"Prototype"
UK Tape 2.5 - Episode 1
When the crew finds a deactivated humanoid robot with an unfamiliar
power source floating in space, Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres is able
to repair this mysterious mechanical "man." When it comes to
"life," the sentient artificial lifeform, Automated Unit 3947,
explains that its kind is near extinction and asks Torres to build a prototype
for the construction of more units. In accordance with the Prime Directive,
Torres must decline the request, but when 3947's Pralor homeship is located,
the robot abducts her and threatens to destroy Voyager unless she constructs
the prototype.
"Alliances"
UK Tape 2.5 - Episode 2
After Voyager is severely attacked by Kazon and one of its crewmen
killed, Chakotay appeals to Janeway to start thinking more like the Maquis.
Janeway knows she must strengthen Voyager's position in the quadrant and,
although it's a difficult decision and is against her beliefs and training,
she agrees to take steps toward a strategic alliance with leaders of several
Kazon factions. When they come together for a conference, it's eminently
clear that there are no rules in this region of space.
