EPISODE: EYE OF THE NEEDLE

Alpha Quadrant - The signal that the Voyager detects from the wormhole originated here; Telek R'mor identifies his position as Alpha Quadrant, Sector 1385. (Eye of the Needle)

Arethian flu - The Doctor was testing Lt. Hargrove for this flu when Ensign Kyote deactivated him. (Eye of the Needle)

Baxter (Tom Virtue) - Lieutenant aboard Voyager; the doctor treats him for an injury he got during a hamstring exercise. (Eye of the Needle)

Deactivation sequence - Janeway tells the Doctor that it might be possible to give him control over his own deactivation sequence so that the Doctor could turn himself off or prevent himself from being turned off (Eye of the Needle)

Eidetic memory - The doctor says that Kes must have this type of memory since she has memorized the medical information he gave her so quickly. (Eye of the Needle)

Federation Astronomical Committee - Paris suggests that this committee should name the newly discovered wormhole "The Harry Kim Wormhole" since Kim discovered it. (Eye of the Needle)

Hargrove - Male Lieutenant on Voyager; the Doctor was testing Hargrove for Arethian flu when Ensign Kyote deactivates him (Eye of the Needle)

Kyote - Ensign on Voyager; she deactivated the Doctor right when he was in the middle of testing Lt. Hargrove for the Arethian flu. (Eye of the Needle)

Matter transmission rate - Torres says that if this rate was reconfigured, Voyager may be able to piggyback a transporter beam onto the visual link and transport the crew back to the Alpha Quadrant. (Eye of the Needle)

Microprobe - Voyager launches a microprobe into the wormhole to get more information about it; when the probe gets stuck in the gravitational eddies, Voyager then uses the probe as a booster to send messages to the other side; the gravitational eddies will crush the probe within 72 hours. (Eye of the Needle)

Personal messages - Janeway has the crew prepare personal messages to be given to Telek R'mor so that he may transmit them to their families at the proper time; the message were never sent since Telek R'mor died 4 years before Voyager left for the mission to the Badlands. (Eye of the Needle)

Phase variance - Voyager detects a strange phase variance in the radiation stream of the wormhole; Tuvok determines that this variance is cause by the fact that the wormhole is a rift in space and time and that the other side of the wormhole is 20 years in the past. (Eye of the Needle)

Signal generator - Voyager reconfigures the signal generator so that it will be compatible will the probe's long range sensors. (Eye of the Needle)

Spinach juice - Kes likes spinach juice with a touch of pear; Paris introduced her to it. (Eye of the Needle)

Sub-harmonic pulses - Voyager's test message is a series of these pulses. (Eye of the Needle)

Talvath - This is the name of the Romulan science vessel in the Alpha Quadrant, Sector 1385 that Voyager contacts through the wormhole; the ship is commanded by Telek R'mor of the Romulan Astrophysical Academy; Telek R'mor initially tells Voyager that this ship is a cargo vessel instead of a science vessel. (Eye of the Needle)

Telek R'mor (Vaughn Armstrong) - Captain of the Romulan science vessel Talvath; initially, he does not believe that Voyager is in the Delta Quadrant and thinks that they are Starfleet spies; he belongs to Romulan Astrological Academy; he has a wife and a 7 month old daughter; Tuvok discovers that he died in 2367 which was 4 years ago and therefore the Voyager crew's personal messages to their families were never sent. (Eye of the Needle)

Test cyclinder - A standard starfleet mechanism with a varietal molecular matrix; it simulates most known organic and non-organic compounds; Voyager does more than 20 transports of these test cyclinders to the Talvath and back before try transporting Telek R'mor to Voyager. (Eye of the Needle)

Troop ship - Telek R'mor says that he will get a troop ship to join him in order to transport the Voyager crew since he will not allow them on his science vessel. (Eye of the Needle)

Wormhole - Kim discovers a virtually microscopic wormhole after he detects a subspace disturbance; the wormhole is in an advance state of decay and has been collapsing for centuries; Voyager is unable to travel through the wormhole since it's aperature is only 30 inches in diameter; they are able to use a microprobe as a relay to transmit a message through the wormhole; the wormhole leads to the Alpha Quadrant; Voyager discovers that the wormhole is a rift in space and time and that Telek R'mor comes from the year 2351 which is 20 years in the past. (Eye of the Needle)
