[Holodeck two - Klingon battle simulation]
JANEWAY: Prepare to meet your ancestors! This battle is yours today,
but the House of Mo'kai will never yield.
ALPHA: KasKree! Move away, coward. I want to make this kill.
JANEWAY: You should have killed me when my back was turned.
ALPHA: I want to see the fear in your eyes.
JANEWAY: Look closely and you'll see your own destruction!
ALPHA: You are resilient prey.
JANEWAY: I'm no one's prey!
ALPHA: You are mine. Now, and after death. Sickbay, this is Holodeck two.
Janeway requires medical assistance.
[Sickbay]
HIROGEN MEDIC: She'll survive.
ALPHA: What about her neural interface?
HIROGEN MEDIC: Stable.
ALPHA: Are you sure? There were times when she seemed aware of who she is.
HIROGEN MEDIC: Impossible. I was monitoring the crew during the entire simulation.
She believes she's whoever we program her to be. Shall I return her to the Klingon simulation?
ALPHA: No. Bring her to Holodeck one. I've found another program I want to try.
A conflict that took place on her own planet. It should prove stimulating.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
SEVEN: Wrong, would it be wrong to kiss, seeing I feel like this.
Would it be wrong to try? Wrong, would it be wrong to stay,
Here in your arms this way, Under this starry sky?
If it is wrong ...[song continues under dialogue]
JANEWAY: Welcome to Le Coeur de Lion! I'm Katrine. The first round is with my compliments,
on one condition. You leave the war outside. More escargot for table nine.
Jacque, no lady tonight? Oh, we'll have to see what we can do about that.
Forgive my neglecting you. Now, where were we? Ah, yes, my latest
adventure in Paris. I'm afraid I have to neglect you again. Excuse me.
TUVOK: That's him.
JANEWAY: Our new Kommandant?
TUVOK: British intelligence believes he's been sent to oversee the occupation of the city.
JANEWAY: What's his history?
TUVOK: He served with Rommel in North Africa and Schmidt in Poland.
He is a formidable military strategist, notorious for his cruelty.
JANEWAY: Ah. Let's make him feel at home. Send him a bottle of Chateau LaTour. My compliments.
TUVOK: The '29?
JANEWAY: I hate to waste good wine. Give him the '36.
TUVOK: As you wish.
SEVEN: ...and I have waited so long. It must be right, it can't be wrong.
Merci. Be generous to Claude this evening. Without him, my voice is empty. Good evening.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Sing.
SEVEN: Tonight's performance is over. Return tomorrow.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Now.
SEVEN: Remove your hand.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Obey me, or I will hunt you down and your bones will adorn the bulkhead of my ship.
ALPHA: Sit down and play the game. In this setting, we have no ships. We are an ancient race
of soldiers intent upon conquering this world. Play the game.
JANEWAY: Now, now, what's this? Mademoiselle LeNeuf will be happy to sing another song.
Just give her a few minutes to freshen up.
SEVEN: It's late.
JANEWAY: Freshen up.
SEVEN: Very well.
JANEWAY: Kommandant Karr.
ALPHA: You know me.
JANEWAY: Your reputation precedes you. I'm Katrine. Le Coeur de Lion is my establishment. The first
round is with my compliments, on one condition. You leave the war outside.
ALPHA: I wish to speak with her. Alone.
JANEWAY: Charming gentleman.
ALPHA: He is disoriented. Your world is unfamiliar to him.
JANEWAY: He'll be comfortable soon enough. The arms of friends are open to all.
ALPHA: I've heard otherwise.
JANEWAY: What do you mean?
ALPHA: I understand there is opposition to our presence here, among your citizens.
JANEWAY: The Resistance? In Paris perhaps, but this is a small city, defenceless.
We've learned to be a little more diplomatic. When this war is over we want to remain
on good terms with the victor.
ALPHA: Whoever that may be.
JANEWAY: Whoever that may be.
ALPHA: Your city may be defenceless, but it's crucial to the war. Any ground assault
into Germany must pass through this province. The Resistance will come here.
JANEWAY: If they do, I'll tell them what I tell everyone. Leave the war outside.
ALPHA: Excellent.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Kommandant, I've been informed there's a problem in the
Engineering section. The warp plasma network has become unstable.
JANEWAY: What's he talking about?
ALPHA: It need not concern you. To the hunt.
JANEWAY: The hunt?
ALPHA: For the Resistance. I shall take great pleasure in tracking them down and making the kill.
JANEWAY: Au revoir.
JANEWAY: How'd we do?
SEVEN: Insufficient for a Saturday night. Twelve hundred forty seven francs and
eighty one Reich marks.
JANEWAY: Well it should be enough to buy an oscillator to extend the
range of our radio. First thing tomorrow morning I want you to
take a little trip to the countryside. There's a Monsieur Goulot who
has a cottage just past the third bridge. He's got a wine cellar full of
vacuum tubes. Tell him we need a high frequency oscillator. Offer him
three hundred francs but don't go any higher than five hundred.
SEVEN: We have more pressing needs.
JANEWAY: Such as?
SEVEN: Explosives. We need a launcher that can fire armour piercing
grenades.
JANEWAY: Planning on blowing up a German tank?
SEVEN: If necessary.
JANEWAY: We're not trying to build an army here.
SEVEN: Maybe it's time we did. Three more German battalions have
occupied the city and a Panzer division is holding position eleven
kilometres away. When the Americans arrive and the fighting begins I
don't intend to be standing next to a piano singing Moonlight Becomes You.
JANEWAY: The Americans won't even be able to approach this city without
our help, and if they can't liberate Sainte Claire the assault into
Germany could fail. We need to be gathering information about German
troop movements and relaying it to Allied Command.
SEVEN: I'm tired of lighting the Nazi's cigarettes and laughing at
their jokes. We should be helping the Allies by assassinating these pigs.
JANEWAY: The moment we start shooting we expose ourselves. Right now, no one
suspects us, and I am not about to risk our entire operation because you've
suddenly developed a nervous trigger finger.
SEVEN: That is your opinion, Madame.
JANEWAY: I'm the leader of the movement here and right now my opinion is
the only one that counts, so get the oscillator. I think we're all feeling
the strain. It's been a hard four years, but believe me, the Third Reich
is feeling it too. We just have to hang on a little while longer. Word
from the Americans is going to come any day.
SEVEN: Perhaps.
TUVOK: Again?
JANEWAY: Again. Why is she so adamant? What she's proposing would put us all at risk.
TUVOK: Maybe that's her intention.
JANEWAY: If you have suspicions, my old friend, let's hear them.
TUVOK: From the beginning, she's been argumentative, and on more
than a few occasions she's disobeyed your direct orders.
JANEWAY: She's headstrong. Typical of the underground.
TUVOK: Nevertheless, her behaviour has threatened our identities.
