| Tuvok: | Tactical/Security Officer |
| Chakotay: | First Officer |
| B'Elanna Torres: | Chief Engineer |
| Harry Kim: | Ops/Communications Officer |
| Tom Paris: | LieutenantipCbgj |
| Doctor: | a Holographic Doctor |
| Ki: | Not having any luck. Tuvok read the navigational logs. It wasn't wrong. He wanted to make sure we didn't get out of here. |
| Ne: | Neelix to Bridge. |
| Ja: | Go ahead. |
| Ne: | Captain. I can't be sure, but I think I was just taken over by the alien and I've done something very strange. I re-aranged the stone on the medicine wheel. |
| Ja: | If it's Chakotay, maybe he's trying to tell us something. Mr. Kim, activate sickbay visual relay 16 and put it on the view screen. |
| Ki: | Aye, Captain. |
| Ja: | What is it? What does it mean? Is it a code? A message? |
| Pa: | Or a map? |
| Ja: | Computer, overlay a stone map at the nebula on the current view screen image. |
| Pa: | Stones in the same positions as those three planetoids. Chakotay must be using them to point the way out. |
| Ja: | Mr. Kim, lay in a course to take us along a line connecting those three planetoids. Engage. |
| ?: | Shields failing. The alien's penetrating the hull. |
| Ja: | Mr. Kim, report. |
| Ki: | We're passing the third planetoid now, Captain. The dark matter density is steady. Reading a normal space ahead. |
| Ja: | Bridge to Torres. Transfer all remaining power to thrusters including life support. |
| Ki: | We cleared the nebula, Captain. Main power coming back on line. Shields at full strength. Hull integrity normal. The alien beings are not pursuing. |
| Ja: | Captain's log: Star date 48735.9. We have returned to the coordinates where we ejected the warp core, and have successfully retreated. Now we're hoping the doctor would be able to successfully re-integrate Commander Chakotay's consciousness. |
| Ja: | Did it work? |
| Do: | It did appear so. Commander, can you hear me? |
| Ch: | Yes. I'm a little dizzy, but I think I'm all here. |
| To: | How did you manage to integrate his consciousness? |
| Do: | It involved 3 neuro-transceivers, 2 cortico-stimulators, and 50 giga quartz of computer memory. I will be happy to take his process, but it would take at least 10 hours to explain all to you. Needless to say it was a remarkable procedure. I would consider writing a paper about it. There are a covenient forum which would publish it. |
| Ja: | What happened, Commander? |
| Ch: | After the attack on the shuttle, I had a sensation of flowing above my own body. I thought I was dead. |
| Ja: | And when the shuttle returned to Voyager, you were still disembodied? |
| Ch: | Yes. I couldn't speak. I couldn't touch anything. Then I found if I concentrated on someone who's in the room with me, I could share their conscieness. At first I can only do little things with the host's body. Push buttons. Work a console. As time was on, it became easier to do more. Sorry I had to knock you around, Tuvok. |
| Tu: | No apology is nessesary. |
| Ja: | Good job, Commander. And welcome back. |
| Ch: | To be honest, I feel I can be left. |
