Description:

Stardate 50984.3: When Voyager approaches Borg territory, the options are to turn around and stay in the Delta Quadrant, or to use the so-called "Northwest Passage", a region which appears to be devoid of Borg activity. Janeway decides in favor of the latter. Soon the crew witnesses how a whole fleet of Borg cubes is destroyed by a so far unknown enemy, who possesses biotechnology impervious to Borg or Federation weapons. Kes receives a telepathic message from them, saying that "the weak will perish." On an away mission to a destroyed Borg cube, Kim is infected with their cells, which begin to eat up his body from within. The Doctor saves his life with the help of modified Borg nanoprobes. The new enemy, known to the Borg as Species 8472, emerges from interspatial rifts in the "Northwest Passage", explaining the lack of Borg activity in the region. As this passage is no longer an option, Janeway develops the daring plan to provide the Borg with knowledge about how to modify their nanoprobes to a weapon against Species 8472, in exchange for Voyager's free passage through Borg territory. Despite Chakotay's objections she orders a course to a Borg-occupied planet. Just as she has been beamed aboard a Borg cube to make her point, a fleet of Species 8472 bioships appears and destroys the whole planet. The Borg cube, along with Voyager caught in its tractor beam, narrowly escapes the inferno. Janeway successfully concludes the talks and stays aboard the cube as a part of the deal. But when the Borg want her to communicate with neural transmitters, she refuses and demands a single drone as a Borg representative to talk to. The Borg agree and send Seven of Nine, a formerly human female. Another Species 8472 ship appears, and the Borg cube protects Voyager and the modified nanoprobes in self-sacrifice after beaming over Janeway, Chakotay and a number of drones to the Federation ship. As Janeway has suffered neural damage, Chakotay takes over command. Seven of Nine demands to reverse course to join with another Borg cube. But Chakotay refuses and ultimately announces the end of the alliance he never wanted. The drones tamper with Voyager's deflector and open a spatial rift to the realm of Species 8472, to trigger a direct confrontation and test the new weapon. Chakotay orders to decompress the deck with the drones, but Seven of Nine survives. When Chakotay asks how she could known how to enter the realm of Species 8472, she admits that the Borg started the war against them. In the meantime Janeway has recovered. She tells Seven of Nine that Chakotay has been confined to the brig, and that she will install the weapon and fight Species 8472. The test is successful. All attacking Species 8472 ships are destroyed. When more bioships follow Voyager into normal space, Janeway orders to release a weapon of mass destruction that obliterates the whole fleet. The Borg report that Species 8472 retreats from Borg space. When Seven of Nine attempts to take over Voyager, Chakotay creates a neural link with her and thereby disrupts her connection with the Collective. Janeway decides to keep her aboard Voyager.
