B'Elanna
puts herself at great risk to retrieve Voyager's only remaining unmanned
probe from an ion storm, which does more damage to her shuttle than it does
to the probe. After an emergency landing, a piece of debris is found imbedded
in her shuttle's hull - a piece of metal with the symbol of the Klingon
Empire on it, which Chakotay presents to B'Elanna. She disregards the object
- which has been determined to be several centuries old - until it appears
to bleed, and she hears voices speaking Klingon. This potentially important
archaeological find inspires a Klingon celebration - and some odd behavior,
at least from B'Elanna's perspective. Tuvok,
while demonstrating hitherto unknown prowess with the bat'leth, injures
B'Elanna with it and embarks on an uncharacteristically vehement lecture
about her dishonor of her culture. During the party itself, B'Elanna is
helpless to watch as Klingon assassins appear in the crowd, slicing her
crewmates down one by one. And then she is dragged to the Barge of the Dead,
which ferries dishonored souls to Grethor, the Klingon hell - and B'Elanna
is not alone, for her mother arrives shortly afterward. But when B'Elanna
suddenly awakens in sick bay, it turns out that everything - even the crash-landing
of the shuttle - was part of an elaborate vision, a near-death experience
triggered by the real ion storm. B'Elanna can only deduce that her mother
has died, and it is now up to the engineer to retrieve her from Grethor
and deliver her to the gates of Sto'vo'kor. |
