After Ensign Kim suddenly exhibits abnormal behavior, he instinctively leads the U.S.S. Voyager to a mysterious planet, the Taresian homeworld. There, a shocking story of his birth is told by members of the almost exclusively female population — that Kim is part Taresian — and they want him for reproductive purposes.

• Male children are very rare on Taresia. They plant viruses that change the structure of other species males into Taresian. They are drawn to Taresia by instinct. The females then drain the male of all genetic material, killing him in the process.
