1
00:00:06,339 --> 00:00:09,240
Naomi Wildman, state
your purpose here.
2
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:11,436
l was waiting for you.
3
00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:12,773
Kadis- Kot, remember?
4
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:14,143
Our weekly game?
5
00:00:14,214 --> 00:00:15,579
Reschedule for tomorrow.
6
00:00:15,648 --> 00:00:17,047
l'm working now.
7
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:18,675
Redecorating isn't work.
8
00:00:18,752 --> 00:00:20,379
Aesthetics are irrelevant.
9
00:00:20,453 --> 00:00:21,920
l'm modifying the alcove
10
00:00:21,988 --> 00:00:25,924
to function as a cortical
processing subunit.
11
00:00:25,992 --> 00:00:27,789
That was my next guess.
12
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:30,591
Then l won't need to
explain its purpose.
13
00:00:30,663 --> 00:00:32,426
Okay, you win.
14
00:00:32,499 --> 00:00:35,332
What do you do with
the cortical processing, uh...
15
00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:36,834
Subunit.
16
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:39,497
On Borg vessels, there's
one in each unimatrix.
17
00:00:39,606 --> 00:00:42,370
lt downloads newly assimilated
data to the drones.
18
00:00:42,442 --> 00:00:44,740
But Voyager isn't a Borg vessel,
19
00:00:44,811 --> 00:00:47,006
and you're not a drone anymore.
20
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,344
Voyager collects
a great deal of information- -
21
00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:51,611
sensor scans,
navigational projections,
22
00:00:51,684 --> 00:00:52,844
engineering updates,
23
00:00:52,919 --> 00:00:55,979
away team reports,
scientific analyses.
24
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:57,318
The results of our
25
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:58,516
Kadis- Kot tournament?
26
00:00:59,592 --> 00:01:00,616
That, too.
27
00:01:00,693 --> 00:01:02,558
The crew must read and study
this information- -
28
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:04,096
an inefficient procedure.
29
00:01:04,164 --> 00:01:07,133
These data nodes are downloading
the information into the alcove.
30
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,260
Which is going to download it
into you.
31
00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:12,664
Precisely.
32
00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:14,637
ln a matter of hours,
l will assimilate
33
00:01:14,707 --> 00:01:16,231
several months worth of data.
34
00:01:16,342 --> 00:01:17,900
Can l try it sometime?
35
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:21,844
Your physiology is...
different from mine.
36
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:24,110
Guess l'll stick
to reading my lessons
37
00:01:24,184 --> 00:01:26,345
and listening
to Neelix tell stories.
38
00:01:26,419 --> 00:01:27,943
l will see you tomorrow.
39
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:29,351
Can l watch?
40
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:33,222
Okay, tomorrow.
41
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:49,555
Warning. Plate is hot.
42
00:03:49,629 --> 00:03:50,755
Now you tell me.
43
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:52,923
You go for authenticity
and what do you get?
44
00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:54,125
Second- degree burns.
45
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,863
l've been slaving over that
replicator program for hours.
46
00:03:57,971 --> 00:04:00,166
What was this bizarre
rumor l heard
47
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,209
about half the crew on
Deck 5 getting pregnant?
48
00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:04,743
Oh, that.
49
00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:07,143
The Doctor was running
generational projections
50
00:04:07,213 --> 00:04:09,010
on the Sick Bay computer.
51
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:11,107
Tom Paris happened
to glance at the monitor
52
00:04:11,184 --> 00:04:12,879
and jumped to conclusions.
53
00:04:12,952 --> 00:04:14,886
Wasn't long before
Neelix was asking me
54
00:04:14,954 --> 00:04:16,888
if he could turn Cargo Bay 1
into a nursery.
55
00:04:17,023 --> 00:04:18,490
Word travels fast
on this ship, hmm?
56
00:04:18,558 --> 00:04:20,526
Warp 10.
57
00:04:20,593 --> 00:04:23,756
Oh, by the way,
l meant to tell you...
58
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:26,458
there's a class- K nebula
25 light- years off starboard.
59
00:04:26,532 --> 00:04:27,692
We should take a look.
60
00:04:27,767 --> 00:04:30,793
A major detour
for a minor nebula.
61
00:04:30,903 --> 00:04:34,236
We are explorers, remember?
62
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:35,865
Permission granted.
63
00:04:37,143 --> 00:04:38,269
Main course,
64
00:04:38,344 --> 00:04:40,369
a recipe l've never tried.
65
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:42,710
But we are explorers, remember?
66
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:47,617
Regeneration cycle complete.
67
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:55,956
Seven of Nine
to Lieutenant Torres.
68
00:04:56,029 --> 00:04:58,224
Lieutenant Torres, respond.
69
00:04:58,298 --> 00:04:59,697
Good morning, Seven.
70
00:04:59,766 --> 00:05:01,028
This better be important.
71
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:03,432
l must speak with you at once.
72
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,809
l'm picking up some interesting
graviton fluctuations
73
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:14,278
about ten light- years away.
74
00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:15,575
Can you be more specific?
75
00:05:15,648 --> 00:05:16,706
Not at this distance.
76
00:05:16,783 --> 00:05:17,807
Tom...
77
00:05:17,884 --> 00:05:18,873
alter course.
78
00:05:18,951 --> 00:05:20,384
l want to take
a closer look.
79
00:05:20,453 --> 00:05:23,081
Chakotay had his heart set
on that nebula we're headed for.
80
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:25,181
He'll have to wait.
81
00:05:25,258 --> 00:05:29,388
Captain, l need permission
to shut down the sensor grid.
82
00:05:29,462 --> 00:05:33,262
Seven thinks a couple of insects
are disrupting the power flow.
83
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:34,595
A mating pair
84
00:05:34,701 --> 00:05:36,464
of photonic fleas,
to be more accurate
85
00:05:36,569 --> 00:05:37,900
and possibly their offspring.
86
00:05:38,037 --> 00:05:40,938
And how did you arrive
at this theory?
87
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:42,804
Last night,
l downloaded six months
88
00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:44,342
of ship status reports
89
00:05:44,410 --> 00:05:46,935
into my new cortical subunit
while l was regenerating.
90
00:05:47,046 --> 00:05:48,604
Learn while you sleep.
91
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:50,376
l tried that once- -
gave me a headache.
92
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:51,781
Go on.
93
00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:53,944
Eight weeks ago,
an away team encountered
94
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:56,818
a Kartelan freighter carrying
supplies from Sector 492,
95
00:05:56,889 --> 00:05:59,790
a territory that included
a former Talaxian colony.
96
00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:01,759
Mr. Neelix used the opportunity
97
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:04,056
to acquire 12 kilograms
of amber spice- -
98
00:06:04,097 --> 00:06:06,088
a delicacy among his people.
99
00:06:06,165 --> 00:06:08,065
What does that have to do
with the sensor grid?
100
00:06:08,167 --> 00:06:09,828
On the same day,
101
00:06:09,936 --> 00:06:12,598
Ensign Kim was repairing
a replicator in the Mess Hall.
102
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:14,570
l remember that- -
Neelix told me
103
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,074
to stick around
to try something he was cooking.
104
00:06:17,143 --> 00:06:19,043
No doubt made
with the amber spice,
105
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:20,602
which contained the larvae
106
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,806
of the photonic fleas.
107
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:23,246
How could you possibly
know that?
108
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:27,116
Because l also downloaded data
regarding their life cycles.
109
00:06:27,186 --> 00:06:29,051
The larvae flew out
of the spice jar
110
00:06:29,122 --> 00:06:31,556
in search of their
primary source of nourishment- -
111
00:06:31,624 --> 00:06:33,057
plasma particles.
112
00:06:33,126 --> 00:06:35,253
The conduits within
the nearby sensor grid
113
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:37,694
contain an unlimited supply
of these particles.
114
00:06:37,764 --> 00:06:40,494
Ensign Kim had unwittingly
given the creatures access
115
00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:41,999
by exposing the grid.
116
00:06:42,101 --> 00:06:43,898
The now mature creatures
periodically
117
00:06:44,003 --> 00:06:45,800
tap into the conduit
for nourishment.
118
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:47,497
When they do,
the sensor emitters
119
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:49,302
momentarily
lose their resolution.
120
00:06:49,375 --> 00:06:52,503
A logical, though
highly speculative, analysis.
121
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,271
Let's find a more
suitable home for them.
122
00:07:32,618 --> 00:07:34,552
l'm picking up
graviton fluctuations.
123
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:35,814
Take us out of warp.
124
00:07:35,888 --> 00:07:37,685
On screen.
125
00:07:41,661 --> 00:07:43,891
Anybody want to hazard a guess?
126
00:07:44,030 --> 00:07:45,725
They are hailing us.
127
00:07:45,798 --> 00:07:47,390
On screen.
