1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,034 I've considered naming him after my husband. 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,194 It's been a tradition in his family for five generations. 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,397 I'm sure he'd be very pleased. 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,315 My husband's name is Greskrendtregk. 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,796 He's Ktarian. 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,715 Choosing a name is no easy matter. I speak from experience. 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,871 Have you had any progress? 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,431 I've reviewed historical and literary databases 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,195 from 500 worlds and have yet to find a suitable name. 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,480 However, I may want to give some thought to "Greskrendtregk". 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,510 To be honest, I've been thinking of something simpler. 12 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,559 - What do you think of "Cameron"? - I like it. 13 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,635 "Cameron". From the ancient Celtic term for "one whose nose is bent". 14 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,593 - What about "Frederick? - "Frederick". Very distinguished. 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,712 But it bares a close resemblance to an impolite term on the Bolian homeworld. 16 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,557 It doesn't have to be a human name. I like "Sural". It's Vulcan. 17 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,190 It was also the name of a dictator on Sakura Prime, 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,479 famed for beheading his rivals... and his parents. 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,349 - He won't object to "Benaren". - I've never heard that name. 20 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,239 I think it's lovely. Is it Ocampan? 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,270 "Benaren” was my father's name. He was the greatest inspiration of my life. 22 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,990 All science officers, please report to your stations. 23 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,630 - Your scans look fine, Ensign. - Thank you. 24 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,239 "Greskrendtregk" would make a good middle name. 25 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,595 You never suggested your father's name to me. 26 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,752 I thought you wanted a human name. 27 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,837 You were mistaken. 28 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,437 If you like "Benaren", use it. I'm sure she won't mind. 29 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,230 Won't mind that I just usurped her baby's name? 30 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,869 Thank you but no thank you. 31 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,557 My uncle's name was "Elram”. I once knew a boy named "Tarek". 32 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,439 There's not much left of whatever it was. 33 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,797 From the amount of debris, I'd guess it was a small ship, 34 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,917 no bigger than a shuttlecraft. 35 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,836 I'm not reading any organic material. It must have been unmanned. 36 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,789 - What happened to it? - The energy signature indicates 37 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,917 repeated weapons fire. 38 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,995 The wreckage is composed primarily of duritanium polyalloy. 39 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,280 - Duritanium? - Few weapons can damage it. 40 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,229 Transport some samples of the debris to engineering. 41 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,951 Continuous scans. We don't want to be caught by surprise. 42 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,949 - Any conclusions? - Afraid so. 43 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,431 We've identified the signature left by the weapons fire. 44 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,036 There's no question. It was Cardassian. 45 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,158 Could Seska be responsible? 46 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,476 No, Captain. I am. 47 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,319 The probe was destroyed by an experimental Cardassian weapon. 48 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,437 Sorry. 49 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,677 I recognise its signature 50 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,877 because I know this weapon well. 51 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,510 Chakotay and I got it when we were fighting the Cardassians. 52 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,718 - How did it get here? - The same way we did. 53 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,837 We saw it last in the Badlands, 54 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,911 where we were picked up. 55 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,071 The Cardassians sent it 56 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,311 to destroy a Maquis munitions base. 57 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,030 We called it "Dreadnought.” It's a self-guided missile 58 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,831 carrying 1,000 kilos of matter and another 1,000 of anti-matter. 59 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,230 Enough to destroy a small moon. 60 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,952 And one of the most sophisticated computer systems I've ever seen. 61 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,478 The missile is adaptable, evasive, armed with defensive weaponry. 62 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,794 - In other words, unstoppable. - So how did you stop it? 63 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,793 We didn't. It got through our defences. 64 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:04,033 Worked like it was supposed to except for one detail - it didn't go off. 65 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,875 Rely on the Cardassians to build such an advanced weapon 66 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,634 and arm the warhead with an old detonator. 67 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,395 It skipped off into the atmosphere and went into orbit. 68 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,517 I got inside it 69 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,479 and reprogrammed the computer. 70 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,679 I didn't just reprogram it. I changed its identity. 71 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:27,435 It wasn't Cardassian. Now it was working for the Maquis. 72 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,436 We made its mission to destroy the Cardassian fuel depot on Aschelan V. 73 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,720 But it never made it. We thought it had been destroyed in a plasma storm. 