Conducting a surveillance mission of an alien structure, Chakotay finds himself on Earth at Starfleet Headquarters. He is surrounded by aliens posing as humans, and strikes up a conversation with one of the women, Commander Valerie Archer. Later, when Chakotay and Tuvok are on their way back to the Delta Flyer, an alien Ensign tries to detain them for being in a restricted area. Unwilling to risk their cover being blown, they beam him back to Voyager.
When Janeway questions him, the Ensign kills himself by releasing a toxin into his bloodstream. The Doctor triggers a genetic reversion, and the body on the biobed turns into a Species 8472 alien. Analysis of their ship's structure shows the aliens are using a combination of holographic projection and particle synthesis to recreate Earth and Starfleet Headquarters. The crew surmises it is being used as a training ground for invasion of the Alpha Quadrant.

Seven of Nine discovers Species 8472 has adapted to Borg nanoprobes. As she works to modify them, Chakotay, Paris and Kim take the Delta Flyer back to the Earth simulation so Chakotay can keep a date planned with Archer. He plans to use her to find out more about the mission against the Federation. After Chakotay leaves her quarters, Archer analyzes a DNA sample and discovers that he is human. Once security is alerted, Chakotay is taken into custody.

Paris and Kim notify Janeway of what has happened and pilot their shuttle back to Voyager. The Captain sets a course for the alien ship, and is armed with modified nanoprobes but is unwilling to use them unless provoked. When she threatens the habitat leader — who is in the body of Starfleet groundskeeper Boothby — with the Borg nanoprobes, he agrees to a meeting.

With both sides gathered to discuss their differences, Janeway and Boothby find there is room for negotiation. Judging from Voyager's collaboration with the Borg against them, Species 8472 believed humans were a hostile force planning an invasion. Janeway explains that her crew did not know at the time that the Borg had started the war with their species; Archer then reveals that their Earth simulation is only a reconnaissance mission. They feared humans as much as the Voyager crew feared them. After agreeing to share technology as a first step toward peace between their species, the 8472 beings return to fluidic space, and Voyager continues on its journey home.

Ik heb mijn review voor tv.com geschreven en heb even op dit moment geen zin om hem te vertalen dus hier is ie in het engels.

• I've always liked species 8472 and this episode makes no exception to that.
  
  The episode starts good by beginning on what looks like Earth. And until a good end in the episode you don't really know who the 'humans' are. Although the man who was changing purple was a little hint.
  
  The rest of the episode is very good, some might think Janeway was stupid by giving 8472 the only weapon they had against them, but in my opinion this was the only thing she could do. What if she engaged species 8472 and they attacked Earth? Earth would have no defences (especially just after the dominion war) and Earth still wouldn’t know about the weapons Janeway gave to them.
  
  By giving the weapons she made a possible peace between their two species possible.
  
  So far for my opinion about her decision.
  
  If you like Voyager you will really like this episode.

[Tactical_Cube]

sinds wanneer weet voyager van de dominion war?

dat zeg ik niet ik maak alleen duidelijk dat de federatie normaal al geen kans had gemaakt tegen 8472 maar al helemaal niet nu net na de dominion war

[3rd RemataKlan]

What if she engaged species 8472 and they attacked Earth? Earth would have no defences (especially just after the dominion war)

Tijdens "In The Flesh" had de Aarde er sowieso er geen verdediging tegen.

and Earth still wouldn’t know about the weapons Janeway gave to them.

Als Janeway species 8472 had aangevallen had 8472 niet het wapen gehad.

Beetje Nep Dat ZE Dan Een Non Argression Pact HEbben Aan Het Einde

sinds wanneer weet voyager van de dominion war?

Al sinds de Voyager afleveringen 'Message In A Bottle' en de daaropvolgende aflevering 'Hunters'. Twee hele mooie afleveringen die goed achter elkaar bekeken kunnen worden. Vooral 'Hunters' gaat over de brieven die ze van thuis krijgen. Chakotay en Torres -vooral Torres- is compleet overstuur als ze te horen krijgt dat al haar vrienden omgekomen zijn door de Dominion. Mooie afleveringen!

[Rogueborg]

Erg leuke aflevering. De aflevering laat duidelijk zien dat zonder vertrouwen er een hoop verkeerds kan gebeuren.
Bootbhy is altijd leuk in een aflevering.