128
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,763
l recommend maximum shielding.
129
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:54,101
There are a few technical issues
l haven't worked out yet.
130
00:07:54,173 --> 00:07:56,664
There's a massive graviton surge
coming from that thing.
131
00:07:56,776 --> 00:07:58,243
Shields to full.
132
00:08:00,947 --> 00:08:03,347
Your apparatus appears
to be destabilizing.
133
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:06,112
lf l don't find a way to repair
this power core, they'll be able
134
00:08:06,185 --> 00:08:08,346
to see the explosion
all the way to, uh...
135
00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:09,945
Where did you say you were from?
136
00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:14,150
l didn't... but we're
from a planet called Earth.
137
00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:16,320
All the way to... Earth.
138
00:08:16,395 --> 00:08:18,386
Can we ask you
what it's supposed to do?
139
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:21,558
Catapult a vessel across space
in the time it takes to say
140
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,328
''catapult a vessel
across space.''
141
00:08:23,436 --> 00:08:25,904
lt'll make warp drive
look like a wooden sled.
142
00:08:28,608 --> 00:08:31,406
Maybe we can help you
with that power core.
143
00:08:31,477 --> 00:08:33,001
Hmm?
144
00:08:33,079 --> 00:08:35,013
The core sends a graviton surge
145
00:08:35,081 --> 00:08:36,673
through the projectors
146
00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:38,717
which locks onto a ship
147
00:08:38,784 --> 00:08:41,480
and sends it hurtling
into null space
148
00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:45,251
to emerge a few hours later,
hundreds if not thousands
149
00:08:45,324 --> 00:08:47,189
of light- years away.
150
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:49,854
l'm curious
why you built this catapult.
151
00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:53,558
Simple- - l've been looking
for a way to get home.
152
00:08:53,633 --> 00:08:54,861
We know the feeling.
153
00:08:54,934 --> 00:08:56,128
l'd been exploring
154
00:08:56,235 --> 00:08:57,566
an unstable wormhole.
155
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:59,262
Before l knew it, l was here
156
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:01,033
and my home planet was there.
157
00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:03,769
l was facing a journey
of at least ten years.
158
00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:06,107
lnstead, l decided
to build a catapult.
159
00:09:06,178 --> 00:09:07,770
Have you tested it yet?
160
00:09:07,847 --> 00:09:09,041
Two weeks ago,
161
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:11,583
l sent a probe
nearly 600 light- years,
162
00:09:11,651 --> 00:09:13,812
but it destabilized
the core.
163
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,410
l've been trying to
fix it ever since.
164
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:19,015
We can send an engineering team
over to help you.
165
00:09:19,091 --> 00:09:20,456
No, no, it's too dangerous.
166
00:09:20,526 --> 00:09:22,153
l wouldn't send my own crew
in there.
167
00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:23,627
Then we could find
a way to adjust
168
00:09:23,696 --> 00:09:24,822
the core reaction from here.
169
00:09:24,897 --> 00:09:26,194
A few well- timed
graviton pulses
170
00:09:26,265 --> 00:09:27,789
from our deflector dish
might do it.
171
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:29,391
That's generous,
172
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:31,436
but l have nothing
to give in return.
173
00:09:31,504 --> 00:09:35,031
We're not asking
for anything in return.
174
00:09:35,141 --> 00:09:38,133
You could use the catapult
after l've made my jump.
175
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:39,973
lt should still
be functional.
176
00:09:40,046 --> 00:09:41,479
A thousand light- years
177
00:09:41,547 --> 00:09:43,777
won't exactly get
you back to Earth...
178
00:09:43,849 --> 00:09:46,511
But it would cut a few
years off our trip.
179
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,679
lf you're successful,
and if l'm satisfied
180
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:50,381
a jump would be safe
for Voyager,
181
00:09:50,456 --> 00:09:52,890
then we'll take you up
on that offer. Thank you.
182
00:09:52,992 --> 00:09:54,960
Let's get started.
183
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:38,136
Come in.
184
00:10:39,338 --> 00:10:40,532
Good morning.
185
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,005
Perhaps not.
186
00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:45,110
The alien, Mr. Tash,
is trying to deceive us.
187
00:10:45,177 --> 00:10:47,145
His catapult is the same type
of technology
188
00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:48,737
that was used to trap Voyager
189
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:50,645
in the Delta Quadrant
five years ago.
190
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:59,151
l scanned the
catapult myself.
191
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:01,750
Sensors didn't pick up
anything unusual.
192
00:11:01,827 --> 00:11:04,728
You spent the night
in your new alcove.
193
00:11:04,797 --> 00:11:06,094
Processing
the same information
194
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:09,066
and cross- referencing it
with Voyager's database.
195
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:11,136
When the catapult
destabilized yesterday,
196
00:11:11,203 --> 00:11:12,636
astrometric sensors recorded
197
00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:14,639
a momentary burst
of epsilon radiation.
198
00:11:14,707 --> 00:11:17,335
Unusual, but not unheard of.
199
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:18,877
Epsilon radiation is
200
00:11:18,978 --> 00:11:21,538
one the byproducts
of a tetryon reactor.
201
00:11:21,614 --> 00:11:23,741
According to your own entries
in the database,
202
00:11:23,816 --> 00:11:26,114
your only encounter
with that kind of technology
203
00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:27,277
occurred five years ago
204
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:28,752
in the Alpha Quadrant.
205
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:30,311
A coherent tetryon beam
206
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:32,823
locked onto Voyager,
and you were hit by a massive
207
00:11:32,892 --> 00:11:34,792
displacement wave,
which pulled you across
208
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:36,760
70,000 light- years
in a matter of minutes.
209
00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:41,163
The source of that tetryon beam
was the Caretaker's Array.
210
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:44,168
Mr. Tash claims that his
catapult will be able to do
211
00:11:44,236 --> 00:11:45,897
something very similar.
212
00:11:49,608 --> 00:11:52,668
He didn't want us
to send over a repair team.
213
00:11:52,745 --> 00:11:54,406
Out of concern
for our safety.
214
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,380
lt's obvious he was
trying to hide
215
00:11:56,449 --> 00:11:57,609
his tetryon reactor.
216
00:11:59,618 --> 00:12:01,245
The first time we met
a Caretaker,
217
00:12:01,353 --> 00:12:03,583
we were pulled
halfway across the galaxy.
218
00:12:03,622 --> 00:12:06,420
The second time
we were almost killed.
219
00:12:06,492 --> 00:12:09,655
l'm not eager for a third round.
220
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,823
ls this any way
to treat a colleague?
221
00:12:12,898 --> 00:12:15,992
Not so much as a molecule
of Caretaker DNA.
222
00:12:16,102 --> 00:12:18,730
Thank you, Doctor.
223
00:12:18,838 --> 00:12:21,898
There's a tetryon reactor
powering your catapult.
224
00:12:22,074 --> 00:12:26,135
You didn't want us
to find it, did you?
225
00:12:26,212 --> 00:12:29,648
Unless you answer my questions,
l'll resume course,
226
00:12:29,715 --> 00:12:32,445
and you can ask
somebody else for help.
227
00:12:32,518 --> 00:12:36,147
Look, l acquired the tetryon
reactor at great cost.
228
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:38,554
This territory is
full of species
229
00:12:38,624 --> 00:12:42,287
who would do anything for
such advanced technology,
230
00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:43,828
including steal it.
231
00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:46,962
l apologize for the deception,
232
00:12:47,032 --> 00:12:48,829
but you do understand.
233
00:12:51,704 --> 00:12:53,865
We made an agreement
to cooperate.
234
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:55,964
l see no reason
not to continue.
235
00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:57,575
Thank you, Captain.
236
00:12:57,643 --> 00:12:59,770
Keep me informed
on your progress.
237
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,643
That reactor had
to come from somewhere.
238
00:13:02,715 --> 00:13:04,273
l can't just ignore
the possibility
239
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:05,647
of a Caretaker nearby.
240
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:06,685
Keep scanning.
241
00:13:06,752 --> 00:13:07,810
See what you can find.
242
00:13:07,887 --> 00:13:09,377
There is another
possibility.
243
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,355
The reactor may have come
from the same Array
244
00:13:11,423 --> 00:13:13,288
that brought Voyager
to the Delta Quadrant.
245
00:13:13,359 --> 00:13:14,986
That's a long shot, Seven.
246
00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:16,152
Maybe not.
247
00:13:16,228 --> 00:13:18,128
Again, according to your
own reports, you believed
248
00:13:18,197 --> 00:13:19,562
the only way
to keep the Array
249
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:21,725
from falling
into the wrong hands
250
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:22,893
was to destroy it.
251
00:13:23,068 --> 00:13:24,126
lt's possible
252
00:13:24,236 --> 00:13:26,067
the destruction
was incomplete.
