GOOD DAY, VOYAGER,

00:00:04

AND WELCOME TO A BRIEFING WITH NEELIX.

00:00:08

IT'S A CATCHY TITLE, ISN'T IT?

00:00:10

I'LL BE COMING TO YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY

00:00:13

WITH NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST,

00:00:15

INTERVIEWS WITH OUR FASCINATING CREW MEMBERS,

00:00:17

MUSICAL PERFORMANCES,

00:00:19

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEW HOLODECK PROGRAMS

00:00:21

AND, OF COURSE, PREVIEWS OF UPCOMING MEALS--

00:00:25

EVERYTHING FROM HLAKA SOUP TO ZABEE NUTS.

00:00:29

A BRIEFING WITH NEELIX WILL HELP YOU STAY INFORMED

00:00:33

ABOUT SHIP'S ACTIVITIES,

00:00:35

UH, KEEP YOU ABREAST OF YOUR COLLEAGUES' ACCOMPLISHMENTS

00:00:37

AND BROADEN YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT A WEALTH OF SUBJECTS.

00:00:41

BUT MOST OF ALL, IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD,

00:00:45

BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE HERE WILL ALWAYS BE

00:00:48

THE MOST UPLIFTING, OPTIMISTIC VIEW

00:00:51

OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON OUR SHIP.

00:00:52

AFTER ALL, AS YOUR MORALE OFFICER

00:00:55

ISN'T IT MY JOB TO BRING A LITTLE JOY

00:00:57

INTO EVERYONE'S DAY, HMM?

00:01:00

CAPTAIN JANEWAY HAS AGREED TO APPEAR ON THE SHOW

00:01:03

WITH REGULAR UPDATES ABOUT THE SHIP'S PROGRESS,

00:01:06

AND COMMANDER CHAKOTAY WILL COMMEND OUTSTANDING CREW MEMBERS

00:01:09

SO, SNAP TO, AND KEEP THOSE BOOTS POLISHED TO A SHINE.

00:01:13

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT BE FEATURED

00:01:14

ON A BRIEFING WITH NEELIX.

00:01:18

READY, ENSIGN? Ensign: ALL SET, NEELIX.

00:01:20

IN JUST A MOMENT, AN AMAZING TALENT.

00:01:23

ENSIGN PABLO BAYTART WILL ASTOUND YOU

00:01:26

WITH HIS JUGGLING ABILITY.

00:01:28

HE'LL KEEP PADDS, HYPOSPRAYS, EVEN PHASERS IN THE AIR

00:01:31

FOR MINUTES AT A TIME.

00:01:32

I DON'T... BUT BEFORE THAT,

00:01:35

WHAT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL BETTER THAN A LITTLE ROMANCE?

00:01:39

AND WHAT LIEUTENANT IN A GOLD UNIFORM

00:01:43

WAS RECENTLY HUDDLED IN THE MESS HALL

00:01:45

WITH WHAT CREWMAN IN BLUE,

00:01:46

HAVING A VERY INTIMATE CONVERSATION

00:01:49

OVER A CARAFE OF SILMIC WINE?

00:01:52

WELL, I'D NEVER NAME NAMES, BUT YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

00:01:56

BEST WISHES TO A HANDSOME PAIR OF LOVEBIRDS.

00:01:58

AND NOW... ladies and gentlemen, Ensign Pablo Baytart.

00:02:05

WELL? WHAT DID YOU THINK?

00:02:08

I'M A DOCTOR, NOT A PERFORMER.

00:02:10

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SUCH NONSENSE.

00:02:11

I CAN SEE "HINTS FOR HEALTHFUL LIVING"

00:02:14

BECOMING A VERY POPULAR SEGMENT, DOCTOR.

00:02:16

I DON'T THINK SO.

00:02:17

YOU'D BE LIFTED TO

00:02:19

A WHOLE NEW LEVEL IN THE CREW'S EYES.

00:02:21

THEY'D HANG ON YOUR EVERY WORD.

00:02:24

YOU'D ENJOY A POPULARITY, A CELEBRITY

00:02:28

THAT YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN BEFORE.

00:02:31

I WOULD?

00:02:32

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER RIGHT AWAY.

00:02:35

JUST THINK ABOUT IT, OKAY?

00:02:44

AH! MR. KIM!

00:02:46

JUST THE PERSON I WANTED TO SEE.

00:02:47

SEE YOU LATER.

00:02:49

DID YOU WATCH

00:02:50

A BRIEFING WITH NEELIX THIS MORNING?

00:02:52

UH, YES. YES, I DID.

00:02:56

IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROGRAM YOU DISLIKED?

00:02:59

I'M NOT SURE I CARE FOR ALL THE FROSTING.

00:03:02

FROSTING? DECK FOUR.

00:03:05

RECIPES, MUSIC, JUGGLERS--

00:03:06

IT'S SORT OF LIKE A STEADY DIET OF DESSERT,

00:03:08

WHICH IS FINE, BUT PRETTY SOON,

00:03:11

YOU WANT SOME MEAT AND POTATOES.

00:03:13

YOU DO?

00:03:14

WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL

00:03:16

I WAS EDITOR OF THE ACADEMY NEWSPAPER FOR A YEAR.

00:03:18

I MONITORED SUBSPACE TRANSMISSIONS.

00:03:20

I GOT REPORTS ON SOME OF THE FIRST ACTIVITY

00:03:23

BY THE MAQUIS AGAINST THE CARDASSIANS.

00:03:25

I WROTE AN EDITORIAL ABOUT IT,

00:03:26

AND THE STUDENTS BECAME POLARIZED ON THE ISSUE.

00:03:29

THEY DEBATED THE PROS AND CONS

00:03:31

AND GAINED AN INSIGHT INTO THE ENTIRE HISTORY

00:03:34

OF THE POLITICAL REBELLION.

00:03:35

NOW, THAT'S THE POWER OF JOURNALISM.

00:03:38

WHAT DID YOUR PROFESSOR SAY WHEN YOU TOLD HIM

00:03:41

YOU WERE GOING TO PUBLISH THE EDITORIAL?

00:03:43

I DIDN'T TELL THEM.

00:03:44

IT'S THE JOB OF A JOURNALIST TO BE INDEPENDENT.

00:03:49

Woman: Bridge to Mr. Neelix.

00:03:51

You have an incoming transmission.

00:03:53

I'M HEADING FOR MY QUARTERS.

00:03:55

PUT IT THROUGH THERE.

00:03:56

Yes, sir.

00:04:02

Neelix, my friend, how are you?

00:04:04

LAXETH, YOU OLD DILITHIUM SCRUBBER!

00:04:06

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

00:04:08

CALLING TO TRADE ME

00:04:09

SOME OF YOUR ILL-GOTTEN GOODS AGAIN?

00:04:11

I PROMISE YOU I NEVER WANT TO SEE

00:04:13

ANOTHER WHEEL OF PENDRASHIAN CHEESE.

00:04:16

Oh, those days are behind me.

00:04:18

I'm legitimate now.

00:04:20

I'm Communications Master of a Talaxian convoy.

00:04:23

COMMUNICATIONS MASTER...

00:04:25

WELL, YOU'VE CERTAINLY COME UP IN THE WORLD.

00:04:27

CONGRATULATIONS.

00:04:28

Looks like I'll be seeing you in a few days.

00:04:30

HOW'S THAT? We've been asked to rendezvous with your ship.

