Basics: Part 1

00:00:10

Look.

00:00:14

And you said they were incompatible.

00:00:18

TUVOK: You have confirmed the genetic structure?

00:00:21

An entirely new species.

00:00:24

I'm gonna name it after you.

00:00:26

The Tuvok orchid.

00:00:30

That is an honor you should reserve for yourself, Mr. Suder.

00:00:33

You gave this species life.

00:00:35

And you gave me life.

00:00:37

All of this is because of you.

00:00:42

Because of the meld.

00:00:44

The meld may have introduced you to my interest in floriculture, but you have embraced it entirely on your own.

00:00:52

And discovered a unique talent within yourself in the process.

00:00:56

I used to think the only talent I had was a talent for killing.

00:01:03

Please... It's my way of saying thank you.

00:01:09

Very well.

00:01:11

I accept.

00:01:18

Tuvok, I want to do something for the ship.

00:01:21

I'm not asking you to let me out of confinement.

00:01:24

I accept my punishment.

00:01:26

But if I could just...

00:01:28

Just contribute somehow.

00:01:31

What contribution do you feel you could make from your quarters?

00:01:35

I was... I was thinking I might adapt some of the genetic engineering techniques

00:01:42

I've developed for the orchids to make the airponic vegetable garden more productive.

00:01:48

Your attitude is admirable.

00:01:50

I will discuss it with the Captain.

00:01:53

Do you think she'll agree?

00:01:56

We'll see.

00:01:58

Now, shall we begin?

00:02:04

Notice your mind working.

00:02:06

How it plans for the future, visits the past.

00:02:11

Notice those thoughts and set them aside.

00:02:15

Turn your attention to the white light that is your breath.

00:02:21

Captain, we're being hailed on a subspace frequency.

00:02:24

Are there ships in the vicinity?

00:02:25

Negative. Tracking the source.

00:02:29

Seems likes it's coming from an unmanned buoy.

00:02:31

Coordinates 140 mark 317.

00:02:35

It looks like a Kazon signal, Captain.

00:02:36

Take us out of warp. Open a channel.

00:02:41

SESKA: Chakotay, they're going to take your son.

00:02:45

When Culluh saw the baby...

00:02:47

I hear them coming.

00:02:48

I don't have much time.

00:02:50

When he saw the baby wasn't his...

00:02:51

Please, Chakotay, help us-- Not for me, for your son.

00:02:55

CULLUH: I told you to stay out of here.

00:02:57

SESKA: No, please don't.

00:02:58

Don't take him!

00:03:00

I beg... No! Please, no! No!

00:03:04

( dramatic theme playing )

00:03:10

( triumphant theme playing )

00:04:56

( dramatic theme playing )

00:05:00

This is not my responsibility.

00:05:02

She has no right to expect me--

00:05:03

She knows you, Chakotay.

00:05:05

She knew how you'd react when you saw your son in danger.

00:05:08

I have a duty to this crew.

00:05:11

I can't just leave and go looking for the child.

00:05:13

And I'd never consider letting you go into a Kazon-Nistrim stronghold by yourself.

00:05:17

If we do this, we do it together.

00:05:21

That's something else Seska would know too.

00:05:23

Do you think it's a trap?

00:05:25

Do I think Seska is capable of manipulating you and me with this?

00:05:28

Oh, yes. On the other hand, it was time for her to deliver.

00:05:33

And that baby we saw did look part Cardassian and part human.

00:05:36

And knowing Culluh, I'm sure his pride was wounded when he realized the child wasn't his.

00:05:41

It makes sense, Chakotay.

00:05:42

It might all be true.

00:05:45

Still, the safest thing would be to ignore this message and resume our course.

00:05:51

I'm not going to resume our course just yet.

00:05:53

I want you to think about it, Chakotay.

00:05:57

This has to be your decision.

00:06:00

If you choose to go after him,

00:06:03

I know I speak for the entire crew--

00:06:04

Starfleet and Maquis alike--

00:06:07

When I say we'll stand behind you.

00:06:11

( dramatic theme playing )

00:06:15

( beeps )

00:06:24

Ah-koo-chee-moya.

00:06:27

We are far from the sacred places of our grandfathers.

00:06:32

We are far from the bones of my people, but I ask on this day of sorrow and uncertainty that the wisdom of my father find me and help me understand my dilemma.

00:06:47

Speak to me, Father.

00:06:51

Speak to me in my dreams.

00:06:54

KOLOPAK: I've never seen you so troubled, Chakotay.

00:07:29

I have a son, Father.

