Prophecy

Voyager encounters a group of nomadic Klingons aboard a generational ship. These Klingons left the Alpha Quadrant over 80 years earlier, in search of a saviour who would one day lead them to a new homeworld, and their leader believes that Tom and B'Elanna's unborn child is this saviour.

The Klingon ship fires on Voyager until Janeway is able to convince them that Klingons and the Federation are currently at peace with one another.

The Klingon who beamed aboard to discuss this with Janeway sees B'ELanna and is convinced that her unborn child is their saviour.

The Klingon ship will soon have a warp core breach and so all 200 of them must beam aboard Voyager. It is discovered that the breach happened on purpose for the Klingons to be near their savior.

Doubts fall on whether the child truly is their savior when the Klingons learn that B'ELanna is only half Klingon.. and the other half of her is human, and that the father, Tom Paris is a human, himself.

An older Klingon challenges Tom to a death match with Bat'leths, and Tom accepts.

Janeway learns of this and convinces the Klingon to change it into a non - lethal match, using blumted tips on the weapons.

Tom is fighting the Klingon when he ( the Klingon ) collapses.

It is discovered that he and all the other Klingons are carriers for a disease that, while it does not affect humans, does affect Klingons - yes, that means B'ELanna and her unborn baby.

A planet is found for the Klingons to live on when the KLingons attempt and nearly succeed at taking over Voyager. They beam many of the Voyager crew there, but Janeway learns of this in time to put a stop to it.

The Doctor finds a cure for the disease, using the unborn
child's blood to synthesize this.

The Klingons leave Voyager and move to the planet.

So - B'ELanna's unborn child does indeed become their savoir.

Sherman Howard (T'Greth), Wren T. Brown (Kohlar), who play the two main Klingons, have guest starred on other Star Trek shows.

This is an awesome episode!! It was quite enjoyable to watch.