JANEWAY: She's the only munitions expert we have, and she can carry a tune.
We need her. Let's keep our eye on her. Have her followed for the next few days. If she is
a Nazi infiltrator we'll have to eliminate her.
[Sainte Claire - Street]
NEELIX: Bonjour Madame. Put it on my account. Guten Tag.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: You! Halt! Get off your vehicle. What are you transporting?
NEELIX: Nothing but the very essentials of life.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Proceed to your destination.
NEELIX: That I will. That I most certainly will.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: If the choice were mine you would already be dead.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
RADIO: All report rain. It's currently fifty nine degrees in Dover with low fog across the Channel.
Temperatures are expected to range from forty five degrees to
TORRES: Damn, I'm missing it.
TUVOK: Our most recent intelligence shows two German divisions here and here.
JANEWAY: How recent is this intelligence?
TUVOK: Forty eight hours.
JANEWAY: Old news.
RADIO: Is Reginald Smith and you're listening to the British Radio Network. This report will
repeat in
TORRES: Forty five seconds.
RADIO: Forty five seconds.
TORRES: Here's to English precision.
JANEWAY: We're closed.
NEELIX [OC]; Morning delivery.
JANEWAY: You're late. What happened?
NEELIX: Oh, just a tête-à-tête with a member of the Master Race.
JANEWAY: That's the second time this week. Sounds like they're increasing their patrols.
TUVOK: Perhaps it's time we chose another courier. Our baker is arousing suspicion.
NEELIX: There's no need to worry. I change my route every day, and I've
become quite friendly with most of the Gestapo. They just love my strudel.
RADIO: A kind thank you to Jazzy McNulty and his Band. Now, the weather for today,
September the twenty second, nineteen forty four. In London skies are grey, with
a strong chance of afternoon rain. Temperatures will range from a low of fifty two
degrees to a high of seventy one. The northern coast reports heavy rain, strong winds and
ocean swells reaching four feet. Devon-shire, Hertford-shire and Solent-shire
all report rain.
It's currently fifty nine degrees in Dover with low fog across the Channel. Temperatures are
expected to range from a low of forty five degrees to a high of sixty three. I am
Reginald Smith and you are listening.
TORRES: Got it. Let's see the code key.
JANEWAY: Every fifth letter, every third vowel. Use the Sunday decryption sequence.
A, H, C. Straight from Allied High Command.
NEELIX: It must be important.
TUVOK: All messages regarding the war are important. It's only a matter of degree.
NEELIX: I suppose you're right but do you have to be so logical about everything?
TUVOK: In any covert battle, logic is a potent weapon. You might try it sometime.
JANEWAY: American Fourth Infantry to invade Sainte Claire Tuesday dawn.
NEELIX: That's two days from now.
JANEWAY: Require assistance. Disable enemy communications. End message.
TUVOK: The German radio transmitter is housed at their Headquarters.
NEELIX: That building is surrounded by guards. We can't just waltz in there
and plant a bomb.
TORRES: Maybe I can help.
JANEWAY: How?
TORRES: I'm upset. I need to see my special friend,
even if it means bothering him at the office.
TUVOK: A reconnaissance mission.
TORRES: I'll try to locate the radio, see where the guards are posted,
examine the locks, gather enough information to get us inside.
JANEWAY: It's too dangerous. If you're caught you'll be tortured for information.
TORRES: You don't know my friend. He would never do anything to harm his own child.
JANEWAY: Encode a response to Allied Command. Confirm that we're received their message.
Tell them we're proceeding according to plan.
[Saint Claire - Street outside German HQ]
GUARD: Was es ist, Fräulein.
TORRES: Ich muß mit ihrem Hauptmann sprechen.
GUARD: Kommen hier.
[Commandant's Office]
NAZI KAPITAN: Ever since my days at the university I've admired this painting and now it's mine.
Our fellow officers might prefer gold or land, but for me the greatest prize of war is art.
ALPHA: Trophies of the hunt, but was the hunt fair?
NAZI KAPITAN: Sir?
ALPHA: We entered this city with superior firepower against a weakened prey.
Do you really deserve these prizes?
NAZI KAPITAN: We are German. The German people deserve Europe and everything in it.
ALPHA: Why?
NAZI: Sir, you question our destiny?
ALPHA: Of course not. But I want to hear it in your own words. Tell me, why
are we the Master Race?
NAZI KAPITAN: Our blood is pure. Our people lived and hunted on this land for a
thousand years before the degenerate races brought their corruption. Europe must be purified.
ALPHA: You, yourself, are you stronger than these degenerate races? More cunning?
NAZI KAPITAN: Yes, of course.
ALPHA: And if you were alone without an army supporting you, would you continue the hunt? If your
Prey were armed instead of defenceless, what then?
NAZI KAPITAN: I, Colonel, I, I don't know what you're trying
ALPHA: You are superior to no one! Never underestimate your prey or
disrespect its abilities. If you do, you will become the hunted. When the
opposing army invades this city, remember my words. Enter.
NAZI KAPITAN: Brigitte.
TORRES: I'm sorry, I know I'm not supposed to come here. Don't blame him.
I told him that I was ill, that I had to see you.
ALPHA: I will leave you two alone.
NAZI KAPITAN: Heil Hitler! It's all right, the Colonel is in a strange mood today.
What's wrong? Is it our child?
TORRES: I don't know. I was dizzy.
NAZI KAPITAN: I'll call the Doctor.
TORRES: No, I feel better now. Maybe I just needed to see you. Why haven't you shown me this place
before?
NAZI KAPITAN: I didn't want your neighbours to see you coming here. They make it
difficult enough, knowing we're together.
TORRES: I don't care what they think. It's beautiful.
NAZI KAPITAN: Prax Atilles, master sculptor of ancient Greece. There are only
three like this in all of Europe.
TORRES: So many wonderful things.
[Sainte Claire - Street]
HIROGEN SS CAPTAIN: The Kommandant would have us continue this simulation until we rot. It's pointless.
We should begin the hunt. He believes we must learn more about our Prey but I have
learned enough. Ready your weapon. Avoid the cranium.
SEVEN: This way.
NEELIX: But the message.
SEVEN: No time!
HIROGEN SS CAPTAIN: Computer, exit holodeck. We'll take them to the medical bay.
[Sickbay]
HIROGEN MEDIC: This neural interface has been damaged.
EMH: That's because it took a direct hit. One of your bullets grazed the
base of her skull.
HIROGEN MEDIC: I'll provide you with another. Install it.
EMH: Not until I've repaired her injuries.
HIROGEN MEDIC: How long?
EMH: She has two fractured vertebrae and a punctured lung. Another hour at least.
HIROGEN MEDIC: Him?
EMH: I've stabilised his vital systems, but he still has bullet fragments lodged in his shoulder.
HIROGEN MEDIC: I will treat him.
