 Lieutenants Paris, Torres, and Durst are imprisoned by the Vidiians. In an attempt to develop a cure for the phage, a Vidiian doctor splits the bi-racial Torres into two people; one Klingon and one Human. The two Torres  escape the prison compound, but the Klingon Torres is fatally injured protecting the weaker, Human Torres. The Doctor tells the Human that she will not survive unless he re-integrates her Klingon DNA. Before her death, the Klingon Torres tells her weaker half that saving her life makes her death honorable.
