Synopsis: The Voyager encounters the U.S.S. Equinox, which was also trapped in the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker. When Captain Janeway learns that the Equinox crew has been killing alien life forms and extracting nucleogenic energy from their bodies to get back to the Alpha Quadrant, she arrests Captain Ransom and the Equinox crew.

While the Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram is investigating the Equinox science lab, his autonomous mobile emitter is stolen by the Equinox E.M.H., whose ethical subroutines have been deleted. The Equinox E.M.H. impersonates the Voyager E.M.H. and frees the Equinox crew, who steal shield components from the Voyager to protect themselves from the aliens they've been killing.