EMH: This time you might do a better job repairing the muscle lacerations. The
last crewmember you treated was brought back in with internal bleeding.
HIROGEN MEDIC: Your crew is fragile. They fall too easily.
EMH: What do you expect? They've been stabbed, shot, beaten, phasered and bat'lethed the
past three weeks. Their bodies weren't designed for this kind of punishment!
ALPHA: What happened?
HIROGEN MEDIC: These prey were hunted by Turanj. Their injuries are severe.
EMH: You assured me that your people would avoid causing serious head injuries.
Another centimetre and the bullet would have penetrated her brain. If you can't
keep your people under control then you should put an end to this blood sport.
ALPHA: The simulations will continue.
EMH: At least activate the holodeck safety protocols.
ALPHA: No.
EMH: It'll prevent life-threatening injuries., for your people as well!
ALPHA: It will also eliminate the challenge.
EMH: I have had twenty eight wounded and one fatality in the past twelve hours.
Even I can't keep up with that level of triage.
ALPHA: You will keep up or they will die. Their lives are in your hands, Doctor. Don't fail them.
When that one is ready, place him in holodeck two. Let's see how he fares with the Klingons.
HIROGEN MEDIC: What about her?
ALPHA: Send her back to Holodeck One. I like her voice.
[Bridge]
ALPHA: Progress?
KIM: By cutting through the bulkheads on decks four, five and six we've been able to expand both
holodeck grids by five thousand square metres.
ALPHA: More.
KIM: I can't give you any more. Not without compromising Voyager's primary systems.
ALPHA: Then compromise them.
KIM: Look, holodecks require a tremendous amount of energy. I've already rerouted power from all
nonessential systems. Anything more, and we'll start losing propulsion, deflectors, even life support.
ALPHA: I'll transfer a supply of power nodules from my vessel. Integrate them into your systems.
I want to expand the holo-projectors into all surrounding sections. Replicate enough emitters for the task.
KIM: Yes, sir.
[Corridor]
KIM: The holo-emitters in this corridor are stable. Let's start working on section nineteen. But first,
tell the guard to escort you to Engineering. That we need more equipment, specifically,
a type three isolinear emitter. If he gives you any trouble, say I can't complete the assignment without it.
ASHMORE: We need an isolinear emitter from Engineering.
EMH: Ensign, how did I get here?
KIM: I transferred you here, using the new emitters in this section.
EMH: I assume you've got a plan?
KIM: Half a plan.
EMH: Let's hear it.
KIM: Before we can retake the ship we've got to get the crew back, and that means
disabling the neural interfaces.
EMH: Easier said than done. The great Hunters are everywhere you turn.
KIM: Don't worry, I think I've found a way to tap into the Sickbay diagnostic console. The only catch is.
Standby with the emitter. I'm almost done here.
EMH: The catch, Ensign?
KIM: Somebody's got to be inside the holodeck to engage the bridge control relays.
EMH: We're short handed.
KIM: I know.
EMH: Well, we've got a Borg on board, don't we? Maybe we can put her to good use.
[Ready room]
ALPHA: I've been studying Voyager's database looking for our next simulation.
There are many to choose from. These people have a violent history. I believe
I've found a worthy prey. The Borg. When World War II is over we will recreate
a notorious battle known as Wolf 359.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: I look forward to it.
ALPHA: I thought you might, but if you continue to disobey me this is one hunt you will never see.
You nearly destroyed two of my favoured prey. You were careless.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: I've become impatient. We penetrated this vessel, overcame their
defences, and in the
moment of the kill, you forced us to stop. Now we play these incessant games.
It's time we took our trophies and moved on.
ALPHA: Your lust for the kill has blinded you, like many young Hunters. If you took the time to study
your prey, to understand its behaviour, you might learn something.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: There is nothing to be learned.
ALPHA: You're wrong. Each Prey exposes us to another way of life and makes us re-evaluate our own.
Have you considered our future? What would become of us when we have hunted this territory to exhaustion?
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: We will travel to another part of space, search for new prey, as we have always done.
ALPHA: A way of life that hasn't changed for a thousand years.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Why should it?
ALPHA: Species that don't change, die. We've lost our way. We've allowed our predatory instincts
to dominate us. We disperse ourselves throughout the quadrant, sending ships in all directions.
We've become a solitary race, isolated. We've spread ourselves too thin. We're no longer a culture.
We have no identity. In another thousand years no one will remember the name Hirogen. Our people
must come back together, combine forces, rebuild our civilisation.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: What of the hunt?
ALPHA: The Hunt will always continue, but in a new way. I intend to transform this ship into a
vast simulation, populated with a varied and endless supply of prey. In time, this technology
can be duplicated for other Hirogen. These Holodecks will allow us to hold onto our past while we face the future.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Even if I were persuaded, others wouldn't be.
ALPHA: Then you are with me. I must continue my research.
I'll see you tomorrow on Holodeck one. The Americans are due to invade.
[Sickbay]
EMH: Remain calm and stay quiet. There's a Hirogen working in the bio-lab,
he might hear us. What's the last thing you remember?
SEVEN: An attack. Hirogen vessels. They breached our hull and boarded the ship.
I was in a phaser fight on deck three. I was struck several times. That's all I remember.
EMH: Then you have no memory of the simulations in the holodeck?
SEVEN: None.
EMH: The neural interface must be circumventing your memory centres.
SEVEN: Neural interface?
EMH: It's a subdermal transmitter that links your neo-cortex to the
holodeck. In essence, it makes you believe you're a character within the program.
SEVEN: Why am I in Sickbay?
EMH: You were wounded in a simulation It's my job to patch you all up and
send you back in. Half the crew is under lock and
key. The rest are fighting for their lives on the Holodeck. This has been going on for
nineteen days. Dozens of battle scenarios, one more brutal than the last. You should see what a mess
you were after the Crusades.
SEVEN: Will I be sent into another simulation?
EMH: Yes, but this time with an advantage. I have found a way to disable
the interface by remodulating one of your Borg implants to emit a jamming signal.
Once the Hirogen have brought you back to the holodeck, the jamming signal will activate within seconds.
SEVEN: My objective?
EMH: Find a control panel inside the Holodeck and engage the bridge access relays. That will enable
Ensign Kim and me to deactivate all the neural interfaces. After Captain Janeway and the crew
regain awareness you can work with them to mount a resistance against the Hirogen.
SEVEN: What simulation will I be entering?
EMH: World War II. A twentieth century Earth conflict. Do you know anything about it?
SEVEN: Nothing.
EMH: That could be a problem. Once the interface is disabled, you won't remember anything about
your role in the simulation. Think of it as a new social setting. Do your best to fit in.
HIROGEN MEDIC: This is the last neural interface. When you've finished with her, you'll
help me replicate more.
EMH: I have to sedate you now.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
SEVEN: That old black magic has me in it's spell. That old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine. The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet...
