"Macrocosm" Line-by-Line

EMH: Captain, I promise I will tell you exactly what happened if you just lie still. Shortly after you left for the Tak Tak homeworld, we received a distress call from a nearby mining colony, a race called the Garans.

A flash back of that event.

They were experiencing, what appeared to be a minor viral outbreak.
 
GARAN MINER [on monitor]: Fever, disorientation. I think it's some kind of virus. Nothing serious, but if we don't stop it now, we'll be forced to shut down the operation.
 
EMH: A synthetic antigen may do the trick. However, it will have to be modified for this specific virus. I'd like to beam down to the mining colony and examine a few of the infected.
 
EMH: I'm the only member of this crew who can successfully enter a contaminated environment without risk. Besides, I've been looking forward to spreading my wings.
 
CHAKOTAY: Doctor, don't forget, you're not invulnerable. If anything happens to that portable emitter, your programme could be lost.
 
EMH: Don't worry Commander, I've been studying the Starfleet guidelines for away team members. For this particular scenario, medical emergency on alien terrain, it is recommended that we keep an open comm. channel at all times.
 
[EMH narrative - Garan Mine]

EMH: Away team to Voyager. Transport was successful and my portable emitter is working perfectly. I am scanning the mine shaft and proceeding on vector one four seven. Ambient temperature is sixteen degrees Celsius. Cavern illumination is minimal but doesn't pose a problem for my optical sensors. The cave walls are comprised of granite with a mixture of pyroclastic infusions...
 
Chakotay: (over comm) Doctor,

Voyager Bridge

Chakotay: I appreciate your attention to detail, but it's really not necessary. Let us know when you've found the miners.