253
00:13:26,138 --> 00:13:29,938
And one of the reactors
survived?
254
00:13:30,042 --> 00:13:31,942
We scanned for debris.
255
00:13:32,077 --> 00:13:35,911
There was nothing left but some
fused pieces of metal alloy.
256
00:13:35,981 --> 00:13:38,347
l wish to reexamine the sensor
records from that event.
257
00:13:38,417 --> 00:13:39,850
ln case we were mistaken.
258
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:41,045
Yes.
259
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,350
Go right ahead.
260
00:13:43,422 --> 00:13:45,754
Computer,
describe the debris remaining
261
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:47,952
after the Array was destroyed.
262
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:50,552
Particulate dust
and metallic fragments
263
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:52,961
composed of an unknown alloy,
264
00:13:53,032 --> 00:13:56,195
vapor composed of hydrogen,
helium, mercury and argon.
265
00:13:56,302 --> 00:13:58,862
Was there anything left
of the tetryon reactor?
266
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:00,199
Negative.
267
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:03,969
Specify the yield
of the tricobalt device.
268
00:14:04,043 --> 00:14:06,375
20,000 teracochranes.
269
00:14:06,445 --> 00:14:08,242
Who programmed the device?
270
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:09,440
Commander Tuvok.
271
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:12,416
Display the detonation.
272
00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:18,056
Advance the image
by .01 seconds.
273
00:14:18,123 --> 00:14:19,522
Again.
274
00:14:21,493 --> 00:14:24,291
lsolate grid 3- 7 and magnify.
275
00:14:26,899 --> 00:14:28,526
ls that a tractor beam?
276
00:14:28,634 --> 00:14:30,431
lnsufficient sensor data.
277
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:32,935
ldentify its source.
278
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:35,472
lnsufficient sensor data.
279
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:39,102
ldentify the isolated section
of the Array.
280
00:14:39,178 --> 00:14:40,941
Secondary power core.
281
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,641
Which contained
a tetryon reactor.
282
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:46,810
Affirmative.
283
00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:53,951
Commander, l've been
reviewing the data
284
00:14:54,093 --> 00:14:56,653
on the destruction
of the Caretaker's Array.
285
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:59,630
Unfortunately, the sensor
records are incomplete.
286
00:14:59,698 --> 00:15:00,687
l don't doubt it.
287
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:02,699
We were being attacked
by the Kazon.
288
00:15:02,768 --> 00:15:04,668
Half the ship's
systems were down.
289
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:05,669
A single Kazon vessel.
290
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:08,229
Armed to the teeth.
291
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:10,399
Commander, you fired
the tricobalt charge
292
00:15:10,509 --> 00:15:11,771
that destroyed the Array.
293
00:15:11,844 --> 00:15:12,776
Correct.
294
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:14,244
Under the Captain's orders?
295
00:15:14,313 --> 00:15:17,339
Did you also program
the charge?
296
00:15:17,416 --> 00:15:18,747
Yes.
297
00:15:18,817 --> 00:15:20,512
Under the Captain's orders
as well?
298
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:21,746
Not directly.
299
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:23,981
l determined the yield.
300
00:15:24,056 --> 00:15:25,683
20,000 teracochranes.
301
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:26,884
That's correct.
302
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:28,755
According to sensor estimates
303
00:15:28,827 --> 00:15:31,523
of the Array's hull integrity,
a charge of half that yield
304
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:33,292
would have been
sufficient.
305
00:15:33,365 --> 00:15:36,562
The Captain wanted nothing left
for the Kazon to use.
306
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:39,832
l calculated a yield
certain to produce that result.
307
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:41,873
Something may have
escaped the blast- -
308
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:43,431
one of the tetryon reactors.
309
00:15:43,542 --> 00:15:45,510
But we scanned for debris.
310
00:15:45,611 --> 00:15:49,172
The charge you detonated
tore an opening in subspace.
311
00:15:49,248 --> 00:15:51,648
And that's where
the reactor went?
312
00:15:51,717 --> 00:15:52,945
Yes.
313
00:15:53,085 --> 00:15:54,882
How?
314
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:57,252
lt was pushed there
by a tractor beam.
315
00:15:57,323 --> 00:15:58,722
Do you have evidence
316
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:00,850
of a tractor beam?
317
00:16:00,926 --> 00:16:02,416
Perhaps.
318
00:16:02,494 --> 00:16:05,292
Speculation is not evidence.
319
00:16:05,364 --> 00:16:06,956
There was no tractor beam,
320
00:16:07,032 --> 00:16:10,126
because there was no ship
in the vicinity to generate one,
321
00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:12,203
unless you can prove otherwise.
322
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:15,398
Thank you, Commander.
323
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:38,263
Looking for a midnight snack?
324
00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:39,524
l require information.
325
00:16:39,598 --> 00:16:40,724
l'm attempting to determine
326
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:42,130
whether the
catapult technology
327
00:16:42,234 --> 00:16:43,895
was derived from
the Caretaker's Array.
328
00:16:44,036 --> 00:16:44,900
So l heard.
329
00:16:45,037 --> 00:16:47,198
A fascinating theory.
330
00:16:47,306 --> 00:16:49,274
lt's got my mind spinning.
331
00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:51,241
How long were you
in the vicinity of the Array
332
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:52,538
before Voyager arrived?
333
00:16:52,611 --> 00:16:53,578
About a year.
334
00:16:53,645 --> 00:16:55,704
Kes was on a nearby planet
335
00:16:55,781 --> 00:16:58,716
and, uh, we were
getting very close.
336
00:16:58,784 --> 00:16:59,944
Did you ever encounter
337
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,350
the Caretaker directly?
338
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:02,819
No, no, no, no, no, no.
339
00:17:02,888 --> 00:17:05,686
ln my opinion, any being
powerful enough to grab ships
340
00:17:05,758 --> 00:17:08,488
from the other side
of the galaxy should be avoided.
341
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,050
According to
Voyager's database,
342
00:17:10,129 --> 00:17:11,357
he claimed he was searching
343
00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:13,022
for a genetically
compatible mate.
344
00:17:13,098 --> 00:17:14,656
Did you believe
that explanation?
345
00:17:14,733 --> 00:17:17,224
l had no reason to doubt it,
346
00:17:17,336 --> 00:17:20,396
though it did seem
a bit excessive.
347
00:17:20,506 --> 00:17:21,564
l mean, all those ships.
348
00:17:21,673 --> 00:17:22,867
What happened to them?
349
00:17:22,941 --> 00:17:24,568
Well, after he sampled
the crew's DNA,
350
00:17:24,643 --> 00:17:26,235
he sent them back
where they came from
351
00:17:26,311 --> 00:17:27,437
l suppose.
352
00:17:27,513 --> 00:17:28,878
You know, Kes always thought
353
00:17:29,014 --> 00:17:32,006
something more was going on,
354
00:17:32,084 --> 00:17:34,780
but she had
quite an imagination.
355
00:17:34,853 --> 00:17:37,048
Were there any other ships
in the area
356
00:17:37,122 --> 00:17:38,453
after Voyager arrived?
357
00:17:38,524 --> 00:17:39,456
Only the Kazon.
358
00:17:39,525 --> 00:17:40,617
But the Caretaker
359
00:17:40,692 --> 00:17:41,989
could have pulled in
360
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:44,325
another vessel...
a cloaked ship, perhaps.
361
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:46,057
Seven, what are you getting at?
362
00:17:46,131 --> 00:17:47,223
A third ship hidden
363
00:17:47,299 --> 00:17:48,823
from both Voyager and the Kazon.
364
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:51,734
What was it doing there?
365
00:17:51,837 --> 00:17:55,034
Preventing the tetryon reactor
from being destroyed.
366
00:17:55,107 --> 00:17:57,234
Kes was right.
367
00:17:57,309 --> 00:18:00,642
Something was going on.
368
00:18:00,712 --> 00:18:02,942
Voyager's sensor logs were
damaged in the Kazon attack.
369
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:03,982
l can't be certain.
370
00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:07,041
Maybe l can help.
371
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,746
The sensor records
off my ship
372
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:09,913
weren't damaged.
373
00:18:09,988 --> 00:18:11,455
l can give them to you.
374
00:18:35,714 --> 00:18:37,545
The tetryon reaction is stable.
375
00:18:37,616 --> 00:18:40,483
Graviton field is set
for a 100 light- year jump.
376
00:18:40,552 --> 00:18:42,486
The catapult's locking on
to him.
377
00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:43,885
We're being hailed.
378
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,321
On screen.
379
00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:49,690
l'll contact you the moment
l reenter normal space.
380
00:18:49,761 --> 00:18:50,989
Thank you, Captain.
381
00:18:51,063 --> 00:18:52,690
My pleasure.