I must discontinue this activity. I am not well.
ALPHA: If the entertainment is over, I'll be going.
JANEWAY: Stay right there, Kommandant. I'm sure she's fine. Let me talk to her. What's wrong?
SEVEN: I require a glass of water.
JANEWAY: Make it a quick one. I promised the Kommandant you'd be singing till midnight.
I want to get a lot of information out of him tonight.
SEVEN: I am ill.
JANEWAY: Look, I don't care if you're dying. Get back out there.
SEVEN: I won't.
JANEWAY: Maybe you're right about her.
TUVOK: The evidence is increasing. She was present today when our courier was shot down in the street
yet somehow, she was unharmed. And now, on the eve of our liberation, she becomes uncooperative.
JANEWAY: Leave this to me.
[US Army - Captain's Tent]
PARIS: Captain.
CHAKOTAY: At ease. What's the word?
PARIS: There is no word. At least not from the Resistance in Sainte Claire.
CHAKOTAY: Then we won't get any support from inside the city.
PARIS: You may be underestimating the good citizens of Sainte Claire.
I spent a summer there when I was eighteen.
CHAKOTAY: Let me guess. You ate a few snails, fell in love with a
local girl and became an expert on the city.
PARIS: Ah, well, yeah, pretty much like that.
CHAKOTAY: I see.
PARIS: But believe me, Captain, those people love their town. They'll
fight for it and die for it. Don't count them out yet.
CHAKOTAY: All right, but I won't count them in, either. We continue as planned.
An assault from the north at first light. So, who was the mademoiselle?
PARIS: Her name was Brigitte. Great gams. One hell of a temper.
CHAKOTAY: Sounds like your kind of girl.
PARIS: August 29, 1936, 12:17 p.m. That's when my train pulled out of Sainte Claire.
That's the last time I saw her. We wrote to each other every week for three years,
then the war broke out and I never heard from her again.
CHAKOTAY: Sainte Claire's not a big place. She shouldn't be too hard to find.
PARIS: I'm counting on it.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
JANEWAY: You'll maintain position here, twenty metres from the front doors.
Arm yourself with a submachine gun and watch for any sign of trouble.
TUVOK: Understood.
JANEWAY: Now, we've observed a twenty second break in the guard rotation at
four fifteen a.m. That should you and me enough time to enter the
building through the storm window on the eastern wall.
TORRES: When I was there yesterday I saw guards posted at all three stairways.
You'll have to reach the second floor through the elevator shaft. The command post
is in the main gallery at the end of the hall.
JANEWAY: Once inside, we plant the charges, blow the transmitter.
You'll remain here. If something goes wrong and we're caught, destroy all evidence of the
Underground. Our contact list, decryption codes, everything.
TORRES: Right.
JANEWAY: We leave in one hour. This won't make much of a bang. You forgot to connect the detonator.
SEVEN: I will correct the error.
JANEWAY: It's lucky I found your little error. It might have undermined our mission.
Are you having second thoughts about tonight?
SEVEN: No.
JANEWAY: Good, because I don't want any more mistakes.
SEVEN: There won't be any.
JANEWAY: Let's hope not.
[Mess hall]
EMH: We've got to stop meeting like this.
KIM: I managed to grab a quick scan of Holodeck one, and it looks like Seven of Nine
is on the move. Are you ready in Sickbay?
EMH: My Hirogen taskmaster is working in the bio-lab. I'll have access to the medical
console for another twenty minutes at least.
KIM: That'll give me enough time to get to the Bridge. Good afternoon.
YOUNG HIROGEN: What are you doing in here?
KIM: Trying to get the replicator system back on-line. unless you prefer
the emergency rations. Personally, I'm getting tired of synthetic protein. You're supposed
to be the finest hunters in the quadrant, why don't you find us something a little more tasty?
Something wrong?
YOUNG HIROGEN: An unauthorised transmission was sent from this room.
KIM: What kind of transmission?
YOUNG HIROGEN: I don't know. Maybe you can tell me.
KIM: Well, I was trying to re-route power from the main computer to the replicators.
Of course, I must have tripped a communications sub-routine. Sorry about that, didn't
mean to worry you. Your people have damaged just about every system on this vessel.
Accidents are bound to happen. Now, if you don't mind, I'm due on the Bridge.
YOUNG HIROGEN: Show it to me.
KIM: What!
YOUNG HIROGEN: I want to see this sub-routine. Show me what you were doing
when the accident occurred.
KIM: Forget it. I don't have time.
YOUNG HIROGEN: Do as I say!
KIM: All right! You'd better call the bridge. Tell your superior I'm going to
be late, that I'm working under your orders now, not his.
Go ahead, make the call. I don't want to take the blame for this.
YOUNG HIROGEN: Report to the bridge.
KIM: Thanks.
[Kommandant's Office]
JANEWAY: Set the charges here, there and there. This looks like a message
from one of their reconnaissance teams. These must be instructions for
troop deployments. The Germans must be taking up new positions outside the
city. It looks like they're mobilising more troops than our sources
originally expected. They're moving armoured units into the valley.
They must know the Americans are coming. We've got to warn them somehow. What
are you doing? You haven't set the charges. What is that?
SEVEN: I believe it is a transmitter. I'm attempting to disable it.
JANEWAY: You're sending a message to the Nazis.
SEVEN: No.
JANEWAY: Step away, or I'll kill you.
[Sickbay]
HIROGEN MEDIC: What are you doing?
EMH: Ah, nothing, just running a diagnostic.
HIROGEN MEDIC: You've accessed the neural interface controls. Stop it immediately.
[Kommandant's Office]
JANEWAY: I told you no more mistakes. You've just made your last one. Ah! Seven.
SEVEN: Captain.
[Holodeck two - Klingon simulation]
NEELIX: Listen. A targ, just beyond that ridge.
ALPHA: You would hunt down a simple beast even in the midst of our enemies?
NEELIX: There is no enemy as great as hunger!
ALPHA: Why am I being interrupted?
[Sickbay]
HIROGEN MEDIC: The holographic Doctor, he's disabled their Captain's interface.
ALPHA [OC]: How?
HIROGEN MEDIC: I don't know, but I can't re-establish the link.
ALPHA: Send a team
[Holodeck two - Klingon simulation]
ALPHA: to Holodeck one. Remove her from the simulation.
[Kommandant's Office]
SEVEN: Hirogen hunters.
JANEWAY: Internal scans show thirteen of them on this holodeck.
[Sainte Claire - Street]
CHAKOTAY: Need a hand, buddy? Captain Miller, Fifth Armoured Infantry.
TUVOK: Welcome to Sainte Claire.
CHAKOTAY: Get me artillery unit Charlie One. Take up positions along this street and start
laying down fire.
[Kommandant's Office]
SEVEN: The Americans have arrived.
