CHAKOTAY: Try running those symbols inscribed on the base through the translation matrix. (reads) Words alone cannot convey the suffering. Words alone cannot prevent what happened here from happening again. Beyond words lies experience. Beyond experience lies truth. Make this truth your own.
JANEWAY: It's a memorial. We weren't victims of a conspiracy, we were witnesses to a massacre.
CHAKOTAY: More than witnesses. By being forced to relive those events, half the crew's been traumatised.
JANEWAY: Maybe that was the point. I certainly won't forget what happened here
CHAKOTAY: Anything in that database that might tell us who built this thing?
SEVEN: No. The technology has been neglected for more than two centuries. Its power cells are deteriorating
JANEWAY: That could explain why our memories were so fragmented. It was probably designed to transmit the experience in sequence.
JANEWAY: Yes, of course.
NEELIX: If we do that, all record of what happened here would be lost.
NEELIX: But that doesn't really tell the story. Someone put a lot of time and care into building that transmitter. We can't just deactivate it. We don't have the right
NEELIX: They wanted others to know what it was like, in the hopes that nothing like it would happen again.
NEELIX: Because that's how you learn not to make the same mistake. If we destroy the evidence, we're no better than Saavdra.