00:07:33

A son, Chakotay?

00:07:36

Oh.

00:07:38

This is the reason for your despair.

00:07:41

Was he born with two arms and two legs and a heart that beats?

00:07:48

Yes, but--

00:07:49

Then it's a cause for celebration.

00:07:52

You will make a fine father.

00:07:56

You needn't worry.

00:08:00

I'm not sure I'm willing to be a father to him.

00:08:03

Hmm. Not willing?

00:08:06

He was born without my consent.

00:08:09

I had no part in it.

00:08:12

No part in it?

00:08:14

Well, it's been a long time, so forgive me, but it seems that I had to play a part before your mother could conceive.

00:08:23

My DNA was taken from me.

00:08:26

Used by a woman to impregnate herself without my permission.

00:08:32

I see.

00:08:34

You're trying to decide whether you should accept the child in your heart.

00:08:38

It's more than that.

00:08:40

But it must begin with that!

00:08:42

How do you take a child into your heart who is forced upon you by a mother's deception?

00:08:50

He knows nothing of deception.

00:08:54

He is innocent.

00:08:57

Centuries ago, when the women of our tribe were raped by white conquerors, many gave birth to their children.

00:09:06

And we did not reject them.

00:09:09

They were accepted by the tribe.

00:09:14

One was a direct ancestor of ours, Chakotay.

00:09:17

His name was Ce Acatl.

00:09:21

He became a great leader of our people.

00:09:26

Here is a man who was given life without his mother's consent.

00:09:31

Are you so different from her?

00:09:36

And is your child so different from Ce Acatl?

00:09:44

No.

00:09:48

He is your son, Chakotay.

00:09:52

And he is a child of our people.

00:09:56

( dramatic theme playing )

00:10:19

I've been in touch with the Talaxian mining colony on Prema II.

00:10:24

They're willing to come to our assistance if we run into trouble.

00:10:27

That's good for about 40 hours if we average warp 2.

00:10:31

After that, we're out of their com range.

00:10:32

Well, it's nice to know we have friends in the area.

00:10:34

Thank you, Neelix.

00:10:36

I recommend a full diagnostic of our tactical array prior to the start of the mission, Captain.

00:10:40

Agreed, but I want more from tactical, Lieutenant.

00:10:42

I want to anticipate a trap.

00:10:43

And I want a few tricks up our sleeves, if we need them.

00:10:46

Captain, I could program the deflector grid to make it look like we have help on the way.

00:10:51

I'll show you what I mean.

00:10:52

Excuse me, doctor. ( beeps )

00:10:57

Echo displacement.

00:10:58

KIM: Exactly.

00:10:59

This is how we'd look to the enemy sensors.

00:11:04

If we generate multiple decoy images like these, the Kazon would think that ships are coming toward us.

00:11:10

We could create as many as we want.

00:11:12

That's a good start, Harry.

00:11:13

It should distract them for a while.

00:11:15

But what else can we do if we're eventually intercepted by a superior force?

00:11:19

DOCTOR: If you don't mind,

00:11:20

I do have something to add.

00:11:22

( beeps )

00:11:23

Thank you.

00:11:24

Captain, I hesitate to offer suggestions

00:11:26

in a field of endeavor that is not

00:11:28

within my usual area of expertise.

00:11:30

Please, doctor, your suggestions on any subject are always welcome.

00:11:33

Really? In that case, you may expect several more

00:11:36

on a variety of matters in the near future.

00:11:38

Right now, may I suggest that we also consider

00:11:41

attempting to create an actual holographic illusion

00:11:45

of friendly ships.

00:11:46

With all due respect, doctor, we can't even figure out how to project you into this room.

00:11:51

How are we supposed to create holographic ships in space?

00:11:53

DOCTOR: I would humbly submit

00:11:55

that my program is far more sophisticated

00:11:56

than your run-of-the-mill hologram.

00:11:58

In fact, projecting the illusion

00:12:01

of a large three-dimensional object

00:12:03

has been a trick of magicians for centuries.

00:12:05

We'll just do it with mirrors.

00:12:07

DOCTOR: Mr. Paris' predictable attempts at humor not withstanding,

00:12:10

that is precisely what I would suggest.

00:12:13

Installing holo-emitters along the hull with parabolic mirrors

00:12:17

to enlarge the images as they are reflected into space.

00:12:20

We're gonna use up a lot of our power reserves trying to pull it off.

00:12:24

CHAKOTAY: If these ships can fool the Kazon, it's worth it.

