaway line about him being happy to return post-mind-wipe--and even that isn't certain, since FridgeLogic raises the question of what Kellin did with him when she decided to turn around and return to ''Voyager''. Did she stop by Ramura first to drop him off--bad enough given that she knew he wanted to leave--or [[ThrownOuttheAirlock worse]]?
