Voyager
spots a Cardassian designed, self-guided missile carrying a warhead capable
of significant destructive force. As it travels toward Rakosan, a heavily
populated planet, Torres reports that she's partly responsible for its virtually
unstoppable status. When she was aMaquis, she intercepted the missile and
changed
its program to assault its own makers, but it later went astray and now
she's the only hope in stopping it. So Torres volunteers to transport to
the missile's interior and reprogram it again. But before she can detonate
the warhead, the onboard computer tries to destroy her first, meanwhile
Jonas transmits classified information on the missle to Seska.
When the onboard computer of the missle depletes contact with Voyager
a nd
Torres, Janeway decides to put the ship on self-destruct and collide with
the missle. Torres finds a way to communicate with the ship telling Janeway
that she is in the process of destroying the missle. Her attempt is successful
and is beamed aboard Voyager when the vessel is destroyed. Janeway then
stands down the self-destruct sequence.
