1
00:00:19,152 --> 00:00:20,517
Welcome to Earth.
2
00:00:20,587 --> 00:00:24,387
l am Admiral Bullock and l will
be your commanding officer
3
00:00:24,457 --> 00:00:26,152
for the next six months.
4
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:28,922
Questions, comments--
bring them to me.
5
00:00:28,995 --> 00:00:33,227
Problems--
talk to Lieutenant Kinis.
6
00:00:33,299 --> 00:00:34,823
Larson...
7
00:00:34,934 --> 00:00:37,198
you're assigned
to the Federation Counsel
8
00:00:37,303 --> 00:00:38,565
Deputy Liaison Officer.
9
00:00:38,671 --> 00:00:42,471
Young and Reiskin, report
to Orbital Flight Control.
10
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:45,306
You'll be monitoring incoming
vessels from the Bolian sector.
11
00:00:45,378 --> 00:00:47,369
Report back
to your commanding officer
12
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:49,813
as soon as you've completed
your assignments.
13
00:03:08,922 --> 00:03:10,890
l can save you
some time there, son.
14
00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:12,891
They're bamboo.
15
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:14,459
l know that.
16
00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:17,428
Unfortunately, my tricorder
is reading them as maple trees.
17
00:03:17,497 --> 00:03:19,692
l think the isodyne relays
must be malfunctioning.
18
00:03:19,766 --> 00:03:21,893
Well, why don't you pay a
visit to Logistical Support?
19
00:03:22,001 --> 00:03:23,662
Maybe they'll issue
you a new one.
20
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:24,702
Good idea.
21
00:03:24,771 --> 00:03:26,170
l'm going that way myself.
22
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:27,228
Mind some company?
23
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:28,307
Not at all.
24
00:03:28,408 --> 00:03:30,569
So, what's your assignment here?
25
00:03:30,643 --> 00:03:31,769
l don't know.
26
00:03:31,844 --> 00:03:33,744
l haven't received
my orders yet.
27
00:03:33,813 --> 00:03:34,745
l just arrived.
28
00:03:34,814 --> 00:03:35,746
From where?
29
00:03:35,815 --> 00:03:37,840
A three-year tour
on the lntrepid.
30
00:03:37,917 --> 00:03:39,145
ls that a fact?
31
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:41,847
l thought the lntrepid was
patrolling the Neutral Zone.
32
00:03:41,921 --> 00:03:46,153
lt is. l caught a transport
vessel at Deep Space 7.
33
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:49,718
Got tired of wrestling
with the Romulans?
34
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:51,957
Let's just say
it's good to be back.
35
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:54,192
What about yourself?
36
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:56,666
How long have you been
posted here, Mister...?
37
00:03:56,769 --> 00:03:59,738
Boothby. Boothby is the name.
38
00:03:59,839 --> 00:04:01,136
Boothby, l've heard of you.
39
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:02,265
l should hope so.
40
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:05,243
l've been tending these
grounds for 54 years.
41
00:04:05,311 --> 00:04:07,575
Give or take a few months.
42
00:04:07,647 --> 00:04:08,875
And beautiful grounds they are.
43
00:04:09,015 --> 00:04:10,004
Mm-hmm.
44
00:04:11,784 --> 00:04:12,842
Logistical Support.
45
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,819
Straight through
the main complex,
46
00:04:14,887 --> 00:04:16,354
second door on your right.
47
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:17,821
Thank you.
48
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:19,414
Commander.
49
00:04:19,492 --> 00:04:21,460
Logistics is a secure area.
50
00:04:21,527 --> 00:04:24,894
They won't let you in
with that holo-imaging device.
51
00:04:24,964 --> 00:04:26,727
Fresh from the Neutral Zone...
52
00:04:26,799 --> 00:04:29,427
You're not a Romulan
double agent are you, son?
53
00:04:29,535 --> 00:04:31,901
Actually, l was just
recording a few images
54
00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:33,370
for my friends back home.
55
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,270
Would you mind
posing for a shot?
56
00:04:35,341 --> 00:04:37,673
Me? You want a picture of me?
57
00:04:37,744 --> 00:04:38,711
The one and only Boothby.
58
00:04:38,811 --> 00:04:40,039
My friends would be impressed.
59
00:04:40,113 --> 00:04:43,082
Well, when you put it that way.
60
00:04:43,149 --> 00:04:44,582
Cadet!
61
00:04:44,651 --> 00:04:45,982
Take our picture, will you?
62
00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:51,456
Don't cut off our heads.
63
00:04:57,397 --> 00:04:59,888
l expect a copy of that,
young man.
64
00:05:26,092 --> 00:05:27,559
You're in my seat.
65
00:05:28,995 --> 00:05:31,520
And you're reading my book.
66
00:05:31,597 --> 00:05:34,327
You want my drink, too?
67
00:05:34,434 --> 00:05:36,561
Depends. What is it?
68
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:40,605
Klingon martini-- vermouth,
gin, with a dash of bloodwine.
69
00:05:40,673 --> 00:05:43,938
Bloodwine--
never touch the stuff.
70
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:46,375
What do you like?
71
00:05:46,446 --> 00:05:49,142
Excuse me, l was
waiting for a friend.
72
00:05:49,215 --> 00:05:50,876
Valerie Archer.
73
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:52,440
Hayek. Jason Hayek.
74
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:53,450
Nice tattoo.
75
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:55,180
l bet there's a story behind it.
76
00:05:55,254 --> 00:05:58,621
A long one.
77
00:05:58,691 --> 00:06:00,318
A Cave Beyond Logic:
78
00:06:00,393 --> 00:06:03,829
Vulcan Perspectives
on Platonic Thought.
79
00:06:03,896 --> 00:06:05,454
Sounds fascinating.
80
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:06,964
You can borrow it if you like.
81
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:08,398
Thanks anyway.
l can only take
82
00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:10,435
small doses
of Vulcan philosophy.
83
00:06:10,503 --> 00:06:12,130
Stationed here?
84
00:06:12,238 --> 00:06:13,569
Temporarily.
85
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:15,129
Where do you call home?
86
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:20,508
You first.
Where are you from?
87
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:23,640
Everywhere. My parents
were starship officers.
88
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:27,049
By the time l was ten,
l'd seen half the Quadrant.
89
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,382
Starfleet brat.
90
00:06:28,454 --> 00:06:30,183
Bratty as they come.
91
00:06:43,136 --> 00:06:45,127
Can l ask you a question?
92
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,138
Have you ever reverted?
93
00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:49,572
Reverted?
94
00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:50,939
Not yet.
95
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:54,205
Ensign O'Halloran, this is
his third time this week.
96
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:57,579
lf it happens again, they'll
pull him out of training.
97
00:06:57,650 --> 00:06:59,481
What about you?
98
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:00,883
Any trouble?
99
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:02,647
Oh, l can keep my human form.
100
00:07:02,722 --> 00:07:04,815
lt's the little things
that bother me.
101
00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:06,221
Little things?
102
00:07:06,292 --> 00:07:07,623
Breathing oxygen,
103
00:07:07,693 --> 00:07:09,752
bipedal locomotion,
and sleeping--
104
00:07:09,829 --> 00:07:13,356
the concept of being unconscious
for eight hours a night,
105
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:14,832
it's so... alien.
106
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:16,025
l know what you mean.
107
00:07:16,135 --> 00:07:17,830
That's why l started
reading their books.
108
00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:20,336
For some reason,
it helps me relax.
109
00:07:20,406 --> 00:07:23,136
But we shouldn't be
talking about this.
110
00:07:23,209 --> 00:07:26,337
Think human. Talk human.
Be human. Remember?
111
00:07:26,412 --> 00:07:29,745
How could l forget?
112
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:32,011
So, had a chance
to take a look around?
113
00:07:32,084 --> 00:07:33,813
Not yet.
114
00:07:33,886 --> 00:07:35,820
Headquarters has
a lot more to offer
115
00:07:35,888 --> 00:07:37,879
than conference rooms
and consoles...
116
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:39,514
if you have the right guide.
117
00:07:39,592 --> 00:07:41,685
ls that an invitation?
118
00:07:41,761 --> 00:07:44,195
l get off duty at 1900 hours.
119
00:07:44,263 --> 00:07:45,195
Commander.
120
00:07:45,264 --> 00:07:46,697
Speak of the devil.
121
00:07:46,766 --> 00:07:50,167
We were just discussing
Vulcan philosophy.
122
00:07:50,269 --> 00:07:51,361
Join us.
123
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:52,938
Another time perhaps.
124
00:07:53,005 --> 00:07:54,404
We have work to do.
125
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:56,465
Oh, can't it wait?
126
00:07:56,576 --> 00:07:58,237
l'm afraid not.
127
00:07:58,311 --> 00:07:59,710
What about tonight?
128
00:07:59,779 --> 00:08:01,076
Do we have a date?
129
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:02,112
1900 hours--
130
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,581
meet you right here.
