Neelix calls: "Hang on! We're breaking through the ionosphere!" The mag-lev carriage hurtles upwards. At the right moment Neelix reports: "Engaging induction dampers." The carriage halts. "We did it. We made it!"
	Lillias and Neelix hug each other in delight.

Hanjuan is overjoyed too and, without thinking, hugs Tuvok!

Tuvok clicks his combadge. "Tuvok to Voyager."
Janeway, via comms: "Janeway here. Are you alright, Lieutenant?"
Tuvok: "Yes, Captain."
Janeway: "We're a little busy right now. Prepare to beam aboard."

Voyager is coming off worst in the battle with the Etanian Order ship. Kim: "Shields down to 23 per cent. Structural integrity is failing."

Tuvok, examining Vatm's data storage device: "Captain, this data device contains tactical information on the enemy vessel including their shield modulation." Janeway: "Adjust our phasers to match. Target their primary reactor." Tuvok: "Ready." Janeway: "Fire at will." Voyager fires. "Direct hit. Their reactor is offline."

Chakotay: "They're remodulating their shields." Janeway: "Target their weapons array. Fire." Tuvok: "Their weapons have been destroyed." Chakotay: "They're retreating, Captain."

The Ambassador turns to Neelix. "What happened to you down there? Where's Sklar?"

"Mr Sklar," and here Neelix exchanges a meaningful look with Tuvok, "returned to the surface."

	Lillias is alone in the Messhall when Neelix arrives. Neelix: "I've just come from a staff briefing. The people who attacked your colonies, they call themselves the Etanian Order. Apparently they have a unique way of invading other worlds. First they create what appears to be a natural disaster, in your case an asteroid bombardment. Once the population has evacuated, they arrive and stake their claim."
	Lillias surmises: "But they didn't expect Voyager to intervene so they arrived before our colonies had been evacuated." Neelix: "Exactly."
	Lillias: "Oh, what about Dr Vatm?" Neelix: "From what we could tell, Dr Vatm found out about the Etanian Order and was secretly collecting information about their starship technology. He also knew that one of your colonists was a traitor, helping the Etanians, feeding your government false information about the asteroids. But he didn't know that it was Sklar. He didn't know who to trust." Lillias: "That why he tried to hide the data storage device on the roof. The damage to our world could've been much worse." She places a hand on his. "Thank you."
	Tuvok enters. He informs Lillias: "I have just received word from the Ambassador. Your sister Halla has been found." Lillias is delighted.
	Neelix tells her as she jumps up: "Tell her I said hello." She kisses him on the cheek before hurrying from the room.

Tuvok: "Mr Neelix, I thought you should know that I have submitted my mission report to the Captain. I have given you a special commendation for your endurance and bravery." Neelix: "I'm honoured."

	Tuvok: "Your instincts were correct. However, one day your intuition will fail, and you will finally understand that logic is primary above all else. Instinct is simply another term for serendipity."
	Neelix: "And one day, Mr Vulcan, I'll get you to trust your gut." Tuvok: "That is doubtful." Neelix: "We'll see." He starts to make his way round to behind the serving counter. Tuvok: "Your attempts have yet to succeed." Neelix: "You always have to get in that last word, don't you?" Tuvok: "I am simply responding to your erroneous statement." Neelix: "Something tells me you just hate to lose an argument." He disappears into the Galley.
	Tuvok: "Losing is irrelevant." Neelix pokes his head out from the Galley. "See what I mean?" Tuvok, gets the last word. "No, I do not." But in getting the last word, he proves Neelix's point.
