In a corridor on Voyager, Torres looks around for a moment, then walks along the corridor.

Chakotay appears. "Where're you headed?" Torres: "The bridge." Chakotay: "Mind if I walk with you?" Torres: "Not at all." As they walk together, Chakotay strikes up a conversation. "So, how's it going?" Torres: "Not bad, I guess." Chakotay: "Tuvok still giving you a hard time?" Torres: "No more than usual." Chakotay: "I don't know about you, but when I think about spending 70 years on the same ship with that guy - gives me a headache. I get the impression that a lot of the crew agrees with me: Maquis and Starfleet." They enter the turbolift. He instructs the computer: "Bridge." Chakotay: "So what do you think?" Torres: "About what?" Chakotay: "About what I've been saying: that a lot of the crew aren't happy with our chief of security. For that matter, I don't think Captain Janeway's winning any popularity contests either, don't you agree?" Torres: "Why do I get the feeling that you're testing me?" Chakotay: "Let's just say that I'm interested in your opinion." Torres: "Why?" Chakotay: "You're a good officer. I like you. And I wouldn't want to see you get hurt." Torres: "Computer, halt turbolift." To him: "Look, what's this all about?" Chakotay: "There are going to be some changes around here. All of the Maquis are in line, and about 25 of the Starfleet crew are with us." Torres: "Are you saying there's going to be a mutiny?" Chakotay's little smile answers that. "And when the shooting starts, I'm going to need to know which side you're on."

Later, after they arrive at the Bridge, Torres is working at the mission ops II station.

Janeway enters from the Captain's Ready Room.

Janeway: "Well, Commander? Voyager's all yours." Chakotay: "There's a first time for everything, I guess. Don't worry, Captain. I'll keep your ship safe and sound." Janeway: "I'm sure you will."

Torres observes.

Paris, via comms: "Shuttlebay to Captain Janeway." Janeway, via comms: "Go ahead, Mr Paris." Paris, via comms: "The shuttle's ready to go whenever you are." Janeway, via comms: "On my way."

Chakotay: "Captain, I've been thinking. Are you sure you don't want to take Lieutenant Tuvok with you, just in case the Rukani turn out to be less friendly than they seem?"

Tuvok: "I assure you, Commander, I have made thorough preparations for the Captain's safety during her away mission. You, on the other hand, are still adapting to your duties as First Officer. Under the circumstances, I believe my time would be better spent assisting you in your effort to justify the trust the Captain has placed in you."

Janeway: "I appreciate your concern for my safety, Mr Chakotay, but Tuvok's right. Lieutenant Paris and I will be just fine. I'll see you in 24 hours." She leaves the Bridge.

Chakotay: "Lieutenant, I want you to keep close tabs on the Captain's shuttle. Let's make sure she doesn't run into any trouble." Tuvok: "Aye, sir."

Chakotay goes over to Ops. "Ensign, let's shut down those transporters and start that diagnostic we've been putting off." Kim: "Sir, are you sure we shouldn't wait for the Captain to get back?" Tuvok: "Ensign Kim, you have been given a direct order. Do as the Commander tells you." Kim: "Aye, sir."

Chakotay goes to Torres. "Have you finished upgrading the internal sensors, Ensign?" Torres: "I'm working on it, sir." Chakotay: "I hope so."

Two crewmen enter the Bridge and stand waiting. Chakotay approaches them. One of them, Crewman O'Donnell, hands him a PADD. He tells them: "Wait here." Tuvok: "Is something wrong, sir?" Chakotay: "No, it's just tomorrow's duty roster."

He goes and sits on the edge of his First Officer's seat, apparently reading the PADD.

Tuvok: "Sir, Captain Janeway's shuttle has gone to warp." Chakotay: "Thank you, Tuvok." He uses the comm. system: "Chakotay to all hands. Let's do it!" Tuvok: "Sir?" Chakotay does not reply but instead leaps to his feet and fires a phaser at Tuvok! Tuvok falls, stunned, taken by surprise.

O'Donnell fires a phaser to stun the helmsman.

O'Donnell's companion, named Carlson (rank unknown), fires a phaser at Kim but Kim manages to duck in time.

Kim grabs a phaser and stays in cover behind his console. Kim yells: "Red alert! Security to the Bridge!"

Over the sound of the red alert klaxon, Chakotay tells him calmly: "You're wasting your time, Harry. All my teams have taken control of security, engineering and all key systems." Kim: "You'll never get away with this. People'll fight back!" Chakotay: "That's going to be a little difficult. All your off-duty Starfleet friends have been locked down in quarters. Kim realises he will receive no help. Desperately he jumps to his feet and aims a phaser at Chakotay, but suddenly a phaser blast stuns him, knocking him over.

The blast came from Torres' phaser! This marks the end of resistance on the Bridge to Chakotay's mutiny!
