** However, it's brought to attention that Harry [[BoldlyComing engages in first contact]] without being medically cleared (which is brought up for the first time in the franchise) and does end up catching a biochemical disease (unlike some of the previous sexual encounters where the people involved were simply manipulated, sometimes through what some may consider dubious mental abilities), not to mention that these particular encounter had the Varro strictly against any non-work related contact, and that Harry himself is just an Ensign (as opposed to the highest-ranking commanding positions Kirk, Riker, Chakotay and Janeway have) and as such his transgression will always be treated as a violation of orders.

''Voyager'' assists the Varro, a rather paranoid and xenophobic species, in repairing the engines of their GenerationShip, while the crew, Harry included, pursue their own excitements aboard. Unfortunately, he forms a biochemical link with the lovely Tal, which causes [[PowerGlows his skin to glow]] and an insatiable desire in both of them, resulting in... rather strained relations with the Varro.
* BittersweetEnding: The Varro's GenerationShip, which has been in operation for hundreds of years, separates, and Harry has a long road to recovery, choosing to tough out the symptoms of his heartbreak rather than dull them with drugs. But, the dissidents get their own system where they can be content.
