"Counterpoint" Line-by-Line

[Saquist]

KASHYK: Your predicament? I don't expect it's been easy, thousands of light years from home, navigating by strange stars, Trespassing in other peoples space, ignoring their laws?

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: We're just trying to get back to Earth Inspector.

 

[Saquist]

Through Devore Imperium...

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: It's tough to avoid.

 

[Saquist]

KASHYK: Still most people make an effort. We don't exactly embrace outsiders.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Gaharay?

 

[Saquist]

KASHYK: It means strangers. Which brings me to a matter that could threaten our friendship. I've examined your crew manifest from our last inspection. Commander Tuvok, Ensign Vorik, Vulcans, Ensign Suder and Jarot. All telepaths and for some reason you failed to mention them.

Kashyk: Which brings me to a matter that could threaten our friendship. I've examined your crew manifest from our last inspection. Commander Tuvok, Ensign Vorik, Vulcans. Ensigns Suder and Jurot, Betazoids. All Telepaths, and yet for some reason you failed to mention them.

Moving on...

Janeway: For a very simple reason, they're dead. Tuvok, Vorik and Jurot died in a Shuttle Crash about 2 months ago. Suder was killed in a conflict with a species called the Kazon.

 

[Saquist]

Kashyk: That's fortunate, for you I mean. If I found you were harboring telepaths, I would have had to arrest you for breaking our cardinal protocol.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Janeway: They were valued members of my crew, Inspector, no criminals.

 

[Saquist]

Kashyk: Perhaps. Captain, do you trust me?

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Janeway: Not for a second.

 

[Saquist]

Kashyk: Exactly! And why should you? Trust has to be earned. It's gradual and yet it is the foundation of every relationship, professional and personal. It's also a concept alien to the telepathic races. Why take someone at their word when you can simply read their mind?

 

[LeadHead]

Prax: We've completed our inspection. There are no Telepaths aboard. However, their sensor logs indicate they deviated from their assigned course on two occasions.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Janeway: In both cases, to avoid ion storms.

 

[LeadHead]

Prax: Imperative thirty two, codicil six twenty six. All Gaharay vehicles that deviate from prescribed flight vectors will be impounded, their crews detained and relocated.

 

[Leandar]

Kashyk: Prax, it's clear the Captain didn't intend to break protocol. I expect we can overlook these infractions.

 

[LeadHead]

Prax: Sir? Yes Sir.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Kashyk: Captain, I'm a reasonable man, and you've been co-operative but consider this a reminder. You have a long trip through Devore space and good friends can be an asset.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: I'll keep that in mind.
