Alveoli - Something causes the alveoli in Torres's lungs to stop processing and nearly kills her. (Scientific Method)
Alzen (Rosemary Forsyth) - Alzen is one of the aliens on board Voyager observing and conducting experiements on the crew; Seven uses a phaser to make Alzen become visible; Alzen tells Janeway that the data they are gathering may help her people cure physical and psychological disorders that afflict millions; she says that the entire experiment and crew will be terminated if Janeway tries to interfere. (Scientific Method)
Astrometrics lab - Seven tells Torres that she is reconfiguring the power couplings because the astrometrics lab requires more energy. (Scientific Method)
Binary pulsars - The source of the energy reading Voyager discovers is two binary pulsars; the gravity between them is so intense that everything within 50 million kilometers is being pulled in; the gamma radiation levels around the pulsars is high; Voyager circles the pulsars at a distance of 90 million kilometers in order to avoid the random proton burst; Janeway takes Voyager directly between the pulsars in a desperate attempt to rid Voyager of the aliens. (Scientific Method)
Coffee - Chakotay orders hot black coffee from the replicator; after he drinks it, he drops the cup and his hands begin to shake. (Scientific Method)
Comm badge - Both Paris and Torres take off their comm badges so they won't be interrupted anymore on their date. (Scientific Method)
Da Vinci - The Doctor hides in the Da Vinci simulation on the holodeck. (Scientific Method)
Dopamine - The aliens have been increasing Janeway's dopamine levels to see how much more strain she can bear. (Scientific Method)
Eggs - Neelix asks Paris and Kim if they want some of the scrambled eggs he's making. (Scientific Method)
Electron resonance scanner - Torres and the Doctor use the electron resonance scanner in the science lab to scan Chakotay's and Neelix's DNA to try to find out what is causing the genetic mutations; they find some kind of contaminant of the base pair sequencers; the Doctor says that this level of submolecular technology is well beyone what Starfleet has developed; Seven uses the excuse of returning to the Science Lab to repair the malfunctioning scanner in order to go to Holodeck 2 to meet the Doctor. (Scientific Method)
Epsilon 2 - The Doctor tells Seven that if she needs to contact him to use this comm frequency because he has isolated it from the rest of the system. (Scientific Method)
EPS relay - Seven accesses the EPS relay system and overrides the security protocols hoping to be able to reconfigure the relay to emit a neuroleptic shock; the aliens are able to prevent Seven from doing this. (Scientific Method)
Headache - Janeway has been experiencing headaches; she tells the Doctor that they feel like hot needles driving into her skull. (Scientific Method)
Helm control - Torres gets Paris into engineering with the excuse that she wanted to make sure increasing the efficiency of the impulse drive wasn't compromising helm control. (Scientific Method)
Holodeck - The Doctor hides in the Da Vinci simulation on Holodeck 2. (Scientific Method)
Implant - The Doctor taps into Seven's implants so that only she can hear him. (Scientific Method)
Internal sensors - Tuvok tries to modify the internal sensors to detect the aliens; the aliens are able to prevent Tuvok from doing this. (Scientific Method)
Ktarian Merlot - Paris tells Torres that the wine they are drinking is a Ktarian Merlot 2282. (Scientific Method)
Lectrazine - When one of the bridge crew is in hypertensive shock, the Doctor gives her 20 milligrams of lectrazine to try to save her. (Scientific Method)
Micro-inducer - The Doctor uses a Type 4 micro-inducer to set Seven's Borg sensory nodes to a phase variance of .15. (Scientific Method)
Microscopic tags - The Doctor and Torres find microscopic tags on Chakotay and Neelix's DNA; the tags are slightly out of phase so the initial scans don't reveal them; the tags are causing the genetic mutations in the crew; after the aliens are gone, the Doctor is able to remove the tags from the crew. (Scientific Method)
Mylean - The Mylean race occupy a region of space near Talax; when Neelix's DNA is hyperstimulated, he begins to look like a Mylean; Neelix's great-grandfather was a Mylean so 1/8 of Neelix's genetic material is Mylean. (Scientific Method)
Neuroleptic shock - The Doctor believes that a ship-wide neuroleptic shock would disable the genetic tags; the shock will be painful for the crew but they will recover; the aliens prevent Seven from doing this. (Scientific Method)
Osteopathic pressure therapy - The Doctor uses osteopathic pressure therapy to try to relieve Janeway's headache. (Scientific Method)
Phaser - The Doctor says that a precisely modulated phaser beam may make the aliens visible to everyone; Seven modulates a phaser to make Alzen become visible. (Scientific Method)
Phase variance - Torres tries to compensate for the phase variance in the contaminant that she and the Doctor find in the base pair sequencers; she tells the Doctor to access the internal sensors and set them to a phase variance of .15 so that they can trace the source of the signal being transmitted from the DNA; the Doctor sets Seven's Borg sensory nodes to a phase variance of .15 so that she will be able to detect the alien energy signature. (Scientific Method)
Pleeka rind - Kim asked Neelix if he has any leftover pleeka rind casserole that he can have for breakfast; he says that he likes it. (Scientific Method)
Progenia - The Doctor compares Chakotay's premature aging to a rare genetic disorder called progenia; progenia causes children to age prematurely but there has never been an adult case; the disorder was erradicated 2 centuries ago. (Scientific Method)
Proton burst - Kim says that he has detected random proton bursts from the binary pulsars and that a strong burst could knock out one of Voyager's shields; Voyager circles the pulsars at a distance of 90 million kilometers in order to avoid the bursts. (Scientific Method)
Terradyne - A unit of measurement; when Janeway takes Voyager between the binary pulsars, Tuvok reports that the hull stress is at 30 terradynes; it then rises to 45 terradynes. (Scientific Method)
USS Voyager - Voyager circles the binary pulsars at a distance of 90 million kilometers in order to avoid the bursts; Voyager has 257 rooms; when Janeway attempts to take Voyager between the binary pulsars, the hull begins to buckle when it reaches a temperature of 9000 degrees. (Scientific Method)
Warp core - Torres's crew in engineering have been trying to do a warp core diagnostic all morning but they have been delayed because Seven was rerouting power to the astrometrics lab. (Scientific Method)
Wildman - Paris switches shifts with Wildman in order to get the night off to spend with Torres. (Scientific Method)
