Annorax: Four billion years ago fragments from that comet impacted a planet. Hydrocarbons from those fragments gave rise to several species of plant life which in turn sustained more complex organisms. Ultimately several space-faring civilisations evolved and colonised the entire sector.
ANNORAX: Past, present and future. They exist as one. They breathe together. You're not the only person to make this mistake. When I first constructed this weapon ship I turned it against our greatest enemy, the Rilnar. The result was miraculous. With the Rilnar gone from history, my people, in an instant, became powerful again. But there were problems. A rare disease broke out among our colonies. Within a year, fifty million were dead. I had failed to realize that the Rilnar had introduced a crucial antibody into the Krenim genome and my weapon had eliminated that antibody as well.
ANNORAX: You can't imagine the burden of memory that I carry thousands of worlds, billions of lives gone, brought back, gone again. I try to rationalize the loss. They're not really being destroyed, because they never existed. Sometimes I can almost convince myself.
CHAKOTAY: You're right. But we don't destroy everything that stands in our way.
CHAKOTAY: I've still got a lot to learn.
KIM: Captain, with the deflector down those micro-meteoroids are beginning to erode the hull.
TUVOK: None available.