[Bridge]
ALPHA: You circumvented our control. How?
KIM: Go to hell!
[Le Coeur de Lion]
TORRES: Bobby!
PARIS: You owe me a postcard.
[Street]
CHAKOTAY: Distance eight hundred yards. Correct for crosswinds. Fire at will. Take cover, boys!
Charlie One isn't known for accuracy!
[Kommandant's Office]
JANEWAY: I can't access the ship's systems Didn't you say this was Nazi headquarters?
SEVEN: I did.
JANEWAY: Then it would stand to reason this building is being targeted. Let's get out of here.
[Bridge]
ALPHA: What happened?
KIM: There was a simulated explosion in Holodeck one. Somehow it blew out the hologrid across three decks.
ALPHA: Is the program still running?
KIM: Yes.
[Sainte Claire - Street]
TUVOK: What is it?
CHAKOTAY: Looks like a bunker. All units, listen up. We've just blown the lid off of some kind of secret
Nazi compound. Converge on my position. We're going in.
[Bridge]
KIM: The breach opened the simulation into the surrounding sections. I'm picking
up holographic soldiers moving onto deck five.
ALPHA: Shut down the holo-emitters until we can regain control!
KIM: I can't. The program controls are offline. You wanted a war? Looks like you've got one.
To Be Continued
[Corridor]
JANEWAY: Looks like the Hirogen have been busy. This entire section has been equipped
with holo-emitters. Let's get to Astrometrics.
[Astrometrics]
SEVEN: There are eighty five Hirogen on board concentrated on decks two through nine.
JANEWAY: What about the bridge?
SEVEN: Four Hirogen and Ensign Kim.
JANEWAY: At least he's alive. The neural interfaces, you said they're controlled through Sickbay.
SEVEN: Yes. There's only one Hirogen in Sickbay with the Doctor, but the corridors outside are heavily guarded.
JANEWAY: That's our first objective, disable the interfaces. But we'll need help.
SEVEN: We did have allies in the World War two simulation. The French Resistance.
JANEWAY: It's time we mount a resistance of our own.
[Bridge]
KIM: The damage is concentrated here, on Holodeck one, but the fighting has
spilled out onto decks five and six and it looks like a group of holographic
Americans is invading deck seven.
ALPHA: Show me the breach in the hologrid.
KIM: I've lost the visual link. It was the last active circuit connecting the Bridge
to the Holodecks. There's only one way to stop this. I need to go to Engineering and
initiate a power surge across the holo-emitter network. It'll blow out the entire
system.
ALPHA: No. That would destroy both the holodecks.
KIM: Look, simulation or not, if this battle keeps going we could all be killed.
ALPHA: I want that technology preserved.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Commander.
ALPHA: Status.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: I was able to reach deck five but holographic forces are massing near
the breach. If I'm to get into the holodeck I'll need help.
ALPHA: Take the hunters from the Klingon simulation.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: When I find Captain Janeway, should I kill her?
ALPHA: No. Bring her to me.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: This is no longer a game. This hunt is real. We should kill the Prey.
ALPHA: The Voyager crew must remain alive to make repairs, or we could lose everything!
This vessel, it's technology! You said that you understood the importance of what we're doing here.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: I'll get the hunters.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
CHAKOTAY: We think it's a secret compound the Nazi's built after they took over the city.
What I don't understand is how they managed to camouflage it so well.
TUVOK: Indeed. We've been scruitinising German troop movements since the Occupation.
We knew nothing of this installation.
PARIS: Don't sweat it. Our recon planes missed it too. Any idea what they're hiding in there,
Captain?
CHAKOTAY: We saw all sorts of scientific equipment. Strange metals, instruments we
can't identify. I've relayed the findings to Military Intelligence. They believe
this could be an advanced munitions laboratory, designed to build some kind of
super-weapon.
PARIS: We've got to put it out of business.
CHAKOTAY: I've already sent three squads in, but the Nazi's are putting up one
hell of a fight. I've requested additional troops. Lieutenant, this restaurant will
serve as our command post. Set up the transmitter and post guards around the perimeter.
PARIS: Yes, sir.
CHAKOTAY: You've done a bang-up job, but we'll take it from here. Tell your people to
lie low and that the Americans said thanks.
TORRES: This is our city. We have no intention of lying low.
CHAKOTAY: Listen, honey, the time for sneaking messages back and forth is over. This is war, and you aren't soldiers.
TUVOK: He's right. We have weapons hidden throughout the city. Brigitte will tell you where they are.
CHAKOTAY: Sounds good. Lieutenant, take care of it.
PARIS: I can see you haven't changed.
TORRES: Bring me one of those street maps. Most of the guns we stole from the German army, the
explosives we bought on the black market.
PARIS: We could use both.
TORRES: Our biggest stockpile is buried here, two metres below the last row of seats of the
Cinema Mystere. You remember it, don't you?
PARIS: Hmm. I'm No Angel with Mae West. There's heavy fighting in that area. What's the best way in?
TORRES: We dug a tunnel that leads directly to the stockpile. Here, I'll show you. Incidentally, we saw
Death Takes a Holiday.
PARIS: It was the Mae West movie, I'm sure of it. She was singing Sister Honky Tonk,
and I put my arm around you. And during the courtroom scene, I kissed you.
TORRES: You know, I think you're right.
PARIS: I guess the experience wasn't exactly burned into your memory.
TORRES: Not the movie, but I do remember the kiss.
PARIS: So, did you get my last letter?
TORRES: You mean the one asking me to leave France?
PARIS: Germany was about to invade. I thought you'd be safer back in the States with me,
but, I guess you found someone else to take care of you.
TORRES: There's never been anybody else.
PARIS: Then who?
TORRES: He's second in command of the Sainte Claire occupation. The
first time he saw me, he said I was pretty. I took advantage of his
interest. He doesn't know I'm in the Resistance. The child is his.
PARIS: I'm sorry.
TORRES: So am I.
JANEWAY: Hold your fire.
TUVOK: Katrine, you survived.
JANEWAY: Are you surprised?
TUVOK: Very. Nazi headquarters was destroyed. We assumed you were killed in the explosion.
TORRES: What is that? Some kind of an escape tunnel?
SEVEN: That's precisely what it is.
CHAKOTAY: You're the leader of the local Resistance.
JANEWAY: That's right.
CHAKOTAY: Captain Miller, Fifth Armoured Infantry. This is Lieutenant Davis.
I take it you've seen the German bunker we uncovered.
JANEWAY: I just came from there.
CHAKOTAY: We suspect it's a munitions lab. Can you confirm that?
JANEWAY: Yes. A munitions lab.
CHAKOTAY: Then this is it. We're calling in an air strike. Contact the RAF.
JANEWAY: Hold on, Captain. There's an easier way to do this with the minimum of
casualties.
CHAKOTAY: Let's hear it.
