Robert Beltran credited as playing...
Cmdr. Chakotay
- Chakotay: When I was a boy, my grandfather started seeing things nobody else could see, hearing what nobody else could hear. He refused treatment. A couple of hyposprays a day, that's all he would have needed, but he was stubborn. He said his spirit was in pain, but that the wound must be honored. Crazy old man.
- The Doctor: [treating Chakotay's battered face] I've got a good mind to use a needle and thread, add a little authenticity to your fun.
- Chakotay: Be my guest.
- The Doctor: You'd like that - a manly scar above your eye. Chakotay, The Maquis Mauler.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Tuvok tells me you've got a mean left jab.
- Chakotay: [laughs] Never spar with a Vulcan.
- The Doctor: Even if this is some kind of alien communication, it could harm him, permanently.
- [...]
- Chakotay: Captain! When have we ever turned away from a first contact?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [to the Doctor] Send him back in the ring.
- Seven of Nine: The Borg have been aware of this phenomenon for many years. It's a zone where the laws of physics are in a state of flus - 'chaotic space."
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Why didn't sensors warn us in time?
- Seven of Nine: Chaotic space appears randomly and unexpectedly. The Borg have observed it throughout the galaxy
- Tuvok: Then why hasn't a Federation starship encountered anything like this?
- Seven of Nine: No doubt some have.
- Chakotay: Think of all the Strafleet vessels that disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
- Seven of Nine: Borg vessels are more advanced, but only one cube had survived an encounter with chaotic space.
- [first lines]
- Chakotay: [Chakotay is in hysterics and lying on a bio-bed] NO! Make them STOP!
- The Doctor: [to Seven] Anything?
- Seven of Nine: Nothing of relevance. His neural pathways are still fluctuating.
- Tom Paris: Doc! Can't you do something? Look how much he's suffering.
- The Doctor: If I sedate him we could lose any chance of making contact with the aliens!
- Chakotay: Get them OUT!
- The Doctor: Commander, can you hear me? Focus on the sound of my voice!
- Chakotay: I can't understand them! They won't SYOP TALKING!
- The Doctor: What are they saying?
- Chakotay: I DON'T KNOW! MAKE THEM STOP, PLEASE!
- Tuvok: [taking aim at Chakotay's boxing opponent] Thompson and Sharr, target the midsection. Ensign MacAlister, you and I will aim for the head.
- Chakotay: Set your phasers to kill!
- Boothby: Not exactly the Marquis of Queensberry rules now, is it? "Set to kill?" That's not even Starfleet. Put down the weapons, son.
- Tuvok: Tactical advice from an Academy groundskeeper?
