 Voyager encounters a non-corporeal, sentient, space-dwelling life-form which is interested in communicating with and learning more about the ship and its people. Too bad it couldn t just say that. As the being passes through the ship, it upsets computer control, communications, and more bizarrely, distorts the physical arrangement of its decks and sections. When the being passes, so does the crew s fear and confusion, and the curious creature deposits a massive chunk of information into Voyager s computer memory banks.
