EPISODE: PRIME FACTORS

Alastria - Eudana takes Kim here so that he can tell her his stories; she tells him that Alastria is about 2 and a half billion times the distance between Sikaris and its sun; Kim calculates this distance to be about 40,000 light years; Alastria is a binary star system. (Prime Factors)

Anti-neutrinos - These are the catalyst for the space folding process; they cause the plasma manifold to become unstable. (Prime Factors)

Atmospheric sensor - Eudana shows Kim how to operate this sensor which indicates changes in weather conditions; it works on a principle of non-linear resonance adjusting to the dynamic variables in the atmosphere. (Prime Factors)

Carey - Carey has a wife and 2 boys; he, Seska and Torres decide to acquire and use the trajector matrix against the captain's orders. (Prime Factors)

Dedestrus - Gath says that the cloth that Janeway likes is from this place. (Prime Factors)

Delaney, Jenny - Jenny Delaney works in stellar cartography with her sister; they went on a trip on the holodeck with Kim and Paris; Jenny Delaney and Kim went on a ride on a gondola in which Kim fell over the side into the water when she became "voracious". (Prime Factors)

Delaney sisters - Kim and Paris took them on a trip to Venice on the holodeck. (Prime Factors)

Erosene Winds - Also called "passion winds" ; these winds on Alastria come just before the dawn; they create euphoria. (Prime Factors)

Eudana (Yvonne Suhor) - Sikarian female; Eudana befriends Kim and shows him the planet Alastria. (Prime Factors)

Folding space principle - The platform on Sikaris works on this principle; this principle has been theorized, but no one has ever been able to develop the technology. (Prime Factors)

Labin, Gathorel (Ronald Guttman) -

Murphy - Male Ensign aboard Voyager; he was seeing one of the Delaney sisters until Kim and Paris "made their move". (Prime Factors)

Neutrino bubble - The spatial trajector creates a neutrino bubble around whatever is being trajected. (Prime Factors)

Nivoch - Seska says that she promised to meet her brother there on his birthday and that he will think she broke her promise if she can't get home. (Prime Factors)

Otel, Jaret (Andrew Hill Newman) - Associate of Gath; Gath tells Janeway that Jaret can take care of anything that Janeway needs while she is on Sikaris; he tells Kim that he will give Voyager the matrix of the trajector in exchange for Voyager's stories. (Prime Factors)

Pecan pie - Janeway shares this dish with Gath while trying to convince him to share Sikarian technology with Voyager in exchange for the finest federation literature. (Prime Factors)

Phase variance - In order to stall Voyager leaving orbit around Sikaris, Torres tells Janeway that a phase variance in conduit 3 has caused thrusters to go offline. (Prime Factors)

Platform - This is a kind of transportation device on Sikaris that works on the principle of folding space. (Prime Factors)

Prime directive - Janeway says that Voyager is on "the other side of the fence" in regards to the Prime directive since the Sikarians won't share their advanced technology with Voyager. (Prime Factors)

Security lockout - Seska wants to override this security lockout in order to beam to Sikaris to exchange Voyager's stories for the trajector's matrix. (Prime Factors)

Sensor logs - Seska wants to erase these in order to avoid taking the blame for the failure of the trajector matrix; Torres refuses to go along with this. (Prime Factors

Seska (Martha Hackett) - Seska wants to erase the sensor logs to avoid getting caught when their test of the matrix fails. (Prime Factors)

Sikaris - A planet known for its hospitality; Gath invites the Voyager crew to enjoy respite on Sikaris; they will not share their spacing folding technology with Voyager. (Prime Factors)

Spatial trajector - Gath calls the platform a spatial trajector; with this trajector they can travel to all the planets in this quadrant; it works on the principle of folding space; Janeway wants to give Sikaris Voyager's stories in exchange for the matrix of the this trajector. (Prime Factors)

Stories - Stories are an essential part of Sikaris's culture; Eudana tells Kim that noble stories most affect their lives; (Prime Factors)

Tetrahedral quartz - Sikaris has a mantle 20 kilometers thick of this material. (Prime Factors)

Trajector matrix Janeway wants to exchange Voyager's stories for this technology of the Sikarians; Torres discovers that it is not compatible with federation technology because of the anti-neutrinos it generates. (Prime Factors)