131
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:05,048
l'll do my best.
132
00:08:05,117 --> 00:08:06,812
Live long and prosper.
133
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:11,419
A ''date''?
134
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,686
Relax, Tuvok.
l plan on standing her up.
135
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,728
We agreed to limit our
investigation to surveillance.
136
00:08:16,796 --> 00:08:18,195
lt was worth the risk.
137
00:08:18,264 --> 00:08:19,822
She talked about training.
138
00:08:19,899 --> 00:08:22,868
These are some kind of aliens
learning to pose as humans.
139
00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:23,958
For what purpose?
140
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:25,731
l don't know.
l didn't get that far.
141
00:08:25,838 --> 00:08:28,500
We're due back at the
transporter coordinates.
142
00:08:36,115 --> 00:08:37,412
Excuse me! Gentlemen!
143
00:08:37,483 --> 00:08:40,213
You've entered a restricted
area, captains and above.
144
00:08:40,286 --> 00:08:41,651
Sorry, we didn't realize...
145
00:08:41,721 --> 00:08:44,053
l'm going to have
to ask you to come with me.
146
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:45,055
Why?
147
00:08:45,124 --> 00:08:46,557
All unauthorized personnel
148
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:48,890
are to be debriefed
by Starfleet lntelligence.
149
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:51,189
Direct orders
from Admiral Bullock.
150
00:08:51,264 --> 00:08:54,199
Listen, Ensign, we're late for a
meeting with Starfleet Command.
151
00:08:54,267 --> 00:08:55,734
The debriefing
will have to wait.
152
00:08:55,835 --> 00:08:57,427
l'm sorry, Commander.
153
00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:02,307
Very well.
154
00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:06,272
When he regains consciousness,
155
00:09:06,345 --> 00:09:08,108
he'll no doubt want
to report this incident.
156
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:10,671
Chakotay to Paris.
Three to beam up.
157
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:11,682
Three?
158
00:09:11,751 --> 00:09:13,048
l'll explain later.
159
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:19,282
Who's that?
160
00:09:19,358 --> 00:09:20,825
One of Starfleet's finest.
161
00:09:20,927 --> 00:09:22,087
Take us to Voyager.
162
00:09:22,161 --> 00:09:24,561
What did you find down there?
163
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:25,927
Earth.
164
00:09:37,176 --> 00:09:38,507
Welcome aboard.
165
00:09:39,545 --> 00:09:41,274
Where am l?
166
00:09:41,347 --> 00:09:42,644
On a starship.
167
00:09:42,715 --> 00:09:44,080
What starship?
168
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:45,879
Why have you brought me here?
169
00:09:45,985 --> 00:09:47,748
l'll be reporting this
incident to the Admiral.
170
00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:49,754
You can drop the charade.
We know you're not human.
171
00:09:49,822 --> 00:09:50,880
Who are you?
172
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:53,151
Gentry, David.
173
00:09:53,225 --> 00:09:55,887
Rank: Ensign.
174
00:09:55,995 --> 00:09:59,226
Starfleet service number
9-9-beta-3-2-7-8.
175
00:09:59,298 --> 00:10:00,629
Planet of origin: Earth.
176
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:03,794
We're not interested in your
knowledge of human culture.
177
00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:06,064
We're not part
of your re-creation.
178
00:10:06,172 --> 00:10:08,231
l'm Captain Janeway
179
00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:10,741
of the Federation
Starship Voyager.
180
00:10:10,810 --> 00:10:12,072
l'm from Earth.
181
00:10:12,144 --> 00:10:13,406
You're not.
182
00:10:13,479 --> 00:10:16,039
Gentry, David.
183
00:10:16,115 --> 00:10:17,548
Rank: Ensign.
184
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:21,610

185
00:10:21,687 --> 00:10:23,086
Doctor.
186
00:10:23,155 --> 00:10:25,055
What are you doing?
187
00:10:25,124 --> 00:10:26,785
l need a sample of your DNA.
188
00:10:26,859 --> 00:10:28,121
Why?
189
00:10:28,194 --> 00:10:29,752
Since you won't
tell us who you are,
190
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:31,956
we have no choice
but to find out for ourselves.
191
00:10:32,098 --> 00:10:33,395
You won't be harmed.
192
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:35,525
Gentry to Headquarters.
Security alert!
193
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,034
We've disabled your combadge.
194
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:38,770
No!
195
00:10:39,805 --> 00:10:40,897
Don't touch me.
196
00:10:41,007 --> 00:10:42,599
Disease!
197
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:44,141
Humans!
198
00:10:53,019 --> 00:10:54,850
lt appears he's released
199
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,388
a cellular toxin
into his bloodstream.
200
00:10:57,456 --> 00:10:58,923
He's dead.
201
00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:06,660
Captain's Log, supplemental.
202
00:11:06,732 --> 00:11:09,326
Until we know
exactly what's going on,
203
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:12,893
l'm keeping Voyager concealed
behind a class-3 moon.
204
00:11:13,072 --> 00:11:15,632
Federation Council,
Astrophysics,
205
00:11:15,741 --> 00:11:17,675
Starfleet Medical Complex.
206
00:11:17,743 --> 00:11:19,870
They even re-created
the officers' club--
207
00:11:19,945 --> 00:11:21,378
the Quantum Cafe.
208
00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:23,745
Computer, return
to time index 4228.
209
00:11:25,918 --> 00:11:26,850
That's Boothby.
210
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:27,886
Captain?
211
00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:30,820
The head groundskeeper
at Starfleet Academy.
212
00:11:30,890 --> 00:11:32,152
When l was a cadet,
213
00:11:32,224 --> 00:11:34,715
he used to give me fresh
roses for my quarters.
214
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:37,388
lt's safe to assume
this individual is not Boothby.
215
00:11:37,463 --> 00:11:39,328
Whoever they are,
they've gathered
216
00:11:39,398 --> 00:11:42,890
incredibly accurate information
about Starfleet Headquarters.
217
00:11:43,002 --> 00:11:45,436
Perhaps they had access
to a Federation database.
218
00:11:45,504 --> 00:11:47,768
Or they've been
to San Francisco.
219
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,808
The habitat's population
consists
220
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:52,275
of humans, Vulcans,
Bolians, Ferengi...
221
00:11:52,344 --> 00:11:54,278
All Alpha Quadrant species.
222
00:11:54,346 --> 00:11:55,472
What do we know
223
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,539
about this artificial
environment, Seven?
224
00:11:57,616 --> 00:11:59,015
l've used the tricorder data
225
00:11:59,085 --> 00:12:00,677
holo-images
and astrometric scans
226
00:12:00,753 --> 00:12:03,620
to extrapolate a cross-section
of the interior.
227
00:12:03,689 --> 00:12:05,782
l believe they used
a combination
228
00:12:05,858 --> 00:12:09,021
of holographic projection
and particle synthesis.
229
00:12:09,095 --> 00:12:10,187
Power source?
230
00:12:10,262 --> 00:12:11,524
There are 13
231
00:12:11,597 --> 00:12:13,326
thermionic generators
beneath the city.
232
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,162
l can't identify
the energy signatures.
233
00:12:15,267 --> 00:12:16,598
The habitat's heavily fortified.
234
00:12:16,702 --> 00:12:18,693
They are well prepared
to defend against an attack.
235
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:19,828
Sick Bay to Captain.
236
00:12:19,939 --> 00:12:20,871
Go ahead.
237
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:22,601
l've completed
my postmortem analysis.
238
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:23,903
You'd better get down here.
239
00:12:23,976 --> 00:12:26,376
On my way.
lf this is a training ground,
240
00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:30,245
it could mean they're planning
an invasion of the Federation.
241
00:12:30,316 --> 00:12:32,409
We should prepare for the worst.
242
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,751
See if you can find a way
to penetrate their defenses.
243
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:44,888
He may look human,
he may sound human,
244
00:12:44,964 --> 00:12:46,295
he may even smell human,
245
00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:48,060
but there's no question--
he's alien.
246
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,896
Was he genetically altered?
247
00:12:50,002 --> 00:12:52,232
On a highly sophisticated level.
248
00:12:52,338 --> 00:12:53,896
lf it weren't
for microcellular scans,
249
00:12:54,006 --> 00:12:55,598
l wouldn't be able
to distinguish him
250
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:57,369
from the genuine article.
251
00:12:57,443 --> 00:12:59,877
l've managed to isolate
the alien DNA.
252
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:03,540
Fortunately, most of his cells
are still chemically active.
253
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:06,083
lf l use
a cytokinetic injection,
254
00:13:06,118 --> 00:13:09,144
l should be able to trigger
a genetic reversion.
255
00:13:09,221 --> 00:13:11,189
Do it.
256
00:13:41,954 --> 00:13:46,653
Talk about a wolf
in sheep's clothing.
257
00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:48,158
Species 8472.
258
00:13:48,227 --> 00:13:49,660
The question is:
259
00:13:49,728 --> 00:13:53,357
Why are they training
to pose as human beings?