00:04:34

We're going to pick up a passenger.

00:04:35

PASSENGER? WE DON'T CARRY ANY PASSENGERS.

00:04:39

Apparently, it's a member of your crew.

00:04:42

All I know is someone wants to leave your ship and come to work for us.

00:06:38

JUST HOW, EXACTLY, DID YOU HEAR

00:06:40

THAT SOMEONE WAS LEAVING THE SHIP?

00:06:44

AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE IS SERVING WITH A TALAXIAN CONVOY.

00:06:47

HE TOLD ME THEY'D BE RENDEZVOUSING WITH US

00:06:49

IN A FEW DAYS.

00:06:50

JANEWAY TO TUVOK. Yes, Captain?

00:06:52

COULD YOU JOIN US IN MY READY ROOM, PLEASE?

00:06:55

Right away.

00:07:02

LIEUTENANT, MR. NEELIX HAS HEARD ON GOOD AUTHORITY

00:07:06

THAT ONE OF OUR CREW WILL BE LEAVING THE SHIP

00:07:08

IN A FEW DAYS.

00:07:09

NATURALLY, HE'S CURIOUS

00:07:11

ABOUT THE IDENTITY OF THIS PERSON.

00:07:12

WHAT ARE THE SECURITY ISSUES HERE?

00:07:15

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY SERIOUS CONCERNS, CAPTAIN.

00:07:18

THERE IS NO NEED TO WITHHOLD THIS INFORMATION ANY LONGER.

00:07:23

LIEUTENANT PARIS...

00:07:25

HAS ASKED TO BE PUT OFF THE SHIP.

00:07:27

TOM? I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE

00:07:30

THAT HE'S HAD SOME PROBLEMS LATELY.

00:07:31

WELL, YES.

00:07:33

Tuvok: HE HAS BEEN DISRUPTIVE,

00:07:34

AND OFTEN SETS A BAD EXAMPLE FOR THE REST OF THE CREW.

00:07:37

BUT... HE SEEMED SO DETERMINED TO GET THOSE THINGS BEHIND HIM.

00:07:42

IT MEANS A LOT TO HIM TO BE RESPECTED BY THIS CREW.

00:07:45

ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT WHEN HE WAS RELIEVED OF DUTY,

00:07:48

HE ASKED ME TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR HIM TO LEAVE THE SHIP.

00:07:51

I TRIED TO TALK HIM OUT OF IT, BUT HE WAS ADAMANT.

00:07:53

WE DETECTED THE TALAXIAN CONVOY

00:07:56

AND THEY WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GET A PILOT OF TOM'S ABILITY.

00:07:59

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

00:08:01

I NEVER THOUGHT...

00:08:04

CAPTAIN, MAY I SPEAK WITH HIM?

00:08:06

OF COURSE.

00:08:07

HE'S IN HIS QUARTERS.

00:08:17

( door chimes )

00:08:18

COME IN.

00:08:24

HELLO, TOM.

00:08:25

NEELIX. HOW'S IT GOING?

00:08:33

NOT GOOD, IT LOOKS LIKE.

00:08:35

WHAT'S WRONG?

00:08:37

I HEAR YOU'RE LEAVING THE SHIP?

00:08:43

GOOD NEWS TRAVELS FAST, I GUESS.

00:08:45

YEAH, I FIGURED THERE WAS

00:08:48

QUITE A BIT MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVANCEMENT

00:08:50

ON A TALAXIAN CONVOY THAN THERE WAS

00:08:52

ON THE ONLY STARFLEET SHIP IN THE QUADRANT.

00:08:56

WHEN DID YOU MAKE THIS DECISION?

00:08:58

TRUTHFULLY? UH, ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF

00:09:02

AFTER I SET FOOT ON THIS SHIP A YEAR AGO.

00:09:04

I KNEW IT WAS A MISTAKE TO TRY TO FIT INTO STARFLEET AGAIN,

00:09:08

AND I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MYSELF.

00:09:10

A FEW MORE MONTHS IN THAT REHAB COLONY

00:09:12

WOULD HAVE BEEN A HELL OF A LOT BETTER

00:09:13

THAN BEING HERE.

00:09:14

TOM, YOU AND I HAVE HAD OUR DIFFERENCES

00:09:18

BUT I THOUGHT WE PUT THOSE BEHIND US. I...

00:09:22

I JUST HOPE I HAVEN'T... CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR DECISION.

00:09:27

NEELIX, NO.

00:09:30

THIS ISN'T ABOUT ANYBODY EXCEPT ME.

00:09:36

I'VE DONE THIS TO MYSELF JUST LIKE ALWAYS.

00:09:39

NO MATTER WHERE I GO OR WHO I'M WITH,

00:09:42

I MAKE A MESS OF THINGS.

00:09:45

THE UNMISTAKABLE CONCLUSION HAS TO BE THAT DEEP DOWN

00:09:48

I DON'T WANT ANY FRIENDS OR A FAMILY OR A HOME.

00:09:53

OTHERWISE, I WOULDN'T KEEP SABOTAGING

00:09:56

THE POSSIBILITIES.

00:09:57

I THOUGHT YOU FOUND THOSE THINGS HERE.

00:09:59

I TRIED, OR MAYBE

00:10:00

I JUST TOLD MYSELF I WAS TRYING.

00:10:02

I'M NOT SURE.

00:10:05

EITHER WAY, IT'S JUST NOT WORKING.

00:10:07

FRANKLY, I'D LIKE TO GET OUT BEFORE I COMPLETELY DESTROY

00:10:10

MY IMAGE.

00:10:11

THERE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE

00:10:12

WHO STILL HAVE A GOOD OPINION OF ME.

00:10:16

I'M ONE OF THEM, TOM...

00:10:20

AND I WISH YOU WOULDN'T GO.

00:10:23

WELL, I THANK YOU... BUT, THE TRUTH IS

00:10:27

I'VE ALWAYS CONSIDERED MYSELF A DRIFTER.

00:10:29

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE, NEELIX.

00:10:32

FREEDOM TO DO WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT.

00:10:35

NO RULES TO FOLLOW, NOBODY DEPENDING ON YOU, RIGHT?

00:10:54

Doctor: Well, there you are.

00:10:56

I've been waiting for what seems like hours.

00:10:59

DOCTOR, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

00:11:00

I want to discuss the details of my participation on your program.

00:11:04

I've been giving it a great deal of thought and I've come up with a number of ideas

00:11:07

I think you'll find quite intriguing.

00:11:09

WELL, THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

00:11:11

I'M DELIGHTED YOU'VE DECIDED TO BECOME A CONTRIBUTOR.

00:11:13

BUT I'M AFRAID I DON'T HAVE TIME TO DISCUSS IT RIGHT NOW.

00:11:16

But I've already prepared today's topic:

00:11:19

"How To Keep Your Nostrils Happy."

00:11:21

THAT IS FASCINATING.

00:11:22

BUT I'M AFRAID THERE'S A MORE IMPORTANT STORY

00:11:25

I HAVE TO WORK ON TODAY.

00:11:27

You mean... I'm not going to appear today?

00:11:30

WHEN YOU SEE IT, I'M SURE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.

00:11:34

Hmm. But I will be on tomorrow?

00:11:37

DEFINITELY. WITHOUT FAIL, I PROMISE YOU.

00:11:40

Very well, but tomorrow, I'll want to cover two topics.

00:11:43

I have a most entertaining idea.