382
00:18:52,764 --> 00:18:54,061
Catapult is at full power.
383
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:55,760
Good- bye to you all.
384
00:18:57,402 --> 00:19:00,303
Final launch sequence
has been initiated.
385
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:12,808
He's gone.
386
00:19:12,951 --> 00:19:14,680
How long before we can expect
387
00:19:14,753 --> 00:19:16,015
to hear from him?
388
00:19:16,088 --> 00:19:18,522
lf his vessel survived,
one or two hours.
389
00:19:18,590 --> 00:19:19,557
Seven of Nine
390
00:19:19,625 --> 00:19:21,149
to Commander Chakotay.
391
00:19:21,226 --> 00:19:22,454
Go ahead.
392
00:19:22,528 --> 00:19:25,827
l require your assistance
in the Astrometrics Lab.
393
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:27,798
On my way.
394
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:32,837
Computer, seal the doors.
395
00:19:32,905 --> 00:19:35,373
Deactivate all sensors
within this room.
396
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,407
Acknowledged.
397
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:37,840
What's this about?
398
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:40,743
l believe Voyager's presence
in the Delta Quadrant
399
00:19:40,812 --> 00:19:42,177
is no accident.
400
00:19:42,247 --> 00:19:44,841
You and the crew have been
stranded here intentionally.
401
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:46,851
By whom?
402
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:48,750
Captain Janeway.
403
00:19:52,758 --> 00:19:54,555
The Captain and Tuvok
were involved
404
00:19:54,626 --> 00:19:56,093
in a Federation conspiracy.
405
00:19:56,161 --> 00:19:58,391
They're in collusion
with the Caretaker
406
00:19:58,463 --> 00:20:00,090
and possibly
the Cardassians.
407
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:01,792
l see.
408
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:04,529
And the point
of this conspiracy?
409
00:20:04,636 --> 00:20:06,297
l believe
they're attempting to establish
410
00:20:06,405 --> 00:20:08,168
a military presence
in the Delta Quadrant.
411
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,571
That's quite a theory.
412
00:20:09,641 --> 00:20:11,506
Perhaps you haven't heard
of the Jankata Accord.
413
00:20:11,577 --> 00:20:13,670
''No species shall
enter another Quadrant
414
00:20:13,745 --> 00:20:15,940
for the purpose
of territorial expansion.''
415
00:20:16,048 --> 00:20:18,778
The Federation signed it,
the Cardassians signed it,
416
00:20:18,850 --> 00:20:22,081
and Captain Janeway would be
the last person to violate it.
417
00:20:22,154 --> 00:20:23,485
lmprobable as it may sound,
418
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:25,682
l've found compelling evidence
419
00:20:25,757 --> 00:20:27,281
to support my theory.
420
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,122
What kind of evidence?
421
00:20:29,194 --> 00:20:32,163
l've analyzed over 30 million
teraquads of data
422
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:33,664
regarding Voyager's
activities
423
00:20:33,732 --> 00:20:34,960
over the past five years.
424
00:20:35,033 --> 00:20:36,466
lt's quite clear
425
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:39,002
that we've been the victim
of an elaborate deception.
426
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:41,935
l don't have the benefit
of a cortical processor.
427
00:20:42,007 --> 00:20:44,475
Why don't you give me
the abridged version?
428
00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:46,976
ln the months
before Voyager's arrival,
429
00:20:47,045 --> 00:20:48,842
Neelix recorded
the appearance
430
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:51,041
of 52 vessels,
including this one.
431
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:54,152
A Cardassian warship.
432
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:57,017
A remarkable coincidence.
433
00:20:57,122 --> 00:20:58,919
Only days
before Voyager's arrival,
434
00:20:58,991 --> 00:21:01,687
the Cardassians were already
in the Delta Quadrant.
435
00:21:01,793 --> 00:21:04,626
The Caretaker was trying
to find a mate, remember?
436
00:21:04,663 --> 00:21:07,291
He was pulling ships
from all over the galaxy.
437
00:21:07,366 --> 00:21:09,527
l'm familiar
with the Caretaker's actions.
438
00:21:09,635 --> 00:21:12,195
ln each instance,
he would examine the crew's DNA
439
00:21:12,304 --> 00:21:14,465
and when he failed
to find a genetic match,
440
00:21:14,573 --> 00:21:17,098
he would release the vessel,
but in this instance,
441
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:19,473
Neelix's sensors indicated
the ship vanished.
442
00:21:19,544 --> 00:21:20,875
Obviously, it was returned
443
00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:22,208
to the Alpha Quadrant.
444
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:23,373
Why?
445
00:21:23,448 --> 00:21:25,416
You seem to have
all the answers.
446
00:21:25,484 --> 00:21:27,111
l believe the Cardassians
were sent back
447
00:21:27,185 --> 00:21:28,516
to deliver strategic information
448
00:21:28,587 --> 00:21:30,555
regarding the Delta Quadrant.
449
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:31,748
Conjecture.
450
00:21:31,823 --> 00:21:33,085
Extrapolation.
451
00:21:33,158 --> 00:21:34,819
l can believe the Cardassians
452
00:21:34,893 --> 00:21:37,088
might be involved in this,
but not Starfleet.
453
00:21:37,162 --> 00:21:38,527
There are precedents
454
00:21:38,597 --> 00:21:41,327
for unauthorized missions
of this type, Commander.
455
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,391
According
to the Federation database,
456
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:45,970
the Maquis were victims
of several of them.
457
00:21:48,940 --> 00:21:51,238
All right,
you've got my attention.
458
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,939
You said that Tuvok and
Captain Janeway were involved.
459
00:21:55,013 --> 00:21:56,275
Tell me how.
460
00:21:56,348 --> 00:21:57,781
At the same time
461
00:21:57,849 --> 00:21:59,783
the Cardassians were meeting
with the Caretaker,
462
00:21:59,851 --> 00:22:01,341
your Maquis vessel
was infiltrated
463
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:03,045
with a Starfleet agent.
464
00:22:03,088 --> 00:22:04,214
Tuvok.
465
00:22:04,289 --> 00:22:05,881
Your navigator.
466
00:22:05,957 --> 00:22:07,117
He guided your ship
467
00:22:07,192 --> 00:22:09,387
to prearranged coordinates
in the Badlands,
468
00:22:09,461 --> 00:22:11,361
where the Caretaker
locked onto you.
469
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:13,762
Once you were pulled
into the Delta Quadrant
470
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:15,629
Tuvok could've
secretly transmitted
471
00:22:15,701 --> 00:22:17,635
final instructions
to the Caretaker.
472
00:22:17,703 --> 00:22:20,297
A short time later,
Captain Janeway guided Voyager
473
00:22:20,405 --> 00:22:21,565
to the same coordinates
474
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:23,937
and was also pulled
into the Delta Quadrant.
475
00:22:24,076 --> 00:22:26,840
All of these events took place
within a matter of days.
476
00:22:26,912 --> 00:22:28,277
l find that suspicious.
477
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:31,316
l'll admit, the timing seems
a little convenient,
478
00:22:31,383 --> 00:22:34,079
but that doesn't mean
there was a master plan.
479
00:22:34,152 --> 00:22:37,644
Why did the Captain
destroy the Array?
480
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:40,658
So the Kazon couldn't use it
to attack the Ocampa.
481
00:22:40,726 --> 00:22:43,354
That's what she told the crew,
but l believe she intended
482
00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:45,362
to remain
in the Delta Quadrant all along.
483
00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:46,897
lf the Array
had remained intact,
484
00:22:46,965 --> 00:22:49,490
you and all the others
would have insisted on using it
485
00:22:49,601 --> 00:22:50,590
to return home.
486
00:22:50,702 --> 00:22:52,294
She was keeping it
from the Kazon.
487
00:22:52,404 --> 00:22:54,770
The Captain ordered
Commander Tuvok
488
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,398
to destroy the Array.
489
00:22:56,508 --> 00:22:58,203
He fired
two tricobalt devices.
490
00:23:01,813 --> 00:23:04,111
Are those weapons
normally carried
491
00:23:04,182 --> 00:23:05,877
on Federation starships?
492
00:23:05,951 --> 00:23:07,111
No.
493
00:23:07,185 --> 00:23:09,653
Yet they were part
of Voyager's arsenal.
494
00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:10,653
Why?
495
00:23:10,722 --> 00:23:12,656
l can't explain that.
496
00:23:12,724 --> 00:23:13,986
l can.
497
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:15,822
Neither phasers nor torpedoes
498
00:23:15,894 --> 00:23:18,089
are capable
of creating a tear in subspace.
499
00:23:18,163 --> 00:23:19,687
A tricobalt device is.
