This was an interesting episode which started off much like a classic murder mystery, although the victims were being put into comas rather than being killed. The victims are all former members of the Maquis leading to a sense of paranoia amongst the remaining members. Tuvok who is in charge of the investigation makes a starling discovery; it turns out that the assailant had no idea that he was responsible, a message from home had triggered mind control programming which had been initiated years ago in the Alpha Quadrant. As the victims begin to wake from their comas and hear a trigger phase they seize control of the ship with the intention of abandoning the Star Fleet crew on a nearby planet; will any of them manage to break their programming before it is too late.
I liked how this episode changed as it went along, I was expecting it to be a simple whodunit but we learnt who was responsible about half way through. Even though the attacker is revealed before the half way point I won't reveal who it was here as I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise.
