EPISODE: MACROCOSM

Ambassador - Janeway jokingly tells Neelix she may promote him to an ambassador since he has such a flare for diplomacy. (Macrocosm)

American sign language - Janeway has studied this. (Macrocosm)

Antigen bomb - Janeway throws an antigen bomb onto the Holodeck in order to destroy the macroviruses. (Macrocosm)

Bio-electric field - There is a bio-electric field on Voyager that is preventing Janeway from scanning for life signs; the field is permeating the ship and Janeway can't localize it; the filters are purged after the Doctor is beamed back but the virus has already migrated into the transporter buffer. (Macrocosm)

Biofilters - Chakotay won't let the Doctor beam the macrovirus onto Voyager because the ship's biofilters may not recognize it. (Macrocosm)

Chromolinguistics - Janeway has studied this. (Macrocosm)

Deck 2 - Voyager sets up a Level 4 quarantine on Deck 2 after the crew in the Mess Hall is infected by the macrovirus. (Macrocosm)

Environmental controls - The environmental controls on Voyager fail which causes a "heat wave" on the ship since the heat from the warp plasma conduits can't be vented; Janeway and the Doctor try to get to Environmental controls on Deck 12 so that they can distribute the synthetic antigen through the ventilation system; Janeway is able to get the Environmental controls online but they are damaged again when Voyager is attacked by the Tak Tak ship. (Macrocosm)

Garan miner (Michael Fiske) - When the Doctor beams down to the mining colony, he finds one the of the Garren miners has been infected with a macrovirus. (Macrocosm)

Garans - After Janeway and Neelix left, Voyager received a distress call from a mining colony of a race called the Garans; they are having a viral outbreak and may have to shut down if they can't stop it. (Macrocosm)

Gel packs - The neurodes in the gel pack in the Mess Hall have been burned out and the pack is filled with a mucilaginous compound; the gel pack ruptures when Torres touches it. (Macrocosm)

"Good Morning Voyager" - Janeway and Neelix trace a com signal to this program playing on the monitor in Wildman's quarters; the program was activated 11 hours earlier and is set for automatic playback until it's shut off. (Macrocosm)

Heating array - The heating array in the Mess Hall overloads and incinerates the pot roast that Paris was preparing for the crew's dinner. (Macrocosm)

Holodeck - Janeway initiates the Paxau Resort holodeck program so that the macroviruses will be lured to the holodeck; Holodeck 2 is heavily damaged by the antigen bomb, but there are no hull breaches. (Macrocosm) (Macrocosm)

Indiana - Janeway says that when she was growing up, the summers in Indiana were similar to the hot summer in the Rinax marshlands. (Macrocosm)

Infrared radiation - The macrovirus is attracted to infrared radiation and mistakes the Doctor's matrix for body heat; Janeway sets her tricorder to emit a thermal scattering signal so that the macrovirus will find it more difficult to target she and the Doctor (Macrocosm)

Jeffries tubes - Janeway and the Doctor use the Jeffries tubes to try to get to Environmental Controls on Deck 12. (Macrocosm)

Kaplan (Susan Patterson) - Female Ensign on Voyager; Chakotay tells her to show the Doctor where Torpedo bay 1 is. (Future's End, Part 2) Kaplan is the next guest on "Good Morning Voyager" when Janeway and Neelix discover the program running in Wildman's quarters. (Macrocosm)

Klingons - Klingons have a redundant stomach and don't get nauseous. (Macrocosm)

Ktarian - Chakotay tells Janeway that some of the crew going to the holodeck to go skiing on the Ktarian glaciers. (Macrocosm)

Lavaflies - The Rinax marshlands had vicious lavaflies that grew to be 6 centimeters long. (Macrocosm)

Leyron - Janeway says that she has studied the gestural idioms of the Leyron. (Macrocosm)

Macrovirus - The Doctor determines that Voyager has been infected by a macrovirus; he has never encountered this type of life form before; the macrovirus absorbs the body's growth hormones into its own protein structure and uses it to increase its own mass and dimensions; it is growing at a rate of 30 microns every second; the macrovirus becomes airborne and infects Voyager's crew; it has a needle-like projection to penetrate cell membranes and infuse its victim with its own genetic code. (Macrocosm)

Mess hall - Janeway finds a lot of the crew in the Mess Hall unconscious; Paris volunteers to help out in the Mess Hall while Neelix is away; a gel pack in the Mess Hall ruptures and causes the crew there to become infected with the macrovirus; a Level 4 quarantine is set up around the Mess Hall and its adjoining sections. (Macrocosm)

Microns - A unit of measurement; the Doctor says that the macrovirus is growing at a rate of 30 microns every second. (Macrocosm)

Mucilaginous compound - There is a muculaginous compound around the hole in the floor panel leading into a Jeffries tube; the compound has a high concentration of amino acids, protein, and fragments of non-humanoid DNA; the alien squirts the compound on Neelix which causes him to have a high fever and fluid in the lungs. (Macrocosm)

Paxau Resort - Janeway initiates the Paxau Resort holodeck program so that the macroviruses will be lured to the holodeck. (Macrocosm)

Pot roast - A 12-kilo pot roast is incinerated when the heating array in the Mess Hall overloads. (Macrocosm)

Quarantine - Voyager sets up a Level 4 quarantine of the Deck 2 after the Doctor discovers that the crew in the Mess Hall have been infected (Macrocosm)

Rinax - Rinax has 3 suns. (Macrocosm)

Rinax marshlands - Neelix grew up near the Rinax marshlands; the summers there were the hottest in the sector with temperatures of 50 degrees and 90% humidity; they had the vicious lavaflies that grew to 6 centimeters long. (Macrocosm)

Shuttle bay - The Doctor hides in a shuttlecraft in the Shuttle bay when he is attacked on Deck 10 by the macroviruses. (Macrocosm)

Synthetic antigen - The Doctor creates a synthetic antigen which inhibits the vrius's ability to replicate; Janeway and the Doctor try to get to Environmental Controls so that they can distribute the antigen through the venitilation system of the ship. (Macrocosm)

Tak Tak - Janeway and Neelix go on a 3 day trade mission to meet with the Tak Tak; Janeway says that they are the most unforgiving people she's ever met; one of the worst insults to the Tak Tak is made by putting your hands on your hips; Neelix believes that their gestures are more than just a language since some of the gestures were ritualistic and almost superstitious; the Tak Tak attack Voyager when they discover that it has been infected by the macrovirus, but Janeway persuades them to stop the attack by offering to share the synthetic antigen with them. (Macrocosm)

Tak Tak ambassador (Albie Selznick) - The Tak Tak ambassador is insulted when Janeway puts her hands on her hips. (Macrocosm)

Thermal scattering signal - Janeway sets her tricorder to emit a thermal scattering signal so that the macrovirus will find it more difficult to find she and the Doctor. (Macrocosm)

Tricorder - Janeway sets her tricorder to emit a thermal scattering signal so that the macrovirus will find it more difficult to find she and the Doctor. (Macrocosm)

USS Voyager - Voyager becomes infected by a macrovirus. (Macrocosm)

Wildman - Janeway and Neelix trace a com signal to Wildman's quarters, but she and the baby are not there; she is one of Neelix's most dedicated viewers of his program "Good Morning Voyager". (Macrocosm)
