When the crew finds a deactivated humanoid robot floating in space, Lt.
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 construction of more units. In accordance with 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.
A B'Elanna story with some good acting. Otherwise a fairly
average story, not too exciting. Rating 6.5/10.

Alliances 6.5
Episode 30
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, its eminently clear that there are no rules in this region of space. Unbeknownst to Voyager, there
is a traitor in their midst.
Another Kazon story. Some good Janeway moments, but not
as good and intriguing as Maneuvers. A bit too Starfleet preachy and too much "not a good idea" Chakotay.
Rating 6.5/10.
