I actually really liked this one from the start with it’s well directed teaser. But then it’s written by the same guy who wrote DS9’s In The Pale Moonlight so I shouldn’t be surprised.
Voyager is boarded by a Devore inspection team who are looking for telepaths. The leader is Kashyk who despite being too small to be inhabitable to wookies, transports directly into Janeways ready room where they flirt and she tells him Tuvok and Vorik died in a shuttle accident (She’ll admit anything to an interested guy). Eventually the team leave and Tuvok and Vorik, along with telepathic refugees who they’ve been in the transporter buffer with, are beamed into the cargo bay. They resume their course to find a wormhole for the refugees by searching for the scientist who knows the location (Why the Devore didn’t do this is anyones guess). Before they do, Kashyk turns up saying he wants to defect. Unsure if it’s a trap or not, Janeway grants Kashyk limited freedom of the ship and they embark on a cautious romance (A Cautious Romance does sound like a Young Adult novel). Eventually they find the wormhole and Kashyk says “Aha! It’s was a trap all the time” and Janeway says “Aha! Yeagh we knew.” fooling him with barrels of vegetables in the transporter buffer instead.
The scientist they find gives Janeway the location to the last four wormhole appearances and says that if she’s as good a scientist as she says it should be easy to find. I guess not then since we cut to the next scene where Janeway is in front of the computer as it calculates it.