00:11:45

"Uncovering the Hidden Mysteries of the Adrenal Gland."

00:11:49

FINE, FINE. GOODBYE, DOCTOR.

00:12:06

GOOD MORNING, VOYAGER.

00:12:09

I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT A FRIEND OF MINE.

00:12:13

I FIRST MET THIS MAN ALMOST A YEAR AGO

00:12:16

AND, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I DIDN'T LIKE HIM MUCH.

00:12:19

HE SEEMED A LITTLE TOO COCKY, A LITTLE TOO SURE OF HIMSELF.

00:12:24

A lot of people had questions about him.

00:12:28

He'd proven he'd pretty much sell himself out to the highest bidder, go wherever the wind blew him.

00:12:33

So people wondered, could you trust this person when things got tough?

00:12:37

Would he stand side by side with you, or would he let you down when you needed him most?

00:12:43

But the fact of the matter is he proved himself right from the beginning.

00:12:51

I wouldn't be alive right now if it weren't for him.

00:12:55

And the same goes for many of you.

00:12:57

It took me a while to realize it.

00:13:00

Like a lot of people, I was too caught up in first impressions to see the truth that was right in front of me.

00:13:07

I overlooked his bravery because I was focusing on his brashness.

00:13:12

I ignored his courage because I saw it as arrogance and I resented his friendliness because I mistook it for licentiousness.

00:13:23

So while this man was giving us his best every minute of every day,

00:13:28

I was busy judging him.

00:13:30

AND NOW, HE'S LEAVING.

00:13:32

I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT IN SPITE OF MY NARROW-MINDEDNESS

00:13:35

THOMAS EUGENE PARIS BECAME MY FRIEND.

00:13:39

I'M GOING TO MISS HIM.

00:13:41

NO MORE LAUGHS OVER A GAME OF POOL.

00:13:44

NO MORE SITTING UP INTO THE WEE HOURS

00:13:46

SWAPPING STORIES.

00:13:48

NO MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY COOKING.

00:13:50

( chuckling )

00:13:53

GOODBYE, TOM.

00:13:54

I THINK I SPEAK FOR MORE OF US

00:13:56

THAN YOU MIGHT IMAGINE WHEN I SAY

00:13:57

YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE AN EMPTY SPACE WHEN YOU GO.

00:14:00

I HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

00:14:23

OPERATIONS HAS DETECTED A MINUTE INCREASE

00:14:25

IN THE ENGINE CORE TEMPERATURE. ARE YOU AWARE OF IT?

00:14:28

YES, CAPTAIN. THERE'S A SLIGHT IMBALANCE

00:14:30

IN THE MAGNETIC CONSTRICTORS.

00:14:32

IT'S CAUSING THE PLASMA STREAM TO OVERHEAT.

00:14:34

I HAVE A TEAM WORKING ON IT.

00:14:35

KEEP ME POSTED.

00:14:37

MR. NEELIX, I'M VERY PLEASED WITH YOUR PROGRAM

00:14:40

ESPECIALLY YOUR TRIBUTE TO LIEUTENANT PARIS.

00:14:43

THANK YOU.

00:14:45

CAPTAIN, HAVE YOU DECIDED WHO'S GOING TO REPLACE PARIS?

00:14:47

I HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE IN MIND.

00:14:49

BAYTART IS ONE. HAMILTON.

00:14:51

CAPTAIN, DO YOU THINK..?

00:14:54

I MEAN, IT'S POSSIBLE TOM MIGHT CHANGE HIS MIND, TO COME BACK.

00:14:58

MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T REPLACE HIM SO QUICKLY.

00:15:01

HARRY, LIEUTENANT PARIS MADE HIS DECISION

00:15:04

WITH NO INDICATION THAT HE HAD ANY DOUBTS ABOUT IT

00:15:07

OR THAT HE MIGHT CHANGE HIS MIND IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

00:15:10

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT AND MOVE ON.

00:15:12

WHAT'S OUR TACTICAL STATUS?

00:15:15

ALL SYSTEMS ARE FUNCTIONAL.

00:15:16

Jonas: Engineering to Torres.

00:15:18

GO AHEAD.

00:15:19

We have a problem here.

00:15:20

WHAT IS IT?

00:15:22

THE MAGNETIC CONSTRICTORS HAVE LOST ALIGNMENT.

00:15:24

THE PLASMA STREAM IS WAY TOO HOT.

00:15:27

IT'S STARTING TO INFECT THE INJECTOR VALVES.

00:15:29

I'M ON MY WAY.

00:15:31

WE'RE FINISHED HERE. DISMISSED.

00:15:32

LIEUTENANT, IF I MAY...

00:15:35

THIS SOUNDS LIKE NEWS OF SUBSTANCE TO ME.

00:15:40

JUST STAY OUT OF OUR WAY.

00:15:46

IT'S GOTTEN WORSE.

00:15:47

I CAN'T GET THE INJECTOR VALVES CLOSED.

00:15:49

ANTIMATTER IS STARTING TO SEEP INTO THE WARP CORE.

00:15:51

HAVE YOU TRIED ADJUSTING THE POWER TRANSFER CONDUITS?

00:15:54

YES. NO EFFECT.

00:15:55

WE HAVE TO TRY TO CONTAIN THE REACTION IN THE CORE.

00:15:57

DON'T LET THE P.T.C. TEMPERATURE GET ABOVE 3.2. MILLION KELVINS.

00:16:01

IT'S AT 2.9 MILLION NOW.

00:16:03

( high-pitched whine )

00:16:08

P.T.C. TEMPERATURE NOW AT THREE MILLION KELVINS.

00:16:11

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO VENT SOME PLASMA.

00:16:12

IF YOU VENT PLASMA THAT HOT THROUGH THE NACELLES

00:16:15

THE WARP COILS ARE GOING TO FRY.

00:16:17

BETTER THAT THAN A CORE BREACH.

00:16:20

REINFORCE THE STRUCTURAL FIELD

00:16:22

AROUND THE POWER TRANSFER CONDUITS,

00:16:24

AND THEN PREPARE TO BEGIN VENTING PLASMA.

00:16:27

P.T.C. TEMPERATURE NOW 3.2 MILLION KELVINS!

00:16:30

IT'S CASCADING.

00:16:32

GET AWAY FROM THAT CONSOLE.

00:16:33

I CAN STOP IT FROM HERE.

00:16:35

GET AWAY, JONAS!

00:16:36

( Jonas groaning )

00:16:38

COMPUTER, INITIATE PLASMA VENTING.

00:16:44

ARE WE ALL RIGHT?

00:16:47

P.T.C. TEMPERATURE IS DROPPING.

00:16:49

APPROACHING SAFE LEVELS.

00:16:51

WE'RE UNDER CONTROL.

00:16:53

NEELIX TO SICK BAY.

00:16:54

PREPARE FOR EMERGENCY TRANSPORT.

00:16:55

WE HAVE THREE WOUNDED.

00:16:59

THIS ONE'S NOT BADLY HURT.

00:17:01

20 MILLIGRAMS IMPEDRAZINE.

00:17:04

VITAL SIGNS STEADY.

00:17:05

SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO FACE AND CHEST.

00:17:08

TREAT HIM WITH THE DERMAL REGENERATOR.

00:17:11

THE SITUATION HAS BEEN STABILIZED.

00:17:13

NONE OF THE VICTIMS IS IN DANGER ANY LONGER.

