Neelix and Naomi enter the Messhall, collect refreshments and make their way to a table for two. Along the way, Naomi says: "I was thinking..." Neelix: "Oh?" Naomi: "It's time I carried my weight around here." Neelix: "Ah. They could use a hand in the airponics bay." Now seated, she tells him: "I was thinking more of the Bridge." Neelix surmises: "Captain's Assistant."
Naomi: "Will I get to fly the ship?" Neelix: "Well, you'd have to take it up with the Captain."
At this point Naomi sees Seven, Kim and another crewmember entering the Messhall. Seven is holding a PADD. She informs the crewmember: "You need to check the internal sensors."
Naomi gives a loud whispered urgent alert: "Neelix, don't move." Neelix: "What's wrong?" Naomi: "The Borg lady!" She is frightened. Neelix: "She has a name, you know." Naomi: "'Seven of Nine, tertiary adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One'. Don't look! She'll assimilate you."
Neelix: "Naomi, Seven is a nice person and she's a valuable member of this crew." Naomi: "I don't want to be in her collective." Neelix: "I don't think there's much danger of that." Kim comes up to the table. Kim: "Hey, Neelix. Hey, Naomi." To Neelix: "Neelix, can I talk with you?" Neelix: "I'll be right back."
He and Kim move away from the table to talk in private. Kim: "The Sickbay's running short on emergency medkits. We're going to need a few more if we send another away team after the shuttle." Neelix: "I've got half a dozen stockpiled in Cargo Bay 2."
Kim: "How is she?" Neelix: "On the Naomi anxiety scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is a touch of insomnia and 10 is a panic attack: about 5."

Meanwhile Seven approaches Naomi's table. "Is this chair occupied?" she asks, meaning Neelix's empty chair. Naomi is too scared to say anything. When she does not answer, Seven states: "'Yes' or 'No' would suffice."

Naomi, panicking: "No. I mean, yes." Seven: "Explain." Naomi, panicking even more: "You can't sit here! Somebody else is sitting here!" Seven: "Very well." Seven moves away.

Neelix returns to the table. "So. I thought we'd pay another visit to Sickbay. The Doctor says he has time to give you a botany lesson. What's wrong?" Naomi: "I am Borg." Neelix: "Ha, no you're not!"

He laughs, and his manner makes her forget Seven and the Borg. Naomi: "Can we go to the Holodeck first? I want to play another Flotter story." Neelix: "Well, the Doctor's expecting you." Naomi: "I don't like Sickbay." Neelix: "Why not?" Naomi: "It's full of creepy things - alien organs and hyposprays." Neelix: "Well, that's not true." Naomi: "And the Doctor talks too much." Neelix: "Well, that's his way." Naomi: "Can we reprogram him or something?" Neelix: "Oh, I don't think he'd like that very much. Come on." Cheerful again, Naomi leaves with Neelix.

The Delta Flyer is caught in the ion storm.
Paris: "Rumour has it there's a planetoid around here." Samantha: "Sorry, Tom, the storm is throwing off my readings. There's definitely a big rock nearby, I just can't find it."
Tuvok: "The wavefront is accelerating." Paris: "How long 'til it hits us?" Tuvok: "Less than two minutes." Paris: "Great. Gives me less than 30 seconds to land this thing. Samantha, I don't mean to rush you-" Samantha: "Got it. Class-M atmosphere, nickel-iron core, bemonite mantle." Paris: "Bemonite? I want to land this shuttle not bury it."
Samantha: "73,000 kilometres, bearing 0 mark 4." Tuvok: "We've entered the upper atmosphere." Samantha: "Nothing but impact craters, volcanoes. We can't land here." Tuvok: "The storm is closing. Increasing shields to maximum." Paris to Samantha: "Just keep us away from the volcanoes and we'll be ok." Samantha: "I've got a big meteor crater, 500 kilometres across, 3.7 deep." Paris: "I'll take it."
Tuvok: Starboard thrusters are down." Paris: "Tuvok, if you don't have something positive to say-" Samantha: "We're coming in too fast!" Paris: "Hang on!"
The Delta Flyer crashes. Afterwards Paris looks up to see that there is rock above them.
He himself is not hurt, and he comments: "The Flyer has landed."
Tuvok, who also is not hurt, gets up and goes over the Samantha. He looks at Paris: "She needs immediate medical assistance."

The crashed Delta Flyer.

Samantha: "What happened?" Paris scans her with a medical tricorder.
Paris: "We made it." Samantha: "Delta Flyer's first landing. Where-" Paris: "About 3 kilometres beneath the surface. At least our primary hull's still in one piece." Samantha: "Wish I felt the same." Paris: "You'll be alright. Minor concussion, a few fractures. Nothing I can't handle."
Samantha: "You're a great nurse but you're a lousy liar." Paris: "You've got a punctured kidney and you're bleeding internally. You need surgery." Samantha: "Voyager?" Tuvok: "I've transmitted another distress call. No response." Paris: "It's all this rock." Samantha: "I've got to talk to Naomi, let her know we're ok." She tries to get up but is unable to." Tuvok: "Conserve your strength, Ensign. Mr Paris and I have the situation under control." Paris: "Nice bedside manner, Tuvok. Sam, I'm going to give you a mild sedative and something for the pain." hypospray injection
Paris consults privately with Tuvok. Paris: "Any chance we could abandon the shuttle? Make our way on foot? Tuvok: "Unlikely. Not only are we buried under several kilotonnes of rock but the atmosphere in this cavern is flooded with fluorine gas." Paris: "Nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the view."

Janeway: "Captain's log, supplemental. We've weathered the ion storm and tracked the Delta Flyer to an M-Class planetoid." The screenshot shows Voyager orbiting the planetoid.
On Voyager's bridge. Kim: "I'm picking up a residual impulse signature in the upper atmosphere." Chakotay: "Try to pinpoint their location."
Janeway to Neelix: "How's our littlest crewmember?" Neelix: "She misses her mother but I don't think she suspects anything. I was just about to take her to the Holodeck for some story-telling." Janeway: "Call me an optimist, Neelix, but I'm still counting on a happy ending." Neelix: "Me too."
Kim: "Got it. The impulse wake leads to the northern hemisphere. Co-ordinates one twenty-one mark sixteen." Janeway: "Any sign of them?" Kim: "Plasma fires. Hull fragments. Either they vapourised on impact or they're buried beneath the surface."
Neelix: "Any lifesigns? Maybe they beamed out before the crash." Janeway: "Harry, anything?" Kim: "Nothing." Janeway to Neelix: "We built the Delta Flyer to take a lot of punishment. I'm betting it held together."
Janeway orders Chakotay: "Commander, take rescue teams down to that crater. If sensors can't find them we'll have to do it the hard way." Chakotay acknowledges and signals Kim to join him: "Harry."
