Retrospect
Wed, Feb 25, 199845 mins
After Janeway finishes trade negotiations with Kovin for an isokinetic cannon, Seven of Nine experiences panic attacks that appear to stem from blocked memories of Kovin recently violating her.

Unfortunately, evidence remains inconclusive. Kovin flees, but whether it's to hide something or to protect something remains unclear, and the validity of Seven's emotional memory comes into question, too.

Janeway wary, and her decryption of the full message proves her right to be.
