Small and nimble alien spacecraft attack Voyager, using high energy transports to break through the ship's shields, scan its contents, and pluck off valuable equipment. Janeway and Tuvok beam down to the pirates' homeworld in search of the ship's main computer. To their surprise, they find Janeway's holographic Leonardo da Vinci, who becomes an essential part of their plans to retrieve the goods and leads them to the pirate king, Tau.