00:17:16

MAY I INTERVIEW ONE OF THEM NOW?

00:17:18

ONE OF THE PATIENTS?

00:17:20

I'D THINK YOU'D BE MORE INTERESTED

00:17:21

IN MY ASSESSMENT OF THE MEDICAL SITUATION.

00:17:23

WELL, I AM, OF COURSE.

00:17:25

WOULD YOU CARE TO MAKE A STATEMENT?

00:17:26

YES.

00:17:28

THE FIRST TASK IS TO TRIAGE

00:17:30

OR TO ASSESS THE RELATIVE CONDITION

00:17:32

OF EACH OF THE VICTIMS,

00:17:34

AND THEN TO PRIORITIZE TREATMENT ACCORDINGLY.

00:17:36

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

00:17:38

I'M SURE THAT WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO THE CREW.

00:17:40

I WASN'T FINISHED.

00:17:42

NEXT, THE TREATMENT, PER SE, MUST BE SUPERVISED.

00:17:44

VERY INTERESTING.

00:17:45

NOW, I KNOW THE CREW WOULD LOVE TO HEAR A FEW WORDS

00:17:49

FROM THE MAN WHO RISKED HIS LIFE

00:17:51

TO SAVE THE SHIP.

00:17:52

WOULD YOU CONSENT TO AN INTERVIEW?

00:17:53

I WAS JUST DOING MY JOB, NEELIX.

00:17:55

LIEUTENANT TORRES IS THE ONE YOU SHOULD TALK TO.

00:17:58

Janeway to Neelix.

00:17:59

RIGHT HERE, CAPTAIN.

00:18:01

Could you join us on the bridge, please?

00:18:03

I'M ON MY WAY.

00:18:05

I'LL CONTACT YOU LATER ABOUT THE INTERVIEW.

00:18:12

THE PLASMA BURST IRRADIATED THE ENGINE NACELLES.

00:18:14

THE INNER LAYER OF THE WARP COILS WAS BURNED AWAY.

00:18:17

WHICH MEANS THE WARP ENGINES ARE USELESS

00:18:19

UNTIL WE CAN REBUILD THEM.

00:18:20

THEY'RE MADE FROM A SUBSTANCE

00:18:22

KNOWN AS VERTERIUM CORTENIDE.

00:18:23

DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE CAN FIND A SOURCE?

00:18:25

VERTERIUM CORTENIDE. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN

00:18:27

THAT'S A DENSIFIED COMPOSITE MATERIAL.

00:18:30

THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S COMPOSED OF POLYSILICATE VERTERIUM

00:18:32

AND MONOCRYSTAL CORTENUM.

00:18:34

DO YOU KNOW OF ANY NEARBY SOURCE?

00:18:35

LET'S SEE.

00:18:38

THERE'S A YELLOW DWARF SYSTEM CALLED HEMIKEK

00:18:42

WITH AN M-CLASS PLANET QUITE RICH IN MINERALS.

00:18:45

MINING RIGHTS BELONG

00:18:47

TO A CONSORTIUM OF NONAGGRESSIVE PEOPLE.

00:18:49

I'M SURE WE COULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS

00:18:51

TO PURCHASE SOME VERTERIUM AND CORTENUM.

00:18:53

GOOD WORK, NEELIX.

00:18:55

CAPTAIN, MESSAGE COMING IN FROM THE TALAXIAN CONVOY.

00:18:58

PUT IN ON SCREEN.

00:19:02

Laxeth: Captain Janeway... WHAT'S HAPPENED?

00:19:03

We were attacked by the Kazon-Nistrim.

00:19:05

DO YOU HAVE CASUALTIES? HOW CAN WE HELP?

00:19:08

We have no serious casualties, and they didn't take any of our cargo.

00:19:11

The one thing they were interested in was your former crewman, Thomas Paris.

00:19:16

They took him aboard their ship and then left.

00:19:18

I thought you'd want to know.

00:19:42

TOM PARIS...

00:19:44

HELLO, SESKA.

00:19:47

YOU'RE LOOKING RADIANTLY MATERNAL.

00:19:49

IN ANOTHER MONTH, CHAKOTAY WILL HAVE A SON...

00:19:53

OR A DAUGHTER.

00:19:55

I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW WHICH.

00:19:57

MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING, DON'T YOU THINK?

00:20:00

I WOULDN'T KNOW.

00:20:02

I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH ONE CHAKOTAY WOULD PREFER.

00:20:06

HE AND I RARELY SEE EYE TO EYE.

00:20:09

YOU'VE HAD YOUR PROBLEMS WITH HIM LATELY TOO.

00:20:12

I KNOW ALL ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED.

00:20:14

YOUR SUDDEN INABILITY TO BE STARFLEET'S GOOD BOY.

00:20:17

IT'S NOT SUDDEN.

00:20:19

I NEVER REALLY FIT IN THERE.

00:20:22

THEN "LIEUTENANT TOM PARIS" WAS JUST A PRETENSE.

00:20:25

NO.

00:20:27

NO, IT WAS ME TRYING VERY HARD

00:20:29

TO BE SOMEONE I FINALLY COULDN'T BE.

00:20:32

I NEVER LIKED YOU, TOM.

00:20:36

I DIDN'T TRUST YOU.

00:20:39

I DON'T TRUST YOU NOW.

00:20:41

I CAN ASSURE YOU THE FEELING IS MUTUAL.

00:20:44

FINE.

00:20:46

BUT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP EACH OTHER...

00:20:49

IF YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.

00:20:51

IS THAT WHY YOU KIDNAPPED ME AND DRAGGED ME HERE

00:20:54

SO WE CAN BE PALS NOW?

00:20:56

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO YOU.

00:20:58

AND IF IT DOESN'T?

00:20:59

THE KAZON TEND TO BE EXCESSIVE

00:21:02

IN THEIR USE OF FORCE.

00:21:04

IT'S NOTHING I CAN CHANGE.

00:21:06

BUT I CAN PROMISE

00:21:07

YOU'LL BE WELL-TREATED ON THIS SHIP

00:21:09

IF WE DECIDE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER.

00:21:12

WHAT EXACTLY WOULD THAT MEAN?

00:21:14

YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT PILOT.

00:21:15

WE COULD MAKE GOOD USE OF YOUR SKILLS

00:21:18

AND, OF COURSE, YOU HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT VOYAGER

00:21:21

THAT COULD BE QUITE VALUABLE.

00:21:23

IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY GETTING

00:21:26

A LOT OF VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT VOYAGER FROM SOMEWHERE.

00:21:32

THINK ABOUT IT, TOM.

00:21:35

THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

00:21:38

WHEN THE NISTRIM SEIZE VOYAGER

00:21:40

AND START TAKING CONTROL OF THE QUADRANT

00:21:42

SECTOR BY SECTOR.

00:21:46

JUST LET ME KNOW.

00:22:24

CAPTAIN'S LOG, STARDATE 49485.2.

00:22:29

IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT TOM PARIS

00:22:31

HAS BEEN ABDUCTED BY THE KAZON,

00:22:32

WE MUST CONTINUE ON COURSE FOR THE HEMIKEK SYSTEM.

00:22:35

SOMETHING JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

00:22:37

I MEAN, HE WASN'T OFF THE SHIP FOR A DAY WHEN THE KAZON

00:22:39

ATTACKED THAT CONVOY.

00:22:41

HOW DID THEY FIND OUT SO FAST THAT TOM WAS THERE?