260
00:13:53,432 --> 00:13:54,660
Back in the 20th century,
261
00:13:54,733 --> 00:13:56,758
the Soviets used
to build American towns
262
00:13:56,869 --> 00:13:59,736
to train their agents to
infiltrate the United States.
263
00:13:59,805 --> 00:14:02,501
Species 8472 could be doing
the same thing.
264
00:14:02,608 --> 00:14:03,540
They're going
265
00:14:03,576 --> 00:14:05,339
to infiltrate
the Alpha Quadrant.
266
00:14:05,411 --> 00:14:07,003
Maybe they already have.
267
00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:08,842
Tom's right.
How else could they
268
00:14:08,914 --> 00:14:10,973
have gathered their
information about us?
269
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:13,041
Perhaps they acquired it
from the Borg.
270
00:14:13,118 --> 00:14:15,018
lt doesn't matter
how they got their data.
271
00:14:15,087 --> 00:14:17,487
We need to find out
what they intend to do with it.
272
00:14:17,556 --> 00:14:20,184
lf our previous experience
is any indication,
273
00:14:20,259 --> 00:14:22,386
they will try to destroy Earth.
274
00:14:22,461 --> 00:14:23,894
A logical assumption.
275
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,830
They did threaten to purge
our galaxy of all life.
276
00:14:26,899 --> 00:14:28,833
Tuvok, keep working on a way
277
00:14:28,901 --> 00:14:31,165
to target
their habitat's power source.
278
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:34,706
We're going to need nanoprobe
warheads and plenty of them.
279
00:14:34,807 --> 00:14:36,365
Seven, see to it.
280
00:14:36,475 --> 00:14:37,908
Yes, Captain.
281
00:14:37,977 --> 00:14:40,468
ln the meantime,
l've got a date to keep.
282
00:14:40,546 --> 00:14:42,343
l made contact
with one of them--
283
00:14:42,414 --> 00:14:44,177
Commander Valerie Archer.
284
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:46,514
Maybe l can capitalize
on the relationship,
285
00:14:46,585 --> 00:14:48,917
get a better idea
of what they're planning.
286
00:14:48,988 --> 00:14:51,786
Tom, Harry, take him back
in the Delta Flyer.
287
00:14:51,857 --> 00:14:54,382
Keep a constant transporter lock
on him.
288
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:58,794
lf Species 8472
attacks Earth...
289
00:14:58,864 --> 00:15:02,061
the Federation won't have
any defenses against them
290
00:15:02,167 --> 00:15:03,828
and l don't need to remind you
291
00:15:03,969 --> 00:15:06,597
that we have no way
to warn Starfleet Command.
292
00:15:06,705 --> 00:15:09,401
Voyager may be the last defense
293
00:15:09,475 --> 00:15:12,342
against an all-out invasion
of Earth.
294
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:25,283
Last minute preparations?
295
00:15:25,357 --> 00:15:27,382
Just planning my big night out.
296
00:15:27,459 --> 00:15:31,293
l can recommend a nice Japanese
replimat on the Embarcadero.
297
00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:33,797
l was never very good
with chopsticks.
298
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:35,356
Starfleet Headquarters.
299
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:36,731
Brings back memories
300
00:15:36,835 --> 00:15:38,894
even if it is
just a re-creation.
301
00:15:39,004 --> 00:15:40,938
l remember my last visit there.
302
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,703
l was given my general orders
for Voyager's first mission--
303
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:47,712
proceed to the Badlands,
and find the Maquis.
304
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:50,112
The orders
that brought us together.
305
00:15:50,182 --> 00:15:51,376
What about you?
306
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:54,283
When was the last time
you were at Headquarters?
307
00:15:54,353 --> 00:15:55,342
Before today?
308
00:15:55,421 --> 00:15:58,083
March 3, 2368--
309
00:15:58,157 --> 00:15:59,886
the day l resigned
my commission.
310
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,757
l can still remember
the look on the Admiral's face.
311
00:16:02,861 --> 00:16:03,953
Which one?
312
00:16:03,996 --> 00:16:05,258
Namimby.
313
00:16:05,331 --> 00:16:07,424
He taught at the Academy,
didn't he?
314
00:16:07,499 --> 00:16:08,523
That's right.
315
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,160
lnterspecies ethics, wasn't it?
316
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:13,500
Tactical analysis.
317
00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:15,072
Of course.
318
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:20,577
Kathryn, you think
l might be one of them.
319
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:21,738
You're testing me.
320
00:16:23,782 --> 00:16:25,875
You and Tuvok were
in the alien habitat
321
00:16:25,951 --> 00:16:27,213
for nearly three hours.
322
00:16:27,286 --> 00:16:29,481
Anything could have
happened down there.
323
00:16:29,555 --> 00:16:30,886
True.
324
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:33,288
Why don't you have Tuvok
meet us in Sick Bay?
325
00:16:33,359 --> 00:16:35,827
The Doctor can perform
a microcellular analysis.
326
00:16:35,894 --> 00:16:37,691
Tuvok's already there.
327
00:16:37,763 --> 00:16:42,166
You could've just asked me
to report to Sick Bay.
328
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:44,235
Given Ensign Gentry's reaction,
329
00:16:44,336 --> 00:16:48,238
l thought l'd be
a little more tactful.
330
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:52,041
You're not taking
any chances, are you?
331
00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:53,135
Don't feel singled out.
332
00:16:53,212 --> 00:16:55,203
l've asked the Doctor
to examine the entire crew.
333
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,679
There's no telling how 8472
334
00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:58,842
got their information
about Starfleet--
335
00:16:58,917 --> 00:17:01,112
from the Borg, Earth.
336
00:17:01,186 --> 00:17:04,178
For all we know, there's
been an impostor on board.
337
00:17:06,058 --> 00:17:07,821
Cell morphology normal.
338
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,828
All of your nucleotide sequences
are accounted for.
339
00:17:11,930 --> 00:17:13,363
You're 100 percent human.
340
00:17:13,432 --> 00:17:15,093
That's a relief.
And Tuvok?
341
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,794
Green-blooded Vulcan
through and through.
342
00:17:17,903 --> 00:17:19,495
Well, two down, 125 to go.
343
00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:21,072
You'd better get going.
344
00:17:21,173 --> 00:17:22,105
Right.
345
00:17:22,174 --> 00:17:23,368
l don't want to be late.
346
00:17:23,442 --> 00:17:24,875
Just be home before midnight.
347
00:17:25,010 --> 00:17:26,477
Yes, ma'am.
348
00:17:34,253 --> 00:17:36,881
l've enhanced this tricorder
with a transoptic datalink.
349
00:17:36,955 --> 00:17:39,082
lt should help you access
some of their systems.
350
00:17:39,158 --> 00:17:42,093
Type-1 phaser, modified
to fire Borg nanoprobes.
351
00:17:42,161 --> 00:17:43,355
Right.
352
00:17:43,429 --> 00:17:46,091
Do you always arm yourself
before a first date?
353
00:17:46,165 --> 00:17:48,497
You've never had a date
with Species 8472.
354
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:51,900
Personally, l don't go out
with girls from other galaxies.
355
00:17:52,037 --> 00:17:53,902
You're a true explorer,
Chakotay.
356
00:17:53,972 --> 00:17:54,939
ls she cute?
357
00:17:55,007 --> 00:17:56,907
ln her human form, anyway.
358
00:17:56,975 --> 00:17:59,409
l've always wondered what it
would be like to date an alien.
359
00:17:59,478 --> 00:18:00,604
l'll take notes.
360
00:18:00,712 --> 00:18:03,078
We're making our approach.
361
00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:04,207
All stop.
362
00:18:04,283 --> 00:18:05,375
Shields up.
363
00:18:10,422 --> 00:18:11,719
Feisty little fellows.
364
00:18:11,790 --> 00:18:14,816
You've increased their cellular
motility by over 200 percent.
365
00:18:14,927 --> 00:18:17,794
l thought it would be prudent
to maximize their efficiency.
366
00:18:17,863 --> 00:18:19,990
Seven, the last time
we used nanoprobes,
367
00:18:20,065 --> 00:18:22,533
we sent 8472 scurrying
back to fluidic space.
368
00:18:22,634 --> 00:18:24,568
You can't get more
efficient than that.
369
00:18:24,636 --> 00:18:26,467
The species is highly adaptive.
370
00:18:26,538 --> 00:18:28,972
lt's been over a year
since our first encounter.
371
00:18:29,041 --> 00:18:30,872
They may have developed
a defense
372
00:18:30,943 --> 00:18:32,240
against our technology.
373
00:18:32,311 --> 00:18:34,142
There's one way to find out.
374
00:18:34,213 --> 00:18:36,477
We can test the nanoprobes
on our corpse.
375
00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,311
You'll find the body
in Morgue Chamber 3.
376
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:40,146
Beam it to the surgical bay.
377
00:18:40,219 --> 00:18:42,016
The creature's only been dead
for a few hours.
