Chakotay observes: "There is some kind of unknown process that has been keeping this nebula from going up like a torch."
Paris gives the assurance that he has his hand on the controls and if necessary Voyager will be out of there before it can even touch their shields.

 A plasma strand ignites. |
The crew look away from the blinding bright light.
Kim reports: "The temperature is now 9,000 degrees Kelvin. I'm picking up some kind of subatomic reaction."
Kim: "The plasma strand burned itself completely out."
Chakotay: "Without causing a chain reaction in the nebula."
 | Janeway: "Harry, what put out the flames?"
Kim: "Sensors show some kind of dampening effect between the strands but I can't isolate it." Janeway: "Like a firebreak in space." |
 | Chakotay: "If we understood how this happened we might be able to find a way to contain a warp core breach."
Janeway: "Or any plasma reaction. It seems like an investigation worth pursuing." |
Janeway tells Paris: "Tom, it seems safe enough. Take us in for short-range sensor scans. Let's find out all we can about this phenomenon."
Paris: "Aye, Captain."
 |
As Janeway leaves, she says, "I'll see you all at Mr Neelix's luau." and makes the pointed comment as she passes Tuvok's station: "I'm sure everyone will be attending." |
 |
The looks Chakotay and Paris give Tuvok. |  |
| Paris meets Torres as she comes out of the turbolift.
Paris: "Lieutenant! You look absolutely-" Torres: "Tropical?" Paris, appreciatively looking her up and down: "More along the lines of smashing." Torres: "Thanks." Paris: "Of course, nothing can quite measure up with this shirt. This is a re-creation of a 1962 Big Daddy-O Surf Special, an American classic." Torres: "I'd say you put just a little bit too much thought into that." Paris: "Now that's where you're wrong." Torres: "Let's go. I told Vorik we'd pick him up at 1600 hours and you know how Vulcan he gets when anybody is late." Paris: "Vorik? I thought we were meeting Harry." Torres: "He's not coming." Paris: "Why not?" Torres: "He said he was busy." Paris: "With what?" Torres: "I don't know." Paris: "Harry and I will meet you at the luau." Torres: "Well, you're pretty confident about your powers of persuasion." Paris: "Yes, I am." |

Kim: "Come in." Paris: "Surf's up, Mr Kim!" Kim: "Hi, Tom." |
 | Paris: "Harry, this is a luau. You look like you're dressed for a funeral. What are you doing?"
Kim: "Vulcan meditation." |
Paris: "What for?"
Kim: "To suppress my emotions."
Paris: "Is something wrong?"
Kim: "Not really."
Paris: "The resort woman, what was her name?"
Kim: "Marayna. How did you know that?"
Paris: "For two days now every time I look for you it's always 'he's in Holodeck 1' and since you don't like hydrosailing I figured something was going on."
Kim: "Am I that predictable? You sound like Tuvok."
Paris: "Tuvok? He told you to do all this?"
Kim: "Logically, the best course is retreat. Meditation helps."
Paris: "Retreat? A classic case of Vulcan denial, if you ask me. Come on, Harry, we have all fallen for a holodeck character. It happens. You deal with it by staying with your normal routine, not by hiding out in your quarters."
Kim: "I'm not hiding out. I'm deconstructing the emotional complex."
Paris: "Ok. Have fun."
 | Kim: "No, wait. Computer, standard illumination." As the lights come on, he blows out a candle. "I'm getting tired of this anyway." |
 | Paris: "Computer, one Hawaiian shirt."
Computer: "Specify parameters." Paris: "Pineapple motif." |