00:12:27

TUVOK: But can they? If the Kazon scan the holograms, they will immediately realize there are no life signs on board, no power signatures...

00:12:35

Okay, so we can't fool them for long, but maybe it'll be long enough.

00:12:38

It's an advantage.

00:12:40

And we'll need every advantage we can get on this mission.

00:12:42

Work on the doctor with it, B'Elanna.

00:12:43

Mr. Kim, cut power to all systems to minimum requirements. I don't wanna show up on any Kazon long-range scanners.

00:12:50

Mr. Paris, locate the warp signature from Culluh's ship and set a course to follow, warp 2.

00:12:54

Aye, Captain. Dismissed.

00:12:56

CHAKOTAY: Uh, excuse me, but there is one more thing.

00:13:01

Thank you.

00:13:07

( dramatic theme playing )

00:13:17

It's not Culluh's ship.

00:13:18

Looks more like a shuttle.

00:13:20

Slow to impulse.

00:13:21

Set an intercept course, Mr. Paris.

00:13:23

Have they indicated the nature of the distress?

00:13:25

Just a signal, Captain. No response to our hails.

00:13:27

Let's go to red alert. ( alarm sounds )

00:13:29

Visual range. On screen.

00:13:33

KIM: Showing one life sign. Adult Kazon male.

00:13:36

He's in critical condition.

00:13:37

Janeway to Sickbay.

00:13:38

Prepare to receive an emergency transport.

00:13:40

KES: Standing by, Captain. Commander.

00:13:42

Mr. Tuvok, you have the Bridge. Remain at red alert.

00:13:44

TUVOK: Aye, Captain.

00:13:48

KES: His hip is broken.

00:13:50

Showing severe inflammation in the bronchial tissue.

00:13:52

It appears he inhaled noxious gases vented in the damaged shuttle.

00:13:56

40 milligrams pulmozine.

00:13:57

CHAKOTAY: I know this man.

00:13:59

His name's Tierna.

00:14:00

He's one of Seska's aides.

00:14:02

She had him work me over when I was on their ship.

00:14:05

( grunting ): Seska...is dead.

00:14:15

( dramatic theme playing )

00:14:21

TIERNA: Seska thought that she could manipulate the maje.

00:14:24

She bragged about it to me more than once, but this time she was wrong.

00:14:28

We had just launched the buoy with the message for you.

00:14:33

Then they came for her.

00:14:35

They cut her throat, as Culluh watched.

00:14:41

He ordered them to execute me, but I bribed one of the guards to get me to a shuttle.

00:14:47

As soon as he saw it leaving, Culluh opened fire--

00:14:51

Destroyed my life-support systems.

00:14:54

He left me in space to die.

00:14:57

What about the child?

00:14:58

Taken to the Gema IV colony to be raised as a servant.

00:15:04

We'll be needing your help getting to the Gema system.

00:15:07

You're going after him?

00:15:09

This ship, alone?

00:15:12

I want nothing to do with this.

00:15:15

I'm not taking you into Nistrim space.

00:15:19

Under the circumstances, I'd say you don't have much of a choice.

00:15:27

What's his prognosis?

00:15:29

He'll be on his feet in a day or two, but there's still a number of things we need to keep an eye on.

00:15:34

He's had...a nasty concussion, spinal cord trauma and a polycythemia, the cause of which I've yet to discover.

00:15:44

Polycythemia?

00:15:46

An abnormal increase in the number of red blood cells.

00:15:51

I'd like you to run an autonomic response analysis the next time I question him.

00:15:55

I'm afraid that won't help you determine if he's telling the truth, Commander.

00:15:58

An ARA depends on making a baseline comparison with a known response for a given species.

00:16:03

Any Tom, Dick or Harry from the Alpha Quadrant, I could probably help you, but not with any of the new species of the Delta Quadrant.

00:16:10

( computer beeping )

00:16:14

Regarding his veracity, it may help you to know that if we'd arrived an hour later, he would have been dead from his injuries.

00:16:25

The molecular variance residual on his shuttle is evidence of disruptor blasts, and the signature is Kazon, so at least that part of his story seems to be true.

00:16:33

Plus, we confirmed nitrogen tetroxide fumes were in the cabin.

00:16:36

If all this was part of a Kazon scheme, he had to be willing to breathe poison for hours before we got there.

00:16:41

Have you found anything at all that would cast doubt on his story?

00:16:46

No.

00:16:51

I still don't trust him.

00:16:56

The trip would take six days at warp 2.

00:16:59

NEELIX: Four days, if you didn't take such a circuitous route--

00:17:02

If we simply went across the Tenarus cluster.