74 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,394 So how do we stop this weapon? 75 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,235 Dreadnought masks its warp trail with a randomised EM field. 76 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,960 I can modify our sensors to cut through that. 77 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,829 - What are we going to do with it? - I get back inside it. 78 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,391 I know all the security codes. I installed them myself. 79 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,837 Paris can assist you with the navigational sensors. 80 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,799 Keep me informed. Dismissed. 81 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,837 Lieutenant. 82 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,198 I expect everyone to show up on time and properly dressed. 83 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,716 Yes, sir. 84 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,874 There's a lot of distortion in the upper frequencies. 85 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,636 Better. Now let's try filtering out the ion radiation. 86 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,710 You must be really worried about catching this thing. 87 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,918 Chakotay wasn't telling the whole truth. 88 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,835 We didn't sent Dreadnought on a mission against the Cardassians. 89 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,712 I was the one who sent it. Without asking him. 90 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,599 You were afraid he'd say no. 91 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,349 After I did it, he pulled me aside and I was ready to defend myself. 92 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,390 I was so sure that I'd anticipated everything that could go wrong. 93 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,919 I programmed it to warn Federation ships to stay away... in my own voice. 94 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,310 Your voice? 95 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,235 That Cardassian computer's voice drove me crazy. 96 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,077 I don't blame you. 97 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:35,395 Anyway, Chakotay looked at me... I didn't know him very well yet... 98 00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:40,475 and all he said, in that damned soft voice of his, 99 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,474 was that I'd hurt him. 100 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,638 That he thought he'd earned my trust and loyalty. 101 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,270 I was so glad when it disappeared into the Badlands. 102 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,717 I remember thinking, "Thank God, it's over." 103 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,232 But it's not. 104 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:10,238 And if anything happens here because of Dreadnought... it's my fault. 105 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,119 No one else's. 106 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,789 You took a risk. You were thinking like a Maquis. That was a different life. 107 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,996 Tell me about it. 108 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,314 You know, I've been surprised at how well you've been able to fit in here. 109 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,954 A little envious, too. 110 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,110 What's been going on with you lately? 111 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,271 Going on? How? 112 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,753 - People are starting to talk. - Are they? 113 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,949 - People like who? Chakotay? - No, I mean people like me. 114 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,680 Like today. Look at yourself. 115 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,074 Coming to a briefing late? 116 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,359 And is it true that you had a fight with Lieutenant Rollins? 117 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,515 He was unhappy that my conn reports weren't punctuated properly, 118 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:15,038 according to Starfleet protocol. I didn't like his attitude. 119 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,670 - Was he right about your reports? - We're in the Delta Quadrant! 120 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,276 Nowhere near Starfleet. What difference... 121 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,357 Yeah. He was right. 122 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:34,709 I'm the one who's been wrong. Wrong about a lot of things. 123 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,278 Why don't we run a multiphasic sweep? 124 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,351 I'm picking up the trail again. New heading 196, mark 4. 125 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,673 This course is erratic. Are we following a single warp trail? 126 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,631 The navigational system has been operating for longer than intended. 127 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,556 No, it's following one of the evasive patterns I programmed into it. 128 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,030 It must have observed us following. 129 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,478 - I've got it on long-range sensors. - No, that's only a sensor echo. 130 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,554 It deflects its image up to 100,000 kilometres from its location. 131 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:24,159 The next time you get a heading, look for a brief surge in neutrino emissions. 132 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,675 That will be the real thing. 133 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,078 Got it. Elevated neutrino levels. Locking in coordinates. 134 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,880 - It's within visual range. - On screen. 135 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,593 Its targeting scanners have been activated. 136 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,637 It's not supposed to do that until it's locked on to its final target. 137 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,672 It's heading for a planet ten light years away. 138 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,595 At its current speed, it will get there in about three weeks. 139 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,152 The planet is Class-M. I'm reading several heavily populated areas. 140 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,473 Seska will want to know about this missile. 141 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,952 Mr Jonas, your enthusiasm is appreciated. 142 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,750 But I want to know more about it before I tell Maje Cullah. 