Stardate 48892.1: The Doctor is activated during a Kazon attack, only to find that the crew has left the ship. B'Elanna, however, arrives in sickbay, telling the Doctor that Janeway needs medical aid on the bridge. She transfers his program to the bridge, which is possible thanks to newly installed holoemitters. He then helps Neelix to fend off a Kazon attacker in the mess hall, upon which he discovers that he is bleeding. The Doctor examines himself and registers as a lifeform on the tricorder, whereas everyone else doesn't. Lt. Barclay from Jupiter Station appears, telling the Doctor that he is actually Lewis Zimmerman, a human engineer working on the station and married to a woman named Kes. According to Barclay, Zimmerman is trapped in his holodeck creation of a starship named Voyager. Barclay tries to convince the Doctor that he can only escape the illusion if he ends the program by destroying the ship. On the real starship Voyager, the crew succeed in isolating the Doctor's program, which was trapped on the holodeck after a kinoplasmic radiation surge.
