Quotes 

• Ocampan Nurse : Are you in pain?

  B'Elanna Torres : Are you watching us? I thought we weren't supposed to be your prisoners.

  Ocampan Nurse : I wasn't watching you. I was coming to give you something. I don't know if it will help. It's a medicine. There are people who have broken from tradition and left the city. The colony grows fruits and vegetables. They discovered quite by accident that the moss that grows on certain fruit trees has healing properties. I'm sorry for what has happened to you.

  Harry Kim : We appreciate this, but the only way we're gonna survive is if we can get to the surface and find our own people.

  Ocampan Nurse : The elders would say that's against the Caretaker's wishes.

  B'Elanna Torres : What do you say?

  Ocampan Nurse : The Caretaker's been behaving strangely for the past several months; abducting people, increasing the power supply.

  Harry Kim : Power supply?

  Ocampan Nurse : He's tripled the energy he sends us. They say we have enough stored now to run the city for five years.

  Harry Kim : And nobody knows why?

  Ocampan Nurse : When we ask, we're told to trust the Caretaker's decisions. One person I know did get to the surface. We never saw her again.

  Harry Kim : How?

  Ocampan Nurse : The ancient tunnels that brought us here still exist. Over the years, small breaches in security barriers have appeared, just large enough for someone to get through, but it still requires digging through meters of rock to get out.

  B'Elanna Torres : Can you get us tools to dig with?

  Ocampan Nurse : It would take days, maybe even weeks to break through. You have to rest. Conserve your strength.

  Harry Kim : Please. It's our only chance.
