Concludes the storyline started in the fifth season finale, "Equinox". Seven of Nine must try to stop Captain Ransom from getting too far away from Voyager from within the Equinox, where she was left stranded at the end of "Equinox I". On Voyager, Janeway, whose life was put in peril at the end of the first part, must try to establish communication with the alien beings in order to prevent the Equinox's continued exploitation of them. Outraged at Ransom's betrayal of Starfleet, the Federation and Voyager, Janeway becomes consumed by her vendetta against him and begins using reckless, dangerous tactics to stop him which cast her morals in as much doubt as Ransom's own tactics, such that there will be a falling out between Janeway and Chakotay so large that he considers staging a mutiny. On the Equinox, Seven of Nine's presence on board begins instilling second thoughts into Ransom about his acts. To get information out of Seven of Nine, he strips Voyager's own EMH (still aboard the Equinox) of his own ethical subroutines in order to do a ruthless procedure on Seven of Nine. And contrary to rumor (see below), Voyager's EMH will not be irrevocably lost. In fact, Voyager's Doctor has a hand in deleting his Equinox counterpart. Some crewmembers do come aboard Voyager and will apparently be confined to the Brig, at first. They will be stripped of their rank, busted down to crewmen and will have to earn the trust of Voyager's crew before they are allowed to participate on Voyager. Although speculation favors Ensign Marla Gilmore (Olivia Birkelund), some rumors say that it will be Noah Lessing (Rick Worthy). The rumor that Voyager's EMH will be replaced by Equinox' EMH is confirmed false!