143 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,594 If I could just talk to Seska... 144 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,914 As I explained, I have now been assigned to be your control. 145 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,469 Does she know how much I've helped you? 146 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,474 What the maje shares with her is none of my concern. 147 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,439 But you are in good hands, my friend. 148 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,558 Now tell me more about this weapon you've found. 149 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,669 Just tell Seska that it's better armed than the entire Kazon-Nistrim sect. 150 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,720 That's very interesting. What more can you tell me that... 151 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,953 Someone's about to make a transmission. They may detect us. 152 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,674 I have to terminate. 153 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,549 I am Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation starship Voyager. 154 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,997 First Minister Kellan, Captain. What is it you want? 155 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,156 Your world has long-range tracking abilities. 156 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,275 We have been observing your course. 157 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,196 Have you detected the missile on a parallel course off our starboard bow? 158 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,479 We haven't been able to identify what it is, but yes. 159 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,399 You should know that this missile has a significant destructive force. 160 00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:48,270 - Is this some sort of threat? - On the contrary. We want to help. 161 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,594 I find that hard to believe. Your reputation precedes you, Captain. 162 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,276 You've threatened many races since your arrival here. 163 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,149 We're aware the Kazon have been telling that to people. 164 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,837 They'd like to prevent us from making allies. You've been misled. 165 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,072 And yet you are sending this missile toward us. 166 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,279 The missile arrived here due to a very unusual accident. 167 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,910 We can't determine why it's targeting Rakosa, 168 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,278 but we're preparing to disarm it before it reaches you. 169 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,150 You may be telling me this to delay our defensive response. 170 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,518 I could have maintained silence and not warned you at all. 171 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,117 That's true. Nevertheless, I am placing our defence force on alert. 172 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,353 - I'd do the same in your place. - We will be watching you closely. 173 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,353 Janeway to Torres. When will you be ready? 174 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,150 Dreadnought has responded to my codes. I'm ready now. 175 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,357 - Proceed. - Energise. 176 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,915 Entry detected. Initiating DNA scan. 177 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,997 B'Elanna Torres confirmed. 178 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,030 Hello, B'Elanna. Your last systems access was on stardate 47582. 179 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,316 Current date is 49447, 180 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,678 Time, 0840 hours.

Direct hit to the core. 286 00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:53,116 Energy build-up in its reactor. It should overload in 30 seconds. 287 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:59,196 Wait a minute... There's a plasma surge coming from its core. What the hell...? 288 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,920 Report. 289 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,914 It sent a plasma burst into our main power system. 290 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,117 It's burnt out our EPS relays. 291 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,750 No response from the warp or impulse drives. 292 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,150 Even the manoeuvring thrusters are out. 293 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,200 The missile was not damaged. It has maintained its course. 294 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,232 Our engines will be back on-line in an hour, then we'll try again. 295 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,997 - Did you sustain any casualties? - A few.

Wait for death to fall from the sky? 302 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,990 I'm sorry. We haven't had much sleep. 303 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,033 We weren't prepared for this. We are not a war-like race. 304 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,431 We haven't devoted resources to building weapons. 305 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,480 - First Minister... - Please. I hate that title. 306 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,718 My name is Kellan. I prefer that. 307 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,793 Our chief engineer is trying to return to the missile. 308 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:43,319 She's our best chance at disarming it. There's no reason to send your fleet. 309 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,600 I appreciate your efforts. Truly. But the decision has been made. 310 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,509 We have some good pilots. Perhaps they will surprise you. 311 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,197 Blocked again. 312 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,398 - We don't have time for this. - We'll find a way to get you there. 313 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,870 I should have done my job right before. 314 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,238 - You couldn't guess its every move. - Why not? It guesses mine. 315 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,438 - It's only as smart as you made it. - I'm not sure. 316 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,230 It's been accumulating data all this time. 317 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,995 It thinks about new strategies, new probabilities. 318 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,119 And it doesn't think about what it could have done differently. 319 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,754 All right, Starfleet. Let's give it another try. 320 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,759 Unauthorised entry detected. Initiating DNA scan. 321 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:08,752 Hello, B'Elanna.

