On Voyager, the crew has learned that the sensor array was not abandoned but is claimed by the Hirogen, who announce themselves and demand that Voyager disconnect at once. Prometheus overpowers and destroys one of the Romulan warbirds the Romulans retreat and a Starfleet security detail arrives aboard. The EMH Mark II stumbles upon the command to put the ship into multi-vector assault mode. In the ensuing battle, all six other vessels target Prometheus. Unfamiliar with the helm and weapons systems, the two EMH programs fail to fool the Romulans into leaving, before three more Starfleet vessels arrive. Just after they take control, Prometheus is intercepted by three Romulan D'deridex-class warbirds. The ruse fails but when he is captured and interrogated, the Doctor keeps the Romulans stalled long enough for the EMH Mark II to fool the ship's computer into opening the filters, permitting the distribution of the gas. Using the pretense of an infection on board, the Doctor goes to the bridge to open the atmospheric filters to flood the ship with anesthetizing gas.
The Romulans do not view EMHs as threats. The second EMH cites protocol for an EMH to deactivate when its vessel is taken over but Voyager 's doctor notes that they cannot do so as both ships are at risk. The Doctor learns from the other EMH of the Dominion War, which the Federation is fighting in and Romulans have not entered. Seeking assistance, the Doctor activates the Prometheus 's EMH ( Andy Dick), a Mark II version of the program. Being pursued by the USS Bonchune, the Romulans initiate the first test of the new multi-vector assault mode, in which Prometheus splits into three pieces to engage hostile ships. He learns from a dying crewman that the Romulans had learned of the prototype and captured it, killing all onboard. The Doctor arrives in the sickbay of the USS Prometheus, a secret experimental Federation warship. Thinking that a holographic signal would not degrade, they send the Doctor, Voyager 's Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH). Hoping to contact Starfleet after more than three years in the Delta Quadrant, Voyager 's crew attempts to send a message along the relay but it is reflected back after degrading en route. Patching into this, she is able to locate a United Federation of Planets vessel in the Alpha Quadrant. Seven of Nine uses the newly extended range of the starship USS Voyager (NCC-74656) 's sensors to locate an unattended network of alien sensor stations. The exterior visual shots by Foundation were done using computer generated imagery.
The interior sets of the same spacecraft were designed by Richard James. The exterior of the fictional spacecraft depicted in the episode was designed by Rich Sternbach with special effect sequence by Foundation Imaging. The starship forms both a major plot element and theatrical location for Message in a Bottle. Prometheus, which was designed by Rick Sternbach for the show. This episode features a new Federation ship design called the U.S.S. Using an ancient alien relay network, the ship's holographic Doctor is transmitted to the Alpha Quadrant to make contact with Starfleet Command.
