In "Extreme Risk", an aggressive alien vessel attempts to steal one of Voyager's probes. In an attempt to rescue it from a hostile atmosphere, Janeway gets involved in a "space race" to build a rescue ship. In "In the Flesh", the crew of Voyager stumble upon a perfect recreation of Starfleet Academy in San Francisco, and a secret alien plan to infiltrate the highest levels of the Federation. Even more scary is the identity of the aliens - Species 8472, a race sworn to eliminate all human life.
