Storyline

Neelix becomes very agitated as Voyager begins a full shutdown prior to entering a peculiar astronomical nebula. Left in charge of calming the recently rescued Borg children, Neelix encourages the young ones around a 24th century "campfire" for stories. Neelix recounts a story from Voyager's recent past that is strangely reminiscent of the current situation.

Trivia

Deck 13 is rarely mentioned throughout the show. It's mentioned here, around the 14 minute mark, perhaps an allusion to the spooky subject matter.

Goofs

When Tuvok is guiding Neelix through meditation he says "Imagine your lungs filling with light." Tuvok is very aware that Neelix had surgery and only has one lung.

Quotes

Icheb: I wonder what the crew of the Salvoxia did for food, after their emergency rations were gone.
Mezoti: Maybe they ate each other.
Neelix: All right, uh, that's enough!

Master Storytelling

I won't go into all the science (as if I could), but suffice it to say that in order to send an alien life form back to a nebula, Voyager must plunge everything into darkness. The Borg kids come out of regeneration and Neelix has been given the task of looking out for them. They are incredibly smart, so his task is quite hard. When they immediately become bored, Neelix tells them he will confide in them the story of what happened to Voyager before they came on board. He launches into wild tale of a gaseous life form taking over the ship and pushing the crew to their very limits. We are aware that this may or may not be a story. We ourselves may have been left in the dark. The story is exciting and shows what a gift our imaginations are. Neelix is so annoying and those kids are hard to take at times, but this worked really well.
