This is an unusual one – as it’s a script for an episode that was never made. Imagine what it might have been!

When the USS Voyager enters orbit around a mysterious gas giant, the crew expects a routine standdown and system upgrade. Instead, they encounter a series of inexplicable power outages, a cloaked alien probe, and a silent, featureless cylinder that defies all scans. As Voyager’s resources are mysteriously drained and the ship is beset by self-replicating machines, Captain Janeway and her crew must unravel the motives of these enigmatic “foragers.” Are they under attack, or is Voyager simply the latest target in a vast, automated search for survival? With the ship’s fate hanging in the balance, the crew faces a test of ingenuity, trust, and the very definition of what it means to be explorers—or prey—in a universe full of unknowns.
