Quotes 

• Captain Janeway : [on Tuvok's refusal to continue his unfinished holo-novel]  I'm more than just a captain. I'm the leader of a community, and communities need entertainment, culture, creative outlets. Since we're not exactly privy to every new piece of music or holo-novel that's written back home, I think it's only natural that we should start creating our own.

  Commander Chakotay : Besides, Tuvok, if the crew doesn't get an ending, you may have a real mutiny on your hands.

• Chakotay : Kathryn, don't try to be a hero. I've been reasonable so far. I'll allow you to keep the shuttle, I'll even transport you some extra provisions, but if you don't stand down, I will destroy your shuttle.

  Janeway : You've just threatened the wrong woman, Chakotay.

• Seska : [on Neelix]  Do you want me to shoot him?

  Chakotay : We're still going to need a cook.

• Commander Chakotay : I don't care what kind of story it is, as long as I'm not the bad guy this time.

• Chakotay : Take a good look around you. You're under armed guard. You may also notice that your senior officers aren't here. They're in the brig. They'll be put off the ship at the first habitable planet we come to - all except Janeway and Paris, who will arrive at their rendezvous co-ordinates to find that Voyager's not there. In short, I've taken control of the ship. I don't blame any of you for the mistakes of your leaders, so I'm giving you a choice: you can be put off the ship with your superiors or... you can do what Neelix and some of your other crew members have already done, and join me. If you do, you'll be part of a crew that's going to do whatever it takes to get us home as fast as possible. Under my command, we won't let almighty Federation principles get in the way of opportunities - the way Janeway did when she destroyed the array that could have gotten us home. And we won't be wasting precious time stopping to investigate every insignificant anomaly that we come across. What we will do... is use any means necessary to acquire technology that can shorten our journey. To hell with Starfleet regulations!
