"Counterpoint" Line-by-Line

KASHYK: Well, it's a romantic notion, Captain, but one I can't allow you to indulge. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave our space immediately. Prax, why don't you check on our teams while I reiterate our protocols for Captain Janeway
 
Kashyk: Not yet, but our warships have been monitoring Voyager's movements for the past few days, and mine as well. I don't think we have much time. The Brenari?
 
Janeway: We've found it. It's twenty thousand kilometres off our port bow. We've determined that a photon torpedo properly calibrated will force open the threshold long enough for Voyager to get through.
 
KASHYK: Congratulations, Captain. For a while, I wasn't sure if even you could find it. Prax! Go to Cargo Bay one. You'll find the transporter patterns for more than a dozen telepaths. Rematerialise them.
 
You forgot Prax! :lol: Yes sir!

KASHYK: I'm the one who's impressed, with your selflessness, your humanity. It made all this so much easier.
 
Nah, he's just not important anymore! :lol: Sorry, I'm running on 3 hours of sleep and 4 cups of coffee.

Janeway: Oh. but what about your selflessness? That touching story about the little girl. Was that a fabrication, too?
 
KASHYK: Oh, that incident was real. What I didn't tell you was that after wrestling with my ethics I realised that I'd done the right thing in order to protect my people from a very real threat. Please. I insist.

KASHYK: Captain. [Janeway sits down in the XO's chair, Kashyk in the Captain's] Access their forward sensor array. You should find neutrino emissions at roughly twenty thousand kilometres off the port bow. On screen. Target two photon torpedoes. When the first one detonates the wormhole will open. Use the second one to destabilise its subspace matrix. That will destroy it. Prax, report!
 
KASHYK: Fire! [nothing happens, the torpedo flies off into space] It should have detonated. Those aren't neutrino emissions, they're antimatter residue signatures. There's no wormhole here. You created false readings.
