[edit] Plot summary
An away mission on an uninhabited planet find a small spaceship, crashed and damaged. Upon finding that its programming is fully sentient and in distress, the Doctor asks that the crew rescue it and return it to its people.
The artificial intelligence's memory is damaged, and it cannot tell them even what its function is; however it is soon found to be a weapon of mass destruction. At the Doctor's behest, Captain Janeway keeps the missile aboard, but orders B'Elanna Torres and Harry Kim to disarm it before it remembers what it is.
However, during the procedure, the intelligence takes over the Doctor's holomatrix and traps Kim and Torres in sickbay. Threatening to detonate, it orders the Captain to take it to its target. While the rest of the crew look for ways to disable the intelligence, Kim tries to reason with it.
