UPN - Voyager - (STV307)
"Sacred Ground" - Kes is left for dead after she enters a sacred shrine on
the Nechani homeworld and is hit by a mysterious energy burst. The Nechani
explain to Janeway that monks receive purification of their souls in the
shrine and the spirits have punished Kes for trespassing. While Neelix
researches the shrine and the ritual the monks undergo there, Janeway
undergoes the arduous rite of passage herself. Although she is certain
there's a scientific reason for the energy burst, she hopes to beg to the
mercy of the "spirits" and save Kes.
