[Report This]Date: 18 Sep 2010 11:22 Title: Chapter 6
A desperate gambit on Chakotay's part, taking on Species 8472 solo. Having to stun your captain, though... that's got to be difficult, even when faced with a mortal crisis and knowing you're acting to save her life and the lives of your fellow shipmates.
Jaerok remains as big an imbecile as he first appeared in the bar, and being sober doesn't seem to have improved his judgment any. Thankfully for Voyager's crew, Jaerok's foolishness saved their intellects from the effects of the lobotomizing lasers.
Their escape was a near thing, and kudos to Chakotay for risking the Effluvium rather than attempt to turn the ship around. The act certainly cost him, and hopefully that price wouldn't include the commander's life.
Here's hoping Janeway's in a forgiving mood when she awakens, or Chakotay's going to wish he'd got a more substantial dose of the acid!
This was a dramatic, nail-biting escape!