00:22:43

MAYBE SOMEONE ON THE CONVOY TOLD THEM?

00:22:45

A TALAXIAN CONVOY

00:22:46

WOULD NEVER LET THE KAZON KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

00:22:48

THAT WOULD BE LIKE COMMITTING SUICIDE.

00:22:50

MAYBE THEY CAME TO ROB THE CARGO

00:22:52

BUT WHEN THEY REALIZED THERE WAS A STARFLEET OFFICER...

00:22:56

THAT WOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED THEM FROM TAKING THE CARGO TOO.

00:22:58

AND ACCORDING TO MY FRIEND, LAXETH,

00:23:00

IT WAS A SWIFT, EFFICIENT STRIKE.

00:23:03

IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY KNEW TOM WAS THERE

00:23:06

AND THEY CAME JUST TO GET HIM.

00:23:09

BUT WHO WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM?

00:23:10

ONE POSSIBILITY I CAN THINK OF

00:23:13

IS THAT IT WAS SOMEONE ON THIS SHIP.

00:23:16

ON VOYAGER?

00:23:17

WHO WOULD DO THAT?

00:23:18

I DON'T KNOW...

00:23:21

BUT A RESPONSIBLE JOURNALIST WOULD FIND OUT.

00:23:31

B'ELANNA, I DIDN'T EXPECT TO FIND YOU HERE.

00:23:34

ARE YOU WORKING THE NIGHT SHIFT?

00:23:36

I HAVE BEEN SINCE THE ACCIDENT.

00:23:38

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

00:23:40

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD SHOW ME

00:23:42

HOW TO ACCESS THE SUBSPACE COMMUNICATIONS LOGS?

00:23:46

WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THE COM LOGS?

00:23:47

WELL, JUST PART OF MY NEWS PROGRAM.

00:23:50

WELL I CAN GET YOU INTO THEM, BUT THEN YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

00:23:52

I'M STILL TRYING TO BRING THE MAGNETIC CONSTRICTORS INTO ALIGNMENT.

00:23:55

I UNDERSTAND. JUST GET ME STARTED.

00:24:03

HOW FAR BACK DO YOU WANT TO GO?

00:24:05

OH, MAYBE A MONTH OR TWO.

00:24:09

OKAY, THE FILE'S OPEN.

00:24:10

TRANSMISSIONS ARE LOGGED BY DATE AND TIME.

00:24:12

ANYTHING ELSE?

00:24:13

NO, I'LL BE FINE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

00:24:15

MIKE, WE'RE GOING INTO THE COMPUTER CORE

00:24:18

TO LOOK OVER THE CONSTRICTOR CIRCUITRY.

00:24:20

HOLD DOWN THE FORT, ALL RIGHT?

00:24:22

OKAY, LIEUTENANT.

00:24:27

VOYAGER TO MITHREN.

00:24:30

MITHREN AGAIN.

00:24:33

VOYAGER TO KOTATI...

00:24:36

WERE YOU LOOKING FOR SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR?

00:24:39

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

00:24:42

SOMETHING ANOMALOUS.

00:24:44

WHY?

00:24:45

AN INCIDENT I'M INVESTIGATING.

00:24:49

TELL ME, MR. HERO,

00:24:51

IF SOMEONE WANTED TO MAKE A SECRET SUBSPACE TRANSMISSION,

00:24:55

HOW WOULD HE DO IT?

00:24:56

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT?

00:24:59

I CAN'T BE TOO FORTHCOMING RIGHT NOW,

00:25:02

BUT IF I FIND WHAT I THINK I'M GOING TO,

00:25:05

WELL, LET ME JUST SAY THAT THIS SHIP

00:25:08

WILL BE STUNNED.

00:25:10

A SECRET TRANSMISSION, HUH?

00:25:12

WELL, THAT WOULD BE TOUGH, NEELIX.

00:25:14

THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF SECURITY ROUTINES IN PLACE,

00:25:16

AND ANY TIME A SUBSPACE ANTENNA ARRAY IS IN USE,

00:25:20

THE SENSORS MAKE A RECORD OF IT.

00:25:22

I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING ANOMALOUS HERE.

00:25:25

WHAT ABOUT THAT?

00:25:27

WHAT? THAT... GAP.

00:25:29

AS IF SOME OF THE LOG ENTRIES

00:25:31

HAVE BEEN DELETED.

00:25:33

WELL THAT'S JUST A DATA FRAGMENTATION.

00:25:34

I BEG YOUR PARDON? IT PROBABLY HAPPENED

00:25:36

WHEN THE PLASMA OVERLOADED THE SYSTEM.

00:25:38

LITTLE GLITCHES LIKE THIS WILL BE POPPING UP FOR WEEKS, I'D IMAGINE.

00:25:41

HERE IT IS AGAIN.

00:25:43

I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

00:25:44

MAYBE LIEUTENANT TORRES CAN EXPLAIN IT.

00:25:47

THERE'S NOTHING TO EXPLAIN.

00:25:49

BELIEVE ME, NEELIX, YOU'RE MAKING TOO MUCH OF IT.

00:25:53

Neelix: AH, HERE IT IS AGAIN.

00:25:56

GAPS IN THE LOG ENTRIES.

00:25:57

AND FRANKLY, IT LOOKS LIKE MORE THAN DATA FRAGMENTATION TO ME.

00:26:04

THE GAPS ARE SHOWING UP IN LOGS

00:26:07

ENTERED OVER THE LAST MONTH,

00:26:10

BUT NOT BEFORE THAT.

00:26:12

Doctor: So there you are!

00:26:13

I've been looking for you, Mr. Neelix.

00:26:15

DOCTOR, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

00:26:17

You again neglected to include me in your news program.

00:26:20

If you remember, I was to have two segments today because I was excluded yesterday.

00:26:24

THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.

00:26:26

I'VE BEEN SO PREOCCUPIED WITH THIS OTHER MATTER.

00:26:28

In the interest of time,

00:26:29

I'm willing to forego my story on the adrenal gland.

00:26:32

I will concentrate instead on my latest idea

00:26:34

"The Klingon Glottis: Friend or Foe?"

00:26:37

THAT'S VERY INTERESTING,

00:26:39

BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW.

00:26:41

That's what you said yesterday.

00:26:42

I'M SORRY, DOCTOR, BUT I REALLY HAVE TO GO NOW.

00:26:55

Neelix: ALL THROUGH

00:26:57

THE SUBSPACE COMMUNICATION LOGS, THERE WERE THESE GAPS,

00:27:00

AS THOUGH SOMETHING HAD BEEN ERASED.

00:27:02

WE HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED

00:27:04

A PLASMA OVERLOAD.

00:27:05

THAT COULD EASILY ACCOUNT

00:27:07

FOR THE ANOMALOUS READINGS IN THE LOGS.

00:27:08

AHA! I KNEW YOU'D SAY THAT.

00:27:11

ANSWER THIS, MR. VULCAN:

00:27:13

WHY WOULD THOSE GAPS, THOSE DELETIONS

00:27:15

OCCUR ONLY IN THE SUB COM LOGS

00:27:18

AND ONLY IN THE LAST MONTH?

00:27:20

I CHECKED EVERY LOG SYSTEM WE HAVE--

00:27:22

SENSOR LOGS, POWER ALLOCATION LOGS,

00:27:24

WARP MAINTENANCE LOGS, ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL LOGS.

