We also learn some very interesting things about the U.S.S. It’s not clear how she’ll grapple with this or whether it will affect her loyalty to The Diviner. Finally, during a conversation with Rok-Tahk, Gwyn reveals that she thought all of the inhabitants of the colony were prisoners, rather than slaves forced to do her father’s bidding. Second, she’s convinced her father will come for her. First, she’s resistant to Zero’s telepathy. They also decide to put Gwyn in the brig, and we learn a few interesting things about her. Why would the Federation offer aid? Instead, Dal tells Hologram Janeway to plot a course in the opposite direction of the Federation. “People in authority lie,” he says to them, and points out that the Protostar is a stolen ship. He worries that asking “the holo-nanny” for help is akin to handing the reins of the ship over after all, he has no reason to think she’s telling the truth. He doesn’t trust easily and feels like the Federation is too good to be true.

But when Hologram Janeway asks if she should help the group plot a course back toward Federation space, Dal responds with, “No!” which surprises the rest of the crew.ĭal’s hesitance is completely understandable when you think about his history. The idea of this kind of collective working towards something better is incredibly inspiring it’s clear they haven’t really heard of anything like it before. When Hologram Janeway introduces the crew to the principles of the Federation, each and every one of them are in awe.
