Stardate 49005.3: Chakotay is alone on a shuttle when he is suddenly attacked by a small Kazon vessel. Chakotay manages to outmaneuver and destroy the attacking vessel and rescues its pilot, a teenage Kazon boy named Kar, who was attempting to earn his name in battle. The two are captured by the Kazon-Ogla, however. On the Kazon ship, First Maje Razik wants Chakotay to execute Kar for his failure. But Chakotay points the gun at Razik and escapes together with Kar. The two have to abandon the heavily damaged shuttle and beam themselves onto the surface of a moon that serves as a Kazon training ground. In the meantime Janeway has arrived with an away team, but Razik and his people lure them into a trap and find Chakotay and the boy first. Chakotay gives Kar the chance to earn Razik's respect by shooting at him in the front of Razik. Kar, however, chooses to kill Razik instead, thereby earning his Ogla name.
