This is a sequel to the DS9 episode in which two nit-wit Fengi accidentally became stuck in Delta quantrant by an unstable wormhole. One end was anchored in the Alpha Quadrant, but other end wandered around the Delta Quadrant.
One the planet where the dim-witted duo ended up after they crash landed in the Delta Quandrant, they take advantage of the gullible low-tech locals by pretending to be two gods who descending from the sky when their shuttle came down in the town square.
They quickly figured out how to take advantage of the situation, and they proceeded to collect tribute from the witless rubes by dazzling them with 24th century technology like their replicator.
When the Voyager crew find out about this shameful scam, Janeway feels obligated to free the poor overly trusting suckers from the clutches of the greedy Feriingi!
With that in mind, Neelix appears to the two mercenary aliens — all decked out as a high Feringi official who has come from the Alpha quadrant to collect his share their profits!
Ethan Phillips demonstrates his impressive acting talents with his performance as a Talaxian pretending to a Ferigian.
This is a grand moment in the story! But there's more to enjoy in this great episode.  _________________ ____________
