Chakotay: How’s it going down here?
B'Elanna: Not good. I can’t get a response from anybody. It’s like they’re catatonic.
Chakotay: Its the same all over the ship. On my way here, I must have seen 50 people just sitting, staring.
B'Elanna: A few minutes ago, there was a momentary interruption in the psionic field. Were there any indictaions that an alien somehow came on board?
Chakotay: I’ll find out. Chakotay to Janeway. Chakotay to the Captain. Please respond. Chakotay to anyone on the Bridge. Kim, Paris, anybody! We may be the last ones left.
B'Elanna: What do we do?
Chakotay: I think we should take an escape pod. We passed an M-Class planet yesterday. The pod should get us there in a week. We can try to get help.
B'Elanna: A week? That might be too late.
Chakotay: It may be our only hope. If we stay here we’ll end up lik the others.
B'Elanna: No. I have to keep trying to set up the resonance burst.
Chakotay: Do I have to give you an order?
B'Elanna: I can’t believe you’re saying this. You know we have to stay here to help the others.
Chakotay: I want you with me.
B'Elanna: You aren’t Chakotay.
Chakotay: I’m the Chakotay you want me to be. The one who loves you. This is what you want, isn’t it? The secret you’ve been keeping? You want us to be together. And we can be. (panting)
B'Elanna: I have to help the others.
Chakotay: I want you. I’ve always wanted you. (moaning)
Chakotay: You feel the same way too.
B'Elanna: YES!
