THE HAUNTING OF DECK TWELVE
Episode 145
Part A
 | Neelix moves through the eerily empty Messhall and heads for the starboard exit.
Neelix: "Computer, deactivate mess hall lights." |
 | The computer does so and the lights go out. Suddenly the doors open. A figure looms in the doorway. He jumps, letting out a little yelp of alarm. |
| Then he realises it is Seven. "Oh, you scared me."
Seven: "That wasn't my intention." Neelix: "No, of course not. I guess I'm just a little jumpy, especially after what happened the last time." Seven: "That's why I'm here." Neelix: "Oh?" Seven: "We'll be shutting down main power soon. The children's regeneration cycle will be interrupted. They'll require supervision." Neelix: "Well, I'm happy to help. To tell you the truth, I'd be grateful for the distraction." Seven: "The procedure could take several hours." Neelix: "How much do they know about what's happening?" Seven: "Nothing. The children have overactive imaginations: I don't want to alarm them unnecessarily." Neelix: "What if they start asking questions? I can't just lie to them." Seven reassures him: "You have considerable child-care experience. I'm sure you'll manage." |
 | On Voyager's bridge, the crew are concentrating on a maneuver. |
 | Janeway: "That's close enough. Let our momentum carry us in."
Paris: "Cutting engines." |
 | He refers to the viewscreen image of the nebula they are entering. "There's a creepy image. Reminds me of something out of Edgar Allan Poe." |
 | Kim: "Looks like a vampire bat. You can make out the wings, even the ears. What do you see, Tuvok?" |
 | Tuvok: "Two Starfleet officers with juvenile imaginations."
Paris: "Come on, Tuvok. Haven't you ever looked up at the clouds and seen an animal?" Tuvok: "I will never understand the human need to find imagery in something as innocuous as a cloud." |
 | Janeway: "Harry, are we ready?"
Kim: "Yes, ma'am." Janeway: "Then let's do it." She makes a shipwide broadcast via comms. " All hands, initiate shutdown sequence." |
 | One by one the power systems including lights are shut down on the Bridge. |
 | In the darkness there are flickers are lanterns are activated to enable the Bridge crew to see in the gloom.
|
 | Lights and power start going down in sequence all over the starship. In a corridor, when the lights go out the two crewmembers activate their wrist-beacons in order to be able to see. |
 |
|
 | In Sickbay the lights go out. |  |
 | the Doctor orders the computer: "Computer, deactivate EMH." The computer takes his program offline. |  |
 | In the Astrometrics Lab, Seven activates a wrist-beacon when the power goes. |
 |
|
 | In Cargo Bay 2, power to the Borg alcoves is shut off. The children's regeneration cycles are interrupted. Icheb opens his eyes. Mezoti and the others open their eyes too. |  |
 | They see Neelix waiting for them. |
 | The light from the hand-lantern reflects eerily on Neelix's face as he tells them: "Everything's alright. We've just had to shut down main power temporarily - nothing to be concerned about." |
 | In Main Engineering, Torres supervises the warp core shut-down. "Three, two, one, mark." |
 | The warp core is shut down, leaving the place in the dark. |
 | The crew turn on hand-lanterns.
|
 | On the Bridge, Kim reports: "All decks report shut-down complete, Captain." |
 | Janeway, via comms: "Janeway to Seven of Nine. We're ready."
Seven, in Astrometrics, via comms: "Acknowledged." |
 | Voyager enters the nebula. |