00:17:04

You would encounter the Nistrim fleet before a single day passed.

00:17:09

Anyone who knows this part of space will tell you the same thing.

00:17:13

NEELIX: It so happens that I do know this part of space, my Kazon friend.

00:17:18

I just wanted to see if you would tell us the truth.

00:17:20

The route he suggests is safer, Captain.

00:17:23

TIERNA: Of course it's safer.

00:17:25

I don't want to run into Culluh any more than you do.

00:17:29

CHAKOTAY: We might have more success avoiding him if you gave us the command codes for the Nistrim defense net.

00:17:36

TUVOK: Computer, display... ( computer beeping )

00:17:38

...tactical overview of our current course.

00:17:44

Enter code sequence: 4-9-1-1-7-0-Culluh.

00:17:59

Mr. Paris, adjust our course to avoid the defense net.

00:18:02

Aye, Captain.

00:18:04

TIERNA: That is not an end to the danger.

00:18:07

We are heading into an area of space populated by Kazon factions that are loyal to no one.

00:18:14

They will attack without provocation.

00:18:20

( suspenseful theme playing )

00:18:26

Vessel approaching. Coordinates: 314 mark 21.

00:18:30

Signature is Kazon.

00:18:32

Red alert.

00:18:33

Configuration of the ship, Mr. Tuvok?

00:18:35

A small raider, Captain.

00:18:37

It does not pose a significant threat.

00:18:38

Nevertheless, it is powering up its weapon systems.

00:18:41

( weapon fires in distance )

00:18:43

Shields are holding.

00:18:46

Return fire.

00:18:53

The raider is breaking off its attack.

00:18:55

KIM: Minor damage to secondary command processors on Deck 12.

00:18:59

EPS power supplies, and isolinear controllers are off-line.

00:19:03

No casualties though.

00:19:05

Begin repairs, Mr. Kim.

00:19:06

Any other sign of Kazon ships, Lieutenant?

00:19:08

Nothing on long-range sensors.

00:19:10

The raider is continuing to retreat.

00:19:11

We should have a couple of hours to ourselves at least.

00:19:14

Good. We can use them. Stand down red alert.

00:19:17

PARIS: Captain, we're about to go beyond the com range of the Talaxian colony.

00:19:22

Just thought you'd like to know.

00:19:23

Thank you, Lieutenant.

00:19:25

Maintain current course.

00:19:26

Captain.

00:19:30

I haven't forgotten, Mr. Tuvok.

00:19:32

Very well.

00:19:33

This seems as good a time as any.

00:19:39

( equipment beeping )

00:19:46

Captain. Mr. Suder.

00:19:48

Please... P-please come in.

00:19:50

W-won't you sit down?

00:19:51

Excuse the mess.

00:19:53

I wasn't expecting company.

00:19:56

Can I get you some tea?

00:19:59

Have you had lunch?

00:20:00

Nothing, thank you.

00:20:02

Lieutenant Tuvok has been telling me about your progress.

00:20:05

Has he? Well, I'm...

00:20:09

I'm very grateful to him, Captain.

00:20:11

I still have a lot to learn, of course, but he is an excellent tutor.

00:20:15

When we first started our studies, I--

00:20:16

TUVOK: The Captain's time is limited, Mr. Suder.

00:20:19

What?

00:20:21

Oh.

00:20:22

Of course.

00:20:23

TUVOK: I have explained your proposal to her.

00:20:26

I'd like to know more about it, Mr. Suder.

00:20:28

What exactly would be involved?

00:20:29

Yes, yes...

00:20:32

Let me show you.

00:20:33

I've actually had very encouraging results with a new gene-splicing technique.

00:20:40

I created a targeted restriction enzyme to facilitate the hybrid.

00:20:45

And you feel you could experiment on our airponic crops here in your quarters?

00:20:49

Absolutely. I would make this an airponic laboratory, and all I would need are a few plants, certain chemicals and equipment.

00:20:57

What sort of chemicals and equipment?

00:20:59

Nothing dangerous.

00:21:00

I-I've prepared a list.

00:21:11

It's an interesting proposition, Mr. Suder.

00:21:13

Let me discuss it with Kes and Lieutenant Tuvok, and I'll get back to you.

00:21:16

I've already discussed it with Kes, and she is very interested.

00:21:21

Good. Let me give it some thought.

00:21:23

If you're worried you can't trust me, Captain--

00:21:25

Mr. Tuvok has assured-- I only want to do something-- Something for the ship.

00:21:31

I understand, Mr. Suder.

