Briefing Room Chakotay: The mission proceeded as planned. We disabled their shield generators and entered the colony.
NEELIX: But then we came to the last enclosure. Do you remember the last enclosure? It was empty. Where were they? They were supposed to be there!
PARIS: Twenty four colonists unaccounted for. We thought the spotters had made a mistake. We should have known something was wrong. We should have gotten out then.
[Briefing room] PARIS: Those missing colonists, they were armed. They fired the first shots, it wasn't our fault!
CHAKOTAY: We can't be sure of that. It could have been one of our own people. Fatigue, a phaser malfunction, you just don't know!
