When
First Officer Chakotay borrows a Shuttlecraft to perform the Pakra, a solitary
Indian ritual commemorating his father's death, he inadvertently drifts
into Kazon-Olga territory and becomes the target of a Kazon youth attempting
to earn his Olga warrior name by killing the Federation enemy.
Striking
back, Chakotay disarms and destroys the Kazon ship, but not before rescuing
the young boy named Kar, the only surviving lifeform is transported aboard
the Shuttlecraft. Soon, the two are pulled via tractor beam aboard a larger
Kazon vessel sent to investigate the explosion. Led by Razik and Haliz,
the Kazon-Ogla hold Chakotay prisoner during which he learns that because
Kar has failed in his first mission, he doesn't earn his name and is sentenced
to die... by Chakotay's hands.
Meanwhile, fearing their mission comrade is in danger, the Voyager, with
Kes and Neelix providing their expertise on Kazon, sets out to find Chakotay.
