Torat: Professor Kashyk? Never heard of you.
TORAT: Professor Kashyk? Never heard of you.
KASHYK: Not surprising, considering you toil in scientific obscurity.
Torat: Obscurity! I've discovered over sixty astronomical phenomena!
KASHYK: Not worth the sensors they were recorded on.
Janeway: There's no need to insult the man. Just because he doesn't know how to find an interspatial flexure.
TORAT: Interspatial flexure? Why didn't you say so in the first place. He said wormhole, a layman's term that that covers any number of phenomena. I am familiar with a certain anomaly that could be categorised as an interspatial flexure.
TORAT: Actually, a better question would be, where is it now? It's really quite interesting. The aperture of the phenomenon which I prefer to call an intermittent cyclical vortex is unfixed. It manifests infrequently for only brief periods of time and in varying locations. I can give you the last four locations. Perhaps you can extrapolate the next one, if you're as accomplished a scientist as you claim to be.
Janeway: Think.
Janeway: Think harder. Four wormhole appearances less than twenty light-years apart. There's no pattern.
JANEWAY: Didn't work.
Janeway: Every one I could find. This wormhole defies analysis. Maybe Torat was right. We're just out of our league.
KASHYK: It's not like you to give up. Think harder.
Janeway: How do you predict a random occurrence? 
KASHYK: You follow your instincts. Captain?
