"Macrocosm" Line-by-Line

Consul: (on monitor) The Garan Mining Colony infected. We purified them. Your distress call received. Voyager infected. We are purifying you.
 
Consul [on monitor]: No choice. No cure for the virus. Voyager's existence a threat. Your illness, our apologies.
 
Janeway: Wait! We've developed a cure, but your torpedoes just stopped us getting it to our crew and putting an end to this.
 
JANEWAY: Yes. A synthetic antigen. We've tested it and it works. I can prove it to you, and I'd be willing to share the antigen with your people, but first you've got to stop attacking my ship. Give me a chance to save my crew.
 
JANEWAY: Doctor, we've got a problem. That last torpedo destroyed the secondary power couplings. I can't...

[Shuttlecraft]

JANEWAY [OC]: ...get the Environmental Controls back online.
 
[Environmental Control]

JANEWAY: The only systems we still have access to are the ones with independent power sources. Shuttlecraft, life support, the holodecks. Doctor, you said the macroviruses are attracted to infra-red signatures.
 
JANEWAY: Right now you and I are the only targets left on board. What if we gave them something new to sink their teeth into?
 
Shuttlecraft

The Doctor: What are you suggesting?

Moments later, in a Holodeck, the resort program has been activated, holo characters wander about as normal until a swarm of large macroviruses attack.
 
[Environmental Control]

JANEWAY: Doctor, it seems to be working. I've programmed the holo-characters to react to the viruses. We don't have much time. Grab your hypospray and get to the crew. You've got a clear path to the Mess hall and both cargo bays.
 
JANEWAY: I've put together what you might call an antigen bomb. Now all I have to do is drop it.

(Janeway walks along a corridor to the open Holodeck doors. She sets the bomb timer for forty seconds but as she steps into the doorway to throw it, a macrovirus knocks her down and she drops both the bomb and her rifle. It lunges at her, and there is a struggle, until she rolls away and it bends its injector on the deck. She uses her knife to cut off one of its tentacles, then stabs it. With less than seven seconds left. she throws the bombs into the holodeck and runs away. There is an explosion of green gas.)
 
Shuttlecraft, The Doctor returns.

The Doctor: Doctor to Captain Janeway. Captain, please respond.