00:21:33

Then what's the problem?

00:21:34

Why won't you give me an answer?

00:21:36

Mr. Suder.

00:21:44

I just want to do something for the ship.

00:21:49

Excuse me.

00:21:52

( dramatic theme playing )

00:22:07

JANEWAY: Captain's log, supplemental.

00:22:10

None of the four Kazon attacks have caused serious damage,

00:22:13

but the starboard ventral has been hit each time--

00:22:15

complicating repairs on the secondary command processors.

00:22:23

You are making an adequate recovery, Mr. Tierna.

00:22:26

The only matter that I simply cannot understand is this lingering polycythemia.

00:22:30

I feel fine.

00:22:31

The medical record you gave us does not indicate any prior blood disorders.

00:22:35

Might it be an inherited trait?

00:22:37

Do you know if your parents ever--?

00:22:39

My parents were killed in a Trabe attack shortly after I was born.

00:22:45

I see. Well, we'll need to monitor this condition for a while.

00:22:49

It might be due to some chemical imbalance that our sensors aren't recognizing.

00:22:54

Possibly the result of the toxins you inhaled while on the shuttle.

00:23:00

You're welcome.

00:23:07

Feeling better?

00:23:08

I'm sure I'll make a complete recovery.

00:23:11

Just in time for the Gema colony's defense force to destroy us all.

00:23:15

You're still not optimistic about our chances, are you?

00:23:18

No. We've had no problem repelling the attacks so far.

00:23:21

Attacks... When there's a real Nistrim attack, you'll know it.

00:23:26

You still have pride in the Nistrim, don't you, Tierna?

00:23:29

Even after what they did to you.

00:23:30

I remember that pride in your eyes when you pounded me with your fists while I was tied to a chair.

00:23:36

And I can see it in your eyes now, and that scares the hell out of me.

00:23:42

You must scare easily, Federation.

00:23:46

( grunts )

00:23:48

Tell me something, Tierna.

00:23:50

Every Kazon attack seems to focus on our starboard ventral.

00:23:53

Think that might be some kind of pattern?

00:23:55

I wouldn't know. Because if it is, and you've been lying to us--

00:23:59

Commander Chakotay.

00:24:01

Not in my Sickbay, please.

00:24:05

( alarm sounding )

00:24:08

( dramatic theme playing )

00:24:14

( rumbling ) Firing phasers.

00:24:16

Increase speed to one-half impulse.

00:24:17

Aye, Captain. KIM: They're coming at our starboard ventral again.

00:24:20

Our shields there haven't been repaired yet.

00:24:22

We're gonna sustain more damage to the secondary command processors.

00:24:25

Starboard ventral. COMPUTER: Warning.

00:24:27

Fires have been detected

00:24:28

on Decks 12 and 15 Sections A-4 through C-18.

00:24:32

Control units are responding, Captain.

00:24:34

Keep our port forequarter facing the line of attack, Mr. Paris.

00:24:37

Don't let them see our starboard ventral.

00:24:38

I'm doing my best.

00:24:39

Continuous fire, starboard phasers.

00:24:41

Acknowledged. ( rumbling continues )

00:24:43

TUVOK: They're withdrawing, Captain.

00:24:45

Stand down red alert.

00:24:47

Mr. Kim?

00:24:49

Deck 12 is in shambles.

00:24:51

We barely have time to begin repairs before they attack it again.

00:24:54

At least no one was hurt.

00:24:55

The secondary command processors are nonfunctional.

00:24:58

We'll have to rebuild them.

00:25:00

I'd say we're looking at two days' work

00:25:01

if we're not attacked again.

00:25:03

Why would these factions of Kazon, loyal to no one, all have the same agenda?

00:25:07

And why would that agenda focus on a nonessential area of the ship?

00:25:10

I don't know, but it feels like we're being pecked to death by ducks.

00:25:13

We can't just stay on this course and wait to see what they have in store for us.

00:25:16

I agree. It's time to reexamine our game plan.

00:25:18

Mr. Paris, reverse course. Aye, Captain.

00:25:21

CHAKOTAY: Mr. Tierna should be restricted to quarters on a secured deck until further notice.

00:25:25

Acknowledged.

00:25:30

( door beeps, opens )

00:25:37

( beeps )

00:25:39

( suspenseful theme playing )

00:25:46

Dinnertime, Mr. Suder.

00:25:48

We have a fine leola root soup tonight.

00:25:54

I'm not hungry.

00:25:58

( alarm sounds )

00:26:01

Red alert.