500
00:23:19,765 --> 00:23:23,633
As Tuvok detonated the device,
a cloaked ship locked on
501
00:23:23,735 --> 00:23:25,896
to one of the Array's
tetryon reactors
502
00:23:26,004 --> 00:23:26,936
and pushed it
503
00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:28,869
through the tear into subspace,
504
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:30,635
protecting it from the blast,
505
00:23:30,709 --> 00:23:33,109
and hiding it
from Voyager's sensors...
506
00:23:33,178 --> 00:23:34,941
but the Captain and Tuvok knew
507
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,707
exactly where it was going.
508
00:23:36,782 --> 00:23:38,340
Once Voyager left the area,
509
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:40,647
the reactor was retrieved
510
00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:41,947
and began a similar journey
511
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:43,554
carried by a series of vessels,
512
00:23:43,622 --> 00:23:45,783
until it was finally
delivered to Mr. Tash.
513
00:23:45,857 --> 00:23:48,690
Who used it
to build the catapult.
514
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,557
He was waiting here for Voyager
515
00:23:50,629 --> 00:23:52,961
and for the final phase
of the mission.
516
00:23:53,064 --> 00:23:55,498
Which is what, exactly?
517
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:57,535
l don't think
Captain Janeway is planning
518
00:23:57,602 --> 00:24:00,002
to use the catapult
to get Voyager closer to home.
519
00:24:00,038 --> 00:24:02,632
l think she's going to use it
to bring in more vessels
520
00:24:02,741 --> 00:24:04,504
from the Alpha Quadrant.
521
00:24:04,576 --> 00:24:05,975
lf l'm correct,
522
00:24:06,044 --> 00:24:08,205
this region of space
will soon be occupied
523
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,510
by a Federation- Cardassian
invasion force.
524
00:24:10,582 --> 00:24:11,514
You've uncovered
525
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:12,845
some interesting facts,
526
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:15,216
but your interpretation
is farfetched.
527
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:16,811
These are random incidents.
528
00:24:16,888 --> 00:24:19,322
Granted, some of them
are hard to explain,
529
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:21,188
but there's no conspiracy here.
530
00:24:21,259 --> 00:24:24,786
Stardate 51008.
531
00:24:24,863 --> 00:24:26,990
Captain Janeway allows Kes
to leave Voyager.
532
00:24:27,065 --> 00:24:28,794
Neelix told me
that Kes had suspicions
533
00:24:28,867 --> 00:24:30,095
about the Caretaker.
534
00:24:30,202 --> 00:24:32,432
Was the Captain trying
to silence her?
535
00:24:32,537 --> 00:24:34,061
Stardate 51462.
536
00:24:34,172 --> 00:24:35,730
The Doctor's program
is transmitted
537
00:24:35,841 --> 00:24:36,808
to a Starfleet vessel
538
00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:38,672
on the outskirts
of the Alpha Quadrant- -
539
00:24:38,743 --> 00:24:40,210
an attempt by the Captain
to contact Earth,
540
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:41,939
or a secret communiquй
541
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,945
informing Starfleet
of her progress?
542
00:24:44,015 --> 00:24:46,176
Stardate 50984.
543
00:24:46,251 --> 00:24:48,481
Janeway forges an alliance
with the Borg.
544
00:24:48,553 --> 00:24:52,080
Stardate 517 62.
A cease- fire with the Hirogen.
545
00:24:52,157 --> 00:24:53,647
Stardate 52861.
546
00:24:53,725 --> 00:24:56,125
A non- aggression pact
with the Terkellian.
547
00:24:56,194 --> 00:24:58,754
She called each incident,
''diplomacy.''
548
00:24:58,830 --> 00:24:59,762
l believe she was trying
549
00:24:59,831 --> 00:25:01,822
to establish
a tactical infrastructure
550
00:25:01,967 --> 00:25:02,991
in the Delta Quadrant.
551
00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:04,227
Over the past five years,
552
00:25:04,336 --> 00:25:06,668
Captain Janeway
has altered course 263
553
00:25:06,738 --> 00:25:08,603
times
in the name of exploration.
554
00:25:08,673 --> 00:25:11,005
ln reality, she was mapping
the region and collecting
555
00:25:11,076 --> 00:25:12,134
strategic data regarding...
556
00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:13,404
l get the point.
557
00:25:13,478 --> 00:25:16,106
You still doubt my suspicions,
558
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:18,581
but can you be certain
l'm wrong?
559
00:25:18,650 --> 00:25:20,277
Absolutely certain?
560
00:25:22,954 --> 00:25:24,012
No.
561
00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:25,613
Until you are,
562
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:27,521
you mustn't allow
Captain Janeway
563
00:25:27,592 --> 00:25:29,560
to retain control
of the catapult.
564
00:25:40,171 --> 00:25:43,140
l'm picking up a transmission,
heavily distorted.
565
00:25:43,241 --> 00:25:44,469
He made it.
566
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:46,670
Can you clear it up?
567
00:25:48,346 --> 00:25:49,643
Success, Captain- -
568
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:51,477
5,000 light- years.
569
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:53,484
Are you all right?
570
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:56,043
A few systems overloaded- -
nothing serious.
571
00:25:56,121 --> 00:25:58,954
l had to readjust my shields
during mid- flight- -
572
00:25:59,024 --> 00:26:00,514
almost lost my outer hull.
573
00:26:00,625 --> 00:26:02,855
l'm sending you
the modifications.
574
00:26:02,961 --> 00:26:04,826
My catapult is yours, Captain.
575
00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:05,863
Good luck.
576
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:09,762
Get that data down to B'Elanna.
577
00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:10,766
Tell her
578
00:26:10,869 --> 00:26:12,097
to enhance our shields.
579
00:26:12,203 --> 00:26:14,535
So we're going ahead
with the jump?
580
00:26:14,606 --> 00:26:16,597
l want to run
a few more tests,
581
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,005
launch some probes,
582
00:26:18,076 --> 00:26:20,101
but if it all checks out,
l see no reason not to.
583
00:26:20,178 --> 00:26:21,873
l've received
584
00:26:22,013 --> 00:26:23,002
the telemetry.
585
00:26:23,081 --> 00:26:24,912
l'll take it to Engineering.
586
00:26:31,957 --> 00:26:33,891
l want you to add
a .03 variance
587
00:26:34,025 --> 00:26:35,890
to these shield
modifications.
588
00:26:35,961 --> 00:26:37,724
That'll disrupt
the emitters.
589
00:26:37,796 --> 00:26:39,661
And you'll need
another six hours
590
00:26:39,731 --> 00:26:41,562
to get them back
on line, l know.
591
00:26:41,633 --> 00:26:43,567
Have you run this
by the Captain?
592
00:26:43,668 --> 00:26:44,726
No...
593
00:26:44,836 --> 00:26:46,394
and l'm not going to...
594
00:26:46,504 --> 00:26:48,768
not yet.
595
00:26:54,412 --> 00:26:55,674
She's pulling your leg.
596
00:26:55,747 --> 00:26:59,615
lt- it's got to be some kind
of Borg practical joke.
597
00:27:00,919 --> 00:27:02,011
She wasn't joking.
598
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:03,179
A secret mission?
599
00:27:03,254 --> 00:27:05,688
Starfleet in league
with the Caretaker?
600
00:27:05,757 --> 00:27:07,554
lt's ridiculous.
601
00:27:09,694 --> 00:27:10,786
''Ridiculous''?
602
00:27:10,862 --> 00:27:12,693
Seven has some
compelling evidence.
603
00:27:12,764 --> 00:27:14,322
Well, then,
let's go to the Captain,
604
00:27:14,399 --> 00:27:15,331
get a straight answer.
605
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,594
''Good morning, Kathryn.
606
00:27:16,701 --> 00:27:18,134
''All systems are operational.
607
00:27:18,203 --> 00:27:19,727
''The crew's in good health.
608
00:27:19,838 --> 00:27:21,066
''And by the way, is it true
609
00:27:21,172 --> 00:27:23,197
you've been lying
to us for five years?''
610
00:27:29,648 --> 00:27:32,242
l'm not prepared
to make that accusation,
611
00:27:32,317 --> 00:27:34,945
but l can't ignore
what l've heard, either.
612
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:40,582
So, what do you suggest?
613
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:43,457
l want you to delay
those shield modifications.
614
00:27:43,528 --> 00:27:46,622
That'll give me time
to check Seven's database,
615
00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:48,791
take a look
at the evidence myself.
616
00:27:51,369 --> 00:27:53,735
The Captain asked me
to work with you on the shields.
617
00:27:53,805 --> 00:27:55,568
That won't be
necessary, Ensign.
618
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,937
Oh, l don't mind.
619
00:27:57,042 --> 00:27:59,135
Oh, you know how eager she is
to make that jump.
620
00:27:59,210 --> 00:28:00,438
Harry, we're fine here.
621
00:28:02,147 --> 00:28:03,239
''Too many cooks,'' Harry.
