Examining the remains, the Equinox crew found that the being's cellular structure contained high levels of nucleogenic energy. The energy from one lifeform was enough to increase their warp factor by .03% for a month, and by killing more lifeforms the Equinox was able to travel ten thousand light years in less than two weeks. At the time the Equinox encountered Voyager, it would have taken 63 more lifeforms for them to return to the Alpha Quadrant. The lifeforms retaliated by attacking the Equinox, weakening its shields by opening interspatial fissures in close proximity. Whenever the shields failed, the lifeforms entered the ship and induced lethal thermolytic reactions in crew members' bodies through touch. | Examining the remains, the Equinox crew found that the being's cellular structure contained high levels of nucleogenic energy.

By 2375, the Equinox was nearly disabled by the lifeforms' attacks and would have succumbed, were it not for the USS Voyager's timely intervention. Personnel from both ships cooperatively developed an auto-initiating security grid that would trap the lifeforms whenever they appeared. After the Equinox crew's actions were discovered, they broke out of confinement and stole the field generator for the security grid. This staved off further attacks, though Captain Rudolph Ransom began to have second thoughts about killing the lifeforms. He was ultimately relieved of command by his executive officer, Maxwell Burke. | By 2375, the Equinox was nearly disabled by the lifeforms' attacks and would have succumbed, were it not for the USS Voyager's timely intervention.

Meanwhile, the lifeforms continued to besiege Voyager. As they were unable to capture the Equinox or develop a translation matrix for the lifeforms' language, Commander Chakotay suggested that they seek out the Ankari as intermediaries. Through them, Captain Kathryn Janeway promised the lifeforms that she would allow them to destroy the Equinox if they halted their attacks. When Voyager caught up with the Equinox, Ransom beamed most of his crew onto Voyager and dropped the Equinox's shields. The lifeforms invaded the ship, killing the remaining crew and attacking the warp core. They withdrew back to their native realm after the Equinox was destroyed.