00:27:27

THEY'RE ALL PERFECTLY FINE.

00:27:32

WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING?

00:27:33

I BELIEVE SOMEONE ON THE SHIP

00:27:36

HAS BEEN MAKING COVERT TRANSMISSIONS

00:27:38

AND ERASING THE EVIDENCE.

00:27:41

TO WHAT END?

00:27:42

I DON'T KNOW,

00:27:44

BUT I SUSPECT WHOEVER IT WAS

00:27:46

HAS BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE KAZON.

00:27:48

THAT'S AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS CHARGE.

00:27:51

I KNOW.

00:27:52

THAT'S WHY I'VE COME TO YOU.

00:27:57

MR. NEELIX, I STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT YOUR ENTHUSIASM

00:28:01

FOR YOUR NEW JOURNALISTIC ENDEAVOR

00:28:03

IS LEADING YOU TO SEE VILLAINS

00:28:04

WHERE NONE EXIST.

00:28:06

HOWEVER, EVEN THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOMEONE

00:28:09

ON BOARD MIGHT SECRETLY BE COMMUNICATING WITH THE KAZON

00:28:12

DESERVES INVESTIGATION.

00:28:14

I WILL PURSUE THE MATTER.

00:28:16

AND I WILL HELP YOU. I THINK NOT.

00:28:18

THIS IS NOW A MATTER OF SHIP SECURITY.

00:28:20

I MUST ASK YOU TO WITHDRAW AND LET ME HANDLE IT

00:28:23

ACCORDING TO STARFLEET PROTOCOLS.

00:28:25

AS A JOURNALIST, I HAVE AN ETHICAL OBLIGATION

00:28:28

TO KEEP DIGGING FOR THE FACTS IN THIS CASE.

00:28:31

AND I HAVE THE HIGHER OBLIGATION

00:28:33

TO KEEP YOU FROM PUTTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK.

00:28:36

YOU WILL DROP THIS MATTER.

00:28:41

I SEE.

00:28:44

ALL RIGHT. I LEAVE IT IN YOUR HANDS.

00:28:50

GOOD HUNTING.

00:28:54

"A HIGHER OBLIGATION"?

00:28:55

HA. I'LL SHOW HIM HIGHER OBLIGATION.

00:28:58

HE'LL HAVE ESKARIAN EGG ON HIS FACE

00:29:01

WHEN I GET TO THE HEART OF THIS.

00:29:03

IT'S THE JOB OF A JOURNALIST TO BE INDEPENDENT.

00:29:08

LIEUTENANT, I WONDER IF YOU COULD...

00:29:10

I'M A LITTLE BUSY RIGHT NOW, NEELIX.

00:29:12

WHAT DO YOU NEED? I WAS WONDERING

00:29:14

IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO LOOK UNDERNEATH A LOG

00:29:17

THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN ERASED,

00:29:19

SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING LEFT OF IT.

00:29:22

MR. HOGAN, COULD YOU PLEASE HELP NEELIX OUT FOR A MINUTE?

00:29:25

YOU WANT TO RECOVER DELETED LOGS?

00:29:28

UH, THAT WOULD BE IDEAL.

00:29:30

WELL, LET ME GIVE IT A TRY.

00:29:32

USUALLY IT'S POSSIBLE TO RECOVER DATA

00:29:34

UNLESS EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES

00:29:35

WERE TAKEN TO ERASE IT.

00:29:40

WELL, THIS IS STRANGE.

00:29:42

COMPUTER, RUN A SIGNAL MODULATION ANALYSIS OF THIS FILE.

00:29:46

Security authorization required.

00:29:48

ENGINEERING AUTHORIZATION OMEGA FOUR-SEVEN.

00:29:51

Authorization accepted.

00:29:53

Running analysis.

00:29:57

WHAT?

00:29:58

I... CAN'T RECOVER THE LOGS,

00:30:00

BECAUSE THESE MESSAGES WERE SENT

00:30:02

WITHOUT USING ANY OF THE ANTENNA ARRAYS.

00:30:05

HOW COULD SOMEONE DO THAT?

00:30:07

BY SENDING THE TRANSMISSIONS

00:30:08

THROUGH THE SHIP'S POWER GRID.

00:30:10

THE MESSAGES WERE ENCODED

00:30:12

IN THE WASTE ENERGY FROM THE PROPULSION SYSTEMS,

00:30:14

WHICH IS ALMOST INDISTINGUISHABLE

00:30:16

FROM GALACTIC BACKGROUND NOISE.

00:30:18

INGENIOUS.

00:30:21

WOULD THERE BE A WAY

00:30:23

TO DETERMINE WHO SENT THE MESSAGES?

00:30:25

I'M LOOKING FOR SIGNAL CORRELATION TRACES.

00:30:29

THEY'D INDICATE A COM LINK TO THE E.P.S. CONDUITS--

00:30:31

MAYBE GIVE US A LOCATION.

00:30:34

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN...

00:30:37

THERE.

00:30:38

THERE'S ONE.

00:30:41

THE SOURCE OF THE COM LINK

00:30:43

IS ON DECK FOUR, SECTION THREE-C.

00:30:47

SORRY, BUT I CAN'T GET MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT.

00:30:49

MR. HOGAN, I NEED YOUR HELP OVER HERE.

00:30:52

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

00:30:53

I'LL CHECK OUT DECK FOUR.

00:30:54

GO ROOM BY ROOM, CONSOLE BY CONSOLE.

00:30:57

I'D LOOK FOR EVIDENCE OF RECENT DELETIONS.

00:31:00

IF YOU SEE ANY, RUN A RECOVERY PROGRAM.

00:31:03

SEE WHAT YOU GET.

00:31:23

COMPUTER, ACTIVATE MONITOR.

00:31:26

Unable to comply.

00:31:28

Monitor is cleared for Lieutenant Thomas Paris only.

00:31:31

OVERRIDE EXISTING CLEARANCE.

00:31:33

ENGINEERING AUTHORIZATION OMEGA FOUR-SEVEN.

00:31:36

Authorization accepted.

00:31:39

Files recovered.

00:31:53

UNBELIEVABLE.

00:31:57

MY FRIENDS, I DERIVE NO SATISFACTION

00:32:00

FROM WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU.

00:32:02

I KNOW I ORIGINALLY PROMISED YOU

00:32:05

THAT I WOULD ONLY BRING YOU GOOD NEWS.

00:32:07

HOWEVER, I FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.

00:32:12

I HAVE UNCOVERED EVIDENCE THAT CASTS SERIOUS DOUBT

00:32:16

ON THE LOYALTIES OF LIEUTENANT THOMAS PARIS.

00:32:19

I have discovered secret communications to the Kazon that were sent from his quarters just prior to his leaving the ship.

00:32:25

GET HIM UP HERE... NOW.

00:32:27

There was a series of messages sent to the Kazon for some weeks before his departure...

00:32:35

HOW DID YOU TRACE THOSE TRANSMISSIONS TO TOM'S QUARTERS?

00:32:39

IT WAS, UH...

00:32:41

I BELIEVE IT WAS CALLED SIGNAL CORRELATION TRACES.

00:32:44

MR. HOGAN WAS HELPING ME AND HE DETECTED THEM.

00:32:47

WHEN I LOOKED FOR SIGNAL CORRELATION TRACES

00:32:50

THERE WERE NONE.

00:32:51

THAT MEANS SOMEONE PLACED THEM IN THE SYSTEM

00:32:53

AFTER MY INITIAL INVESTIGATION.

