Warp coil - Lorrum tells Jonas that the Kazon want Jonas to create a small accident to damage Voyager's warp coils; Seska tells him he can do this by forcing the magnetic constrictors out of alignment. (Lifesigns) The inner layer of the warp coils was burned away when the plasma was vented through the nacelles; Torres says that the warp engines will be useless until they can rebuild them.

(Deadlock) Paris gets an alien from the planet to come on Voyager to talk to Chakotay by suggesting that Chakotay would be willing to sell him a warp coil. (Concerning Flight)

Warp core - Torres initiates the shut down of the warp core when she is possessed by Chakotay; it will take 2 hours to regenerate the dilithium matrix; Chakotay possesses Torres again later and causes her to eject the warp core. (Cathexis) The outer shielding of the warp core is made of deuranium; Barclay tells the Doctor that in order to destroy the simulation of Voyager, the Doctor must destroy the warp core. (Projections) The warp core is designed to operate for up to 3 years before refueling. (Innocence) After Kes leaves the ship, the warp core comes online and the matter/antimatter reaction is at 120%. (The Gift) When Voyager attempts to open a transwarp conduit, tachyon particles leak into the warp core; Torres tries to stabilize the core, but she ends up ejecting the warp core when it is about to breach; the core is intact but it ends up millions of kilometers away; Janeway tells Paris to take a shuttle and tractor it back to Voyager; Torres says that that core may be unstable and should be repaired before they put a tractor on it; a Caatati ship takes Voyager's warp core when they find it floating in space; they return the warp core in exchange for the energy matrix that Seven designed that will allow them to produce thorium isotopes in large quantities. (Day of Honor) 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) When Torres, Tuvok and Janeway try to get main power back online, they cause a warp core breach; they are unable to eject the core; Janeway realizes that that they are all dreaming when she survives the warp core explosion in Engineering.

Warp diagnostic assembly - The warp core diagnostic is one of the items that the alien ships steal from Voyager. (Concerning Flight)

Warp emissions - Rain is able to detect Voyager in orbit around the Earth by tracking the warp emissions from their engines; the telescope at the Griffith Observatory has been configured to scan for warp emissions; no one is the 20th century should even know what warp emissions are. (Future's End, Part 1)

Warp particles - Janeway and Torres decide to saturate the event horizon with warp particles hoping that they might be able to see them escape through a rupture that Voyager made in the event horizon when they entered the quantum singularity. (Parallax)

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. (Fair Trade) Gegen and Veer acquire a cannister of Voyager's warp plasma. (Distant Origin) When Paris tries the Insurrection Alpha program the first time, he ends up being assigned to lubricate the warp plasma manifolds because Chakotay is so suspicious of him. (Worst Case Scenario)

Warp plasma injector - Janeway finds Voyager's warp plasma injector in the storage facility. (Concerning Flight)

Warp pulse - Torres suggests that they use a warp pulse to reverse the direction of the distortion ring; they generate a warp pulse by raising the pressure of the warp core to a near critical 53 megapascals. (Twisted)

Weapons system Jonas attempts to disable Voyager's weapons systems after he learns that Paris has escaped from the Kazon and is heading back to Voyager. (Investigations) One of the guidelines the B'omar require is that Voyager keep its weapons systems offline while they travel through B'omar space; Janeway orders Voyager to fire on the B'omar ship's weapons system when the B'omar attack. (The Raven)

Wednesday - On Wednesdays Neelix always cooks Trellian crepes for Kes. (Tuvix)

(Dreadnought) Kes tells the Doctor that Wildman came to sickbay earlier in the day for her regular prenatal visit. (Lifesigns) Neelix asks Wildman to look at the thermal array in the kitchen and the replicators to see what's wrong with them; she goes into labor and her daughter is delivered via fetal transport; her baby dies when the Doctor is unable to correct a slight hemocythemic imbalance due to a power failure in Sickbay but then Kim brings the baby from the duplicate Voyager back through the spatial rift. (Deadlock) Janeway and Neelix trace a com signal to Wildman's quarters, but she and the baby are not there; she is one of Neelix's most dedicated viewers of his program "Good Morning Voyager". (Macrocosm) Paris switches shifts with Wildman in order to get the night off to spend with Torres. (Scientific Method) Wildman calls Neelix because Naomi is having trouble sleeping. (Mortal Coil) Seven assigns Wildman to get the power relay online. (Omega Directive)

Wildman's baby - While Wildman is in labor the baby's exocranial ridges become lodged in the uterine wall and the Doctor performs a fetal transport to deliver the baby; the baby is a girl; the transport causes a slight hemocythemic imbalance that the Doctor attempts to correct using Osmotic pressure therapy; the baby dies when Sickbay loses power; the Janeway from the duplicate Voyager sends Kim and the baby through the spatial rift so the baby will live.

Wormhole - Kim discovers a virtually microscopic wormhole after he detects a subspace disturbance; the wormhole is in an advance state of decay and has been collapsing for centuries; Voyager is unable to travel through the wormhole since it's aperature is only 30 inches in diameter; they are able to use a microprobe as a relay to transmit a message through the wormhole; the wormhole leads to the Alpha Quadrant; Voyager discovers that the wormhole is a rift in space and time and that Telek R'mor comes from the year 2351 which is 20 years in the past. (Eye of the Needle) Voyager finds evidence of the recent presence of a wormhole; the residual neutrino levels indicate that it has been at least 6 months since the wormhole's last appearance; the wormhole is at a fixed spot in the Alpha Quadrant but jumps around in the Delta Quadrant; Kim and Torres try to bring the wormhole back to Voyager by bombarding the subspace instability they found with verteron particles. (False Profits) When Torres investigates, she finds indications of a wormhole including neutrinos, ionized hydrogen, and theta-band radiation, but fails to find quantum level fluctuations which means that a wormhole is not causing the disappearances.