00:26:03

I'm afraid we have to go.

00:26:06

I'll leave it here, ah... just in case.

00:26:12

( door closes )

00:26:17

How many do you count, Mr. Tuvok?

00:26:18

Eight large carrier vessels, confirmed Kazon signatures.

00:26:22

Funny how they show up right after we reverse course.

00:26:24

Time to intercept? Eight minutes.

00:26:27

Their attack formation is a classic Cardassian echelon.

00:26:30

TUVOK: Curious.

00:26:31

They have left us with an obvious avenue of escape, Captain.

00:26:37

You're right. It is curious.

00:26:39

Too curious for me.

00:26:42

I don't know what's down that avenue of escape,

00:26:44

Mr. Tuvok, but I like to choose my own way.

00:26:46

Set a course to intercept their lead ship.

00:26:49

Aye, Captain.

00:26:52

Battle stations.

00:26:59

( suspenseful theme playing )

00:27:07

Time to intercept?

00:27:08

Three minutes, 10 seconds... give or take a photon torpedo.

00:27:12

Mr. Kim?

00:27:13

( console beeping )

00:27:16

Echo displacement ready, Captain.

00:27:18

Send in the cavalry.

00:27:20

Activating deflector grid.

00:27:25

They should be seeing the same thing on their scanners--

00:27:28

Ten ships with Talaxian signatures.

00:27:30

Four of the Kazon ships are breaking formation.

00:27:32

Confirmed. They're changing course.

00:27:33

They took the bait.

00:27:35

That only leaves four for us to handle.

00:27:37

I like those odds better than eight to one.

00:27:38

Two minutes to intercept.

00:27:40

Janeway to Torres.

00:27:41

We're ready down here, Captain.

00:27:43

All the new holo-projectors are online.

00:27:45

We can create three Talaxian ships whenever you want to.

00:27:48

JANEWAY: In about a minute and a half, B'Elanna. Stand by.

00:27:51

Perhaps we should try one last systems check.

00:27:53

We've already done it twice.

00:27:55

DOCTOR: I'm new at this, and we've never put

00:27:57

such a demand on the holo-generators before.

00:28:00

We should've boosted the power input.

00:28:02

The defense systems are going to need all the auxiliary power we have, doctor.

00:28:06

We might try a preliminary--

00:28:07

Doctor!

00:28:08

It'll work.

00:28:10

Everything'll be fine.

00:28:12

I'm not worried.

00:28:15

( rumbling )

00:28:17

Here we go.

00:28:19

They are randomly detonating torpedoes in our flight path.

00:28:21

Shields are holding. No damage.

00:28:23

Hold your fire, Mr. Tuvok.

00:28:25

They may have torpedoes to waste-- We don't.

00:28:27

Thirty seconds to intercept.

00:28:29

Take us out of warp.

00:28:30

PARIS: Engaging impulse engines.

00:28:32

Power to all weapon systems.

00:28:33

Stand by phasers. TUVOK: Kazon vessel,

00:28:36

10,000 kilometers off our starboard bow.

00:28:37

Not yet. 6,000 kilometers.

00:28:40

Not yet. 5,000.

00:28:42

3,000...2,000.

00:28:44

Now!

00:28:52

Initiating evasive maneuvers, beta sequence.

00:28:55

Two more Kazon ships approaching.

00:28:57

Shields at 90 percent.

00:29:04

( sighs deeply )

00:29:06

( muttering in alien language)

00:29:08

Janeway to Torres. Initiate holo-programs.

00:29:10

Acknowledged.

00:29:11

Energizing.

00:29:25

That's two.

00:29:26

And here's number three.

00:29:28

( insistent beeping )

00:29:34

Help! Man overboard!

00:29:45

( screaming )

00:29:51

B'ELANNA: Doctor, are you there?

00:29:53

Are you all right?

00:29:55

I told you we should have run one last systems check.

00:30:01

( sighs )

00:30:03

( rumble )

00:30:04

Fourth Kazon ship, dead ahead.

00:30:06

But they're dividing their fire, Captain.

00:30:07

The holograms are working.

00:30:09

Ready photons.

00:30:10

Torpedoes loaded.

00:30:11

Take us about, Mr. Paris.

00:30:13

We want a good angle on that fourth ship.

00:30:14

Coming about, 141 mark 20.

00:30:18

Fire photon number one.

00:30:20

( suspenseful theme playing )

00:30:22

Full starboard roll.

00:30:23

Evasive maneuvers, lambda sequence.

00:30:27

Fire.

00:31:03

Shields at 85 percent and holding.

