(They crawl to another junction.)
NEELIX: It's so hot. My head is spinning.
NEELIX: It's so hot. My head is spinning.
NEELIX: Lung.
JANEWAY: I'm not going to leave you here, Neelix.
NEELIX [OC]: Help! Captain!
JANEWAY: I'm coming Neelix!
She goes down the ladder.
She goes down the ladder.
(She heads back down with a hypo in her hand. Neelix screams.)
JANEWAY: Neelix!
(Neelix has gone. A trail of mucus leads back down the Jefferies tube.)
(Janeway goes to Engineering, but it is deserted. She can hear a noise somewhere and climbs the ladder to the upper level around the warp core. A large case is there, and it contains weaponry. She strips down to her undershirt, keeping her comm. badge, and fills a backpack with small metal items. Finally she takes a hand phaser, a knife, and a phaser rifle. Ripley Janeway locks and loads, ready for bear.)
[Bridge]
(Janeway has to force the turbolift doors to open properly. There is no one on the bridge, but there is mucus on the walls. As she works at a wall panel in an auxiliary Science station alcove, something buzzing rises up from behind the helm. The monitor says Distress Signal Protocol ready to encode.)
JANEWAY: This is Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Starship Voyager to anyone within range. My ship has been seized by unknown lifeforms. Require any and all assistance.
(Transmitting on all subspace channels. Something bites her on the left arm. She squashes it. The monitor says it is scanning for lifeforms on all decks. Janeway runs a medical device over the bite, then the computer reports Lifesigns Located. Some are near the stern of the vessel, and some below the bridge.)
[Mess hall]
(The mess hall is full of unconscious people, mostly at tables. They have mucus on their skin, along with nasty boils.)
JANEWAY: Harry. Harry.
(Kim wheezes for breath.)
JANEWAY: Oh, Chakotay.
(Tiny insects fly out of the boil on Chakotay's neck, then a massive three tentacled thing flies at Janeway, throwing her over a table. It prepares to dive at her with its central injector ready, and she blasts it into pieces. Clutching her side, she runs out into the corridor and into a turbolift.)
[Sickbay]
(A sweaty Janeway uses a magnetic clamp to open the sickbay doors but is stopped when a hand puts a phaser at her throat.)
JANEWAY: Neelix!

JANEWAY: Doctor, what's going on? What are those ow!
EMH: You've ruptured your dorsal extensor muscle and bruised two ribs. I'm going to have to perform minor surgery. Lie on your side and try to remain perfectly still.
JANEWAY: Tell me what's happened.
JANEWAY: A macrovirus?
EMH: A form of life I've never encountered or even imagined.
JANEWAY: What about the crew?
