Meanwhile Chakotay, in an effort to ‘complete’ the circle, decides to address the division between the fleet and maquis by telling his personal story of how he came to join the maquis. He’s hoping to build some bridges, but will he just end up with a pile of rubble?

Chakotay and Tuvok are are sent on an away mission to survey a planet nicknamed Egypt.

Chakotay faces two dilemmas, one on the spiritual plane, one on the personal.

Meanwhile in the middle world, he must decide what to do about his feelings for Janeway. One way or the other, his role and place on Voyager is changing.

This last story in the Talking Stick/Circle series takes Janeway, Chakotay, and the crew of Voyager into the heart of a genocidal war. Will they survive?
