Storyline

Voyager's sensors detect a rare particle capable of damaging subspace and nullifying warp travel. Under a classified directive known only to Starfleet captains and above, Janeway leads Voyager on a mission to destroy all traces of that particle, but Seven of Nine hesitates to destroy it, sharing the Borg reverence of it as the embodiment of perfection.

User Reviews

Seven versus Janeway

Janeway knows of something called the Omega Directive. Apparently, there is a molecule that has immense power. It has been reproduced and is on the verge of a destructive vent. At first Janeway is quite secretive, but at the insistence of Chakotay, she changes her mind and lets her officers in. Seven has a different view of what to do because she is aware of Omega from the Borg's dealings with it. She butts heads with the Captain. She feels how inferior everyone is and is frustrated when they outrank her. Entertaining episode but leaves us wth unanswered questions.
