Stardate: Unknown[/b] With an asteroid about to enter a planet's atmosphere, Voyager, at the request of the planet's inhabitants, attempts to destroy the asteroid. A perfect hit, however, sends two smaller parts of the asteroid crashing down onto the planet. With a sparsely populated part of the planet shaken by the asteroids' landing, a scientist there, one of the planet's best minds, finds information that is vital to destroying the asteroids. However, the scientist is only willing to talk to the planet's ambassador, who is on Voyager. Taking several shuttlecraft down to the surface, one, containing Tuvok and Neelix, crash lands in an area closest to the scientist's position. With scant time left until a much larger asteroid enters the area, Neelix and Tuvok must work together to bring the scientist back to Voyager.
