PARIS: You, Tuvok?
"Worst Case Scenario" Line-by-Line

NEELIX: Not to mention talent. What a story!
TUVOK: I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding. The program is not a holonovel. It is a tactical training scenario. When you first invited the Maquis to join our crew, I believed that mutiny was a very real possibility. With that in mind, I began to write a training program for junior security officers to prepare them for such an eventuality.
PARIS: But you never finished it?
Tuvok: No. As the two crews began to work together, I concluded that the threat of an insurrection was increasingly unlikely. I realised the programme itself might exacerbate the very conflict I sought to avoid. Therefore, I deleted the scenario, or so I believed.
JANEWAY: Apparently you didn't account for B'Elanna's exceptional computer skills.
PARIS: Forget your carelessness. What you should be apologizing for is leaving us all hanging by a thread. You've got to finish the story.
TUVOK: On the contrary, Mister Paris. The program has the potential to incite animosity among the crew and must be permanently deleted. I have no doubt the Captain concurs.
TUVOK: As the Captain of this ship, surely you ...
Janeway: I'm more than just a Captain, I'm a leader of a community and communities need entertainment, culture, creative outlets. Since we're not exactly privy to every new piece of music or holonovel that's written back home. I think it's only natural that we start creating our own.
CHAKOTAY: Besides, Tuvok, if the crew doesn't get an ending, you may have a real mutiny on your hands.
TORRES: Oh?
JANEWAY: Good. Then it's settled. I, for one, can't wait to see if Captain Janeway manages to outwit the conspirators.
TUVOK: Since the captain insists on allowing you to proceed with this frivolous exercise, I thought you might benefit from the original probability studies I conducted before beginning the scenario.
