Elogium

A ginormous space monster is holding the ship captive because it wants to mate with the ship; proximity to it is making Kes go into a mating cycyle prematurely.

Neelix is reluctant to mate with Kes as it means he'd actually have to raise and be responsible for a kid.... but Ocompans can only have a child once. Same goes for men - they can only mate once. So, how does their species survive?

Chakotay figures out that, instead of the ship fighting back, it needs to adopt a passive nature with the monster... which lets it go after it does.

Kes decides not to mate.. she will wait till her cycle occurs naturally.

Not one of the best, but was ok.
