"Watchman"- We open on a dramatic shot of a bloodstained Starfleet badge lying on a street as hovercars fly over it. The camera moves upwards to a penthouse apartment with a hole in the window, where two members of the Federation Police are investigating. They exposit that it's 2385. The Voyager returned home to a Federation that had stopped exploring space, believing it too dangerous and assigning unmanned probes to do it instead. All Starfleet personnel were fired, and there was no exception for Voyager's crew when they returned. The crew fell into depression and retreated from the world. The apartment, and ergo the dead body, belonged to Chakotay. Someone has murdered him! The cops leave, and then Tuvok shows up. His logic has deduced this is part of a larger plot, so he rounds up the rest of the crew (except Harry Kim, whose whereabouts are unknown). They steal Voyager out of a museum and try to figure out who killed Chakotay. They discover it was a hired assassin, and they trace his trail to a massive space station at the galactic south pole. Harry Kim is there, and he reveals that he has turned evil! After all his tribulations in the Delta Quadrant, he returned home to find no Starfleet to promote him, leaving him perpetually an ensign! This has made him devoted to trying to reform Starfleet, so he's built a giant fake space monster. He's going to throw it through a wormhole so that it destroys Andoria, and make it look like it came from the Andromeda galaxy. "We'll stop you!" yells Paris, only for Harry to smile malevolently. "You can't," he says, "I did it-", but he's interrupted by the screen shaking. We hear a voice over the intercom, "Commander Tuvok, please report to the bridge." "Computer, end program," Tuvok says, and he leaves the holodeck. "I really should ask the captain to promote Ensign Kim, as this simulation shows what the consequences will be," he says as he leaves.
