KES: Wait. I can see it.
KES: I think the problem is in her colliculli. Yes, I can see it. A Borg implant. It's pressing against her trochlear nerve.
KES: I think I can do more than tell you.

(Later, the EMH shows Janeway an artificial eye.)
EMH: They say the eye is the window to the soul. In this case it's a little bit more. I've fabricated this artificial organ to replace her eyepiece, but I've had to retain some of the Borg circuitry along the optic nerve. As a result, she'll have increased acuity in one eye. Note how perfectly I've matched the pigment of the iris to her human eye.

JANEWAY: Excellent work, Doctor. I admire your attention to detail. When can I speak with her?
TUVOK: Your performance today was astonishing. However, your psychokinetic powers are still undisciplined, and as a result, unpredictable. 
JANEWAY: What are you suggesting?
TUVOK: A series of guided meditations to help her explore the depth of these new abilities.
KES: I'm ready.
