Paris salvages an abandoned shuttle with a bio-neural pilot interface.

Summary

During a visit to a "graveyard" which contains thousands of ships, some in wreckage and the central station containing many artifacts from these vessels, in astrometrics, Tom Paris, Harry Kim and Seven of Nine are looking at the ships to see if anything is available for salvage. Paris notices a small vessel about the size of a Type 9 shuttlecraft.

During briefing, Paris describes the details of the ship to Chakotay; it has a bio-neural interface which links the pilot's mind with the ship's controls and thus allows it to respond at the speed of thought. Chakotay agrees to trade the ship for some plasma couplings and Paris' jukebox.

Paris restores the ship, but the bio-neural interface begins to have an effect on Paris' mind. He begins seeing a beautiful young woman named Alice who has complete control over his mind. Eventually Paris is controlled completely by Alice and the two break away from Voyager on a course for a particle fountain.

At the last minute Paris is beamed off Alice and the ship falls into the particle fountain and explodes because of the extreme heat and particle density.

Background Information

  • Alice refers to the particle fountain as "home", but it is never explained what she means by this since she is apparently nothing more than a program.
