Kate Mulgrew credited as playing...
Capt. Kathryn Janeway
- Tuvok: I've detected a number of vessels monitoring us.
- Tom Paris: The vultures are circling.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Vultures eat the dead, Mr. Paris. We're not dead yet.
- [Janeway suggests an alliance with other aliens to try and escape the Void with combined forces]
- Chakotay: Then who are we going to form an alliance with?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Anyone who agrees to play by our rules: no killing, no stealing, and no giving up.
- General Valen: This new ship has impressive technology. We can share it.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm not here to divide the spoils.
- General Valen: Then why are you here?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: To protect this ship you're firing on.
- General Valen: What are they to you?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Just some people in a bad situation, like the rest of us.
- [Bosaal and Valen form an alliance of their own against Voyager]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm so glad we taught them the value of cooperation.
- General Valen: My scans show you have photon torpedoes.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm sorry, we don't trade weapons.
- General Valen: Why not?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Because we have no way of knowing what they'll be used for. Plundering innocent ships, for example.
- General Valen: Wait a few weeks until your resources start to run out. Morality won't keep your life support systems running.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm sorry, General. There are some compromises I won't make.
- General Valen: Not yet.
- Chakotay: We may not like Valen's tactics, but he and his crew are still alive after five years in here.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I was thinking about that myself. I thought maybe I could get some guidance from the Federation Charter. I was hoping I'd find a loophole that would allow us to... take actions we ordinarily wouldn't take.
- Chakotay: Any luck?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: The Charter's a statement of principles, not a practical document.
- Chakotay: No section on how to exist in a void.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: No, but I've become convinced that we've got to stick to our principles, not abandon them.
- Chakotay: Should the crew be ready to die for those principles?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: If the alternative means becoming thieves and killers ourselves, yes, but I'm betting that our principles are going to keep us alive.
- [last lines]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: It was almost like being part of a federation again.
- Chakotay: The real one's only 30,000 light years away.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Then what are we standing around for?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: You think I'm being inefficient, Tuvok thinks I'm being illogical. You both could be right, but maybe the best way to get help is to give it.
- Captain Bosaal: [spotting Fantome] What's that parasite doing aboard your ship?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I beg your pardon.
- Captain Bosaal: They're vermin.
- The Doctor: I don't know who you are, sir, but your choice of words is offensive.
- Captain Bosaal: What is offensive is he way they slip aboard during transport, hide in conduits, steal food, spread disease.
- The Doctor: Fantome is perfectly healthy - and unlike some people in this void, he hasn't stolen anything.
- Captain Bosaal: If my sensors could detect where they are on my ship, I'd exterminate them. I suggest you do the same.