622
00:28:03,314 --> 00:28:04,576
You know how it is.
623
00:28:04,649 --> 00:28:06,879
We'll let you know
when we're done.
624
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:16,219
Download complete.
625
00:28:20,265 --> 00:28:22,256
Seven of Nine
to Captain Janeway.
626
00:28:22,333 --> 00:28:23,527
Go ahead.
627
00:28:23,635 --> 00:28:26,604
l need to speak with you
in the Astrometrics Lab.
628
00:28:26,705 --> 00:28:27,797
l'm on my way.
629
00:28:33,144 --> 00:28:34,372
Computer, seal the door
630
00:28:34,446 --> 00:28:36,880
and deactivate internal sensors
to this room.
631
00:28:36,981 --> 00:28:37,879
Acknowledged.
632
00:28:37,982 --> 00:28:38,880
Seven?
633
00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:40,143
l believe Chakotay
634
00:28:40,218 --> 00:28:42,413
and other members
of your crew are involved
635
00:28:42,487 --> 00:28:43,886
in a conspiracy to resurrect
636
00:28:43,988 --> 00:28:45,080
the Maquis Rebellion.
637
00:28:45,156 --> 00:28:47,351
Did Chakotay put
you up to this?
638
00:28:47,425 --> 00:28:50,087
Voyager and the
Federation itself
639
00:28:50,161 --> 00:28:51,185
are in grave danger.
640
00:28:51,262 --> 00:28:52,354
Go on.
641
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:54,193
l've concluded
that Chakotay intends
642
00:28:54,265 --> 00:28:56,256
to use the catapult
to launch attacks
643
00:28:56,334 --> 00:28:58,700
against Cardassian
and Federation starships.
644
00:28:58,803 --> 00:29:00,361
Chakotay gave up his allegiance
645
00:29:00,472 --> 00:29:02,099
to the Maquis a long time ago.
646
00:29:02,207 --> 00:29:03,572
What you're saying
makes no sense.
647
00:29:03,641 --> 00:29:04,573
lmprobable as it may sound,
648
00:29:04,642 --> 00:29:06,803
l found
compelling evidence
649
00:29:06,945 --> 00:29:09,209
to support my theory.
650
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,976
ln the months
before Voyager's arrival,
651
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:14,678
Neelix recorded
the sudden appearance
652
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:17,347
of 52 vessels...
including this one.
653
00:29:17,422 --> 00:29:20,755
A Cardassian warship.
654
00:29:20,825 --> 00:29:23,123
l've analyzed the hull geometry
and warp signature.
655
00:29:23,194 --> 00:29:24,422
lt was one
of the same ships
656
00:29:24,496 --> 00:29:26,259
that were pursuing Chakotay
and his crew
657
00:29:26,331 --> 00:29:28,026
in the region known
as the Badlands.
658
00:29:28,099 --> 00:29:29,760
lt was pulled
into the Delta Quadrant
659
00:29:29,868 --> 00:29:31,631
by the Caretaker
during that engagement.
660
00:29:31,736 --> 00:29:33,260
According
to Federation records,
661
00:29:33,371 --> 00:29:35,839
that same Cardassian warship
was found destroyed
662
00:29:35,974 --> 00:29:37,032
in the Badlands.
663
00:29:37,142 --> 00:29:38,473
The investigation revealed
664
00:29:38,543 --> 00:29:40,340
that it was attacked
by the Maquis.
665
00:29:40,411 --> 00:29:42,106
l believe that for
some unknown reason
666
00:29:42,180 --> 00:29:43,579
the Caretaker had
sent this ship
667
00:29:43,648 --> 00:29:44,842
back to the Alpha Quadrant,
668
00:29:44,916 --> 00:29:47,146
and that Commander Chakotay
attacked the vessel
669
00:29:47,218 --> 00:29:49,015
before it could reach
its destination.
670
00:29:49,087 --> 00:29:50,520
He downloaded its computer core
671
00:29:50,588 --> 00:29:53,148
and discovered the presence
of the Caretaker's Array.
672
00:29:53,224 --> 00:29:55,215
He realized that the
Array could be used
673
00:29:55,293 --> 00:29:56,555
by the Maquis as a weapon
674
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:58,596
to launch surprise attacks
against Cardassian
675
00:29:58,663 --> 00:29:59,721
and Starfleet vessels.
676
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,701
Well, l commend you
for your imagination,
677
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:07,533
but Tuvok was a spy
on Chakotay's ship.
678
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:09,436
lf your theory were true,
679
00:30:09,507 --> 00:30:11,498
he would have
known about it.
680
00:30:11,609 --> 00:30:12,541
He does.
681
00:30:12,610 --> 00:30:14,771
Tuvok has been
collaborating
682
00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:16,643
with the Maquis resistance
all along.
683
00:30:16,714 --> 00:30:18,045
That's not possible, Seven.
684
00:30:18,116 --> 00:30:19,276
With Tuvok's assistance,
685
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:20,612
Chakotay plotted a course
686
00:30:20,685 --> 00:30:22,380
toward the next
likely appearance
687
00:30:22,453 --> 00:30:24,284
of the Caretaker's
displacement wave
688
00:30:24,355 --> 00:30:25,822
offering his vessel as bait.
689
00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:27,187
His ploy almost succeeded,
690
00:30:27,258 --> 00:30:29,055
but the Caretaker was
more powerful
691
00:30:29,127 --> 00:30:30,151
than he anticipated.
692
00:30:30,228 --> 00:30:31,957
His crew was taken captive.
693
00:30:32,096 --> 00:30:34,496
A few days later,
Voyager arrived
694
00:30:34,566 --> 00:30:35,965
and facilitated their escape.
695
00:30:36,067 --> 00:30:37,557
Chakotay seized that opportunity
696
00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:40,194
to make one last attempt
to gain control of the Array,
697
00:30:40,305 --> 00:30:42,398
but, then, you gave the order
to destroy it.
698
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:45,772
Circumstantial evidence- -
not proof.
699
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:48,312
Who carried out your order
to destroy the Array?
700
00:30:48,379 --> 00:30:49,311
Tuvok.
701
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:50,574
Using what type
of technology?
702
00:30:50,648 --> 00:30:52,013
Tricobalt devices.
703
00:30:53,384 --> 00:30:55,978
He set the yield
to 20,000 teracochranes.
704
00:30:56,054 --> 00:30:58,022
lt was enough
to tear an opening
705
00:30:58,089 --> 00:30:59,021
in subspace.
706
00:30:59,090 --> 00:31:00,557
A cloaked ship locked on
707
00:31:00,658 --> 00:31:02,148
to one of the reactors,
protecting it
708
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:04,821
from the blast and hiding it
from Voyager's sensors.
709
00:31:04,896 --> 00:31:06,158
The reactor was retrieved
710
00:31:06,231 --> 00:31:07,892
and carried
by a series of vessels,
711
00:31:07,999 --> 00:31:09,864
until it was delivered
to Mr. Tash,
712
00:31:09,968 --> 00:31:11,731
who was well- compensated
by Chakotay
713
00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:13,303
to build the catapult.
714
00:31:13,404 --> 00:31:16,737
He was waiting here for Voyager,
so Chakotay could complete
715
00:31:16,808 --> 00:31:19,868
the mission he was forced
to abandon five years ago.
716
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:25,306
l'd be willing to consider
this theory of yours...
717
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:28,819
if l didn't know Chakotay
as well as l do.
718
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:32,345
There is no one on this ship
l trust more.
719
00:31:34,392 --> 00:31:35,950
What you've done here
720
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:37,960
is build what we call
a house of cards.
721
00:31:38,096 --> 00:31:40,564
Stardate 48658.
722
00:31:40,632 --> 00:31:43,795
Commander Seska is revealed
to be a Cardassian spy.
723
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:45,369
She defects to the Kazon
724
00:31:45,470 --> 00:31:48,132
and impregnates herself
with Chakotay's DNA.
725
00:31:48,239 --> 00:31:50,503
Was he unaware of the procedure,
as he claims,
726
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:52,008
or were they working together
727
00:31:52,076 --> 00:31:54,374
to create a new Kazon sect
to capture Voyager?
728
00:31:54,445 --> 00:31:55,469
Stardate 49522.
729
00:31:55,546 --> 00:31:57,776
Chakotay recommends
establishing
730
00:31:57,849 --> 00:32:00,010
trade relations
with the Kolhari.
731
00:32:00,051 --> 00:32:02,383
Their technology uses
tetryon power cells.
732
00:32:02,453 --> 00:32:03,886
A simple diplomatic
overture,
733
00:32:03,988 --> 00:32:07,287
or was he seeking a source
of energy for the catapult?
734
00:32:07,358 --> 00:32:09,223
Stardate 4957 1...
