Ensign Harry Kim : So, I hear there's been some trouble down in Engineering.
Lieutenant Tuvok : There was an altercation, but it has been resolved.
Ensign Harry Kim : Well, that's not what I hear. I hear that the whole department's up in arms, that the Maquis and Starfleet people are almost at each other's throats.
Lieutenant Tuvok : I will never cease to be amazed by the Human capacity for hyperbole.

Captain Kathryn Janeway : We've managed to find a replacement for the transporter chief, but we still need an astrogation plotter, a chief engineer, medical support personnel.
Commander Chakotay : [handing her a PADD] I've made a list of several Maquis crew members who would make good officers.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : [giving it a once-over] B'Elana Torres? She was the one involved in that incident with Mr. Carey.
Commander Chakotay : That's right.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Just what job do you think she's suited for?
Commander Chakotay : Chief engineer.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : You're serious.
Commander Chakotay : Very.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : [moving on] Regarding Sickbay... we still need a chief medical officer.
Neelix : What about that electronic man down in Sickbay?
Lieutenant Tuvok : It is an emergency medical hologram, and its abilities are limited. It can only operate within the confines of Sickbay.
Lieutenant Tom Paris : Not to mention its lousy bedside manner.

Captain Kathryn Janeway : Mr. Tuvok, take the main deflector offline. Mr. Kim, reroute the port and starboard plasma flow to the main deflector. We can use it to generate a warp field.
Lieutenant Tuvok : Deflectors offline.
Ensign Harry Kim : Initializing plasma flow.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Release the warp particles.
Lieutenant Tom Paris : Scanning the singularity.
Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres : Anything?
Ensign Harry Kim : Not yet. Warp particles at full intensity.
Lieutenant Tom Paris : I'm picking up something; a slight irregularity. It could be a rupture in the event horizon.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Put it on screen.
Lieutenant Tom Paris : It is a rupture, Captain. It's 50 meters by... ten meters.
Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres : Oh, it's too small. It must have collapsed since we first passed through it.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : We found the crack. That's the important thing. Now, how do we make it bigger?
Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres : Put a wedge in it and force it open.

Commander Chakotay : It looks like we're running into more spatial distortions.
Ensign Harry Kim : I'm picking up a highly localized disturbance off the port bow.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : On screen.
[seeing the singularity]
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Mr. Tuvok?
Lieutenant Tuvok : It is another type-4 quantum singularity. Physical and temporal dimensions are identical to the one we encountered earlier.
Lieutenant Tom Paris : Captain, according to these readings, we've returned to our previous coordinates. This isn't another singularity. It's the same one.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : [going to Kim's station] Check the navigational logs. Confirm our position.
Ensign Harry Kim : Well, they show we've traveled 1.4 light-years away from the anomaly, but I've confirmed our position against the star chart. We're definitely back where we started. Doesn't make sense.
Lieutenant Tom Paris : They can't both be right. We're either still at the singularity or we're not.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Well, we can see the singularity, so I tend to believe that the external sensors are correct.
Lieutenant Tuvok : That would imply there was something wrong with the warp drive and the navigational logs.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Mr. Paris, lay in a course away from the singularity. This time at maximum warp. Ensign Kim, I want you to keep a sensor lock on the singularity. Verify that we're moving away from it. Engage.
Ensign Harry Kim : [the Voyager warps away] Distance from the singularity is 10 million kilometers and increasing.
Lieutenant Tom Paris : Warp engines holding steady. All systems report normal.
Ensign Harry Kim : 11 million. 12 million.
[tapping buttons on his console]
Ensign Harry Kim : I don't get it. Mr. Paris, have we altered course?
Lieutenant Tom Paris : No, we're still steady on 310, mark 215.
Ensign Harry Kim : Then something's really wrong here. It's ahead of us again.