JANEWAY: I've located the generator that powers the entire complex. It's heavily guarded
but with your help I can get close enough to set off some explosives.
CHAKOTAY: My orders are to blow the entire compound before the Germans send in reinforcements.
JANEWAY: I saw technology in there you can't begin to imagine. Warheads powerful
enough to destroy this entire valley if they're accidentally detonated.
Call for an air strike, it may be the last call you make.
CHAKOTAY: How can you get close enough?
JANEWAY: This tunnel. I've been watching this compound for several months, and I've got
a man inside.
PARIS: The place is crawling with Krauts.
JANEWAY: And that's why I need your help. If your men can clear these two corridors
it'll give us access to this entryway. Get me there, and I can take care of the rest.
CHAKOTAY: C Company. What's there status?
PARIS: They're holding position about two hundred yards from here.
CHAKOTAY: Get them on the horn. You'll lead us into the compound but I'm coming with you.
JANEWAY: I work better alone.
CHAKOTAY: This isn't a request, it's an order.
JANEWAY: Order? Do I look like I'm wearing one of your uniforms? I go alone.
CHAKOTAY: I thought you needed our help. I'll be right behind you.
JANEWAY: Even if I manage to disrupt the neural interfaces, we've still got a
war to fight. We're going to need something a lot more effective than these old firearms.
SEVEN: I believe I can enhance these weapons using Borg technology, but I'll have to access Cargo Bay two.
JANEWAY: If something goes wrong and I don't succeed, you'll be the only one left who knows what's really going on.
SEVEN: Understood.
TUVOK: Have our suspicions been confirmed?
JANEWAY: Suspicions?
TUVOK: Is she a collaborator?
JANEWAY: I think we can trust her.
TUVOK: Are you certain? Three hours ago you were prepared to put a bullet in her head.
JANEWAY: She's on our side.
TUVOK: In your absence I may be forced to make that determination for myself.
JANEWAY: I've already made it. You're not to harm her. Is that understood?
TUVOK: German forces are advancing on our position.
CHAKOTAY: Let's give them a warm welcome. Mademoiselle, after you.
[Sickbay]
EMH: Punctured lung, arterial rupture, fracture of the thirteenth vertebra. He needs
surgery.
HIROGEN MEDIC: First and second degree burns to the face and neck. Treat him.
EMH: His injuries are minor. He can wait.
HIROGEN MEDIC: I said treat him.
EMH: This man has massive internal injuries. If I don't operate now, he'll die!
HIROGEN MEDIC: Treat the burns, or I'll deactivate your program.
EMH: What kind of physician are you? The first rule of triage states that the
critical injuries take priority.
HIROGEN MEDIC: You're rules, not mine. From now on,
leave the wounded prey where they fall. Tend only to our own.
[Holodeck two - Klingon program]
NEELIX: I'm as dry as the crater at Tarpahk. In the middle of the dry season. When it's dry!
KLINGON: No! I'm not done!
NEELIX: Share with your brothers! It's the eve of battle. I may be drunk
but I can still send your soul to the next world and leave your body
here to rot! Though from the stench of it, I'd say it's begun to already!
[Corridor]
KIM: Tom!
PARIS: Wrong guy. You speak English?
KIM: Yeah. I speak English.
PARIS: American?
KIM: I didn't see him coming. You saved my life.
PARIS: Why are you out of uniform? What Company are you with?
KIM: Well, er, I'm a civilian.
PARIS: In the middle of a battle zone in France? The hell you are. Go one, I'm right behind you.
Look, I don't have time for twenty questions. You say you're an American? All right
then. If Betty Grable came around that corner, what part of her would you be staring at? Sorry. Time's up.
KIM: Her legs! I'd be staring at her legs.
PARIS: Bull's-eye, lucky for you.
[Jefferies tube]
CHAKOTAY: You're a gung ho kind of gal, aren't ya?
JANEWAY: Does that bother you?
CHAKOTAY: Nope. Just not used to it, that's all. The girls back home are a little different.
JANEWAY: I guess when it comes to my people's safety, this girl tends to get a little gung ho.
CHAKOTAY: Nothing to apologise for, I'm the same way with my men. There's not a day goes by when
I don't think to myself, I'm going to get 'em back safely, even if I die trying.
JANEWAY: I know the feeling. We're about to enter some caves that run under the town.
CHAKOTAY: Caves?
JANEWAY: We're going to meet our contact there. I should warn you,
there are eccentric people who live in the caves, but don't be alarmed.
[Holodeck two - Klingon program]
JANEWAY: Good evening, gentlemen.
NEELIX: Who are you? How did you get past our battle lines?
JANEWAY: We're friends, allies.
NEELIX: Sent by what house?
JANEWAY: The house of Toh'Marg.
NEELIX: Toh'Marg. I never heard of it.
JANEWAY: I'm not surprised. It's a long way from here.
NEELIX: This battle doesn't concern you.
JANEWAY: Maybe not, but we'd be honoured to fight alongside such great warriors. If you
prefer, we'll take our weapons elsewhere.
NEELIX: Wait! I'll consider your request but first, prove your fortitude. Drink! SanRoh t'patoh Cha!
CHAKOTAY: I guess my French is a little rusty.
JANEWAY: Don't drink it. It's twice as strong as whisky. I'll be right back.
EMH: Captain. Is, is it you?
JANEWAY: Yes. We've got to disable the rest of those interfaces.
EMH: The controls are routed through the surgical console in Sickbay, but it will take time to
disable all of them.
JANEWAY: We don't have time. I'll access the Jefferies tube that runs under that deck plate,
set a few charges and blow out the console.
EMH: Charges? The Hirogen have seized the armoury.
JANEWAY: No problem. I've got all the ammo I need right here.
EMH: Holographic explosives?
JANEWAY: With the safety protocols offline, they're as good as the real thing.
NEELIX: Another of your warriors?
JANEWAY: Yes.
NEELIX: He's a frail looking thing.
JANEWAY: I'll contact you when I've disabled the rest of the interfaces. In the meantime, stay here.
EMH: With the Klingons?
JANEWAY: Believe me, it's peaceful compared to Sainte Claire. Captain!
NEELIX: Ha!
EMH: Please, don't do that.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
PARIS: They've got us outnumbered.
TORRES: And outgunned. They're setting up a machine gun emplacement across the street.
TUVOK: Where have you been?
SEVEN: Obtaining supplies.
TUVOK: What is this?
SEVEN: German technology taken from their compound. I can use them to enhance our weapons.
[Street]
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: I've cornered several Voyager crewmen. They've taken refuge in a guarded building.
I need three nucleonic charges to penetrate the structure.
[Bridge]
ALPHA: Nucleonic charges could damage the holodeck further. Use your hand weapons.
[Street]
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Then I need more hunters.
ALPHA [OC]: They're on the way.
