It becomes apparent to Tuvok that the Maquis are not fully (and understandably to me if not Tuvok) integrated into the crew. Janeway's solution is to have Tuvok train four Maquis selected by Chakotay in the ways of Star Fleet. The Maquis selected are very unhappy about this and refuse to participate until Chakotay brings them round with a demonstration of "the Maquis way." While the boot camp like training is going on, Voyager is being threatened by catastrophe as the bioneural gel packs that operate all of the ship's systems (including life-support) are breaking down. Since the Tuvok character is one of my least favorites, it is not surprising that I found this show basically ordinary despite the fact that the especially bitter Maquis Crewman Dalby was both believable and interesting. The two best bits in the show were when the Doctor talks to the gel pack and the brief interlude of Janeway in the "ancient English" halonovel. The episode does see further development of the Tuvok character.
