An exploratory mission results in an accident that
kills Neelix, whose body is then "reactivated" by Seven of Nine
and Borg technology, bringing the restored Neelix to question the purpose
of his life.
N eelix
is preparing a shipboard feast on the eve of Prixin, the Talaxian celebration
of family, when he is asked by Chakotay to join him and Paris on a shuttle
mission. Neelix is all too glad to help, but the assignment proves to
be fatal for him. Upon the shuttle's return to the U.S.S. Voyager, Seven
of Nine, citing Neelix's diverse functions within the crew, applies Borg
technology to reactivate him. Alive and shaken by his death, Neelix questions
his assumptions about life, and the promised afterlife, as the Prixin
festivities commence.
