(More customer reviews)When the captain and Neelix return from a trade mission with the Tak Tak, they find Voyager seemingly abandon and adrift, they then encounter flying life forms with three arms or tendrils and armed with a large stinger. One of them sprays Neelix with some kind of slime, the two manage to escape but Neelix becomes increasingly sick. Janeway goes to get an emergency kit, but when she comes back she finds he has disappeared.
Now alone she goes to the bridge to arm herself, but not before another comfrontation with the flying things where one of them stings her. After killing it she goes to explore the ship, she finds all the crew lying in the mess hall incapacitated and unresponsive.
After another attack from the flying things she goes to sick bay where she locates the doctor, he explains that while she and Neelix were away, Voyager was contacted by a mining colony, that had been stricken by a virus.
The virus creates an orifice on the host from which come tiny flying bugs, they grow larger by using the host's growth hormone. Some of the tiny bugs made it back with the doctor when he was beamed back from the colony, and now have infected the entire crew. He has made an antigen, but whenever he ventures out to test it he's attacked by the flying bugs. Luckily since he's a hologram, he can't be infected.
Since the captain is also stricken with the virus she volunteers to test it, it works. And she recommends making the antidote is a gaseous form and puting it in the ship's environmental system, but the system has been damaged. The two then find that Voyager is being fired at by the Tak Tak, who is aware of the virus. The Tak Tak give Janeway one hour to cure the crew and rid of the virus, or Voyager must be destroyed.
Good special effects and interesting story. The captain instructs the doctor to use a humorous way of distracting the flying bugs, by activating Kim & Paris' tropical resort hologram program from episode 52, and setting the bugs loose on the holographic beach goers!
