Later, on Voyager's bridge, Kim reports: "I've located the source of the S.O.S signal. It's coming from a planet in a star system bearing 310 mark 215." Janeway: "Mr Paris, lay in a course." Paris: "Aye, Captain." Janeway: "Why didn't we pick up this signal earlier?" Kim: "This isn't one of the standard frequencies we monitor. Messages on this channel only travel at the speed of light - too slow for interstellar communications."
	Paris: "Course laid in, Captain." Janeway: "Warp six. Engage."
	Voyager jumps to warp.

Later, on Voyager's bridge, a member of the Bridge personnel speaking with Paris tells him: "I'll run a diagnostic check, sir," before leaving Paris to carry it out.
They reach the location. Janeway orders: "Bring us out of warp. Full scan, Mr Kim."
Kim: "The S.O.S. signal is coming from the third planet. It's Class L - argon-oxygen atmosphere."
Janeway: "Any lifesigns?"
Kim: "There's a great deal of trinimbic interference in the upper atmosphere. I can't get a clear reading of the surface."
Chakotay: "Can you pinpoint the co-ordinates of the distress call?"
Kim: "Yes, here it is. It's coming from a continent in the northern hemisphere."
Chakotay: "We won't be able to transport through this kind of interference. I might be able to take an away team in a shuttlecraft."
Tuvok: "That would not be wise, Commander, as the atmosphere is charged with trinimbic turbulence, a shuttlecraft could not safely navigate the currents."
Janeway: "We could land the ship."
Chakotay: "Are you sure that's necessary?"
Janeway: "Someone on this planet's sending out a distress call."
Chakotay: "If that someone is as old as that truck in the cargo bay they're long dead by now."
Kim: "This might be an automated distress call."
Janeway: "Possibly, but something brought that truck halfway across the galaxy, and that something might be down on the planet."
Chakotay: "And if it brought the truck here it might be able to take us home too."
Janeway: "I'd say it's worth a look. Mr Paris, prepare the ship for landing."

Paris: "Captain, I think I should tell you: I've never actually landed a starship before." Janeway: "That's alright, Lieutenant, neither have I." Via comms: "Bridge to Engineering. We're going to land the ship, Miss Torres. Take the warp core offline, vent all plasma from the nacelles and stand by to engage atmospheric thrusters." Torres, via comms: "Aye, Captain."

	Tuvok taps his combadge. combadge He announces to all personnel: "This is Lieutenant Tuvok to all decks. We are preparing to land the ship. Go to blue alert and report to code blue stations."
	Paris: "I've plotted a descent course. How close do you want to land to the distress co-ordinates?" Janeway: "No closer than two kilometres." Paris: "Ok. Atmospheric controls at standby. Landing mechanisms online. Inertial dampers at maximum." Tuvok: "All decks report condition blue, Captain." Janeway: "Put her down, Mr Paris."

Voyager descends through the atmosphere. Janeway: "Status?" Paris: "We're on the glide trajectory, altitude 100 kilometres, speed 10,000 k.p.h. We're encountering some trinimbic turbulence; compensating."

	Kim: "We have an EM discharge in the lateral relays. I'm re-routing the ODN conduit. Another EM discharge. I think we're alright, though." Paris: "20 kilometres to the landing site. We should be able to see it now."

As Voyager comes in for the descent approach, Janeway orders: "Extend landing struts. Prepare to release inertial dampers and adjust them to match the planet's gravity." Accordingly the support feet are activated and they move down into position.

	Paris: "Landing struts down and locked." Kim: "Standing by environmental controls.
	Paris whispers to himself: "Here we go." Voyager lands.

Paris: "Disengaging engines. Securing thruster exhaust." Breathing a sigh of relief: "We're down."

Janeway's joke relieves Paris' tension: "Not bad, for a beginner."
