Prey Line-by-Line

[Orac]

7: No. Your decision is tactically unsound. We will be surrounded by Hirogen ships in approximately 2 hours. If we do not surrender the creature, they will destroy us. A lesson in compassion will do me little good if I am dead.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: It is wrong to sacrifice another being to save our own lives.

 

[Orac]

7: I have observed that you have been willing to sacrifice your own life to save the lives of your crew.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

JANEWAY: Yes, but that's different. That was my choice. This creature does not have a choice.

 

[Rocky6]

SEVEN: It invaded our ship, put our lives at risk to save its own. In my view, it has already forfeited its freedom.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: I'm giving you an order. Report to Deflector Control and begin working on creating a singularity.

 

[Rocky6]

SEVEN: I will not comply. I have agreed to remain on Voyager. I have agreed to function as a member of your crew. But I will not be a willing participant in my own destruction or the destruction of this ship.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: Objection noted. We'll do this without you.

 

[Orac]

7: You will fail.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: And you have just crossed the line. End of debate. Report to the Cargo Bay and remain there until this is over. Is that understood?

 

[Rocky6]

[Bridge]

(The Hirogen have arrived, shooting.)
KIM: Shields down to eighty four percent.

 

[Oddish]

JANEWAY: "Return fire."

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

PARIS: Three more ships are closing from port and starboard. All escape trajectories have been cut off.

 

[May 20]

TUVOK: Our weapons are having little effect on their hull plating. I'm scanning for weaknesses in the molecular structure.

 

[Rocky6]

KIM: Shields at seventy nine percent.

 

[Orac]

Tuvock: They are hailing us.

 

[Rocky6]

JANEWAY: Better late than never. Open a channel.

 

[May 20]

HIROGEN [on viewscreen]: You've taken our prey and one of our hunters. Surrender them.

 

[Orac]

Janeway: Call off your attack and we'll return your crewman. As for your prey, it's under our protection now.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

HIROGEN: It belongs to us.
