He protected her from the guards while she contacted the ship.

The brainwashing plot was foiled and Janeway and the rest of the crew were restored to their true identity. Janeway decided to return to her former life.

SPECIES: Quarren Male

Kadan was a Quarren doctor who used drugs to control people who were kidnapped and used for the Quarren workforce. He made false diagnoses on people, altered their memories so he could solve the work shortage on his planet. Almost all of the USS Voyager crew was subject to this treatment.
Chakotay, who was on an away mission when the crew was kidnapped, returned to the plant and attempted to expose the plot.

Kadan had him arrested and altered his memories also. Seven of Nine who was brainwashed, became suspicious and accused him of the mind altering. Kadan was enraged that one of his associates, Dr. Ravoc, allowed Seven to access files. Ravoc confronted Kadan, and he admitted what he had done. Kadan claimed it was to cure the labor shortage and improve the patients' lives, making them productive people. Kadan was also paid a large sum of money to do this. He said that the Quarren Ministry of Health was behind him and that there were those in Law Enforcement that were involved. Ravoc threatened to report him, and Kadan tried to alter his memories.

After a police officer named Yerid was convinced by Chakotay of the plot, he helped free the Voyager crew and arrested Kadan, exposing the conspiracy to the authorities.

SPECIES: Quarren Male

He was an associate of Dr. Kadan who was performing brainwashing techniques to wipe the memories of kidnapped humanoids who the Quarrans used for their work force. Dr. Ravoc was not aware of what Kadan was doing. He was also unaware that his government sanctioned these procedures. When Chakotay tried to rescue the USS Voyager crew who was subjected to the procedure, Dr. Ravoc was ordered by Kadan to transfer Chakotay to a neuropathology unit. He was told that Chakotay was suffering from mental illness.

Seven of Nine, who was brainwashed but was having flashbacks, went to Dr. Ravoc to tell him about her problem. Ravoc became suspicious of Kadan's diagnoses of mental illness, and discovered Kadan's illegal actions. He was shocked when Kadan told him that the government had sanctioned his actions to relieve the worker shortage on the planet.

Chatokay told Yerid about the kidnapped crew of USS Voyager, which Yerid at first did not believe. Seven of Nine also contacted him and expressed her concerns that more than a hundred employees started work on the same day, and most were the same species. Yerid informed her that he had been relieved of duty, but he did not stop his investigation. He contacted Kathryn Janeway, and eventually formed an alliance with her, Jaffen, Seven and Tom Paris to get to the bottom of the conspiracy. He helped Seven free Chakotay and Tuvok.
