-
[Voyager has been traveling through a starless void for two months]
Tuvok : [of the Astrometrics Lab] I come here to meditate. Needless to say, the view from my quarters has been less than stellar lately.
-
[Janeway intends to sacrifice herself to get Voyager out of the void]
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Tom, set a course.
[Tom remains in his seat with his arms crossed]
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Lieutenant, I gave you an order.
Tom Paris : I can't follow that order, ma'am.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Harry, take the helm.
Harry Kim : I'm sorry, Captain.
[Janeway looks at the other crew members one by one, finally at Seven...]
Seven of Nine : I will not comply.
[... and the Doctor]
The Doctor : What's a hologram to do?
Tuvok : As you can see, you're not the only one who's had time to evaluate the past.
-
Tuvok : She believes that she made an error in judgment four year ago, that she's responsible for stranding Voyager in the Delta Quadrant.
Chakotay : She told you?
Tuvok : No. I've been observing her behavior for the past four years. Guilt has been her constant companion.
Chakotay : You've known her longer than anyone. Have you ever seen her like this?
Tuvok : Only once. It was during her first year as a Commander on the USS Billings. She sent an away team to survey a volcanic moon. Their shuttle was damaged by a magma eruption, and three crew members were severely injured. The next day, she returned to the moon, alone, to complete the survey. She wanted the crew to know that their suffering had not been in vain. She could have been killed.
Chakotay : Seeking redemption.
Tuvok : Precisely. Captain Janeway's methods are unorthodox - it is her strength as a leader - but, unfortunately, it is also her greatest weakness.
Chakotay : Stubborn as a Klingon.
Tuvok : To put it mildly.
Chakotay : If she tries something like that again, I want to be ready, and I'm gonna need your support.