[Jefferies tube]
JANEWAY: Damn, there's a level nine forcefield around the surgical console.
We'll have to go in and shut it down.
CHAKOTAY: Forcefield?
JANEWAY: I'll explain later. Set the detonator for five minutes.
[Sickbay]
HIROGEN MEDIC: Five hunters have been killed in the last hour. You must engage the
safety protocols.
ALPHA [on monitor]: Those protocols aren't functioning.
HIROGEN MEDIC: Then I'll need assistance to. Stand by. You!
JANEWAY: Get him out of here.
CHAKOTAY: There're ten pounds of dynamite under the floor set to blow in less than three minutes. Move.
[Bridge]
ALPHA: Bridge to Sickbay. Sickbay, respond. Bridge to deck five. Converge on the Sickbay.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
SEVEN: We are on the holodeck under attack. You must.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Bridge, this in Holodeck one. I have seized the building, and
I have found another access to this holodeck.
[Ready room]
ALPHA: Seal it. How many captives?
[Le Coeur de Lion]
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Four. Their neural interfaces have been disabled. I will make the kill.
ALPHA [OC]: No.
[Ready room]
ALPHA: They are not prey, they are hostages. I'll need them.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: As you wish. You, help me seal this hatch.
PARIS: What do you think, a boy or a girl?
SEVEN: It's a holographic projection.
TORRES: Unfortunately, it's a very good projection. I feel twenty kilos heavier. It even kicks.
TUVOK: I don't recognise this program.
PARIS: I do. He's wearing a Nazi uniform. We're on Earth during the Second World War.
SEVEN: Nazi?
PARIS: Totalitarian fanatics bent on world conquest. The Borg of their day. No offence.
SEVEN: None taken.
TORRES: What are you staring at?
NAZI KAPITAN: Get up. You deceived me.
TORRES: Really?
NAZI KAPITAN: I should've seen through your flirtations.
TORRES: If you say so.
NAZI KAPITAN: The thought of you carrying my child disgusts me!
TORRES: You're not the only one.
PARIS: Look, I don't know what went on between the two of you, but it's obviously over now.
NAZI KAPITAN: I see you're acquainted. Do you find her as attractive as I once did? I'll miss our nights together.
PARIS: Pig!
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Put the weapon away. Now.
PARIS: Funny, he doesn't seem like your type.
[Holodeck two - Klingon program]
NEELIX: Doctor, trouble.
EMH: Now what?
NEELIX: The Klingons are starting to wake up from their nap.
EMH: All right, all right, hold on.
NEELIX: What are you doing?
EMH: I've established an interface with Holodeck one. I want to
monitor what's going on over there in case the crew needs my help.
KLINGON: Qapla'!
NEELIX: Uh-oh. What should we do?
EMH: Not having a cure for Klingon hangovers I couldn't tell you.
KLINGON: The battle has begun. Our plan is to penetrate the enemy's position,
cut his forces in half.
NEELIX: And a very good plan it is. Best of luck with it.
KLINGON: You will lead us into battle, Great Warrior.
NEELIX: Maybe I'll just watch from here. Try to offer up some pointers as things develop.
KLINGON: Sto'Kar! Lead the attack or die here by my hand.
EMH: You heard him. Don't argue with the man, run along! I'll reattach any severed limbs, just don't misplace them.
KLINGON: You! Cover our flank! Qapla'!
NEELIX: Qapla'.
EMH: Tally-ho.
[Ready room]
ALPHA: Enter. Leave her.
JANEWAY: I see you've done some redecorating.
ALPHA: Your attempt to retake this vessel was inventive. From the day I seized Voyager you
put up a dauntless fight, but your fight is over now. You're going to help me shut down these
simulations and repair the holodecks.
JANEWAY: No. We'll destroy this ship before we surrender it.
ALPHA: Don't threaten me, Captain. I've faced far more intimidating prey than you. If this
fight continues, I promise you I will hunt down and kill every member of your crew.
JANEWAY: Well, by then this ship will be damaged beyond repair and there won't be much of a trophy left, will there?
ALPHA: Perhaps I should kill you and find someone who will co-operate.
JANEWAY: Good luck. You'll get the same response from all of them.
ALPHA: You don't realise what's at stake.
JANEWAY: I know what's at stake. Your sick little game.
ALPHA: This is not a game!
JANEWAY: Then what is it?
ALPHA: I'm trying to create a future for my people.
JANEWAY: Future?
ALPHA: I don't expect you to understand. You are prey.
JANEWAY: You underestimate us.
ALPHA: Yes, perhaps I do.
JANEWAY: I'm listening
ALPHA: My people are hunting themselves into extinction. Your holodeck technology might
offer us an alternative, a new way of life. Instead of scattering ourselves across the
quadrant in pursuit of prey, we could simulate the hunt and give ourselves a chance to rebuild our civilisation.
JANEWAY: And confine your killing to holograms.
ALPHA: With the safety protocols offline, the pursuit is just as challenging.
JANEWAY: Oh, I understand what you're trying to do, but then why have you been torturing
us? Why have you thrown my crew into one brutal simulation after another?
ALPHA: I've been studying your behaviour as I do with all my prey, but your holodecks allowed
me to go further, to explore your culture, your history. I must admit, I've learned a great deal.
JANEWAY: How so?
ALPHA: Your people have faced extinction many times, but you've always managed to avoid it.
You seem to recognise the need for change.
JANEWAY: Yes. You've got one of those moments running right now on the holodeck. We called it World War Two.
ALPHA: One of your most difficult eras. And yet you survived.
JANEWAY: It wasn't easy.
ALPHA: You are a resilient species. I admire your cunning.
JANEWAY: Let's end this. I'll call a cease-fire and we can try to contain the damage.
I want my ship back, but in return I will give you what you need to create the holodeck
technology. It would be cunning for you to agree.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Synthetic, and undrinkable. I am tired of this simulation.
NAZI KAPITAN: Mein Herr, a word with you.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: And these holograms are becoming annoying as well.
NAZI KAPITAN: What are we waiting for? Why don't we execute these prisoners?
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Orders. From the Kommandant.
NAZI KAPITAN: If I may speak freely. The Kommandant has been acting strangely the past few days. He's
been questioning German superiority. Perhaps we shouldn't follow his orders so blindly.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: You will do as he says as long as I tell you to.
NAZI KAPITAN: I don't know how much longer I can stand being trapped in here.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Perhaps you would enjoy some entertainment. Sing.
SEVEN: I will not.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Sing or you will die.
SEVEN: Then I'll die.
TUVOK: Seven, you are a valued member of this crew. The logical response would be to grant his request.
SEVEN: Logic is irrelevant. One day the Borg will assimilate your species
despite your arrogance. When that moment arrives, remember me.
ALPHA [OC]: Bridge to Holodeck one.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Yes.
[Bridge]
ALPHA: I've come to an agreement with Captain Janeway. Call a cease-fire.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: What?
