Class J nebula lifeform

The Electromagnetic life-form discovered in a Class J nebula in the Delta Quadrant was found to be an intelligent, gaseous entity. The USS Voyager, using the Bussard collectors to gather deuterium accidentally abducted the lifeform as the ship left the destabilising nebula. The life-form responded with hostility by attempting to alter the ship's atmosphere to better emulate it's home environment while simultaniously changing the ship's course in an attempt to return home.

The electromagnetic life-form's alterations caused power outages and forced the evacuation of many areas of the ship, including the bridge and sickbay. Several crew members reported injuries as a result of system malfuntions cause by the entity; included among the injured were Gibson, McMann and Mulcahey.

From a temporary command post in main engineering, Captain Janeway was eventually able to arrive at a uneasy discourse with the creature, with it using the voice of the ship's computer to communicate. The lifeform requested to be returned to it's home nebula and Janeway agreed. However, when Voyager returned to the nebula it was found to have dissipated into space. The life-form was outraged and demanded that the ship be evacuated; Janeway informed it that it could not run the ship without a crew and to run a diagnostic to confirm that fact. The lifeform insisted they evacuate and again Janeway agreed to its demands. While leaving the ship with Chakotay the entity shut the doors between them, isolating Janeway on the ship. It had run the diagnostic and wanted Janeway to stay and maintain the ship's systems, but she refused, risking her life. Without any other options remaining, the life-form agreed to let the crew of Voyager find it a new home.

During its stay it resided on Deck 12 Section 42, causing the area to be off limits, which started rumors of ghosts and monsters among the ship's children. Voyager later found a new home for the creature, and all systems were shutdown to minimise problems while it was leaving the ship. As a result, much of the ship was in darkness; during this time Neelix was keeping the Borg children entertained with a ghost story of the events. (VOY: "The Haunting of Deck Twelve")
