Upon completing a routine shipwide efficiency analysis,
Seven of Nine determines that three of Voyager's young crewmembers are unable
to perform at acceptable levels. Normally after six months or a year, a
crewmember that has been assigned to a Starship will simply be reassigned
to a less challenging Federation vessel if their limitations cannot be corrected.
However, this is not an option since the three crewmembers are stranded
in the Delta Quadrant on Voyager.
When Captain Janeway becomes aware of the situation, she decides to take
the three young crewmembers on an away mission with her aboard the Delta
Flyer. The first of the trio is Celes, an Astrometrics assistant who constantly
has to have all of her work double-checked. Crewman Mortimer Harren has
five advanced degrees in Theoretical Cosmology, but would rather spend
his time down on Deck 15 and figure out the origin of the universe. Finally
there is William Telfer, a Security Officer and hypochondriac who visits
Sickbay weekly and is afraid of medication.
