![]() | It is just before 1500 hours. Janeway and Chakotay are walking along the corridor that leads to the cargo bay, to find out which crewmembers have decided to leave Voyager and settle on the planet.
Chakotay: "I expect Jarvin will stay on the planet. In fact, I'd bet on it." Janeway: "Why Jarvin?" Chakotay: "He's been more uncomfortable about being on a Starfleet ship than most of the Maquis, and he's gotten involved with a young woman in Quantum Mechanics. I think they'd like to settle down, raise a family." Janeway: "The person I expect to see is Baxter." Chakotay: "Baxter. Walter Baxter?" Janeway: "He's adventurous, a risk-taker. I can see him wanting to take on the challenge of building a new life on this planet." Chakotay: "I'd hate to lose Baxter. He's a good man." Janeway: "I'd hate to lose Jarvin. I don't want to lose anyone. We've all been through so much together. It just doesn't seem right. But I couldn't blame anyone, anyone, for staying behind." |
