Plot summary
The Federation starship Voyager is transporting members of a telepathic race, the Enarans, to their homeworld. Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres begins experiencing intense dreams in which she is a young Enaran woman named Korenna having a forbidden love affair. The dreams seem real, more like memories, and they become increasingly disturbing and dangerous, forcing Torres to seek answers from the Enaran passengers.
She learns that her dreams are actual memories being projected to her by Jora Mirell, one of the visiting Enarans, who was formerly named Korenna. The memories are of Korenna's relationship in her youth with Dathan, a member of the "Regressives", a group that preferred not to use technology but instead to live a simple life. The Regressives were deported and executed in a program of genocide. The Enarans, however, covered up the genocide by teaching succeeding generations that the Regressives brought about their own demise.
On Voyager, Torres visits Korenna's quarters, and finds her dying from what she claims is a murder to continue the conspiracy. Before dying, she projects the ending of the story to Torres — how her father turned her lover over to the authorities and she watched his execution.
Torres confronts the Enarans, but they deny wrongdoing. Though the Prime Directive forbids Captain Janeway from interfering, she casually remarks that the last of the Enaran engineers are packing their equipment. Torres rushes to engineering, where she confronts Jessen, an Enaran woman with whom she had become friends, and bemoans the fact that she is unable to project the memories and thus prove their validity. Jessen tells Torres that she is able to connect their minds, and proceeds to do so with Torres. The episode closes with the first 'dream' of all, but now Jessen is the main character.
