"A fitting end, for a people who would not share their technology. Now lets see if you manage to survive... without it."
In an emergency message to Chakotay, Seska discloses that their newborn son has been banished by Culluh to a servant colony. Chakotay feels conflicted about rescuing the baby because he was manipulated into fatherhood by Seska. When the crew detects a distress signal from a Kazon shuttle, they transport aboard the critically injured Teirna, a former aide to Seska, who delivers the news that Culluh has killed Seska. So, with Teirna restricted to secured quarters, the U.S.S. Voyager heads on a rescue mission through the Kazon Nistrim territory where Kazon raiders viciously attack the ship. Before long, the fierce battle is over and the U.S.S. Voyager crew has lost outwitted by their most bitter foe. Surrounded and defenseless, Janeway must give up the ship to the Kazon.

The crew must accept that they have been tricked by Culluh who relishes taking the helm of the U.S.S. Voyager. At his side is an alive and well Seska who taunts Chakotay with their son. Then, the Kazon abandon the 148 member U.S.S. Voyager crew on the surface of Hanon Four, a primitive, ferocious planet. Stripped of their technology, they must use the most basic skills to survive. While they watch helplessly, their enemy lifts off the surface with their ship, but unbeknownst to the Kazon two starfleet crew members are stowed away on board.
