"Basics" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Kolopak: Then, it's a cause for celebration. You will make a fine father. You needn't worry.

 

[Admiral Shran]

CHAKOTAY: I'm not sure I'm willing to be a father to him.

 

[LeadHead]

Kolopak: Hmmm... Not willing?

 

[Admiral Shran]

CHAKOTAY: He was born without my consent. I had no part in it.

 

[LeadHead]

Kolopak: No part in it? Well, it's been a long time, so forgive me, but it seems that I had to play a part, before your mother would conceive.

 

[Admiral Shran]

CHAKOTAY: My DNA was taken from me, used by a woman to impregnate herself without my permission.

 

[LeadHead]

Kolopak: I see. You're trying to decide whether you should accept the child in your heart.

 

[Admiral Shran]

CHAKOTAY: It's more than that.

 

[LeadHead]

Kolopak: But it must begin with that!

 

[Admiral Shran]

CHAKOTAY: How do you take a child into your heart who is forced upon you by a mother's deception?

 

[LeadHead]

Kolopak: The chile knows nothing of deception. He is innocent. Centuries ago, when the women of our tribe were raped by white conquerors, many gave birth to their children, and we did not reject them. They were accepted by the tribe. One was a direct ancestor of ours Chakotay. His name... was Ce Acatl. He became a great leader of our people. Here is a man who was given life without his mother's consent. Are you so different from her? And is your child so different from Ce Acatl?

 

[Admiral Shran]

CHAKOTAY: No.

 

[LeadHead]

Kolopak: He is your son, Chakotay, and he is a child of our people.

Chakotay comes out of the vision.

[Briefing Room]

NEELIX: I've been in touch with the Talaxian mining colony on Prema II. They're willing to come to our assistance, if we run into trouble.

 

[LeadHead]

Paris: That's good for about 40 hours if we average Warp 2, after that, we're out of their comm range.

 

[Admiral Shran]

JANEWAY: Well, it's nice to know we have friends in the area. Thank you, Neelix.

 

[LeadHead]

Tuvok: I recommend a full diagnostic of our Tactical Array prior to the start of the mission, Captain.

 

[Admiral Shran]

JANEWAY: Agreed. But I want more from Tactical, Lieutenant. I want to anticipate a trap, and I want a few tricks up our sleeves if we need them.

 

[LeadHead]

Kim: Captain, I could reprogram the defector grid to make it look like we have help on the way. Excuse me, Doctor.

Kim switches the screen from the Doctor to a schematic.

 

[Admiral Shran]

TORRES: Echo displacement.
