Stardate not given: Tuvok, Tom Paris and Samantha Wildman are on a mission with the Delta Flyer when an ion storm hits the shuttle. Tom finds a planetoid to land on, but the Delta Flyer ends up buried in solid rock. Neelix, who takes care of Naomi Wildman, distracts her with all kinds of entertainment, including the Flotter holoprogram. Even though there is not much hope of finding her mother alive, Neelix holds back the truth from Naomi. But Naomi discovers what is going on on the ship and seeks refuge in her holoprogram. Just as another ion storm is approaching, the Delta Flyer and its crew can be salvaged in the nick of time, and Naomi is reunited with her mother.
