Kate Mulgrew: Capt. Kathryn Janeway
Quotes
-
Devore Inspector Kashyk : Captain, do you trust me?
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Not for a second.
Devore Inspector Kashyk : Exactly! And why should you? Trust has to be earned. It's gradual, and yet it's the foundation of every relationship, professional and personal. It's also a concept alien to the telepathic races. Why take someone at their word when you can simply read their mind?
-
Devore Inspector Kashyk : I suppose you liked me better in uniform.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : I haven't decided whether I like you at all.
-
[Kashyk contemplates the Kolyan Kolyar - infinite spirals - in space]
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Are you saying goodbye? There'll be other spirals.
Devore Inspector Kashyk : They just never looked quite so... beautiful before. Could be the company I'm keeping.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Or the polarization axis of the windows.
Devore Inspector Kashyk : That must be it.
-
Captain Kathryn Janeway : You'll have your own quarters but limited access to Voyager's systems, and your whereabouts will be monitored at all times.
Devore Inspector Kashyk : I'm used to being surrounded by armed guards. Makes me feel secure.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Only this time, they answer to me. Consider them a reminder that Voyager is my ship.
Devore Inspector Kashyk : I don't think anyone could doubt that.

Devore Inspector Kashyk : Well played, Captain. It seems I never did earn your trust.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : I had to take a few precautions. You understand.
Devore Inspector Kashyk : Better than anyone.
-
Captain Kathryn Janeway : [trying to avoid more Devore inspection vessels] Tuvok, Seven. I want you to lay in a course that'll attract as little attention as possible. Avoid their colonies, space stations, tourist attractions - if they have any.
-
Captain Kathryn Janeway : [receiving Inspector Kashyk for the fourth time] I submitted to your previous inspections because you outgunned me, but I don't see any of your warships nearby. I have no intention of cooperating.
Devore Inspector Kashyk : I'm not here to search Voyager.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Then what do you want, Inspector?
Devore Inspector Kashyk : Call me Kashyk, please. I never liked that title. In fact, I've left it behind.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Did somebody offer you a promotion, or are you just having a bad day?
-
Captain Kathryn Janeway : How do you predict a random occurrence?
Devore Inspector Kashyk : You follow your instincts.

Devore Inspector Kashyk : Yes, I remember. I also remember warning you about going where you don't belong.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Exploring can sometimes be hard to resist, Inspector.
Devore Inspector Kashyk : Well, it's a romantic notion, Captain, but one I *can't* allow you to indulge.

Captain Kathryn Janeway : All hands, this is the Captain. Prepare to be boarded by Devore inspection teams. Give them your full cooperation.
