[color=#000000ost_uid0]"Message in a bottle" - In a nutshell

Voyager, season 4, episode 14:

Seven uses an alien subspace communication network to make contact with an experimental starfleet vessel. Since conventional subspace transmissions will not reach the vessel, the doctor is sent through the comm network to the ship (USS Prometheus). On arrival, the doctor finds out the ship has been taken over by Romulans, and the entire crew is dead. The doctor activates the experimental EMH mark 2 to help him. Romulans use cool 3-piece seperation (Multi-Vector-Assault-Mode) to destroy a pursuing federation vessel. In the meantime, Seven makes first contact with the Hirogen. Doc and EMH2 take control of the Prometheus from the Romulans. Romulan warbirds attempt to get the ship back. 3 additional starfleet vessels attempt to destroy the Prometheus. All ends well.

This was the first time Voyager made contact with the Alpha Quadrant, and arguably the best episode of the series.[/colorost_uid0]
