Synopsis
When Voyager detects replicator technology and Alpha Quadrant inhabitants on a nearby planet, Chakotay and Paris transport there to find an impoverished, struggling society. They soon find a palatial temple and two Ferengi — Arridor and Kol — decked out in silk and gold jewels who are passing themselves off as demigods to the people there. It's up to Chakotay and Paris, with the help of Neelix, to thwart them.
