there's only one thing i know how to be, chakotay and that's kathryn janeway. i'd like to think and as much as she'd like to get her crew home i don't think she'd be willing to kill them in the process. maybe this dinner wasn't such a good idea after all. i've tried everything i can think of-- with replicated dna-- and i'm no closer to finding a cure. but i do have an idea. i'm listening. find the original voyager. if the real captain janeway were here we could sample her dna and imprint it onto your mimetic pattern. but, doctor, we have no way of knowing where they are. they could be behind us, ahead of us back on earth... destroyed. besides, even if we could find the real janeway how do we know she'd help? she's you. my emitter's starting to degrade. tuvok to the captain. sensors have detected a class-y planet. on my way. kim: it may not be home, it checks out. thermionic radiation... surface temperatures in excess of 500 kelvins. just what the doctor ordered. safe harbor? there's no guarantee this is going to work. harry, vent all plasma from the nacelles. g
