Dal swaps bodies with Admiral Janeway, who learns the crew's story as a Federation armada closes in.
With the Dauntless closing in, Dal uses his emerging telepathy to warn Admiral Janeway, but the two accidentally swap bodies. In Dal's body, the admiral learns the crew's story, repairs hologram Janeway and promises help, though she notes that augments are barred from Starfleet.
In the admiral's body, Dal's attempts to act like her draw suspicion aboard the Dauntless. They switch back by touching hands during a spacewalk between the ships, and the Protostar drops out of warp to face a Federation armada. Julie and Shawna Benson wrote the episode.
