Part E

Chakotay cannot settle back into doing his painting but waits for Janeway.

Janeway comes in from having her bath, finishing fastening her dressing gown. She sits down and immediately begins work again.
Janeway: "Maybe we should be out looking for other primates. I might be missing something important." She activates her computer.
Chakotay sighs. "Kathryn, the Doctor worked for weeks trying to find the treatment for this disease."

Janeway: "Yes?"
Chakotay: "You've been at it twelve hours a day, seven days a week since we got here, and we're still no closer to a cure than we were the day we were infected."

Janeway: "I'm not sure what you're getting at."
Chakotay: "My people have a saying: 'Even the eagle must know when to sleep.' Maybe it's time we both considered that."

Janeway: "You mean quit, give up."
Chakotay: "Why do you have to see it as defeat? Maybe it's simply accepting what life has dealt us, finding the good in it."

Janeway sighs. "There may be a day when I'll come to that, Chakotay, but I'm a long way from it right now. I need to keep looking."

He forces a smile and lets the subject rest.

He watches her for a moment as she works and he goes back to his painting.

Above: Voyager cruising at warp speed.

Tuvok: "Acting captain's log, supplemental. After six weeks the decision to leave Captain Janeway and the First Officer behind still seems to weigh heavily on the crew."

Tuvok in the captain's chair.

Kim: "Captain Tuvok."
Tuvok: "Yes, Ensign."
Kim: "I'm picking up a convoy on long-range sensors. It's Vidiian, sir."
Tuvok: "Distance?"
Kim: "Approximately 1.5 light-years."

Tuvok to Paris: "Lieutenant, alter course to a different heading. I don't want to risk their detecting us."

Kim: "Sir, the Vidiians."
Tuvok: "Yes?"
Kim: "They're within hailing range. We could ask them if they know anything about the captain's illness."
Tuvok: "You're aware that Captain Janeway specifically told us not to risk contacting the Vidiians."
Kim: "Yes, but it's not like we went out of our way to find them. We would just be taking advantage of an opportunity that's presented itself."

Tuvok: "That bit of sophistry is not terribly persuasive, Ensign."
Kim leaves Ops and approaches Tuvok. "Sir, how can we turn our backs on this chance to do something? Don't we have to try? Don't we owe that to the Captain and the Commander?"
Tuvok: "The matter is closed, Ensign. Return to your station."

Kim appeals to the other officers on the Bridge: "What's wrong with the rest of you? You know I'm right!"

Tuvok: "Ensign Kim."
Kim: "We have a chance to help them! How can we ignore that?"

Tuvok: "Ensign, you are relieved of duty. Leave the Bridge at once or I will have you put in the Brig."

Paris looks at Kim and pleads with him to obey Tuvok and not to push the matter further. "Harry."

Kim leaves the Bridge. Tuvok returns to the captain's chair.
Tuvok to Paris: "Proceed on the altered course, Lieutenant."
Paris does so.

In the Messhall, Kim is sitting at a table.

Hogan and Swinn approach him.
Hogan: "Excuse me, Ensign Kim. Could we?"
Kim: "Sure, have a seat."

Swinn: "We just wanted you to know we heard what happened on the Bridge."

Hogan: "And we think you're absolutely right. We've got to contact the Vidiians."

Swinn: "It's a risk but it's worth it."

Kim: "That's what I think. But Captain Tuvok's made his decision. Two Ensigns and a Crewman won't change his mind."
Hogan: "There are a lot more who agree with us."
Swinn: "A lot."
Kim: "Really?"
Hogan: "Everyone we talked to can't believe Tuvok won't give this a try."
Kim gets up. "Come on."

Kim takes them over to Torres' table. To Torres: "Did you hear what happened this morning?"
Torres: "Sure did."
Kim: "Three weeks ago you said that if I had an idea about what to do you'd listen."
Torres: "I'm listening."

Neelix: "Is there something going on that I should know about?"
Kim: "Have a seat, Neelix. We might've come up with the biggest morale-booster you could possibly imagine."
