| Kathryn Janeway: | ボイジャー艦長 |
| Tuvok: | Tactical/Security Officer |
| Chakotay: | First Officer |
| B'Elanna Torres: | Chief Engineer |
| Harry Kim: | Ops/Communications Officer |
| Tom Paris: | Lieutenant（パイロット） |
| Doctor: | a Holographic Doctor |
| Ja: | Report! |
| Se: | We're running into some kind of spatial distortion. |
| Ja: | Mr. Tuvok? |
| Tu: | The distortions are emanating from a highly localized disturbance in the space-time continuum. Distance, twenty thousand kilometers off the port bow. |
| Ja: | All stop. On screen. Gravimetric flux density is over 2000%. If I'm not mistaken, we're looking at a type-4 quantum singularity. |
| Tu: | Captain. I'm receiving an audio transmission from within the singularity. |
| Ja: | On speakers. |
| Ki: | I think I've found the source of the transmission. |
| Ja: | Does it look like any ship you're familiar with? |
| Ne: | No. Nothing I recognize. But, then, it's, it's so hard to make out. |
| Ja: | They may be trapped in the event horizon. Open a channel. This is Captain Kathryn Janeway of the starship Voyager to the vessel near the quantum singularity. Do you need help? |
| Ke: | Event horizon? |
| Ne: | A singularity is a star that's collapsed in on itself. The event horizon is a very powerful energy field surrounding it. Why, uh, once on a particularly dangerous trade mission to the twin stars of Keloda, I myself was almost trapped inside... |
| Tu: | No response to our hail, Captain. |
| Ja: | Can we tractor the vessel out? |
| Ki: | No. The subspace interference is too heavy. |
| Ne: | Captain. We are less than three light years from Ilidaria. They have sophisticated technology. They might be able to help. And they are quite friendly, uh, most of the time. |
| Ja: | No. It looks like being pulled in toward the singularity. We have to get it out of the event horizon. |
| Ch: | Bridge to Torres, we need a way to get that ship out of there. Any ideas? |
| To: | I was thinking we could remodulate a tractor beam to match the subspace interference. It might be enough to cut through the event horizon. |
| Ch: | A subspace tractor beam. |
| To: | Exactly. |
| Ch: | When can you have it be ready? |
| To: | Two hours, maybe three. |
| Ch: | Get right on it. Use as many people as you need. |
| Ja: | Mr. Carey. What do you think? |
| Ca: | With the right field modulation it might work, but we'll need more power to the emitter array. |
| Ja: | Very well. You are in charge, Mr. Carey. Report to me when the tracter beam is ready. |
| Ca: | Aye, Captain. |
| Ja: | Mr. Paris. Hold our position here. I'd like to see you in private. |