TUVOK: Captain?
JANEWAY [OC]: It's true, Tuvok.
[Bridge]
JANEWAY: Our first order of business is to call off the troops.
I want you to find Chakotay
[Le Coeur de Lion]
JANEWAY [OC]: and have him convince his soldiers to pull out of the city.
TUVOK: Aye Captain.
ALPHA [OC]: Turanj
[Bridge]
ALPHA: Order our hunters to end the fighting.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
NAZI KAPITAN: This is madness! We're winning this battle!
[Le Coeur de Lion]
ALPHA [OC]: Our civilisation depends on this agreement.
[Le Coeur de Lion]
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Acknowledged. You heard him, release the captives. I'll tell the others.
Order all units to withdraw to these positions
NAZI KAPITAN: I have always thought highly of you.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Have you.
NAZI KAPITAN: Yes, but the Kommandant is a fool. He doesn't understand.
He's never embraced the Fuhrer or his vision. One does not co-operate with decadent forms of life,
one hunts them down and eliminates them. The Kommandant speaks of civilisation. The ancient Romans
were civilised. The Jews are civilised. But in all its moral decay, Rome fell to the spears of our
ancestors as the Jews are falling now. Look at our destiny! The field of red, the purity of German
blood. The blazing white circle of the sun that sanctified that blood. No one can deny us, no power
on Earth or beyond. Not the Christian Saviour, not the God of the Jews. We are driven by the very
force that gives life to the universe itself! We must countermand the Kommandant's orders, stay
and fight. We must be faithful to who we are.
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: You two, follow me.
[Sainte Claire - Street]
CHAKOTAY: All units, clear the valley. Return to your previous positions.
We're calling a cease-fire. Repeat, cease fire. Well, the word is out.
TUVOK: Whether it will be acted upon is another question.
CHAKOTAY: Oh, they'll follow orders. I'm their commanding officer, remember?
PARIS: Keep it moving! Keep it moving! Get the lead out of your pants!
SEVEN: Mid-twentieth century American slang.
PARIS: You got a problem with that, sister?
SEVEN: You're enjoying this simulation. I find that peculiar, given the circumstances.
PARIS: Loosen up, baby doll, the war's almost over.
TORRES: So much for the cease-fire!
NAZI KAPITAN: Fire! Fire!
[Holodeck two - Klingon program]
EMH: I've been monitoring the other simulation, and the fighting's getting worse.
The crew is taking heavy casualties.
NEELIX: How can we help?
EMH: I'll transfer my program to Holodeck one. You take the Jefferies tube and meet
me there.
NEELIX: There's only the two of us.
EMH: Nevertheless we have to try and... even half drunk, Klingons are among the best warriors in the galaxy.
NEELIX: But they're already in the middle of a war with the house of whatever it is.
EMH: Then you'll just have to convince them that there's a more important battle to be waged.
NEELIX: Me?
EMH: You are their Great Warrior. Lead them!
NEELIX: Pardon me, gentlemen. I wonder if I might have a word with you.
EMH: They're Klingons, not kittens!
NEELIX: You will listen!
[Holodeck lab]
JANEWAY: These sensors indicate you've placed holo-emitters on decks five through twelve? No
wonder the system breached, you've turned Voyager into one big Holodeck!
ALPHA: Can you shut it down?
JANEWAY: Yes, but I'm going to have to initiate an overload. We'll worry about making repairs later.
Right now we've got to put an end to those simulations. Janeway to Ensign Kim.
[Bridge]
KIM: Yes, Captain.
JANEWAY [OC]: Harry, I'm going to need your help overloading the holo-emitter network.
[Holodeck lab]
JANEWAY: I'm transferring optical processor control to you now. Start charging the secondary power relays.
[Bridge]
JANEWAY [OC]: We'll use them to trigger the overload.
KIM: I'm on it.
[Holodeck lab]
JANEWAY: It's going to take some time. There are over eight hundred emitters
that we have to
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Move away from the controls!
ALPHA: Why haven't you ordered the cease-fire?
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: Move away from the controls.
ALPHA: Listen to me!
HIROGEN SS OFFICER: No!
JANEWAY: What are you waiting for?
HIROGEN: I am a hunter. You are my prey. Run.
[Sainte Claire - Street]
SEVEN: I'm modifying this explosive device to emit a photonic burst. It'll
be harmless to organic tissue but it should disrupt all holographic activity within twenty metres.
[Bridge]
[Sainte Claire - Street]
CHAKOTAY: Acknowledged. Our holographic allies are losing ground. The German troops
are surrounding the city.
PARIS: I don't know how much longer we can hold them off. These weapons are pretty crude.
They're not much help.
TORRES: Maybe we should fall back?
CHAKOTAY: Where to? They're coming in from all sides. Tuvok, any chance we can get
through that breach in the hologrid.
TUVOK: Unlikely. Twenty more Hirogen have taken up position near the opening. We are outnumbered.
CHAKOTAY: How's it going?
SEVEN: I'm modifying this explosive device to emit a photonic burst. It will be harmless
to organic tissue but it should disrupt all holographic activity within twenty metres.
CHAKOTAY: We'll try to buy you some time.
[Bridge]
ALPHA: I'll be in Sickbay.
[Sainte Claire - Street]
CHAKOTAY: They're closing in. Seven!
NAZI KAPITAN: Surrender. Verdamt! Bring that one to me! I will spare your life for now,
but only because you are carrying a German child.
[Corridor]
JANEWAY: Please don't do this. I can be of use to you. I can help you repair the ship. Don't kill me!
[Sainte Claire - Street]
NAZI KAPITAN: Against the wall. Your deaths will serve the glory of the Reich. Prepare to fire.
NEELIX: Fight on, warriors! This way!
EMH: Qapla', gentlemen! Qapla'!
[Corridor]
JANEWAY: This hunt is over. Tell your hunters to stand down. I'll use this if you force me to.
[Sainte Claire - Street]
CHAKOTAY: It's over. Let's go.
Captain's log, Stardate 51715.2. The damage to Voyager has been extreme. Both sides have
taken heavy casualties and it's clear that no one is going to win this conflict. The fighting
has reached a standstill and the remaining Hirogen have agreed to negotiate a truce.
[Cargo Bay two]
YOUNG HIROGEN: What is this?
JANEWAY: An optronic datacore. You can use it to create holodeck technology on your own vessels.
I made a promise with your leader, before he died, that I would give this knowledge to the Hirogen. Take it.
YOUNG HIROGEN: His ideas were unconventional. I do not share them.
JANEWAY: Was he any more unconventional than you are? Calling a cease-fire with your
prey? Only a few days ago the thought of speaking with us on equal terms would've been inconceivable,
but here we are. Accept this trophy. You can use it to create a new future for your people.
At the very least, you can hang it on your bulkhead.
