When Rok lets him out, Murf springs into action and easily overwhelms the Romulans, leading Gwyn to declare that they have a new security officer. On the space elevator, Murf is desperate to be released from the containment pod that he's housed in. Monitoring the Romulans' activities from the USS Dauntless, Janeway, over the loud objection of Ensign Asencia, orders a full spread of torpedoes to be fired at the Protostar in order to keep the ship from being captured. The crew are pursued by the Tal Shiar squad as they attempt to escape through the space elevator, As Okona runs off at the first opportunity, Dal is able to fight off the Romulans with his newfound, and rapidly expanding, genetic traits. Meanwhile a Tal Shiar squad arrives on Nobel Isle in order to take the Protostar. Ensign Asencia volunteers to covertly enter the Neutral Zone to get the ship, but Janeway states that she isn’t ready to defy orders. Unwilling to risk the current negotiations with the Romulans, Jellico denies her request and tells her to destroy the Protostar if the Romulans seize it. On the other side of the Neutral Zone, Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway contacts her superior at Starfleet Command – Admiral Edward Jellico – to get clearance to enter the Zone to retrieve the Protostar so that the weapon on board doesn't fall into Romulan hands. Though the crew assures Dal that he doesn't need fixing, he secretly has Jago perform the procedure. When Dal bemoans the fact that he has no family and is just a "failed experiment," Jago states that she can fix Dal by implanting an epigenetic dermal device which will activate his dormant genes. Jago is fascinated by Dal and, after conducting a brief scan to confirm her suspicions, she reports that Dal is a Human hybrid, composed of the recessive DNA of 26 alien species, created by the protégés of Arik Soong. Okona takes them to the lab of his client, a geneticist named Dr. With the USS Protostar in need of repairs, Okona suggests that they port at Noble Isle – a port which can only be accessed through a space elevator because of heavy ion storms in the atmosphere, where science is unregulated. A jealous Dal silently fumes over the crew's fawning over their guest, Thadiun Okona.