378
00:18:42,087 --> 00:18:44,146
There should still be plenty
of cellular activity.
379
00:18:44,223 --> 00:18:46,987
lnitiate a bio-scan,
full spectrum.
380
00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:49,027
Don't worry.
381
00:18:49,094 --> 00:18:50,254
lt's an autonomic reflex.
382
00:18:50,329 --> 00:18:51,819
The creature still has residual
383
00:18:51,897 --> 00:18:54,092
bio-electric activity
in its nervous system.
384
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:55,690
Something's wrong.
385
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:57,735
The nanoprobes should
have taken effect by now.
386
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:59,168
Hmm.
387
00:18:59,238 --> 00:19:00,136
What is it?
388
00:19:00,239 --> 00:19:02,673
The creature's nucleotides
are still intact.
389
00:19:02,741 --> 00:19:04,709
lt looks like your concerns
were warranted.
390
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:06,277
We'll have to inform
the Captain.
391
00:19:06,378 --> 00:19:07,811
-We may have to...
-Doctor.
392
00:19:07,913 --> 00:19:09,813
Hmm. False alarm.
393
00:19:09,882 --> 00:19:12,043
l will replicate
more nanoprobes.
394
00:19:12,117 --> 00:19:13,641
l don't mind telling you, Seven,
395
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:17,155
l'm still holding out
for a diplomatic solution.
396
00:19:17,222 --> 00:19:18,450
lmprobable.
397
00:19:18,524 --> 00:19:21,425
Species 8472 will not
respond to diplomacy.
398
00:19:21,493 --> 00:19:24,087
Funny. We used to say the
same thing about the Borg.
399
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:28,224
My point is, anything's possible
if you keep an open mind.
400
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:29,324
Optimism, Seven.
401
00:19:29,434 --> 00:19:31,095
Try to look on the bright side.
402
00:19:31,203 --> 00:19:32,727
lt is difficult to be optimistic
403
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:34,430
when we are preparing
for battle.
404
00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:35,871
Have you ever heard the phrase
405
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:37,771
''the best defense
is a good offense''?
406
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:38,775
No.
407
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:39,868
Throughout human history,
408
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:41,570
weapons of mass destruction
were often designed
409
00:19:41,647 --> 00:19:43,615
in the hopes that
they'd never be used.
410
00:19:43,682 --> 00:19:45,547
And yet, in Earth's
third world war,
411
00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:48,711
nuclear weapons accounted
for 600 million casualties.
412
00:19:48,787 --> 00:19:51,312
Were they looking
on the bright side?
413
00:19:52,357 --> 00:19:54,450
An unfortunate exception.
414
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:13,868
We were just talking about you.
415
00:20:13,946 --> 00:20:14,878
Oh?
416
00:20:14,947 --> 00:20:16,437
She didn't think
you were going to show up.
417
00:20:16,515 --> 00:20:17,914
Boothby!
418
00:20:17,983 --> 00:20:19,177
l've known Archer
419
00:20:19,251 --> 00:20:21,583
since she was
a first-year cadet.
420
00:20:21,653 --> 00:20:23,621
She's not easily impressed.
421
00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:26,055
l didn't think
you were her type.
422
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,128
Oh, uh, if you'll excuse me,
423
00:20:30,195 --> 00:20:34,188
l've got some midnight orchids
that need my attention.
424
00:20:34,266 --> 00:20:36,461
Think about what l said,
young lady.
425
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:37,728
You'll be fine.
426
00:20:37,836 --> 00:20:38,825
Thank you, Boothby.
427
00:20:41,773 --> 00:20:43,001
Problems?
428
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:45,168
l was offered a field
commission this morning.
429
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:48,111
First Officer of
the Starship Hor-CHA.
430
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:49,306
Congratulations.
431
00:20:49,381 --> 00:20:50,939
lt's a Klingon vessel.
432
00:20:51,016 --> 00:20:53,610
Oh.
433
00:20:53,685 --> 00:20:55,380
So, what did Boothby say?
434
00:20:55,454 --> 00:20:57,945
Du cha mee gagh roch.
435
00:20:58,023 --> 00:21:00,287
''Smile when you eat the gagh. ''
436
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,018
Wise words.
437
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:04,323
Yeah.
438
00:21:04,396 --> 00:21:06,523
Do you always seek advice
from the groundskeeper?
439
00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:10,056
Half the captains in Starfleet
wouldn't be where they are today
440
00:21:10,135 --> 00:21:11,295
if it weren't for Boothby.
441
00:21:11,403 --> 00:21:15,066
Lopez, Picard, Richardson...
just to name a few.
442
00:21:15,173 --> 00:21:16,800
Closing time.
443
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:18,341
You offered to be my guide.
444
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:19,570
Where's our next stop?
445
00:21:19,645 --> 00:21:20,669
Can you dance?
446
00:21:20,746 --> 00:21:22,236
l've been accused of trying.
447
00:21:22,314 --> 00:21:24,646
lt's Pon farr Night
at the Vulcan nightclub.
448
00:21:24,716 --> 00:21:26,411
Vulcan?
449
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:28,419
lt's just around the corner.
450
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:43,761
Take it easy, Harry.
451
00:21:43,869 --> 00:21:45,860
We didn't build the Delta Flyer
452
00:21:45,971 --> 00:21:48,337
to withstand
such extensive pacing.
453
00:21:48,407 --> 00:21:50,375
He should have
contacted us by now.
454
00:21:50,475 --> 00:21:51,840
Give him time.
455
00:21:51,910 --> 00:21:53,377
Four hours?
456
00:21:53,445 --> 00:21:54,935
lt's a date.
457
00:21:55,013 --> 00:21:56,674
These things can't be rushed.
458
00:21:56,748 --> 00:21:58,875
They probably
just finished dinner,
459
00:21:58,950 --> 00:22:00,315
a couple of drinks,
460
00:22:00,419 --> 00:22:03,820
and now, they are moving
past the polite stage.
461
00:22:03,855 --> 00:22:06,346
''Polite stage.''
462
00:22:06,425 --> 00:22:07,722
The last 8472 l met
463
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:10,421
tried to dissolve me
from the inside out.
464
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:13,293
lt was only trying to get
to know you better, Harry.
465
00:22:13,365 --> 00:22:15,526
You can't fault
a person for that.
466
00:22:15,634 --> 00:22:20,628
Look, Chakotay can
take care of himself
467
00:22:20,739 --> 00:22:22,138
and if he can't,
468
00:22:22,207 --> 00:22:25,267
who better than us
to come to the rescue?
469
00:22:33,051 --> 00:22:34,814
Turns out the transporter
malfunctioned.
470
00:22:34,886 --> 00:22:36,877
My uniform ended up
in the pattern buffer.
471
00:22:36,955 --> 00:22:38,582
You're kidding.
You were naked?
472
00:22:38,657 --> 00:22:39,749
Not entirely.
473
00:22:39,825 --> 00:22:41,258
l had my combadge.
474
00:22:41,326 --> 00:22:43,055
l hope it was well-placed.
475
00:22:43,128 --> 00:22:45,961
Computer, lights.
476
00:22:46,098 --> 00:22:47,258
So this is where
477
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:50,062
they're putting up
officers nowadays.
478
00:22:50,168 --> 00:22:51,260
Not bad.
479
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,099
Can l get you
something to drink?
480
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:54,797
Water's fine.
481
00:22:54,906 --> 00:22:57,773
l'm beginning to think
you're a teetotaler.
482
00:22:57,843 --> 00:23:00,175
l like to stay in control.
483
00:23:00,245 --> 00:23:01,507
Always at Yellow Alert, huh?
484
00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:02,911
Something like that.
485
00:23:06,318 --> 00:23:07,580
Find anything interesting?
486
00:23:07,652 --> 00:23:12,680
Beyond the Galactic Edge:
Humanity's Quest for lnfinity.
487
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:16,023
This is a 21st century edition
of Hesterman, isn't it?
488
00:23:16,094 --> 00:23:18,562
Replicated.
Good book, though.
489
00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:20,530
Never read it.
490
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:22,590
You should.
491
00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:24,669
Human beings--
492
00:23:24,770 --> 00:23:27,466
they're quite a paradox.
493
00:23:27,572 --> 00:23:30,040
Oh? How so?
494
00:23:30,142 --> 00:23:32,702
At first glance...
495
00:23:32,778 --> 00:23:34,575
they're so primitive--
496
00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:38,742
genetic impurities,
no telepathy, violent--
497
00:23:38,817 --> 00:23:41,650
and yet they've created
so many beautiful ways
498
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,850
to communicate their ideas--
literature, art, music.
499
00:23:47,392 --> 00:23:50,293
At times, l've actually enjoyed
being in this form.
500
00:23:51,196 --> 00:23:52,322
You must think l'm crazy.
501
00:23:52,397 --> 00:23:53,455
Not at all.
502
00:23:53,532 --> 00:23:55,898
l wonder what they think
about us?
