The
U.S.S. Voyager crew are unwitting research subjects after scientists of
the Voth race, saurian-like aliens who believe they were the first intelligent
beings to evolve in the Delta Quadrant, discover the human remains of a
U.S.S. Voyager crewman (Lieutenant Hogan killed in the episode "Basics,
Part II") and find a genetic pattern similar to their own. When Gegen,
the chief researcher, suggests that based on these findings, the true origin
of the Voth is Earth, their leader, Minister Odala, deems him a heretic.
To prove his theory, Gegen and his assistant Veer track down the U.S.S.
Voyager, infiltrate the ship and take their next research subject, Chakotay,
hostage.
