(Tuvok walks past Paris.)
PARIS: (sotto) Thanks.
PARIS: (sotto) Thanks.
PARIS: I guess Tuvok--
TORRES: Believe me, that wasn't our intention.
JANEWAY: You are senior officers and I expect you to maintain the standard for the rest of the crew, but this adolescent behavior makes me question my faith in you both. If you choose to pursue a relationship that's your business. But you consider yourselves under orders to use better judgment about it. Is that understood?
(Wow. She looks and sounds utterly miserable!)

TORRES: Yes, Captain.
[Chakotay's quarters]
CHAKOTAY: Computer, hot coffee, black.
(As he drinks his coffee, we once again see a scan showing his his skeleton and internal biology. He has a sudden spasm of pain and drops the cup. He goes to the sink and splashes water on his face. He runs his fingers through his hair, causing a sizable amount of it to fall out.)

EMH: Commander Chakotay is suffering bone decalcification, tissue necrosis, decreased visual acuity. All classic signs of aging, but they've developed within hours.
(Chakotay is an wrinkled, bald old man with lots of liver spots on his skin.)

CHAKOTAY: Any theories?
EMH: There's a rare genetic disorder called progeria which causes children to age prematurely. But there's never been an adult case and it was supposedly eradicated two centuries ago. Even so, I took a close look at your DNA. These segments regulate your body's metabolism. My scans indicate that they've been hyper-stimulated somehow.
JANEWAY: What's the prognosis?
JANEWAY: We spent several hours near a binary pulsar that was emitting intense gamma radiation.
CHAKOTAY: Our shields were operating. I don't see how I could have been exposed to it.
JANEWAY: At this point we can't rule out anything. I'm going to take a closer look at the data we collected.