00:32:55

WHAT INITIAL INVESTIGATION?

00:32:57

CAPTAIN, WHAT'S GOING ON?

00:33:01

( sighing )

00:33:03

WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY WILL COME AS A SURPRISE TO YOU, COMMANDER.

00:33:07

THERE HAS BEEN A SPY ABOARD VOYAGER

00:33:11

BUT IT ISN'T TOM PARIS.

00:33:12

IT ISN'T?

00:33:14

NO. LIEUTENANT PARIS IS, IN FACT, PART OF OUR PLAN.

00:33:18

PLAN?

00:33:19

SOME WEEKS AGO, TUVOK DISCOVERED EVIDENCE

00:33:21

OF COVERT TRANSMISSIONS

00:33:23

LEAVING VOYAGER THROUGH THE E.P.S. SYSTEM.

00:33:26

WE REALIZED THERE WAS SOMEONE ON THIS SHIP

00:33:27

COMMUNICATING WITH THE KAZON-NISTRIM.

00:33:30

Tuvok: HOWEVER, WE WERE UNABLE TO ASCERTAIN WHO THAT PERSON WAS.

00:33:33

WE NEEDED A WAY TO FLUSH OUT THE SPY

00:33:35

AND WE HAD EXHAUSTED ALL CONVENTIONAL MEANS.

00:33:37

THAT'S WHEN WE THOUGHT OF USING TOM

00:33:40

FINDING A WAY TO GET HIM ON THE KAZON SHIP.

00:33:43

ARE YOU SAYING PARIS' INSULTING BEHAVIOR

00:33:45

THE GAMBLING, BEING LATE FOR DUTY

00:33:47

MOUTHING OFF AT ME, WAS ALL A RUSE?

00:33:51

THAT IS CORRECT.

00:33:52

IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT HIS DECISION TO LEAVE THE SHIP

00:33:54

APPEAR PLAUSIBLE, SO HE BEGAN BEHAVING LIKE A MALCONTENT.

00:33:58

AND THE REASON I WASN'T LET IN ON THIS LITTLE PLAN?

00:34:00

I WAS THE ONE WHO RECOMMENDED

00:34:02

TO CAPTAIN JANEWAY THAT YOU NOT BE TOLD.

00:34:05

I SUSPECTED THAT THE SPY WAS A MAQUIS

00:34:07

AND FELT IT WAS WRONG TO PUT YOU IN A POSITION

00:34:09

OF SETTING A TRAP FOR SOMEONE WHO HAD ONCE SERVED UNDER YOU.

00:34:13

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU DIDN'T TRUST ME.

00:34:14

COMMANDER, THE SIMPLE FACT IS

00:34:17

WE NEEDED A GOOD PERFORMANCE.

00:34:20

I'M AFRAID WE USED YOU TO HELP TOM PROVIDE IT

00:34:23

AND YOU DID A DAMN GOOD JOB.

00:34:28

NOW, IT SEEMS MR. NEELIX'S INVESTIGATION

00:34:31

HAS MADE SOMEONE NERVOUS--

00:34:32

NERVOUS ENOUGH TO PUT A TRAIL

00:34:34

IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR HIM TO FOLLOW.

00:34:37

COULD IT BE HOGAN?

00:34:38

I DON'T THINK SO.

00:34:40

HE WAS JUST THE PERSON WALKING BY

00:34:43

WHO LIEUTENANT TORRES ASKED TO HELP ME.

00:34:46

THE SPY MAY BE A LITTLE COZY NOW

00:34:48

SINCE YOU TOOK THE BAIT AND POINTED THE FINGER AT TOM,

00:34:50

BUT WE DON'T WANT HIM COZY.

00:34:53

I'D RATHER HE FEEL SOME PRESSURE.

00:34:54

PERHAPS WE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE

00:34:56

OF MR. NEELIX'S UNINTENTIONAL BLUNDER.

00:34:58

EXACTLY. I WANT YOU TO KEEP INVESTIGATING, NEELIX.

00:35:02

DO WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING-- POKE AROUND, ASK QUESTIONS--

00:35:04

BUT LET PEOPLE THINK

00:35:06

YOU'RE NOT SO SURE YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT TOM PARIS.

00:35:09

THAT WOULD PUT NEELIX IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

00:35:12

WE WOULD KEEP AN OPEN COM LINK TO YOU, AT ALL HOURS.

00:35:15

MY SECURITY TEAM COULD ACT IMMEDIATELY

00:35:17

IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN.

00:35:19

IT'S UP TO YOU, NEELIX.

00:35:21

THIS IS PURELY VOLUNTARY.

00:35:30

ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP, CAPTAIN

00:35:33

AND GET TOM HOME SAFELY, I WANT TO DO.

00:35:41

( static )

00:35:54

( static )

00:35:58

What did you expect?

00:35:59

Do you think this has all been about exchanging holiday greetings?

00:36:03

No, of course not, but...

00:36:05

Here's how it is going to work.

00:36:07

We'll be waiting for you on a planet called Hemikek Four.

00:36:11

( static )

00:36:13

WELL, TOM, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD

00:36:16

TO HAVE ONE'S INSTINCTS VERIFIED.

00:36:18

CLEVER PLAN, SESKA.

00:36:20

LEADING VOYAGER INTO AN AMBUSH

00:36:22

BUT EVEN SO, THIS SHIP WILL BE OUTMANNED AND OUTGUNNED.

00:36:25

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE GROUND TROOPS ON HEMIKEK

00:36:27

AND MORE SHIPS ON THE WAY.

00:36:30

NOW, DON'T YOU WISH YOU'D TAKEN MY OFFER?

00:36:34

( mechanical whine )

00:36:50

THANKS FOR THE HOSPITALITY.

00:36:54

GO GET HIM.

00:37:57

LIEUTENANT TORRES IS WAITING FOR THESE INTERLINK SEQUENCERS.

00:38:00

GET THEM TO HER RIGHT AWAY.

00:38:01

EXCUSE ME.

00:38:02

OH, HELLO, NEELIX.

00:38:04

I WAS WONDERING IF ONE OF YOU COULD HELP ME?

00:38:06

WE'RE A LITTLE BUSY RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU NEED?

00:38:08

THE SIGNAL CORRELATION TRACES

00:38:10

THAT IMPLICATED TOM PARIS--

00:38:12

THEY WERE ADDED TO THE FILE AFTER THE FACT.

00:38:14

YOU'RE KIDDING? SO, I WAS TRYING

00:38:16

TO FIGURE HOW THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED

00:38:18

AND WHO MIGHT HAVE DONE IT.

00:38:20

THIS COULDN'T BE A WORSE TIME, NEELIX.

00:38:22

WE'RE GETTING EVERYTHING READY FOR REBUILDING THE WARP COILS.

00:38:24

DO YOU MIND IF I USE

00:38:26

THE DIAGNOSTIC TERMINAL OVER THERE?

00:38:29

GO AHEAD. JUST DON'T TAP INTO

00:38:30

ANY ENGINEERING SYSTEMS.

00:38:31

I'LL BE CAREFUL.

00:38:33

Torres to Engineering.

00:38:34

JONAS HERE, LIEUTENANT.

00:38:35

I need the electrodynamic load specs.

00:38:38

They weren't with the other things you sent.

00:38:40

SORRY, LIEUTENANT. I'LL GET THEM TO YOU RIGHT NOW.