00:31:05

Minor damage reported, Deck 14.

00:31:07

Come about to 143 mark 060.

00:31:10

Coming about.

00:31:11

Ready photons.

00:31:12

Dispersal pattern sierra. Fire.

00:31:35

( yelling )

00:31:44

I'm reading a massive discharge on Deck 8.

00:31:46

We've lost a primary plasma conduit.

00:31:49

Deck 8-- Tierna's quarters.

00:31:51

Damage control teams to Deck 8.

00:31:53

I'm showing power failures all over the ship.

00:32:03

We've lost power to the new holodeck grid.

00:32:05

I can't restore it.

00:32:09

B'Elanna, are you all right?

00:32:10

Yes, Captain. But it looks like our reactant injector controls were hit. Stand by.

00:32:15

All three Kazon ships are concentrating their fire on us now, Captain.

00:32:19

KIM: Shields at 70 percent and falling.

00:32:20

Starboard targeting scanners are off-line.

00:32:23

Evasive maneuvers, Mr. Paris. Gamma sequence.

00:32:25

Engineering, I need warp power.

00:32:27

We can't go to warp, Captain.

00:32:29

The containment field generator has been damaged.

00:32:31

I'm attempting to bypass.

00:32:33

Captain, if I can get a shuttle through the crossfire,

00:32:35

I can go back and bring the Talaxians to help us.

00:32:39

Chakotay, take the conn. Good luck, Lieutenant.

00:32:44

( suspenseful theme continues )

00:32:59

( rumbling, alarm beeps )

00:33:03

Shuttle is clear. So far, so good.

00:33:04

Give him as much cover fire as you can, Tuvok.

00:33:06

Aye, Captain.

00:33:10

( grunts )

00:33:11

( consoles beeping )

00:33:14

Voyager to Paris.

00:33:18

Please respond.

00:33:20

Tom, can you hear me?

00:33:23

I've lost contact with the shuttle.

00:33:25

( rumbling continues )

00:33:27

Navigational array is off-line.

00:33:29

We've lost power to forward phasers.

00:33:32

Shields at 30 percent.

00:33:34

They're buckling.

00:33:35

( yelling )

00:33:39

Report.

00:33:40

The driver coil assembly has been destroyed.

00:33:42

Impulse engines are off-line.

00:33:44

TUVOK: We're being boarded through the shuttle bays, Captain.

00:33:46

Phaser fights reported on Decks 5, 6, 7.

00:33:51

CHAKOTAY: Intruder alert.

00:33:52

Security to Decks 5 through 7.

00:33:53

Begin evacuation.

00:33:55

Janeway to computer. ( computer beeps )

00:33:57

Initiate self-destruct sequence.

00:33:59

Authorization: Janeway-pi-1-1-0.

00:34:02

Set at 10 minutes. ( computer beeps )

00:34:04

COMPUTER: Unable to initiate self-destruct sequence

00:34:07

due to damage to secondary command processors.

00:34:12

MALE: Stay where you are. Don't move!

00:34:15

( grunts )

00:34:19

Hold your fire.

00:34:21

Get down there!

00:34:23

You! Move!

00:34:31

( ominous theme playing )

00:34:43

( ominous theme playing )

00:34:58

I want to speak to Maje Culluh.

00:34:59

CULLUH: Easily arranged, Captain.

00:35:04

Hello, everyone.

00:35:07

What do you think of your son, Chakotay?

00:35:10

He has your eyes. Don't you think?

00:35:14

Thank goodness he doesn't look too human.

00:35:16

You all have such weak foreheads.

00:35:18

May he grow up never knowing the contempt his father has for his mother.

00:35:21

I think I can assure you of that, Commander.

00:35:24

I intend to take him for my own son.

00:35:26

A man who would violate a woman under his own command-- What?

00:35:31

Doesn't deserve a son.

00:35:34

Is that what she told you?

00:35:35

The boy will be trained as a Nistrim askara.

00:35:38

Already he has helped us win the greatest battle in our history.

00:35:41

JANEWAY: Culluh.

00:35:42

I'd like to discuss what happens now.

00:35:46

( grunts )

00:35:52

You'll be given no more respect than any Kazon woman... now that your ship and technology are mine.

00:35:59

I will tell you

00:36:01

when you may speak.

00:36:02

Allow my crew to live.

00:36:04

They were following my orders.

00:36:06

You're even worse than she is.

00:36:09

What is it about the women from your Quadrant?

00:36:12

You know she contradicts me in front of the senior askara?

00:36:16

My own woman, disputing her maje in front of others.