The Rakosan ships have retreated. 365 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,158 We have one hour till the missile reaches the planet. 366 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,870 Dreadnought's replaced the systems I disabled. 367 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,031 Do you have any other ideas? 368 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,989 I'm reluctant to discuss them in present company. But could you... 369 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,157 Captain? 370 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,315 Communication terminated. Transporter lock disengaged. 371 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,357 What took you so long? 372 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,720 There was a tactical advantage in monitoring your communications. 373 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,595 It's just you and me now. 374 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,517 You are accessing the detonation control circuit. 375 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,560 Probability suggests you are trying to detonate the explosive 376 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,394 before it reaches its target. 377 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,316 That wouldn't make much sense. I'd be killing myself in the process. 378 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,269 Probability suggests you are trying to detonate the explosive 379 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,431 before it reaches its target. 380 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,959 If I'm being coerced by Cardassians, why would I sacrifice myself for them? 381 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,350 Answer that one. 382 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,479 Unable to respond. Reassessing probabilities. 383 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,517 Gotcha. 384 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,154 Why don't we reassess them together? 385 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,193 Remember how we played hypothetical games? 386 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,954 - Affirmative. - Let's play one now. 387 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,396 Here's a hypothetical situation. 388 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,871 Suppose I've been telling you the truth all along, 389 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,032 and you really are in the Delta Quadrant. 390 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,593 Probability of being 75,000 light years from last confirmed location is small. 391 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,832 Hypothetical, Dreadnought. It's a game. 392 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,469 - Assume it's true. - Assumption entered. 393 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,678 We're heading for the wrong target. 394 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,356 Millions of innocent people about to die when you detonate. 395 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,319 Explain to me how this might happen. 396 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,632 If key sensor programs were damaged or deleted, 397 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,838 data banks would be compromised. 398 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,710 Just for the fun of it, let's have a look at those data banks. 399 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,760 See if anything looks at all compromised. 400 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,634 Is this a complete file directory? There seem to be a few missing. 401 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,191 Files about the weapons and tactical systems 402 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,318 are not necessary to verify sensor accuracy. 403 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,233 I'm hurt. You don't trust me. 404 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,356 Hold on. Pause the display. 405 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,797 What's that? Computer, identify the Cardassian file on screen. 406 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,270 Unable to identify. 407 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,316 Looks like a backup file. 408 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,598 Computer, when was this file created? 409 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,878 Stardate 46437.5. 410 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,470 That was before you and I ever met. 411 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,759 Hypothetical game terminated. Probability reassessment complete. 412 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,036 - A new conclusion? - Affirmative. 413 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,477 Probability of being in the Delta Quadrant remains negligible. 414 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,953 New probability assessment indicates that you have changed loyalties. 415 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,159 You are cooperating with the Cardassian-Federation Alliance, 416 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,393 as described in a treaty which has been rejected by the Maquis. 417 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,598 Humanoid life support has been terminated. 418 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,750 Approaching target at full impulse. 419 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:52,199 Stage-1 alert has been activated. Initiating final detonation sequence. 420 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,796 People are trying to get off the eastern continent. There aren't enough ships. 421 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,590 There are still 41 minutes for us to prevent this. 422 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,479 What can be done in 41 minutes? 423 00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:19,476 I'll use this ship to detonate the warhead before it reaches you. 424 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,790 Use your ship? 425 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,350 - To collide with it? - Something like that. 426 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,991 - Do you think that would work? - I'm not sure. 427 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:36,997 You would sacrifice yourselves to benefit a people you don't even know? 428 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,870 To save two million lives? That's not a hard decision. 429 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,236 Your reputation in this quadrant isn't deserved. 430 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,352 For what it's worth, you have made a friend here. 431 00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:57,677 I still hope we'll have a chance to celebrate our friendship together. 432 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,994 All key systems are secured. You will not gain access. 433 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,074 I'm not interested in your key systems any more. 434 00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,914 That is an unlikely assertion, B'Elanna. 435 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,469 Seriously. Check for yourself. 436 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,753 You are attempting to access the obsolete Cardassian file. Why? 437 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,116 Just killing time. 438 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:36,195 Life support has been terminated. It is advisable to return to your ship. 439 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,912 I believe our best chance at stopping Dreadnought now 440 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,755 is to set off a large antimatter explosion directly in its path. 441 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,878 It would take more energy than all our photons. 442 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,271 More to the point, it would take a warp core breach. 443 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,316 You'll be in charge of the evacuation. 444 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,352 - I'm not leaving you. - Captain's prerogative. 445 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,912 Get the rest of the crew to the escape pods.