503
00:23:55,967 --> 00:23:56,956
Hard to say.
504
00:23:57,102 --> 00:23:58,729
l'll tell you what l think.
505
00:23:58,837 --> 00:24:00,134
They despise us.
506
00:24:00,238 --> 00:24:01,933
They'll attack any species
507
00:24:02,007 --> 00:24:05,374
that's not a part
of their Federation. Mmm.
508
00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:06,968
Speaking of being in human form,
509
00:24:07,045 --> 00:24:10,481
l could use
an isomorphic injection.
510
00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:11,607
You need one?
511
00:24:11,683 --> 00:24:13,378
l'm fine.
512
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:15,113
Make yourself at home.
513
00:25:01,766 --> 00:25:03,063
Commander.
514
00:25:06,171 --> 00:25:08,605
How do you like the view?
515
00:25:11,877 --> 00:25:13,208
Lovely.
516
00:25:13,278 --> 00:25:15,508
Looks like a full moon.
517
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:18,378
You can see the entire bay
on a night like this.
518
00:25:18,450 --> 00:25:20,145
l should have brought
my holo-imager.
519
00:25:20,218 --> 00:25:22,379
You make a pretty picture.
520
00:25:26,591 --> 00:25:28,786
Mm, feel that?
521
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:30,987
Salinated oxygen molecules
522
00:25:31,062 --> 00:25:34,589
stimulating the epidermal
neural receptors.
523
00:25:34,666 --> 00:25:37,362
Non-fluidic space
has its charms.
524
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:39,266
No argument there.
525
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:40,497
Planet Earth.
526
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:43,574
The simulation will be
real soon enough.
527
00:25:43,675 --> 00:25:44,937
How soon do you think?
528
00:25:45,043 --> 00:25:46,635
Weeks, days.
529
00:25:46,711 --> 00:25:49,874
As soon as they think
we're ready.
530
00:25:49,948 --> 00:25:51,677
Can l be honest with you?
531
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:53,775
Please.
532
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:01,325
l'm starting to wonder if
all this is worth the effort.
533
00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:03,054
What do you mean?
534
00:26:03,128 --> 00:26:05,460
This simulation, our mission--
535
00:26:05,530 --> 00:26:08,465
are we certain
the humans pose a threat?
536
00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:10,797
They were allies with the Borg.
537
00:26:10,902 --> 00:26:12,631
They invaded our realm.
538
00:26:12,737 --> 00:26:13,965
That was one incident.
539
00:26:14,072 --> 00:26:15,767
Doesn't mean
the entire Federation
540
00:26:15,874 --> 00:26:17,398
is planning a war against us.
541
00:26:17,509 --> 00:26:18,874
We can't trust them.
542
00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:21,275
We have to prepare
for the worst.
543
00:26:21,346 --> 00:26:22,608
l'm not so sure.
544
00:26:24,449 --> 00:26:27,111
l think you've been
human a little too long.
545
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,514
Before you know it,
546
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,886
l'll be sending my rйsumй
to the real Starfleet.
547
00:26:31,990 --> 00:26:36,893
''Alien from distant
galaxy seeks employment.
548
00:26:36,995 --> 00:26:39,555
References available
upon request.''
549
00:26:42,834 --> 00:26:44,893
Well, it's getting late.
550
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:46,401
l'd better go.
551
00:26:46,471 --> 00:26:47,438
Already?
552
00:26:47,505 --> 00:26:49,370
l have a tactical report
553
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:51,432
to finish before morning.
554
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:01,810
Aren't we forgetting
something?
555
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,252
l'm no expert
at human dating rituals,
556
00:27:04,289 --> 00:27:06,814
but l think it's customary
to kiss good night.
557
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:09,683
You've never done this before.
558
00:27:09,761 --> 00:27:10,819
Actually...
559
00:27:10,929 --> 00:27:12,521
Me, neither.
560
00:27:12,597 --> 00:27:15,862
Just... think of it as
part of our training.
561
00:28:11,723 --> 00:28:12,815
Report.
562
00:28:12,957 --> 00:28:14,151
l analyzed his DNA.
563
00:28:14,225 --> 00:28:16,125
Your suspicions were correct.
564
00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:17,126
How much does he know?
565
00:28:17,195 --> 00:28:19,129
lt's difficult to say.
566
00:28:19,197 --> 00:28:20,323
He'll have to be interrogated.
567
00:28:20,398 --> 00:28:21,330
Where is he?
568
00:28:21,399 --> 00:28:23,458
By now, he should be
in the main quad.
569
00:28:23,568 --> 00:28:25,468
l recommend we go to daylight.
570
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:26,663
He'll be easier to track.
571
00:28:44,022 --> 00:28:45,387
Chakotay to Paris.
572
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:47,923
Delta Flyer, respond!
573
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,244
Yes, come in.
574
00:29:18,623 --> 00:29:21,217
The Borg modifications
are complete.
575
00:29:21,292 --> 00:29:24,523
19 standard photon torpedoes
and three class-10s
576
00:29:24,596 --> 00:29:26,530
armed with high-yield
warheads.
577
00:29:26,598 --> 00:29:27,656
More.
578
00:29:27,732 --> 00:29:29,927
We've depleted our supply
of nanoprobes.
579
00:29:30,034 --> 00:29:31,661
Replicate a new supply.
580
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,362
That is not possible.
581
00:29:33,471 --> 00:29:35,871
Have the Doctor extract them
from your bloodstream,
582
00:29:36,007 --> 00:29:38,271
grow them in a petri dish,
whatever it takes.
583
00:29:38,343 --> 00:29:39,708
lf we do engage 8472,
584
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:42,269
l don't intend to run out
of firepower mid-battle.
585
00:29:42,347 --> 00:29:44,474
You of all people
should understand that.
586
00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:46,483
They killed what--
four million drones?
587
00:29:46,551 --> 00:29:49,111
Directive 010:
588
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:51,781
''Before engaging
alien species in battle,
589
00:29:51,856 --> 00:29:54,120
''any and all attempts
to make first contact
590
00:29:54,192 --> 00:29:56,888
and achieve nonmilitary
resolution must be made.''
591
00:29:56,961 --> 00:30:00,158
ln this case, we made first
contact over a year ago
592
00:30:00,231 --> 00:30:02,324
and we barely got
out of it alive.
593
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,800
lt seems to me
a battle is inevitable.
594
00:30:04,903 --> 00:30:06,894
Maybe even war.
595
00:30:07,005 --> 00:30:09,940
So why can't l get that
directive out of my mind?
596
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:13,909
This species intends
to purge our galaxy of all life.
597
00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:17,539
lt's time you resisted
your Starfleet philosophy.
598
00:30:17,615 --> 00:30:19,480
Captain to the Bridge.
599
00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:23,487
The away team is hailing us.
600
00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:24,886
Tom.
601
00:30:24,956 --> 00:30:26,184
Chakotay's in trouble.
602
00:30:26,257 --> 00:30:27,690
He tried to contact us
ten minutes ago,
603
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:28,851
but his signal was cut off.
604
00:30:28,927 --> 00:30:30,918
Some kind of force field
went up around the habitat.
605
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:32,394
We can't get a lock on him.
606
00:30:32,463 --> 00:30:34,192
Has your vessel been detected?
607
00:30:34,265 --> 00:30:35,493
l don't think so.
608
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:37,797
At least no one's tried
to take a shot at us yet.
609
00:30:37,902 --> 00:30:39,563
Hold your position.
Keep trying to locate him.
610
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:40,638
We're on our way.
611
00:30:40,738 --> 00:30:41,705
Yes, ma'am.
612
00:30:41,806 --> 00:30:43,774
Bring those Borg weapons
on line.
613
00:30:43,875 --> 00:30:44,864
Red Alert.
614
00:30:44,976 --> 00:30:46,307
All hands to battle stations.
615
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:47,435
Take us out of orbit.
616
00:30:52,383 --> 00:30:54,544
l thought you had
a tactical report to finish.
617
00:30:54,619 --> 00:30:56,519
What'll you have, son?
618
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:59,250
l'm a single malt man, myself.
619
00:30:59,324 --> 00:31:00,791
Aged 200 years.
620
00:31:00,892 --> 00:31:03,520
Been saving it
for a special occasion.
621
00:31:03,561 --> 00:31:08,191
And l'd say this
is special enough, mm-hmm.
622
00:31:08,266 --> 00:31:12,202
A toast... to Earth.
623
00:31:14,973 --> 00:31:17,271
Ah.
624
00:31:17,342 --> 00:31:21,836
Chakotay.
Rank: Commander.
625
00:31:21,913 --> 00:31:26,316
Starfleet Service Number:
47-Alpha-6-1-2.
626
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:28,409
First Officer, USS Voyager.
627
00:31:28,486 --> 00:31:29,953
Species 8472.
628
00:31:30,021 --> 00:31:32,581
Origin: Fluidic space.