00:36:20

This is your fault.

00:36:22

You've let your women get out of control.

00:36:24

You know you have my deepest respect, Maje.

00:36:30

Why is it so dark in here?

00:36:31

Somebody turn on the lights.

00:36:34

Order the repair crews to begin work immediately.

00:36:38

I want to leave for the Hanon system as soon as possible.

00:36:42

What's in the Hanon system?

00:36:43

Your new home.

00:36:45

Take them to a cargo bay. Have the whole crew brought there. Check all quarters.

00:36:50

( snaps fingers )

00:36:52

( suspenseful theme playing )

00:36:54

Move.

00:36:59

( grunts )

00:37:01

Good-bye, Chakotay.

00:37:04

I'll take good care of our son.

00:37:06

( baby crying )

00:37:08

Oh, are you hungry, my brave little boy?

00:37:16

( Kazon indistinctly yelling commands )

00:37:23

You! Move!

00:37:25

Keep moving!

00:37:31

NEELIX: This is outrageous! KAZON MALE: Shut up!

00:37:34

Get up! Move!

00:37:41

Get out!

00:37:44

Computer, activate medical holographic recall.

00:37:47

Set for 12 hours. Mark.

00:37:48

( computer beeps )

00:37:54

Check every room.

00:37:56

In here.

00:37:57

Get back.

00:38:00

( grunting )

00:38:08

( people grunting )

00:38:11

KAZON MALE: Keep moving!

00:38:13

( suspenseful theme continues )

00:38:32

Essential repairs are complete, Maje.

00:38:34

We have accounted for all but two of the Federation crew.

00:38:37

There is also a shuttle missing.

00:38:39

Yes, we destroyed the shuttle as it was leaving.

00:38:42

Has that been confirmed?

00:38:46

Fine.

00:38:48

Have the other ships send out search parties.

00:38:50

Confirm the shuttle was destroyed.

00:38:52

And even if they find wreckage that seems to be from the shuttle, tell them to check for a recent warp trail.

00:39:04

( suspenseful theme playing )

00:39:11

Stand by to engage atmospheric thrusters.

00:39:20

Prepare for landing.

00:39:22

Activate the viewscreen.

00:39:29

Extend landing struts.

00:39:36

( rumbling )

00:39:41

Ready environmental controls!

00:40:05

( rumble )

00:40:13

Disengage engines.

00:40:17

Secure thruster exhaust.

00:40:21

( laughing )

00:40:36

Badges. Over here.

00:40:51

A fitting end for a people who would not share their technology.

00:40:56

Let's see if you manage to survive... without it.

00:41:02

( suspenseful theme playing )

00:41:07

All right.

00:41:09

Let's go.

00:41:10

We've got to find water and shelter.

00:41:29

We'll divide the crew into teams.

00:41:31

Each of you will be a team leader.

00:41:33

Make it clear to all your people that we expect to be rescued and our job is to survive until help arrives.

00:41:39

Do you really think it's likely that someone will find us, Captain?

00:41:42

You're the morale officer, Neelix.

00:41:43

You give me an answer.

00:41:45

Help is on the way!

00:41:47

Maybe Tom's shuttle got through.

00:41:50

It's very important that this crew be given a sense of hope.

00:41:53

That's our most important job right now.

00:41:55

Our top priority is drinking water.

00:41:57

Second is shelter to spend the night.

00:41:59

CHAKOTAY: A clearing with a protected side like the base of a cliff would be best.

00:42:03

Food, fuel-- Look for all the basic survival requirements.

00:42:06

That includes anything that can be used as a tool or a weapon.

00:42:09

We'll reconvene here in about two hours.

00:42:11

All right, start dividing the crew.

00:42:13

Looks like we don't have much daylight left.

00:42:15

We'll spread the teams out in a standard alpha search pattern to see what we have to work with.

00:42:20

Chakotay, Torres, you're with me.

00:42:22

Alpha team here.

00:42:23

Beta team, this way.

00:42:25

KIM: Gamma team.

00:42:27

Delta team with me.

00:42:33

( rumble )

00:42:35

The planet seems to be seismically active.

00:42:37

At first glance, it's an M-Class planet in a Pliocene stage of evolution.

00:42:42

Comparable to Earth several million years ago.

00:42:47

( engines powering up )

00:42:54

( suspenseful theme playing )

00:42:56

( rumbling growl )

00:43:06

Captain.

00:43:17

( engines roaring )

00:43:48

( suspenseful theme continues )

00:45:11

( triumphant theme playing )
