Coaxial warp drive - According to Paris, coaxial warp drive is a hypothetical propulsion system that Starfleet engineers have been dreaming about for years; it literally folds the fabric of space allowing a ship to travel instantaneously across huge distances; Steth's ships is powered by a coaxial warp drive; a coaxial drive explosion could collapse space within a radius of a billion kilometers; Janeway wants Steth/Paris to try to implement the coaxial warp drive on one of Voyager's shuttles; Paris is unable to activate the coaxial warp drive in Steth's ship after Steth has locked out the commands. (Vis A Vis)

"Dancing Girls of Ninipia Prime" - Paris tells Torres that the program he has been running on the holodeck is "The Dancing Girls of Ninipia Prime". (Vis A Vis)

DNA - Steth runs a DNA stability analysis after his appearance changes; Steth takes Paris's box wrench in order to get a DNA sample; the alien posing as Steth is capable of doing some sort of selective DNA exchange; the Doctor finds a second DNA pattern when he does a blood analysis on Janeway/Paris. (Vis A Vis)

DNA stability analysis - Steth runs a DNA stability analysis after his appearance changes; according to the analysis, complete genome recovery is imminent and he will revert to his previous form in 3 hours, 13 minutes. (Vis A Vis)

Eidetic memory - Seven says she has an eidetic memory and requires only seconds to commit what she sees to memory. (Vis A Vis)

Entaban - Steth tells Paris that he once made the mistake of flying his ship through restricted Entaban territory and that he had to "limp" back to Benthos with phaser holes in his fuselage. (Vis A Vis)

Exatanium - Steth says that the engineers on Benthos weren't happy when Steth returned with phaser holes in their brand new exatanium fuselage. (Vis A Vis)

Genome - According to the DNA stability analysis that Steth runs, complete genome recovery is imminent and his genome will revert to his previous form in 3 hours, 13 minutes. (Vis A Vis)

Golf - Paris was supposed to replicate golf clubs for Kim using polyduranide; Kim and Paris are supposed to play golf with Ensign Kaplan; Torres is upset when she finds Steth/Paris in her quarters practicing golf. (Vis A Vis)

"Grease Monkey" - This is the name of the holodeck program that Paris has been running in order to work the Chevey Camaro; Paris tells Steth that "grease monkey" is mechanic lingo. (Vis A Vis)

Holodeck - Paris is working on a 1969 Chevy Camaro on the holodeck when the Doctor comes looking for him; Torres says that he has been hiding out for hours on the holodeck and she wants to know what holoprogram has him so fascinated; Paris tells her that the program is "The Dancing Girls of Ninipia Prime"; Paris's holodeck program is called "Grease Monkey"; Paris apologizes to Torres by showing her his holodeck program. (Vis a Vis)

Isokinetic containment field - Torres suggests using a isokinetic containment field to prevent a particle overload in Steth's propulsion system; Paris tells her that that is the first thing he and Steth tried. (Vis A Vis)

Kaplan - Kim and Paris are supposed to play golf with Ensign Kaplan (Vis A Vis)

Kendren system - Steth/Paris wants Torres to spend 24 hours with him on the 4th planet of the Kendren system; Neelix is gathering food samples here. (Vis A Vis)

Kotaba Expanse - When Paris wakes up in Steth's ship, he is in the Kotaba Expanse. (Vis A Vis)

Lake Tahoe - When Paris was 16, he took his fathers's shuttle out for a joyride and the shuttle ended up in Lake Tahoe. (Vis A Vis)

Mithran - Steth says that when he gets back to Benthos he will be doing the first test on a mithran-class fighter; it is more advanced than any warship in the quadrant. (Vis A Vis)

Navigational Matrix 1711 - When Paris wakes up in Steth's ship, he is in Navigational Matrix 1711 which is in the Kotaba Expanse. (Vis A Vis)

Polaric modulator - Paris uses a spare polaric modulator from Voyager's impulse drive to act as a carburetor on Steth's ship. (Vis A Vis)

Polyduranide - According to Kim, polyduranide can be tough to replicate; Paris was supposed to replicate golf clubs for Kim using polyduranide. (Vis A Vis)

Shuttlecraft - When Paris was 16, he took his fathers's shuttle out for a joyride and fried all the relays; the shuttle is still at the bottom of Lake Tahoe; Chakotay tells Steth/Paris that Janeway wants him to try implementing some of the Steth's technology on one of Voyager's shuttles; Seven and Steth/Paris were supposed to work on the shuttle at 2100 hours, he tells her it slipped his mind; Steth/Janeway steals the shuttle and attempts to get away, but he is stopped by Paris/Steth and the real Steth. (Vis A Vis)

Sickbay - Paris's training in Sickbay is voluntary but the Doctor is concerned because Paris hasn't spent any time there in several weeks; Steth/Paris has to search for Sickbay when Chakotay tells him to report there; Janeway tells Steth/Paris to report to Sickbay for tests. (Vis A Vis)

Steth (Dan Butler) - Voyager prevents Steth's ships from exploding by surrounding his ship with Voyager's own warp field; Steth says that he is a test pilot and that he is from the 4th planet in the Benthan system; Steth says that he likes to keep in motion and doesn't want to settle down; Steth's appearance changes and according to the DNA stability analysis that he runs, his genome will revert to its previous form in 3 hours, 13 minutes; Steth takes Paris's box wrench in order to get a DNA sample; when he determines that they are compatible, he switches bodies with Paris; after sending Paris off in his own ship, Steth takes on Paris's persona on Voyager; Chakotay tells Steth/Paris that Janeway wants him to try implementing some of the Steth's technology on one of Voyager's shuttles; he cons the Doctor into giving him the day off by telling him that he will never be half the healer that the Doctor is; Paris/Steth runs into the real Steth when she boards Steth's ship and wants his body back; Seven discovers Steth/Paris drinking on duty and reading the captain's personal logs so she reports him to the Captain; after Janeway calls for Security to come to her ready room, Tuvok finds Steth/Paris choking her; Steth/Paris switches bodies with Janeway; Paris/Steth and the real Steth manage to get Steth's ship back to Voyager and stop Steth/Janeway; the Doctor is able to restore Paris, Steth, and Janeway back to their own bodies. (Vis A Vis)

Symmetric warp field - Paris suggests that a symmetric warp field should contain any instabilities in the space folding core; he manuevers the ship so that Voyager's own warp field prevents Steth's ship from exploding. (Vis A Vis)
