The protomatter hits Voyager's shuttle.

A class-1 nebula was encountered by the wayward Federation Intrepid-class starship USS Voyager on stardate 51449.2 in the 2374 on the ship's return trip to the Alpha Quadrant. The crew sent a Type-6 shuttlecraft to investigate. A lightning-like beam of protomatter hit the shuttle. Its deflector shield flared up, then Chef Neelix was struck by the protomatter and died. Seven of Nine used her nanoprobes to revive Neelix.
