Twisted Line-By-Line

TORRES: I have been walking in circles for the past twenty minutes trying to get to Engineering.
 
(And around the corner comes -)
NEELIX: Kes, my sweet, you have many wonderful attributes. Your sense of direction is not one of them, because. Oh, er, Harry, B'Elanna. Maybe you can help us. I know you'll find this hard to believe, but we can't seem to find Kes's quarters.
 
[Holodeck - Sandrine's]

(The bar is an impromptu briefing room, with Gaunt Gary playing pool and an accordion player making music in the background.)
JANEWAY: Let me get this straight. This distortion ring has completely immobilised us. We have no means of communication with the Bridge or any other part of the ship. And no matter where any of us have tried to go, the Bridge, Engineering, Kes's quarters, we've all eventually ended up here right back at deck six.
 
KIM: The bridge is on deck one. Engineering is on deck eleven. deck six is halfway in between, right?
 
Kim: So if we're being surrounded by this ring, maybe it's pushing us all to the centre of the ship.
 
TORRES: But it's not just that we're being led back here. I mean, rooms are in the wrong place. Is it possible that this distortion ring is somehow changing the layout of the ship?
 
EMH: There is another possibility. Exposure to some types of EM radiation has been known to cause hallucinations. Perhaps it's not the ship that's undergone changes but rather your perception of it. Unfortunately, without my medical equipment to analyse your optic nerves, there's no way to tell.
 
JANEWAY: We'll never figure it out sitting here. We need more information about this phenomenon. Sensor readings, computer analyses. We have to find a way back to the Bridge.
 
TORRES: If we can't get back on foot or on the turbolift, maybe we can rig a site to site transport. Beam ourselves to the Bridge.
 
PARIS: When we tried to go to the Bridge, one of the places the turbolift took us was Engineering. Maybe if we repeated our steps, it'll take us back there.
 
KIM: Maybe we can get to the Bridge through a Jefferies tube. If I remember my ship specs correctly, there should be an emergency access conduit which leads directly from this deck to deck one right behind the Bridge.
 
CHAKOTAY: I'd like to keep trying to get to the Bridge on foot. If the ship has been reconfigured somehow, I can get a deck by deck picture of what it looks like as I go.
 
CHAKOTAY: I'll get a tricorder from the storage locker, rig it to emit a photoplasmic trail.
 
Janeway: Right. We should all get tricorders. Set them on active scan. Gather as much information as we can about what's happening to the ship.