735
00:32:21,372 --> 00:32:23,203
Seven.
736
00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:24,673
Naomi Wildman.
737
00:32:24,742 --> 00:32:25,766
Where are you going?
738
00:32:25,877 --> 00:32:27,469
That's not your concern.
739
00:32:27,545 --> 00:32:29,012
What's wrong?
740
00:32:30,915 --> 00:32:32,644
Your father was Ktarian.
741
00:32:32,717 --> 00:32:34,241
So?
742
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:36,844
The Ktarians were officially
with the Federation,
743
00:32:36,921 --> 00:32:38,855
but they sympathized
with the Maquis.
744
00:32:38,923 --> 00:32:40,550
What are you talking about?
745
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:42,957
Who are you working for,
Chakotay or the Captain?
746
00:32:43,061 --> 00:32:44,585
Seven...
747
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:46,220
Tell them it's too late.
748
00:32:46,297 --> 00:32:47,264
Go!
749
00:32:58,343 --> 00:33:02,177
l picked up a power surge
coming from the Cargo Bay.
750
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,180
l detected the same thing.
751
00:33:04,215 --> 00:33:06,206
You think it's the
enhanced alcove?
752
00:33:06,284 --> 00:33:07,410
Could be.
753
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:08,645
Let's take a look.
754
00:33:10,688 --> 00:33:13,885
Are phasers standard
equipment on board now?
755
00:33:13,958 --> 00:33:16,222
Must be.
756
00:33:16,294 --> 00:33:18,888
The data buffer's
been activated.
757
00:33:18,963 --> 00:33:20,225
l wanted to make sure
758
00:33:20,298 --> 00:33:21,890
it wasn't malfunctioning.
759
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,399
Well, you should be careful.
760
00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:27,096
Somebody might think you were
trying to delete a few files.
761
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:30,174
Why would they think that?
762
00:33:30,274 --> 00:33:32,435
Some of those files
could contain
763
00:33:32,510 --> 00:33:33,943
sensitive information.
764
00:33:34,045 --> 00:33:36,479
lf that's true,
somebody might think
765
00:33:36,547 --> 00:33:39,038
you were trying to do
the same thing.
766
00:33:39,117 --> 00:33:41,210
That catapult out there- -
767
00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:44,254
it's a powerful piece
of technology.
768
00:33:44,322 --> 00:33:48,554
lf the Maquis ever had access
to something like it,
769
00:33:48,626 --> 00:33:51,094
they might
have been successful.
770
00:33:51,162 --> 00:33:54,325
And if we had, your mission
to the Delta Quadrant
771
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:56,731
never would have gotten
off the drawing board.
772
00:33:56,834 --> 00:33:58,563
What are you talking about?
773
00:33:58,669 --> 00:34:00,193
The mission you've been on
774
00:34:00,304 --> 00:34:01,931
for the last five years.
775
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,066
My only mission
is trying to get Voyager home.
776
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:06,700
Seven showed me
the sensor records.
777
00:34:06,811 --> 00:34:08,073
l saw the tractor beam.
778
00:34:08,146 --> 00:34:09,807
She showed me the same thing,
779
00:34:09,881 --> 00:34:11,974
but she implicated you
780
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:14,280
in some kind of Maquis plot.
781
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,423
Same evidence.
782
00:34:20,491 --> 00:34:23,221
Two different theories.
783
00:34:23,294 --> 00:34:25,888
lt all started
with those damn photonic fleas.
784
00:34:25,997 --> 00:34:28,431
She was downloading
Voyager's database...
785
00:34:28,499 --> 00:34:30,023
Bridge to Captain Janeway.
786
00:34:30,134 --> 00:34:31,226
Go ahead, Harry.
787
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:33,599
l just picked up
an unauthorized launch
788
00:34:33,704 --> 00:34:34,796
of the Delta Flyer.
789
00:34:34,906 --> 00:34:35,895
Seven's at the helm.
790
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:37,268
Set a pursuit course.
791
00:34:37,341 --> 00:34:38,433
Acknowledged.
792
00:34:38,543 --> 00:34:39,737
Chakotay to the Doctor.
793
00:34:39,811 --> 00:34:40,937
Sick Bay here.
794
00:34:41,012 --> 00:34:42,206
Get down to Cargo Bay 2.
795
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,941
Run a diagnostic
on Seven's alcove.
796
00:34:44,015 --> 00:34:45,073
On my way.
797
00:34:45,149 --> 00:34:46,548
l'm glad we got that settled.
798
00:34:46,617 --> 00:34:47,549
Likewise.
799
00:34:47,618 --> 00:34:48,778
Chakotay...
800
00:34:48,853 --> 00:34:51,447
let's keep this one
out of our logs, huh?
801
00:34:51,522 --> 00:34:52,648
Gladly.
802
00:35:09,540 --> 00:35:12,600
She's altering course,
heading for the catapult.
803
00:35:12,677 --> 00:35:13,871
Maintain pursuit.
804
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:15,207
Open a channel.
805
00:35:15,279 --> 00:35:16,644
No response.
806
00:35:16,714 --> 00:35:17,874
Try to beam her out.
807
00:35:17,982 --> 00:35:20,746
She's done something to
alter her bio- signature.
808
00:35:20,818 --> 00:35:21,876
l can't get a lock.
809
00:35:22,019 --> 00:35:24,214
Target her propulsion
and weapons.
810
00:35:24,288 --> 00:35:25,846
Fire.
811
00:35:32,296 --> 00:35:34,161
Our targeting scanners
are out of alignment.
812
00:35:34,232 --> 00:35:35,256
She must have done it
813
00:35:35,333 --> 00:35:36,459
before she took off.
814
00:35:36,534 --> 00:35:37,558
She's charging weapons.
815
00:35:37,668 --> 00:35:38,726
Keep trying.
816
00:35:38,836 --> 00:35:40,167
Doctor to Captain Janeway.
817
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:41,796
Report.
818
00:35:41,906 --> 00:35:44,773
Seven downloaded too much data
into her cortical implant.
819
00:35:44,842 --> 00:35:45,866
She's trying to make sense
820
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:47,706
of more information
than she can process.
821
00:35:47,778 --> 00:35:48,904
Understood.
822
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:51,210
Beam me onto the Delta Flyer.
823
00:35:51,282 --> 00:35:52,909
l'm going with you.
824
00:35:52,984 --> 00:35:54,952
No, l have a better chance
of getting through to her alone.
825
00:35:55,086 --> 00:35:57,782
This isn't part of
your mission, is it?
826
00:35:57,855 --> 00:35:59,379
ls it part of yours?
827
00:36:00,591 --> 00:36:01,819
Good luck.
828
00:36:01,893 --> 00:36:02,985
Energize.
829
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:10,899
Captain.
830
00:36:13,638 --> 00:36:16,607
You came here
hoping to stop me.
831
00:36:16,707 --> 00:36:17,799
You'll fail.
832
00:36:17,909 --> 00:36:19,035
Turn this ship around.
833
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:20,236
That's an order.
834
00:36:20,311 --> 00:36:22,370
Your orders are irrelevant.
835
00:36:22,446 --> 00:36:24,880
l'm no longer
under your command.
836
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:26,244
You deceived me.
837
00:36:26,317 --> 00:36:27,841
There is no conspiracy.
838
00:36:27,919 --> 00:36:29,887
There is no Maquis rebellion.
839
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:32,751
The Federation isn't
planning to invade
840
00:36:32,823 --> 00:36:34,120
the Delta Quadrant.
841
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:35,523
l realize that,
842
00:36:35,593 --> 00:36:38,323
because l finally uncovered
your true objective.
843
00:36:38,396 --> 00:36:39,658
And what's that?
844
00:36:40,698 --> 00:36:41,960
Me.
845
00:36:43,501 --> 00:36:44,559
Stardate 3261 1.
846
00:36:44,669 --> 00:36:46,899
The Federation
sends my parents
847
00:36:47,071 --> 00:36:48,299
to study the Borg collective.
848
00:36:48,406 --> 00:36:50,704
They know my family
will be assimilated.
849
00:36:50,775 --> 00:36:52,504
That was their intention.
850
00:36:52,577 --> 00:36:53,737
Stardate 48317.
851
00:36:53,811 --> 00:36:55,540
Voyager is sent
to the Delta Quadrant
852
00:36:55,613 --> 00:36:56,807
with orders to retrieve me.
853
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:58,439
When they reach Borg space,
854
00:36:58,516 --> 00:37:01,508
Captain Janeway negotiates
an alliance with the collective
855
00:37:01,619 --> 00:37:03,052
in exchange for information
856
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:04,952
regarding Species 8472.
857
00:37:05,022 --> 00:37:08,185
They agree to give her
Seven of Nine.
858
00:37:08,259 --> 00:37:10,727
Stardate 51030.
