Tom Paris begins evolving into a higher organism after achieving warp 10 in an experimental shuttle.

This one is pretty cool.

Tom mutates into an advanced human and takes Janeway into the shuttle on another warp 10 trip; she mutates, as well, and they mate and have babies together.

Then Chakotay and Voyager find 'em and they get changed back.

It appears the first trip evolved Tom; the second one de-evolved him and Janeway. Why did she de- evolve with him when it was only her first warp10 trip?

Despite the side effects of Warp 10 travel, like the evolution, what was stopping Voyager from using it to get home anyway? The ship could be set to automatic for the flight and the Doctor could obviously reverse the evolution, so there should have been no problems.


Janeway and Paris discuss their experience and Janeway suggests it might have been her idea for them to mate while they were mutated.

This episode was different and I like it a lot!
