She correctly notes that he seems "apprehensive" at the prospect. Meanwhile back on Voyager Harry Kim has been assigned to work with Seven of Nine. B'Elanna gets to work trying to stabilize his matrix so he can stay visible. Dejaren introduces himself as an "isomorph." He says his crew suddenly died of a virus and he doesn't know what to do next. When he comes face-to-face with the away team, he is nervous, suspicious, and distraught. Dejaren stalks them for a few moments while they try to establish what is wrong with the ship. The Doctor is eager to meet a fellow hologram and he and B'Elanna take off in a shuttle to meet the disabled ship.

Star Trek has a history of dabbling in horror such as the technological failure of the transporter in Star Trek: The Motion Picture when its malfunction kills two members of the crew. The episode is noted as paying homage to the tradition of "trashy science fiction horror" vibe in the Star Trek universe as portrayed by episodes like " Phage", " Cathexis", " Faces", " Projections", " Persistence of Vision", " Cold Fire", " Prototype", " Meld", " The Thaw", " Macrocosm", " Alter Ego", " Coda", " Darkling", " Phantasms", " Dark Page", " Sub Rosa", " Masks", " Eye of the Beholder" or " Genesis". However, this may be too broad an interpretation of the episode noting a more basic horror film element. In contrast to historical examples in Trek history, like Bajoran comfort women, the character of Dejaren has been compared to Gigolo Joe from Spielberg's 2001 film A.I.
The episode, in retrospect, was noted for a possible allusion to male sexual abuse via the hologram. Leland Orser had also played a character on Deep Space Nine. Guest star Leland Orser plays the EMH-like hologram Dejaren on a spaceship that is encountered by Voyager. In addition, sub-plots run their course on Voyager with other characters. This is focused on an EMH (Emergency Medical Hologram The Doctor)-like hologram on another ship, which is dealt with mostly by the Doctor and B'Elanna.
