Deuterium maintenance - Janeway assigns Neelix to two weeks of scrubbing the exhaust manifolds in Deuterium maintenance to give him time to reflect on what he has done. (Fair Trade)

Dilithium matrix - Neelix asks Torres if she has tried phase locking the plasma injectors to the dilithium matrix to help regulate the plasma flow; Torres tells him that that was the first thing she though of. (Fair Trade)

Duotronic probe - Torres askes Vorik to get her this tool when she is having trouble regulating the plasma flow. (Fair Trade)

Environmental controls - The pergium will be used to regenerate the filters in the environmental controls system. (Fair Trade)

Exhaust manifold - Janeway assigns Neelix to 2 weeks of scrubbing the exhaust manifolds in Deuterium maintenance to give him time to reflect on what he has done. (Fair Trade)

Gagh - Neelix serves cold gagh for breakfast as part of his special Klingon breakfast buffet, but neither Torres or the crew seemed enthusiastic about it. (Fair Trade)

Klingon - Neelix prepares a special Klingon breakfast buffet but none of the crew seems to be enthusiastic about it. (Fair Trade)

Kolaati - Wix was acting as an agent for the Kolaati traders and he says that they weren't happy they didn't get paid; he says that the Kolaati are mean as fire snakes and will kill them; Wix convinces the Kolaati to take a sample of Voyager's warp plasma instead; Tosin is one of the most powerful Kolaati. (Fair Trade)

Magnetic spindle bearings - Chakotay and Paris go to the station looking for magnetic spindle bearings for the reaction control assembly; Wix finds the spindle bearings for Voyager; (Fair Trade)

Map dealer (Eric Sharp) - The map dealer tells Neelix that there are no maps of the Nekrit Expanse because it is too unstable to chart. (Fair Trade)

Narcotics - Wix tells Neelix that they are delivering medical supplies, but they are really narcotics; cryostatic susupension hasn't been an effective deterrent to stop the drug trafficking on the station. (Fair Trade)

Nekrit Expanse - An area of space thousands of light years wide that seems to be an interstellar dust cloud; no one knows much about this vast terrritory; there are plasma storms in the expanse that might cause a problem for navigation; there are no maps of the Nekrit Expanse since it is too unstable to chart; Wix finds someone that has a map of it and persuades Neelix to help him deliver "medical supplies" in order to get it.

Starfleet - Janeway tells Neelix that the first duty of any Starfleet officer is the truth. (Fair Trade)

Surveillance system - The narcotics dealers are able to disable the station's surveillance system by creating false visual signals. (Fair Trade)

(Fair Trade)

Toffa ale - Wix and Neelix go have a Toffa ale after they meet on the trading station. (Fair Trade)

Tosin (James Horan) - Tosin is one of the most powerful Kolaati; he wants a sample of Voyager's warp plasma; Wix and Neelix agree to turn Tosin over to the Bahrat in exchange for their freedom; Bahrat tells Tosin he is under arrest for violating Station code 4279 subsection beta. (Fair Trade)

USS Voyager - Bahrat says that Voyager's location and communications will be monitored while Voyager is at the station near the Nekrit expanse; the Kolaati want a sample of Voyager's warp plasma. (Fair Trade)

Vorik (Alexander Enberg) - Male Ensign on Voyager; Vorik suggests that Torres use a Gravidic caliper to help regulate the plasma flow since it is a more precise instrument that the duotronic probe; Torres sends him to adjust the control interface in the food replicators. (Fair Trade)

Warp plasma - The Kolaati want 3 grams of Voyager's warp plasma so that they can increase the efficiency of their engines; Neelix goes into the Jeffries tube to get a sample, but decides that he can't give it to the Kolaati; the warp sample that Neelix gives Tosin is contaminated; Neelix disengages the safety nodes on the plasma canister so that the whole area is filled with plasma particles and firing a weapon or activating a transporter system would destabilize the plasma and cause an explosion; one of Tosin's men fires a weapon causing the warp plasma to ignite.
