He's obviously been hardened like the rest, and reminds Chakotay of what their enemy has done to them. He also suggests the "nemesis" is just as afraid of him, but Rafin seems to take a lot of offense. Chakotay tries to talk to Rafin, saying it's all right to be afraid. Chakotay hesitates, as it isn't his conflict, but Brone insists.īrone then has Chakotay go through some basic training from Rafin, particularly in Vori firearms. Afterwards, Chakotay is given Namon's uniform, as his Starfleet uniform is noticeable enough to draw attention by the Kradin. The Kradin is shot anyway shortly after by Brone and Namon is declared "nullified".ĭuring Namon's memorial, Chakotay learns about the Vori's culture, specifically their burial rituals, like how they bury their bodies downturned. " Don't make me kill you!", he shouts at the Kradin soldier. Chakotay rushes the other and manages to take his weapon. Namon is hit, but he fires off a shot before falling which happens to kill one. Just then, he and Namon come under attack from two Kradin. Chakotay and Namon discover a small piece of the shuttle on the ground, and Voyager's first officer remarks that there does not seem to be much left of his shuttle. Namon tells Chakotay that if he were a Vori, he would crave to drive off the Kradin from their world just as he does. Chakotay tells the soldier that it was the worst thing he has ever had to do. The next day, while walking with Namon to search for the shuttle's wreckage, Chakotay tells him of his battles back in the Alpha Quadrant with the Cardassians, when he asks the commander if he has ever killed before. Rafin's motivation for hatred of the Kradin stems from the destruction of Rafin's home village as well as their killing of Rafin's relatives. During this, Rafin informs Chakotay on why the Vori hate the Kradin so much, such as their appearance, the burning seen in their eyes. Chakotay tries to relate Rafin to a young Kradin soldier out there who might be as afraid as he is to fight. The Vori speak an odd language which Chakotay easily picks up, mostly from engaging in conversation with a Vori youth named Rafin, who is teased by Namon on his inexperience in combat, as well as his nervousness in battle. Brone advises Chakotay to wait for the dawn or the "new light", as he calls it before leaving. Brone, the leader of the Fourth Vori Defense Contingent, assigns Namon to guide Chakotay to the wreckage of his downed shuttle. He cannot reach the ship using his combadge, as the Kradin, the species hostile to the Vori, have disabled communications in the battle zone.
Chakotay explains to the soldiers that he needs to contact his vessel, the USS Voyager. They tell Chakotay of the "Beast", the enemy they are fighting against.
They quickly decide he is not a threat to them and decide to integrate him into their team. Commander Chakotay is captured walking at night in a jungle on a Delta Quadrant world by the Vori when his shuttle is shot down during a survey mission.