629
00:31:32,657 --> 00:31:34,750
Well, now that we've
been formally introduced,
630
00:31:34,826 --> 00:31:36,088
how many ships?
631
00:31:37,262 --> 00:31:38,729
Cat got your tongue?
632
00:31:38,796 --> 00:31:40,229
l asked you a question.
633
00:31:40,298 --> 00:31:43,597
How many vessels do you
have in the Delta Quadrant?
634
00:31:43,701 --> 00:31:46,169
One.
635
00:31:47,171 --> 00:31:48,502
How did you find us?
636
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:50,097
We detected what looked like
637
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:52,108
a Federation subspace
transmission.
638
00:31:52,176 --> 00:31:54,007
lt took us weeks
to track it here.
639
00:31:54,145 --> 00:31:55,612
We wanted this simulation
640
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,671
to be accurate
to the last detail.
641
00:31:57,749 --> 00:32:00,217
We obviously went
a little too far.
642
00:32:00,285 --> 00:32:03,152
Now that you know
about our re-creation,
643
00:32:03,221 --> 00:32:06,088
you've no doubt alerted
the Federation.
644
00:32:06,157 --> 00:32:08,352
Your fleet will be on its way.
645
00:32:08,426 --> 00:32:09,518
You've got it wrong.
646
00:32:09,594 --> 00:32:11,619
We're not planning a war
against you.
647
00:32:11,696 --> 00:32:13,493
ls that why you were here
to spy on us--
648
00:32:13,564 --> 00:32:14,622
because you're curious?
649
00:32:14,699 --> 00:32:15,893
Sir?
650
00:32:16,067 --> 00:32:17,329
A starship is approaching.
651
00:32:17,435 --> 00:32:18,663
lt's Voyager.
652
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:20,135
Raise our shields.
653
00:32:20,204 --> 00:32:21,899
Stand by, all weapons.
654
00:32:22,006 --> 00:32:24,338
Captain Janeway is not here
to launch an attack.
655
00:32:24,409 --> 00:32:25,501
She's here to find me.
656
00:32:25,576 --> 00:32:27,339
We've got the real McCoy here.
657
00:32:27,412 --> 00:32:29,710
We might as well take
advantage of it.
658
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:31,510
Perform a genetic extraction.
659
00:32:31,582 --> 00:32:35,484
lt may help us find a better way
to maintain these human forms.
660
00:32:35,553 --> 00:32:37,145
Yes, sir.
661
00:32:40,558 --> 00:32:42,685
We're approaching the habitat.
662
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,320
Shields to maximum.
Charge weapons.
663
00:32:45,396 --> 00:32:47,489
All hands, this is the Bridge.
Tactical alert.
664
00:32:47,565 --> 00:32:50,056
Report to your posts and
stand by to engage the enemy.
665
00:32:50,168 --> 00:32:51,499
l have a visual.
666
00:32:52,570 --> 00:32:54,299
We're being scanned.
667
00:32:54,405 --> 00:32:55,838
Let them take a look.
668
00:32:55,907 --> 00:32:58,967
The Delta Flyer is heading
up from the habitat.
669
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,008
Open a channel.
670
00:33:00,044 --> 00:33:01,306
Tom? Status.
671
00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:03,711
They've taken a couple
of potshots at us, Captain.
672
00:33:03,781 --> 00:33:05,840
We've lost our shields.
Mind if we join you?
673
00:33:05,917 --> 00:33:07,680
You're clear to dock.
Shuttle Bay 2.
674
00:33:07,752 --> 00:33:08,844
Any word from Chakotay?
675
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,751
l'm afraid not.
676
00:33:10,822 --> 00:33:12,187
Bring us within range.
677
00:33:12,256 --> 00:33:13,883
Target their weapons array.
678
00:33:14,025 --> 00:33:16,255
Captain, we should target
their power systems as well.
679
00:33:16,327 --> 00:33:17,259
No, l don't want to risk
680
00:33:17,328 --> 00:33:18,386
shutting down
their life support.
681
00:33:18,463 --> 00:33:19,691
lf we can end this
without casualties,
682
00:33:19,764 --> 00:33:20,731
so much the better.
683
00:33:20,798 --> 00:33:22,891
This species does not
deserve our compassion.
684
00:33:23,034 --> 00:33:25,093
You picked a lousy time
for an ethical debate.
685
00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:27,728
The weapons array now.
686
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:28,999
We're entering range.
687
00:33:29,107 --> 00:33:30,631
3,800 kilometers.
688
00:33:30,742 --> 00:33:31,936
3,500.
689
00:33:32,076 --> 00:33:34,738
3,200.
690
00:33:36,848 --> 00:33:37,815
Valerie.
691
00:33:37,882 --> 00:33:39,509
That's not my name.
692
00:33:39,584 --> 00:33:40,744
Then what is it?
693
00:33:45,156 --> 00:33:46,714
You're afraid of us, aren't you?
694
00:33:46,791 --> 00:33:47,951
You think we're violent.
695
00:33:48,059 --> 00:33:50,289
That we're planning
to destroy your species.
696
00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:52,693
But none of that's true.
697
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:58,862
lf you would take the time
698
00:33:58,970 --> 00:34:02,201
to speak to us directly,
we could prove it to you.
699
00:34:08,146 --> 00:34:11,013
''There are no secrets except the
secrets that keep themselves.''
700
00:34:12,483 --> 00:34:14,348
Shaw.
701
00:34:14,419 --> 00:34:15,852
George Bernard Shaw.
702
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,879
l saw a copy of his collected
works on your bookshelf.
703
00:34:19,957 --> 00:34:22,790
He had a complex mind...
for a human.
704
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:24,384
And he had a point.
705
00:34:24,462 --> 00:34:27,659
As long as we keep spying
on each other,
706
00:34:27,732 --> 00:34:29,222
making assumptions,
707
00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:31,564
we probably will go to war.
708
00:34:36,374 --> 00:34:37,636
Voyager.
709
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:46,213
They're charging weapons.
710
00:34:46,284 --> 00:34:47,342
Do the same.
711
00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:49,386
We're being hailed.
712
00:34:51,189 --> 00:34:52,178
Mr. Boothby.
713
00:34:52,256 --> 00:34:53,416
Captain Janeway.
714
00:34:53,491 --> 00:34:56,119
Good to see you
after all these years.
715
00:34:56,194 --> 00:34:58,128
Enjoying the Delta Quadrant?
716
00:34:58,196 --> 00:35:00,426
Don't get sassy with me,
young lady.
717
00:35:00,531 --> 00:35:02,658
This re-creation
may be Starfleet,
718
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:05,464
but our weapons are
far more sophisticated.
719
00:35:05,570 --> 00:35:08,698
l can destroy your vessel
with a single command.
720
00:35:08,806 --> 00:35:10,296
Run along, now.
721
00:35:10,408 --> 00:35:11,773
l'm not going anywhere.
722
00:35:11,843 --> 00:35:14,038
Not until you return
my First Officer
723
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:16,171
and give me a damn
good explanation
724
00:35:16,247 --> 00:35:18,408
for what you're doing
in our galaxy.
725
00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:22,044
l've targeted your re-creation
726
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,315
with Borg nanoprobes.
727
00:35:24,388 --> 00:35:26,982
And we're willing to use them
if you force us to.
728
00:35:27,058 --> 00:35:28,423
Don't try to rattle my cage.
729
00:35:28,493 --> 00:35:30,984
l'll disable your tactical
systems before you...
730
00:35:31,062 --> 00:35:32,996
The last time
our species engaged in battle,
731
00:35:33,064 --> 00:35:34,429
you suffered heavy casualties.
732
00:35:34,499 --> 00:35:37,491
Are you willing to take
that chance again?
733
00:35:39,570 --> 00:35:41,094
An armed conflict
734
00:35:41,205 --> 00:35:44,299
isn't going to solve
our problems.
735
00:35:44,408 --> 00:35:46,808
We could go on making threats.
736
00:35:46,878 --> 00:35:48,641
Spying on each other.
737
00:35:48,713 --> 00:35:52,444
Risking a war
between our species.
738
00:35:52,517 --> 00:35:54,747
Or we could try
a more direct approach.
739
00:35:54,819 --> 00:35:57,083
What do you have in mind?
740
00:35:57,155 --> 00:35:59,851
How about a class reunion?
741
00:36:06,264 --> 00:36:07,526
Targ manure!
742
00:36:07,598 --> 00:36:09,293
United Federation of Planets...
743
00:36:09,367 --> 00:36:11,232
tolerance for all species...
744
00:36:11,335 --> 00:36:13,098
the Prime Directive...
745
00:36:13,204 --> 00:36:15,138
targ manure,
every word of it.
746
00:36:15,206 --> 00:36:18,437
Your metaphor is colorful,
but inaccurate.
747
00:36:18,509 --> 00:36:19,476
Vulcan logic...
748
00:36:19,544 --> 00:36:21,637
add that to the list.
