Star Trek Voyager

Hope and Fear

Episode 94 - First shown in USA May 20, 1998

Tom Paris on the bridge The badly damaged encoded message received from Starfleet Command five months ago is finally translated by Arturis, an alien passenger recently invited onboard, whose species has a great affinity for language. The directive brings the U.S.S. Voyager to a spacecraft, emitting a distinctive Starfleet warp signature, but totally unlike any Starfleet vessel known. With a propulsion system faster than warp speed, the ship is capable of bringing the U.S.S. Voyager crew to Earth, crossing 60,000 light years, within just three months. The crew is elated, but Captain Janeway expresses caution, even though they are all secretly hoping to be home very, very soon. While the crew's excitement grows, so does Seven of Nine's anxiety about living among billions of humans. She asks Captain Janeway to let her depart the U.S.S. Voyager and roam the Delta Quadrant on her own.
