Synopsis:
The theft of a transporter module by Kazon forces thrusts
Chakotay into an explosive confrontation with his traitorous
former lover Seska.
Voyager's crew is surprised when sensors pick up a
transmission from someone using a Federation signal. Janeway
lays in a course toward the signal, but when they arrive,
they're attacked by a Kazon vessel, which seems to know how to
penetrate Voyager's shields. Intruders manage to gain access to
the starship, steal a transporter module and beam away to their
own ship. Janeway informs the Kazon leader, Culluh, that the
module is useless without Federation know-how, but Culluh
reveals his trump card: he's joined forces with Seska, a former
crewmember and Cardassian spy.
The implications of Seska's alliance with Culluh are clear --
the Kazon now have an adviser with Starfleet, Maquis and
Cardassian tactical experience. Culluh plans to use the stolen
module to persuade rival sects to help him conquer the
Federation ship. Chakotay tells Torres he feels responsible for
Seska's actions because he recruited her into the Maquis, and
later he decides to leave Voyager to go after the device on his
own.
Chakotay is able to beam undetected from the cockpit of his
shuttlecraft to the Kazon bridge. There, he destroys the stolen
module but is quickly captured and tortured for Voyager's
command codes, which he refuses to reveal.
When Voyager arrives on the scene, the Kazon Majes he's
gathered order Culluh to use the command codes to obliterate the
starship, but it soon becomes obvious that he doesn't have them.
Seska's quick thinking prevents Voyager from beaming Chakotay
off the Kazon ship, so Janeway transports the Kazon Majes
instead. They agree to release Chakotay and his shuttlecraft in
return for their freedom. Later Chakotay is stunned when Seska
informs him that while he was unconscious, she extracted some of
his DNA and impregnated herself with his child.
