"Timeless" Line-by-Line

Paris: 23 simulations, 23 catastrophes! This is no sensor glitch. We've got to tell them.
 
CHAKOTAY: I looked at their findings, Captain. If we try to take that flight in the morning we'll be in escape pods by afternoon.
 
Kim: I've got an idea. It's tricky, but I think it could work. The trouble begins about 17 seconds into the flight. The phase variance kicks in and the slipstream becomes unstable. What we need is someone in a shuttle to ride the rapids ahead of Voyager.
 
TORRES: Yes, they could map the threshold of the Slipstream as it's forming and send the phase corrections back to us. That is a great idea, Harry.
 
KIM: Now, here's the tricky part. The shuttle will only be a couple of seconds ahead of Voyager. That doesn't give auto-navigation much time to compensate.
 
Kim: We can do this, Captain! Put me on that shuttle. I'll get Voyager through the Slipstream. What choice do we have? Take the drive offline? Months of work for nothing?
 
Tuvok: We built a highly experimental piece of technology. There were bound to be setbacks.
 
KIM: The benamite crystals at the heart of this engine have already started to decay. It could take years to synthesize more. I don't know about the rest of you, but I didn't do all this work just to be stopped by a point four two phase variance. No offense, Captain.
