Later that year, Paris attempted to use a photonic missile to destroy an oxygen refinery under the surface of a large, spaceborne ocean, in an unauthorized attempt to stop the ocean's inhabitants, the Moneans, from damaging the containment field keeping the ocean intact. Before the missile could impact the refinery, however, it was intercepted and destroyed by a photon torpedo fired from Voyager. ()
