Neelix (Ethan Phillips) directs the crew to a planet supposedly rich in dilithium, but during an away-team survey, he is attacked by a humanoid alien who surgically removes his lungs. Transported to sick bay, Neelix's only hope is a pair of holographic lungs programmed by the Doctor (Robert Picardo). Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) heads a search for the aliens, the Vidiians, that leads to an asteroid that serves as a base. When confronted, the aliens admit to stealing Neelix's organs, but defend themselves by telling the story of the "phage," a bizarre disease that attacks their people, eating away at their bodies and organs until they are forced to scavenge others as substitutes. The aliens explain to Janeway that they have already transformed the lungs for their own use, but they agree to help Neelix, and perform an emergency lung transplant with a willing donor, Kes (Jennifer Lein).

The Voyager's sensors detect a nebula emitting a high level of useful omicron particles, and the Captain decides to collect some and do a bit of exploring. Neelix (Ethan Phillips) can't believe Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) entered the nebula, but Kes (Jennifer Lein) speaks up for the romance of exploration until they turn to see globules splattering and attaching themselves to the ship's hull. After sampling the globules, B'Elanna (Roxann Biggs-Dawson) and the Doctor (Robert Picardo) both agree that Voyager is actually inside a life-form. After struggling to escape, they re-enter the living nebula and use a phaser suture to "sew up" the damaged area and avert the crisis.
