• [Leijten is telling La Forge about a past relationship] 

  Lt. Cmdr. Susanna Leijten : What about you?

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Mm, I enjoy the bachelor's life too much.

  Lt. Cmdr. Susanna Leijten : That doesn't sound like my "little brother", who always wanted advice on women.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Well, obviously you were a... a great advisor.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The original Tarchannen disappearances were never solved, were they?

  Lt. Cmdr. Susanna Leijten : No. We never learned what happened or why. 49 people, gone.

  Commander William T. Riker : And five years later, the away team that was investigating their disappearances have started to disappear themselves.

  Lt. Cmdr. Susanna Leijten : [nods]  Geordi and I are the only two left.

• Lt. Cmdr. Susanna Leijten : We're going home, Geordi.

• Lt. Cmdr. Susanna Leijten : Tarchannen's down there, Geordi. It's waiting for us. That's where we should go.

• [Leijten attempts to approach La Forge, who has turned into an instinct-driven alien] 

  Lt. Cmdr. Susanna Leijten : You know I'm not a threat. The others, Mendez, Brevelle, they don't exist as Humans anymore. But a part of you still does. You're not one of them yet, Geordi. I can help you if you'll just trust me. I know what's going on inside of you - the war you're fighting with yourself. Your Humanity slipping away. The instinct to run. It's overpowering. But they know how to beat it now, Geordi. Look at me! I've come back, Geordi. Let me take you back, too.

• [last lines] 

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You know... down there, I... I didn't know who you were. And yet... somehow... I believed you. I trusted you.

  Lt. Cmdr. Susanna Leijten : That must have been because of all the good advice I used to give you.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Thanks.

• [first lines] 

  Brevelle : Tarchannen 3 investigation. Stardate 40614.7. Ensign Anthony Brevelle recording. Lieutenant Susanna Leitjen in command.

  Leijten : You up and running, Brevelle?

  Brevelle : Yes, Lieutenant.

  La Forge : I've checked buildings four and five. Just like all the others. No phaser hits, no sign of a fight. It's like the entire outpost just vanished.

  Hickman : Lieutenant Leitjen, you'd better come see this. No footprints, no vehicle tracks. The wind probably erased them. But look.