749
00:36:21,712 --> 00:36:23,680
Obviously, you've studied
a Starfleet database.
750
00:36:23,748 --> 00:36:26,717
You must've learned something
about our history.
751
00:36:26,784 --> 00:36:28,843
We adhere to our directives.
752
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,854
High-minded ideals
are one thing,
753
00:36:30,922 --> 00:36:33,720
but your actions tell
a very different story.
754
00:36:33,791 --> 00:36:36,316
You infiltrated
our re-creation,
755
00:36:36,394 --> 00:36:38,589
captured and killed
one of our people.
756
00:36:38,663 --> 00:36:40,631
l told you he took his own life.
757
00:36:40,698 --> 00:36:44,156
You created biological weapons
to infect our species.
758
00:36:44,235 --> 00:36:46,294
You are allies with the Borg.
759
00:36:46,404 --> 00:36:47,462
No.
760
00:36:47,572 --> 00:36:48,800
There's a drone sitting
761
00:36:48,906 --> 00:36:50,271
at this very table.
762
00:36:50,341 --> 00:36:52,832
Look at her-- all gussied up
to look like a human being.
763
00:36:52,944 --> 00:36:55,242
l am no longer part
of the collective.
764
00:36:55,313 --> 00:36:57,679
Once a Borg, always a Borg.
765
00:36:57,748 --> 00:37:00,012
Seven of Nine is
a member of this crew.
766
00:37:00,084 --> 00:37:01,745
The Borg are irrelevant.
767
00:37:01,819 --> 00:37:03,514
lt's the humans
that pose a threat.
768
00:37:03,588 --> 00:37:06,614
They think the Federation
is a hostile invasion force
769
00:37:06,691 --> 00:37:08,386
out to destroy their species.
770
00:37:08,459 --> 00:37:09,824
l see.
771
00:37:09,961 --> 00:37:13,624
So you're planning a preemptive
strike against Earth.
772
00:37:13,698 --> 00:37:14,926
Maybe l am.
773
00:37:14,999 --> 00:37:17,092
You realize
l can't let that happen.
774
00:37:17,201 --> 00:37:19,135
Go ahead.
Fire your damn nanoprobes,
775
00:37:19,203 --> 00:37:21,262
blow our re-creation
to high heavens.
776
00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:22,930
There are a dozen more
777
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,871
scattered throughout
the Quadrant.
778
00:37:24,976 --> 00:37:26,807
You'll never find them all.
779
00:37:26,877 --> 00:37:28,504
What if l told you
780
00:37:28,579 --> 00:37:31,446
that Starfleet
isn't planning an invasion,
781
00:37:31,515 --> 00:37:34,245
that no one on Earth
has even heard of you?
782
00:37:34,318 --> 00:37:35,808
l'd say you're lying.
783
00:37:35,886 --> 00:37:38,650
Have another look at that
Federation database of yours.
784
00:37:38,723 --> 00:37:40,884
You'll see there's no mention
of your realm.
785
00:37:40,992 --> 00:37:42,425
lmmaterial.
786
00:37:42,493 --> 00:37:44,154
Any information
regarding our species
787
00:37:44,228 --> 00:37:45,889
has no doubt been classified
by Starfleet lntelligence.
788
00:37:45,963 --> 00:37:47,294
has no doubt been classified
by Starfleet lntelligence.
789
00:37:47,365 --> 00:37:48,798
Good point.
790
00:37:48,866 --> 00:37:49,798
You know, we could
791
00:37:49,867 --> 00:37:51,767
keep this paranoid
debate going all day.
792
00:37:51,869 --> 00:37:53,427
You have no reason to trust us,
793
00:37:53,537 --> 00:37:55,437
and we have no reason
to trust you.
794
00:37:55,506 --> 00:37:58,532
Hear, hear. l knew this reunion
would be a fiasco.
795
00:37:58,643 --> 00:37:59,735
Admiral...
796
00:37:59,810 --> 00:38:00,868
Seven...
797
00:38:00,978 --> 00:38:02,377
disarm the warheads.
798
00:38:02,446 --> 00:38:03,538
Captain?
799
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:05,081
Do it.
800
00:38:11,555 --> 00:38:13,386
What are you trying
to prove, young lady?
801
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:15,823
One of us has to take
our finger off the trigger.
802
00:38:15,893 --> 00:38:17,053
lt might as well be me.
803
00:38:20,965 --> 00:38:23,331
Their weapons are off-line.
804
00:38:23,401 --> 00:38:25,232
lt's a trick.
805
00:38:25,336 --> 00:38:26,268
Our defenses are down.
806
00:38:26,337 --> 00:38:27,531
What will you do now?
807
00:38:27,638 --> 00:38:31,165
Blow Voyager to high heavens
or do we keep talking?
808
00:38:31,275 --> 00:38:34,210
Humans... you've got a
flair for the dramatic,
809
00:38:34,278 --> 00:38:35,711
l'll give you that.
810
00:38:35,780 --> 00:38:37,213
You want to keep talking?
811
00:38:37,281 --> 00:38:40,876
Fine by me, but no more
beating around the bush.
812
00:38:40,985 --> 00:38:42,612
Now what do you want from us?
813
00:38:42,687 --> 00:38:43,779
The truth, Captain.
814
00:38:44,889 --> 00:38:47,357
Voyager is alone
in the Delta Quadrant.
815
00:38:47,425 --> 00:38:51,293
We haven't been in contact
with Earth for over four years.
816
00:38:51,362 --> 00:38:53,853
Explain why you attacked
our realm,
817
00:38:53,931 --> 00:38:55,660
hand in hand with the Borg.
818
00:38:55,733 --> 00:38:56,893
At the time, we didn't realize
819
00:38:57,034 --> 00:38:59,594
the Borg had started
the war against you.
820
00:38:59,704 --> 00:39:02,264
We forged a temporary
alliance with them
821
00:39:02,373 --> 00:39:04,364
because we thought
you were the threat.
822
00:39:04,475 --> 00:39:06,739
''Your galaxy will be purged.''
823
00:39:06,811 --> 00:39:08,244
Sound familiar?
824
00:39:08,312 --> 00:39:10,473
We were only trying
to defend ourselves.
825
00:39:10,548 --> 00:39:13,745
lf that's true,
why are you still in our galaxy?
826
00:39:13,818 --> 00:39:16,616
Your conflict with the Borg
ended over a year ago.
827
00:39:16,687 --> 00:39:19,747
Why re-create Starfleet,
masquerade as humans?
828
00:39:19,824 --> 00:39:23,726
lt looks to me like you're
the ones planning an invasion.
829
00:39:23,794 --> 00:39:24,818
The truth.
830
00:39:24,962 --> 00:39:25,826
Don't answer her.
831
00:39:25,963 --> 00:39:27,396
She's manipulating us.
832
00:39:27,465 --> 00:39:30,229
lf you won't answer, l will.
833
00:39:30,334 --> 00:39:31,232
Commander!
834
00:39:31,335 --> 00:39:33,235
Our mission is to infiltrate
your homeworld,
835
00:39:33,304 --> 00:39:34,328
to place operatives
836
00:39:34,438 --> 00:39:35,996
in the highest levels
of Starfleet,
837
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:38,541
monitor your military
installations.
838
00:39:38,609 --> 00:39:41,134
lt's a reconnaissance mission,
nothing more.
839
00:39:41,212 --> 00:39:43,305
We should listen to her,
Captain.
840
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:45,872
They're being driven by fear
just like we are...
841
00:39:45,950 --> 00:39:47,645
unless everything
you said on our date
842
00:39:47,718 --> 00:39:48,844
was just part of an act.
843
00:39:48,919 --> 00:39:49,681
lt wasn't.
844
00:39:49,754 --> 00:39:50,880
Enough!
845
00:39:50,955 --> 00:39:53,549
We must not negotiate
with these creatures.
846
00:39:53,624 --> 00:39:54,852
Sit down, Admiral.
847
00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:55,983
Sir?
848
00:39:56,060 --> 00:39:57,322
l said sit down
849
00:39:57,395 --> 00:39:59,454
or l'll knock you
right on your human butt.
850
00:39:59,530 --> 00:40:02,658
You've been seduced by them,
both of you.
851
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:05,395
l've had a chance
to see through human eyes
852
00:40:05,503 --> 00:40:07,562
and l'm beginning to wonder...
853
00:40:07,671 --> 00:40:09,571
are they really so violent?
854
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,198
What if we're wrong?
855
00:40:11,308 --> 00:40:13,276
We can't risk trusting them.
856
00:40:13,344 --> 00:40:15,209
You'd rather risk another war?
857
00:40:16,847 --> 00:40:18,246
Keep talking, son.
858
00:40:18,315 --> 00:40:19,577
Archer's right.
859
00:40:19,650 --> 00:40:21,083
We've got to set aside
860
00:40:21,152 --> 00:40:23,177
our preconceptions
about each other.
