Alice ( ship ) Alice was the name that Tom Paris gave to an alien shuttlecraft he bought from Abaddon ' s Repository of Lost Treasures in the Delta Quadrant . The ship ' s computer contained a program that could manifest itself as a person to its pilot . History . At some point in the mid - 24th century , Abaddon bought the alien ship from a Haakonian trader . Abaddon tried turning the ship into a towing vessel , but found the ship to require constant repairs . Abaddon found that its neurogenic interface made him see a woman , the personification of the alien ship . She told him that he was incompatible with her systems , and to find a pilot that was . He decided not to tell future prospects about this detail . In 2376 , the came across what they thought was a fleet of ships . It was in fact Abaddon ' s repository . He immediately hailed them offering his services . While looking through his inventory of things to trade , the alien ship caught Lieutenant Paris ' eye ; stating that " " it ' s a work of art . That ship wasn ' t assembled , it was sculpted . " " All Abaddon asked for it was " three used power cells and Tom ' s interactive record collection . " Chakotay told him they already had a full complement of shuttles , but as Paris was clearly eager to get it , Chakotay approved . Abaddon told him that the alien ship was special , and that he ' d only sell it to a pilot he knew would take care of her . They left his establishment , and continued towards the Alpha Quadrant . Tom Paris went directly to restoring the vessel . Harry Kim , who Tom Paris had volunteered to help restore the alien ship , assisted him in trying to start the ship up for the first time . Paris decided to name it " " Alice " " , after Alice Battisti , whom he had pursued at the Academy . They found that the ship ' s power systems burned through power cells quickly , and just starting it up and running the neurogenic interface burned another one out . Paris became obsessed with the alien ship to the point that he started ignoring B ' Elanna Torres . " Alice " was able to project itself in Paris ' mind as an attractive woman . The more he used the interface , the more he came under control of it . When Paris began to resist " Alice " and attempted to go to sickbay , " Alice " was able to send a small shock to Paris ' brain , causing severe pain . With this " " Alice " " was able to make him launch the craft , and he became one with the machine and headed for a particle fountain , which " Alice " referred to as " home " . Because Paris ' mind was linked with the ship , weapons fired by " Voyager " hurt Paris directly . To defeat this Janeway ordered The Doctor to link Paris ' and B ' Elanna Torres ' minds to distract Paris long enough to allow Tuvok to shut " Alice " down and beam Paris back to " Voyager " before " Alice " was destroyed in the particle fountain . Technology . One of " Alice " s many features was a neurogenic interface , which allowed a pilot to physically bond with the alien ship ' s computer . When the pilot was seated , a brace would extend from the headrest of the pilot ' s chair halfway around the pilot ' s head . This allowed the alien ship to read the pilot ' s thoughts . ( ) The ship had multiphasic shielding and an optronic weapons array capable of firing pulses which were capable of disrupting tractor beam s . ( ) Appendices . Background information . " Alice " was voiced by Claire Rankin , who also portrayed the Human and Abaddon ' s species illusion of Alice . Tom ' s Alice was described in the script as " " a young human woman wearing civilian clothing . She ' s attractive , seductive , and exists only in Tom ' s mind . As we ' ll learn , she ' s a manifestation of the neural interface he shares with the ship . " " According to a deleted scene at the very end of the episode , the scene cuts back to an image Abaddon facing the camera , giving his introduction to the screen , before cutting to his voice over while the camera pans his junkyard " " . . . until it finds " Alice , " battered and rusting much as we first saw her . " " The episode fades out " " off the unsettling image of the little ship waiting for its next owner . . . " " For more information on the studio model , see VOY studio models .
