what do you think, chakotay? announcer: the challenger... chakotay! don't you hear that? hear what? look. commander? are you all right? boothby: put on the gloves, son. i'm not ready. commander. computut: begin first round. bridge to sick bay ( doctor sings note ) very good. ( sings higher note ) mm-hmm. let's go to 880 hertz. music lessons? chakotay: pretty soon we'll be singing duets. i'm checking to see if there's been any damage to the auditory nerves-- nothing so far. his vision checks out as well. i'm afraid the source of the trouble may be a little... deeper. the family curse. what do you mean? a cognitive disorder-- sensory tremens. the primary symptoms are visual and auditory hallucinationons. my family doctor suppressed the gene before i was even born so i never had to go through what the others did-- like my y andfather. for some reason, the gene's been switched on. i'm not certain that's why chakotay thought he was getting ready for a prizefight but it's a good bet; the holodeck boxing simulation was fresh in his memory. a few misfiring neurons did the rest. this chaotic

despite my efforts chakotay's condition continues to deteriorate. chakotay: doctor! yes, commander? i'm tired. i want to sleep. it could sever your link with the aliens. aliens? the ones who live in this place. we're trapped here. they may know a way out. it's urgent that you speak with them. but i don't understand what t ty're saying. i can try to help you understand. i'm going to end up like my grandfather-- a crazy old man. no. you're not crazy. i believe the aliens are reconfiguring your neural pathways so they can communicate with you. do you remember the day yes. you were knocked downwnremember? i was injured. i came to see you. we had an argument. that's right. try to remember more about the holodeck. i was sparring with a terrellian... and boothby was there. he used to train me when i was a cadet. keep going. what round was it? three. round three. i was avoiding my opponent. stay away from the ropes, son. computer: end round three. that wasast so bad. it was terrible. am i missing something? he barely landed a glove on me. mm-hmm. give him time. you're not reading him. you t

chakotay: there is one option. go back. to the demon-class planet? we were created to survive there. he's correct. it's reasonable to assume that if we return to our native environment the degradation will cease. even if we survived the trip we'd be traveling thousands of light-years in the wrong direction. duplicate or not i'm still the same person i was yesterday and so are all of you... and that means we're going to do everything possible to complete our mission, which is to reach earth. is that clear? janeway: i want you yes, ma'am. to adjust the environmental controls to simulate a class-y planet. that should slow the rate of degradation. it's only a matter of time before the environmental controls themselves are affected. i realize that. that's why we're going to try and find a safe harbor till we can figure out a way to stop the degradation. class-y planet and set a course. in the meantime... i'll explain our situation to the crew. there's still a great deal we don't know about this phenomenon and i have every confidence we'll find a way to re

he's not responding. ( alarm blaring ) we've lost commander chakotay. duplicate or not he was real to me... and he was a fine starfleet officer. and... he was a friend... who... wasn't afraid to let me know when i am wrong. mr. kim bring the enhanced warp drive on-line. turn voyager around. captain... set a course... for the demon planet. if you're age 50-75, massmutual makes it easy to get quality life insurance coverage, about guaranteed acceptance life insurance. it's designed to help cover final expenses such as funeral costs, medical bills, and other debts. while no one wants to think about these costs, it's important to prepare for them. they're inevitable, and often add up to more than you think. without insurance, that expense could fall upon your loved ones. consider how long it would take to save $8,500-the average cost of a funeral today. but you can get the coverage you need amounts range from $2,000 to $25,000, so you can choose the one that fits your needs and budget. and payments can start at less than $10 a month. plus, your payments wil
