Stardate N.G.   As they ready for a first encounter with the Bothan alien species, a strange psionic field causes the U.S.S. Voyager crew to succumb to a delusional state and their most deeply buried thoughts surface. During this ordeal, the characters in Janeway's holonovel program become real, and her beloved Mark appears; Paris faces off with his disparaging father, the Admiral; Kim is finally reunited with his girlfriend, Libby; Tuvok talks to his Vulcan wife, T'Pel; and Torres is seduced by Chakotay. The ship is effectively disabled and it's up to an unaffected Kes and The Doctor to block the mysterious field.
