Torres' crewmates are alarmed when she repeatedly engages in reckless activity including orbital skydiving. Meanwhile, after the USS Voyager directs its probe into a hazardous atmosphere, protecting it from a Malon freighter, Lt. Paris launches a newly constructed, all environment shuttlecraft, to retrieve it.

A new Starfleet vessel, the Delta Flyer, features an ultra-aerodynamic design with a Borg-inspired weapons system. Originally designed by Tom Paris as a warp-powered, ultra-responsive, twenty-fourth century "hot rod," it has traditional Starfleet design elements and some completely unique features - the result of the crew's diverse backgrounds.
