Part
One
Chakotay:
Chakotay:
"If That moment comes we'll face it
together and we'll make the right
decision. You're not alone, Kathryn."
Janeway:
"Three years ago I didn't even know your
name... today I couldn't imagine a day
without you."
Janeway:
"Maybe helping the Borg asimilate them
(8472) isn't such a bad idea - we may be
doing the Delta Quadrant a favor."
Chakotay:
"I don't think you really believe that.
I think you're struggling to justify
your plan because your desire to get
this crew home is blinding you to other
options. I know you, Kathryn.
Sometimes... you don't know when to step
back."
Janeway:
"Do you trust me, Chakotay?"
Chakotay:
"That isn't the issue..."
Janeway:
"Oh, but it is. Only yesterday you were
saying that we'd face this together -
that you'd be at my side."
Chakotay:
"I still have to tell you what I
believe. I'm no good to you if I don't
do that."
Janeway:
"I apreciate your insights, but the time
for debate is over. I've made my
decision - now... do I have your
support?"
Chakotay:
"You're the captain. I'm your first
officer. I'll follow your orders, but
that doesn't change my belief that we're
making a fatal mistake."
Janeway:
"Then I guess I am alone, after
all."
She is truly on the verge of tears by the end of this conversation...
Part
Two
Chakotay:
"Well, I've made my decision. If it were
only a matter of going against the
orders of my superior officer... but
you're more than my captain, you're my
friend... and I hope you'll understand."
Chakotay:
"I was linked to a collective once,
remember? I had a neuro-tranciever
embedded in my spine. I know who we're
dealing with. We've got to get
rid of that last Borg and take our
chances alone.
Janeway:
"It won't work... This isn't
working, either. There are two wars
going on - the one out there and the one
in here and... we're losing both of
them."
Chakotay:
"...'It will be your undoing'..."
Janeway:
"What?"
Chakotay:
"Our conflicted nature, our
individuality. Seven of Nine said we
lacked the cohesion of a collective
mind, that one day it would divide us
and destroy us. And here we are -
proving her point."
Janeway:
"I'll tell you when we lost control of
the situation - when we made our
mistake. It was the moment we turned
away from each other. We don't have to
stop being individuals to get through
this, we just have to stop fighting each
other."
Janeway:
"Bridge to Chakotay. Scorpion."
Chakotay:
"I want you to know that disobeying your
orders was one of the most difficult
things I've ever had to do."
Janeway:
"I understand. And I respect the
decision you made, even though I
disagree with it. What's imprtant is
that in the end we got through this.
Together. I don't ever want that to
change."
