## The plot {#the-plot}
Voyager encounters wormhole leading directly to Earth.
Too beautiful to be true?
We learn that it's actually an alien creature that has the ability to project dreams and hopes to people minds, in order to trap them.
Only Seven and Naomi are immune to this, and Voyager enters the wormhole - which in reality is the creature's body.
Inside, we meet Quatai, an alien who has been trapped there for quite some time.
## Impressions {#impressions}
Sometimes POSTE[^fn:1] is all you need.
Nothing out of the ordinary - just a problem in outer space.
This is very much ok.
The basic premise - great; crew on happy pills - perfect; Seven out to get to the bottom of it - ideal; Naomi - still cool.

The creature in all of its glory
{{< /image >}}
The most memorable part of this episode was the reaction of Quatai upon meeting Voyager.
After countless lies and deceptions by the creature, he can no longer accept that a good thing can happen.
He assumes that it's just another ploy to mess with his mind.
When we are in a dump, it's very hard to trust in positives.
This episode also deepens the relation of Seven and Naomi.
They are the only ones on the Voyager _not_ waiting to return to Earth, as Voyager is their true home.
Fascinating.
A good episode.
## Doctor Factor {#doctor-factor}
Reduced to plot machine. Unacceptable!
