The hottest singing sensation on an alien world is Voyager’s holographic doctor. Even when his duties call, fame is a powerful temptation… until the next new thing comes along. It’s “Virtuoso” on the charts, with a bullet, on Mission Log.

Voyager appears in the sky of a planet that evolves at an incredibly accelerated rate. Epochs pass, and the “sky ship” takes on spiritual and social meaning to the inhabitants below. As their technology evolves, will they remain curious or turn Voyager into an enemy? Mission Log examines “Blink of an Eye.”

Hosted by John Champion and Holly Amos

There’s no time like some downtime to visit the holodeck. Tom’s new program has it all: beer, arm wrestling, and a handsome barkeep who catches Janeway’s eye. She’s hesitant to let herself go in this idyllic Irish town until she realizes she can program the perfect mate. Mission Log visits “Fair Haven.”
