After Torres finds a signal indicating that Marayna is controlling the holodeck from a hidden space station, Tuvok beams aboard her cloaked facility, telling the alien Marayna that he will exchange himself for Voyager’s safety but warning her that he is incapable of requiting her feelings. While Marayna hides in the ship’s holographic systems, Janeway and the crew discuss the likelihood of a connection between the self-aware program and the unusual inversion nebula. Realizing that this hologram is an independent intelligence, Tuvok calls for security. The reverse is not true, however, for Marayna transfers her program to Sickbay, steals the Doctor’s portable emitter, and appears in Tuvok’s quarters to express her attraction to him.
At a festive luau in Neelix’s resort program to which the entire crew is invited, Kim becomes jealous of Marayna’s attentions to Tuvok, though Tuvok assures Kim that he has no romantic interest in the hologram. Tuvok finds it odd that a human could believe himself to be in love with a computer subroutine, but when he meets Marayna on the holodeck, he finds himself intrigued by her, since she plays Vulcan games with great skill and understands his desire for isolation. Kim has fallen in love with a hologram named Marayna and wants help controlling his inappropriate emotions. Meanwhile, Kim goes to see Tuvok, who is using the Vulcan strategy game kal-toh as a meditative tool.
Plot Summary: The crew stops to study an inversion nebula, which is expected to ignite spectacularly but there appears to be a dampening field protecting it.
A hologram becomes obsessed with Tuvok and takes control of the ship to be with him.
