When the cadets find Chakotay, he is a bitter and resigned man. Marooned for ten years on the planet - Ysida. Since the death of his first officer – Adreek, Chakotay has spent much of that time alone. His only companion is the Protostar’s hologram, Janeway. But the arrival of Dal, Gwyn, Rok, Zero, Jankom, Murf, and Ma’jel changes everything. Through their inspirational modeling of hope, they can fix Chakotay. If not for their sake, for his.