00:38:42

TAKE THESE TO LIEUTENANT TORRES.

00:38:43

RIGHT.

00:38:51

WHAT'S GOING ON?

00:38:52

Janeway: Bridge to Engineering.

00:38:53

JONAS HERE, CAPTAIN.

00:38:55

I need you to increase transporter range.

00:38:57

Shunt all available power

00:38:58

TO TRANSPORTER ROOM TWO. Right away.

00:39:00

LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU'VE DONE IT.

00:39:01

WE HAVE AN INCOMING SHUTTLE,

00:39:03

AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED HUMAN LIFE SIGNS.

00:39:04

It may be Tom Paris.

00:39:07

YES, MA'AM.

00:39:14

PARIS TO VOYAGER!

00:39:16

PARIS TO VOYAGER! DO YOU READ ME YET?

00:39:21

PARIS TO VOYAGER!

00:39:22

Paris to Voyager! Come in!

00:39:25

VOYAGER TO PARIS. WE HEAR YOU.

00:39:27

CAPTAIN, CHANGE YOUR COURSE IMMEDIATELY.

00:39:29

THE KAZON HAVE GROUND TROOPS WAITING FOR YOU on Hemikek, and more ships on the way.

00:39:34

WE'LL GET YOU OUT OF THERE AS SOON AS WE CAN TOM.

00:39:35

YOU'RE STILL OUT OF TRANSPORTER RANGE,

00:39:37

BUT WE WON'T CHANGE COURSE UNTIL WE'VE LOCKED ON TO YOU.

00:39:39

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!

00:39:41

Just get Voyager to safety!

00:39:44

As soon as you're on board.

00:39:46

TOM, WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

00:39:48

Lieutenant Paris, report.

00:39:50

MR. JONAS, WE NEED THAT TRANSPORTER NOW.

00:39:53

I'm working on it, Captain.

00:39:55

I'M HAVING TROUBLE RESETTING THE E.P.S. MANIFOLD.

00:39:57

Janeway: Stay on it.

00:40:00

MR. JONAS, I'M NO EXPERT,

00:40:02

BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK TO ME LIKE YOU'RE WORKING

00:40:03

ON THE TRANSPORTER SUBSYSTEMS.

00:40:05

NEELIX, I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

00:40:12

( electrical crackling )

00:40:14

WHAT DID YOU DO?

00:40:18

WHAT IS THIS FORCE FIELD FOR?

00:40:20

IT'S JUST A PRECAUTION.

00:40:21

PLEASE, NEELIX!

00:40:23

STAY OUT OF THIS!

00:40:28

Janeway: Tom, can you hear me? Report.

00:40:30

I'M HERE, CAPTAIN.

00:40:31

We'll be in normal transporter range in another minute.

00:40:36

CAPTAIN... THE SPY.

00:40:39

IT'S MICHAEL JONAS.

00:40:40

He's the one that sabotaged the ship.

00:40:44

NOTED. JANEWAY TO TUVOK.

00:40:46

GET TO ENGINEERING IMMEDIATELY.

00:40:48

IT'S MICHAEL JONAS.

00:40:49

Tuvok: On our way.

00:40:51

SHUTTLE HULL STARTING TO BREACH.

00:40:54

MIGHT NOT MAKE IT, CAPTAIN.

00:40:58

I RECOGNIZE THAT SUBROUTINE.

00:41:00

YOU'RE INTO THE WEAPONS SYSTEM.

00:41:02

YOU'RE DISABLING THEM!

00:41:03

FOR GOD'S SAKES, NEELIX, BACK OFF.

00:41:05

NEELIX TO...

00:41:06

( groans )

00:41:15

( groans )

00:41:27

WE'RE IN TRANSPORTER RANGE, CAPTAIN.

00:41:29

VOYAGER TO PARIS.

00:41:31

Tom, can you hear me?

00:41:32

We're energizing now.

00:41:38

TRANSPORTER ROOM TWO, DO YOU HAVE HIM?

00:41:40

We have him, Captain. He's all right.

00:41:44

IT'S THE KAZON SHIP, CAPTAIN.

00:41:46

RETURN FIRE. JANEWAY TO TUVOK, ARE YOU IN ENGINEERING YET?

00:41:50

The doors are sealed.

00:41:51

We're working on it, Captain.

00:41:52

BRIDGE TO TRANSPORTER ROOM TWO.

00:41:54

LOCK ON TO MR. JONAS IN ENGINEERING

00:41:56

AND BEAM HIM OUT OF THERE.

00:41:57

Man: Aye, Captain.

00:42:05

All I got was his combadge, Captain.

00:42:10

CAPTAIN, WE'VE LOST WEAPONS.

00:42:12

IT LOOKS LIKE THE PHASER ARRAYS HAVE BEEN DISABLED

00:42:14

FROM ENGINEERING.

00:42:15

EVASIVE MANEUVERS, ENSIGN.

00:42:17

MR. KIM, GET THOSE WEAPONS BACK ON-LINE.

00:42:27

( grunts )

00:42:34

( groaning )

00:42:40

( yelling )

00:43:05

( bellowing )

00:43:20

WEAPONS ARE BACK ON-LINE, CAPTAIN.

00:43:22

FIRE AT WILL.

00:43:23

YES, MA'AM.

00:43:39

ARE YOU INJURED?

00:43:40

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, MR. VULCAN.

00:43:41

I'M PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT.

00:43:44

UNFORTUNATELY, MR. JONAS WASN'T SO LUCKY.

00:43:46

Janeway: Bridge to Tuvok.

00:43:47

I'm standing down Red Alert.

00:43:50

WELL, I'M GOING TO HAVE PLENTY OF MATERIAL

00:43:53

FOR TOMORROW'S BRIEFING WITH NEELIX.

00:43:57

...AND FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO STEAL

00:43:59

ONE OF THE KAZON SHUTTLES AND ESCAPE.

00:44:01

AN AMAZING STORY.

00:44:03

AMAZING.

00:44:05

NOW, I'D LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING MORE, IF I MIGHT.

00:44:07

OF COURSE.

00:44:09

UM, I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN ACTING LIKE A JERK

00:44:12

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

00:44:15

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO BEHAVE THAT WAY

00:44:17

IF THE SPY WAS GOING TO BELIEVE

00:44:18

THAT I REALLY WANTED TO LEAVE THE SHIP.

00:44:21

SO I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE

00:44:23

THAT I MIGHT HAVE OFFENDED...

00:44:25

UH, ESPECIALLY COMMANDER CHAKOTAY.

00:44:27

I GAVE HIM A PRETTY HARD TIME.

00:44:29

NOT THAT IT WASN'T A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FUN, MIND YOU.

00:44:34

( hearty laugh )

00:44:36

THERE YOU HAVE IT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

00:44:39

THE TRUE HERO OF THIS WHOLE ENDEAVOR:

00:44:41

LIEUTENANT THOMAS EUGENE PARIS.

00:44:44

WELL, I'M AFRAID THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE.

00:44:45

OH, I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO THE DOCTOR

00:44:47

FOR NOT GETTING AROUND TO HIM ONCE AGAIN TODAY.

00:44:51

BUT I PROMISE YOU, HE'LL BE HERE TOMORROW

00:44:53

WITH LOTS OF FASCINATING INFORMATION

00:44:55

ABOUT THE BOLIAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.

00:44:57

GOOD DAY, VOYAGER.