859
00:37:10,795 --> 00:37:13,025
Janeway extracts
the implants from my body
860
00:37:13,097 --> 00:37:16,692
to remove any knowledge l have
of her agreement with the Borg.
861
00:37:16,767 --> 00:37:18,234
Stardate 53329.
862
00:37:18,302 --> 00:37:21,100
Captain Janeway finalizes plans
to use the catapult
863
00:37:21,172 --> 00:37:23,663
to deliver Seven of Nine
to the Alpha Quadrant,
864
00:37:23,774 --> 00:37:26,538
where Starfleet will dissect
and analyze the drone
865
00:37:26,611 --> 00:37:28,875
to gather tactical data
to fight the Borg.
866
00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:30,880
l won't allow you
to complete your mission.
867
00:37:30,982 --> 00:37:34,509
lf necessary,
l'll destroy the catapult
868
00:37:34,585 --> 00:37:35,711
and myself.
869
00:37:38,990 --> 00:37:40,582
You're right, Seven.
870
00:37:40,658 --> 00:37:43,718
There is a conspiracy here,
871
00:37:43,794 --> 00:37:48,197
but l believe
it's a conspiracy of one.
872
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:51,861
l've got a theory of my own.
873
00:37:51,969 --> 00:37:53,334
Your modified alcove
874
00:37:53,404 --> 00:37:56,134
threw your synaptic
patterns into chaos,
875
00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:58,232
and your mind
can't make sense
876
00:37:58,342 --> 00:38:01,436
of all the information,
so you're generating
877
00:38:01,545 --> 00:38:02,637
theory after theory
878
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,807
in an attempt to bring
order to that chaos.
879
00:38:04,915 --> 00:38:06,041
Your reasoning is flawed.
880
00:38:06,117 --> 00:38:07,709
My alcove
is functioning perfectly.
881
00:38:07,785 --> 00:38:09,582
What about you?
882
00:38:09,654 --> 00:38:11,281
You're not a drone anymore.
883
00:38:11,355 --> 00:38:12,822
You can't always predict
884
00:38:12,923 --> 00:38:16,518
how Borg technology
will affect you.
885
00:38:16,594 --> 00:38:17,959
You should be in Sick Bay,
886
00:38:18,029 --> 00:38:20,122
not behind that force field.
887
00:38:20,197 --> 00:38:21,323
Let me help you.
888
00:38:21,399 --> 00:38:22,832
No.
889
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:24,628
l don't believe you.
890
00:38:24,735 --> 00:38:26,327
Of course you don't.
891
00:38:26,437 --> 00:38:29,873
Anything l say gets woven into
your paranoid conspiracies,
892
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:31,874
but you should believe me,
Seven,
893
00:38:31,976 --> 00:38:34,877
because l've never lied to you.
894
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:36,776
And l'm not lying to you now.
895
00:38:36,847 --> 00:38:40,374
You have to put
your doubts aside
896
00:38:40,451 --> 00:38:42,976
and trust me.
897
00:38:43,054 --> 00:38:47,491
Stardate 51030.
898
00:38:47,558 --> 00:38:50,356
Seven of Nine is severed
from the hive mind.
899
00:38:50,428 --> 00:38:52,896
The Captain tells
her not to resist,
900
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:54,225
that she'll learn
901
00:38:54,298 --> 00:38:55,856
to accept her humanity.
902
00:38:55,933 --> 00:38:58,493
Seven complies
903
00:38:58,602 --> 00:39:01,571
and slowly begins
to embrace her individuality.
904
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:06,200
Does she regret that decision?
905
00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:09,110
Stardate 51652.
906
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:12,809
The Captain encourages Seven
to develop her social skills.
907
00:39:12,917 --> 00:39:16,182
Seven insists
it's a waste of time,
908
00:39:16,253 --> 00:39:18,414
but after further requests,
she pursues it
909
00:39:18,489 --> 00:39:22,687
and begins to develop her
first human friendships.
910
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,196
Did Janeway lead her astray?
911
00:39:26,263 --> 00:39:29,824
Stardate 52840.
912
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:34,462
The Captain orders Seven
to study her parents' journals.
913
00:39:34,572 --> 00:39:36,472
Seven claims
they're irrelevant,
914
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:38,303
but eventually
she reads them
915
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:40,674
and rediscovers part
of her own past.
916
00:39:40,745 --> 00:39:44,772
Stardate 52841.
917
00:39:44,849 --> 00:39:48,580
For the first time,
918
00:39:48,652 --> 00:39:52,782
Seven tells the Captain...
''thank you.''
919
00:39:57,661 --> 00:40:02,325
lt was Stardate 52842...
920
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,461
0600 hours in the Mess Hall.
921
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:08,595
We had just finished breakfast.
922
00:40:08,706 --> 00:40:11,641
My mistake.
923
00:40:11,709 --> 00:40:13,939
Stardate today.
924
00:40:14,044 --> 00:40:17,775
Janeway beams aboard
the Delta Flyer.
925
00:40:17,848 --> 00:40:21,579
She reminds Seven of the bond
that's grown between them.
926
00:40:21,652 --> 00:40:24,177
Seven lowers the force field
927
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:26,951
and she decides to come home.
928
00:40:27,057 --> 00:40:30,652
All l'm asking
929
00:40:30,728 --> 00:40:33,322
is that you trust me again.
930
00:40:49,713 --> 00:40:51,977
Delta Flyer to Voyager.
931
00:40:52,049 --> 00:40:53,641
Two to beam out.
932
00:40:57,054 --> 00:40:58,646
Captain's Log, supplemental.
933
00:40:58,722 --> 00:41:01,691
After further testing,
we activated the catapult
934
00:41:01,792 --> 00:41:04,556
and were hurtled across
30 sectors of space.
935
00:41:04,595 --> 00:41:08,190
ln less than an hour, we cut
three years off our journey.
936
00:41:08,265 --> 00:41:09,857
l'm happy to say the Doctor
937
00:41:09,934 --> 00:41:12,198
has repaired Seven of Nine's
cortical processor,
938
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:13,770
and she's returned to duty.
939
00:41:13,838 --> 00:41:15,203
Guess who assimilated
940
00:41:15,272 --> 00:41:17,832
three books and ten
reports in two days?
941
00:41:17,942 --> 00:41:19,102
Naomi Wildman.
942
00:41:19,176 --> 00:41:21,940
That's correct.
943
00:41:22,046 --> 00:41:24,276
Are you taking your
new alcove apart?
944
00:41:24,348 --> 00:41:25,440
Yes.
945
00:41:25,516 --> 00:41:26,608
Why?
946
00:41:26,684 --> 00:41:27,946
My attempt
947
00:41:28,052 --> 00:41:30,247
to download
Voyager's database failed.
948
00:41:30,321 --> 00:41:31,788
Maybe you can fix it.
949
00:41:31,856 --> 00:41:37,954
The alcove functioned
within expected parameters.
950
00:41:38,062 --> 00:41:39,996
Unfortunately, l did not.
951
00:41:42,399 --> 00:41:44,959
Three books and ten reports
is impressive,
952
00:41:45,102 --> 00:41:47,696
but quantity is less
relevant than quality.
953
00:41:47,805 --> 00:41:50,171
You must be able
to interpret the data
954
00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:52,232
and enjoy the process.
955
00:41:53,711 --> 00:41:55,838
Regardless,
you require activities
956
00:41:55,913 --> 00:41:58,643
other than assimilating
books and reports.
957
00:41:58,716 --> 00:42:01,241
A game of Kadis- Kot,
for example.
958
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:02,649
When?
959
00:42:02,686 --> 00:42:05,120
Go to the Mess Hall
and set up the board.
960
00:42:05,189 --> 00:42:07,123
l'll join you when l'm finished.
961
00:42:12,596 --> 00:42:16,896
l heard the strangest
rumor today.
962
00:42:17,034 --> 00:42:19,525
Apparently, the Captain
and First Officer
963
00:42:19,637 --> 00:42:20,899
almost came to blows.
964
00:42:21,038 --> 00:42:22,596
Mutiny?
965
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:25,504
First Officer walked the plank.
966
00:42:25,576 --> 00:42:26,804
So l heard.
967
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:31,639
l don't believe a word of it.
968
00:42:31,715 --> 00:42:33,012
Me, neither.
969
00:42:36,053 --> 00:42:37,953
Seven was malfunctioning.
970
00:42:38,055 --> 00:42:40,046
We don't have that excuse.
971
00:42:40,124 --> 00:42:41,751
You're right.
972
00:42:41,825 --> 00:42:45,693
We've been through too much
to stop trusting each other.
973
00:42:49,667 --> 00:42:51,532
You didn't poison
the coffee, did you?
974
00:42:51,635 --> 00:42:54,001
Not any more than l usually do.
