__NOTOC__ "Cold Fire" is the 26th episode of ''Star Trek: Voyager'', the tenth episode in the second season. ==Plot== Kes and the Doctor notice a peculiar change in the remains of the Caretaker, the alien who trapped ''Voyager'' in the Delta Quadrant. They seem to be resonating in response to an unusual energy source. Remembering that the dying Caretaker had mentioned a female of his kind, Janeway wonders if she could be nearby. If so, a meeting with her could be their ticket home. As a precaution, Tuvok develops a toxin that could debilitate the female lifeform if she poses a threat. Following the energy trail, the crew comes upon a space-station inhabited by Ocampa, who fire on the ship. Kes agrees to act as the crew's liaison to her people, and when the Ocampa leader, Tanis, boards ''Voyager'', she assures him that the crew comes in peace. In a private meeting, Tanis tells Kes that the female Nacene, Suspiria, is nearby. She has taken care of this group of Ocampa for 300 years, and has taught them to develop their psychokinetic skills. He shows Kes a sample of the powerful abilities she has yet to tap. Later, Tanis communicates with Suspiria, who demands that he deliver ''Voyager'' to her. As Tanis leads the crew to Suspiria, he tutors Kes on her telepathic-skills. The lessons nearly end in disaster when Kes tries to boil water with her mind and, to her horror, inadvertently boils Tuvok's blood instead. He collapses, writhing in agony. Fortunately, Tuvok recovers from the near-fatal incident. Kes realizes the full potential of her mental-powers when her mind causes the plants in the aeroponics bay to burn up. Tanis urges Kes to leave ''Voyager'' and live on the Ocampa space-station, where he says she will be embraced by Suspiria and surrounded by her own people. Suspiria, who believes the lies spread by the Kazon and others about ''Voyager'', comes aboard. She tells Janeway that she will destroy them in retaliation for the crew's having killed the Caretaker. By the time Kes becomes aware of her monstrous plot, Suspiria has already attacked several officers. Kes, in turn, attacks Tanis with her expanded psychic abilities, and Tanis's pain temporarily incapacitates Suspiria. Janeway is then able to fire the toxin, subduing her. Janeway allows Suspiria and Tanis to leave the ship, while Kes remains with her friends on ''Voyager''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cold Fire (Star Trek: Voyager)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