861
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:25,449
Granted, our species didn't meet
862
00:40:25,523 --> 00:40:26,581
under the best
of circumstances,
863
00:40:26,657 --> 00:40:29,421
but maybe we can
make first contact again.
864
00:40:29,493 --> 00:40:31,427
Maybe this time,
we'll get it right.
865
00:40:31,495 --> 00:40:33,520
You believe in this fellow?
866
00:40:33,597 --> 00:40:36,191
Yes.
867
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:38,928
There would have to be
a few ground rules.
868
00:40:39,036 --> 00:40:40,731
Name them.
869
00:40:40,838 --> 00:40:43,568
First off, l want to take a look
at that nanoprobe technology.
870
00:40:43,641 --> 00:40:45,131
lt scares the hell out of me.
871
00:40:45,242 --> 00:40:46,834
All right...
872
00:40:46,911 --> 00:40:50,005
but l'll need some tactical
information in return--
873
00:40:50,147 --> 00:40:53,116
your genetic alteration
techniques for a start.
874
00:40:53,184 --> 00:40:54,742
l'm sure something
can be arranged.
875
00:40:54,819 --> 00:40:56,150
You on board, Admiral?
876
00:40:57,888 --> 00:41:00,015
Good enough for me.
877
00:41:07,164 --> 00:41:10,622
Captain's Log,
Stardate 52136.4.
878
00:41:10,701 --> 00:41:12,999
We've managed to avoid
a military conflict
879
00:41:13,103 --> 00:41:16,436
with Species 8472...
at least for now.
880
00:41:16,507 --> 00:41:18,441
ln an effort
to strengthen the truce,
881
00:41:18,509 --> 00:41:20,272
we're exchanging technology.
882
00:41:20,344 --> 00:41:21,470
The design schematics
883
00:41:21,545 --> 00:41:23,843
for our nanoprobe
weapons, as requested.
884
00:41:23,914 --> 00:41:26,678
This could go a long way
toward allaying their fears.
885
00:41:26,750 --> 00:41:27,944
Perhaps.
886
00:41:28,085 --> 00:41:29,677
Have a little faith, Seven.
887
00:41:29,753 --> 00:41:31,550
lt's difficult
to have faith in an idea
888
00:41:31,622 --> 00:41:33,180
which may prove
tactically unsound.
889
00:41:33,257 --> 00:41:34,519
Tactically unsound?
Perhaps.
890
00:41:34,592 --> 00:41:36,651
lt could also be the
first step toward peace.
891
00:41:36,727 --> 00:41:38,160
lt's a risk l'm willing to take.
892
00:41:38,229 --> 00:41:39,628
Are you sure you won't join us?
893
00:41:39,697 --> 00:41:41,688
lt would be your first
chance to see Earth.
894
00:41:41,765 --> 00:41:43,528
l prefer to remain
aboard Voyager.
895
00:41:43,634 --> 00:41:46,194
lf problems arise
while you're in the habitat...
896
00:41:46,303 --> 00:41:47,702
There won't be any problems--
897
00:41:47,771 --> 00:41:49,170
nothing tactical at any rate.
898
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:50,969
We're entering
a stage of diplomacy
899
00:41:51,041 --> 00:41:53,202
where most of the problems
will be cultural.
900
00:41:53,277 --> 00:41:55,006
How do you shake
hands with an 8472?
901
00:41:55,145 --> 00:41:56,669
We'll be fine.
902
00:41:56,747 --> 00:41:58,681
When you ordered me
to disarm the warheads
903
00:41:58,749 --> 00:41:59,841
during the negotiation,
904
00:41:59,917 --> 00:42:01,680
l anticipated
an immediate attack.
905
00:42:01,785 --> 00:42:03,480
l believed they
would take advantage
906
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:04,647
of your human weakness.
907
00:42:04,722 --> 00:42:06,553
l was wrong.
908
00:42:06,624 --> 00:42:10,822
lf l had been in your position,
we would most likely be engaged
909
00:42:10,895 --> 00:42:13,227
in a battle with 8472
at this moment.
910
00:42:13,297 --> 00:42:14,787
How did you know?
911
00:42:14,865 --> 00:42:15,797
l didn't.
912
00:42:15,866 --> 00:42:17,663
Like l said...
913
00:42:17,768 --> 00:42:18,860
Faith.
914
00:42:21,205 --> 00:42:25,141
Welcome to Terrasphere 8,
Starfleet Command Re-creation.
915
00:42:25,242 --> 00:42:26,766
l am Admiral Bullock
916
00:42:26,877 --> 00:42:29,937
and l'll be acquainting you
with our facility.
917
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,173
Questions, comments--
bring them to me.
918
00:42:32,249 --> 00:42:35,514
Problems--
talk to Lieutenant Kinis.
919
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:39,216
Commander Tuvok,
you wanted to examine
920
00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:40,552
our thermionic generators.
921
00:42:40,624 --> 00:42:41,716
Yes.
922
00:42:41,792 --> 00:42:44,192
l'll take you there personally.
923
00:42:44,261 --> 00:42:45,888
Ambassador Nellix.
924
00:42:45,963 --> 00:42:47,954
lt's Neelix, sir.
925
00:42:48,065 --> 00:42:49,327
Neelix.
926
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,095
You'll be joining
the Lieutenant.
927
00:42:51,201 --> 00:42:52,566
He'll familiarize you
928
00:42:52,670 --> 00:42:55,537
with our environmental
control technology.
929
00:42:55,606 --> 00:42:57,836
Wonderful.
l look forward to hearing
930
00:42:57,908 --> 00:42:59,637
your perspective on Vulcans.
931
00:42:59,710 --> 00:43:01,268
You didn't happen to re-create
932
00:43:01,378 --> 00:43:03,903
a little coffee shop
on Market Street, the Night Owl?
933
00:43:04,014 --> 00:43:05,845
Afraid not.
934
00:43:05,916 --> 00:43:08,009
You're welcome to stay;
put your feet up.
935
00:43:08,085 --> 00:43:10,280
We won't be returning
to fluidic space
936
00:43:10,354 --> 00:43:11,548
for another day or two.
937
00:43:11,622 --> 00:43:14,182
Thank you, but the real Earth
is a long way from here.
938
00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:15,885
l'd like to get
back on the road.
939
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,484
What are the chances
they'll listen to you?
940
00:43:17,561 --> 00:43:19,392
l can't promise you
the moon, Captain.
941
00:43:19,463 --> 00:43:22,432
My superiors aren't
as forward-thinking.
942
00:43:22,499 --> 00:43:24,899
Peace with humans?
943
00:43:25,069 --> 00:43:27,765
Wow... they're going
to hit the roof,
944
00:43:27,871 --> 00:43:29,896
but l'll tell them
what happened here today,
945
00:43:30,007 --> 00:43:31,440
and with a pinch of luck,
946
00:43:31,508 --> 00:43:33,806
a few of them
might see the light.
947
00:43:33,877 --> 00:43:35,708
Well, you've got Voyager's
com frequency.
948
00:43:35,779 --> 00:43:36,871
You know how to contact us.
949
00:43:36,947 --> 00:43:39,177
l hope we can keep
this process alive.
950
00:43:39,249 --> 00:43:42,241
Don't call us, we'll call you.
951
00:43:42,319 --> 00:43:43,911
Oh, l almost forgot.
952
00:43:43,988 --> 00:43:45,717
Ah...
953
00:43:48,926 --> 00:43:51,861
Genetically synthesized...
954
00:43:51,929 --> 00:43:54,762
but they smell just as lovely.
955
00:43:54,832 --> 00:43:56,265
Oh...
956
00:44:03,340 --> 00:44:05,831
Looking forward to going home?
957
00:44:06,010 --> 00:44:09,275
At least l can finally
get out of this form.
958
00:44:09,346 --> 00:44:10,779
No more insomnia.
959
00:44:10,848 --> 00:44:12,873
No more sleeping, period.
960
00:44:13,017 --> 00:44:16,384
For what it's worth,
you made a terrific human.
961
00:44:16,453 --> 00:44:18,648
Shame...
962
00:44:18,722 --> 00:44:19,984
Hmm?
963
00:44:20,057 --> 00:44:22,184
lt's too bad our species
are so different.
964
00:44:22,259 --> 00:44:24,284
Otherwise, l'd ask
you for a second date.
965
00:44:24,361 --> 00:44:26,226
You did offer to be my guide.
966
00:44:26,296 --> 00:44:28,594
How about a tour
of your realm sometime?
967
00:44:28,666 --> 00:44:30,566
l'd like that.
968
00:44:30,668 --> 00:44:33,501
Well...
969
00:44:33,570 --> 00:44:35,561
l'm due back on Voyager.
970
00:44:35,673 --> 00:44:37,470
We leave at 0400.
971
00:44:40,744 --> 00:44:44,202
l'll never get a chance
to do this again.
972
00:44:55,025 --> 00:44:57,323
Any better this time?
973
00:44:58,362 --> 00:45:00,125
You're a quick study.
