Captain Janeway, Seven of Nine, and Harry Kim work to shut down the Holodeck simulation set in occupied France during World War II that the Hirogens started and expanded while also trying to restore the rest of the crew's identities.

Stardate: 51781.2 - Voyager is forced out of warp when it detects the most powerful substance known to exist called "Omega," which only Janeway and Seven of Nine know about onboard the ship. The Borg experimented with "Omega" in the past. Due to the nature of the particle, a top-secret Starfleet directive gives knowledge of it only to Starfleet Captains and orders its destruction at all costs because the unstable molecule has the power to destroy subspace. Janeway must enlist the help of the senior crew on a need-to-know basis to destroy it safely.
