Tuvok enters the Bridge to find Kim playing the clarinet. He has composed a concerto which he calls "Echoes of the Void".

Tuvok: "Anything to report?"
Kim: "Not even a stray electron."

Tom Paris shows Seven around the rocketship in the Captain Proton holoprogram.

Paris: "Now when we last saw our heroes they'd retaken their rocketship. Dr Chaotica had escaped but he left behind his trusty robot to foil Captain Proton."
Seven: "My designation?"
Paris: "You're Constance Goodheart, you're my secretary."
Seven: "Secretary?"
Paris: "Yeah, you tag along on all the missions. Now, I want you to keep the robot occupied while I save Earth."

Computer, run program.
Satan's Robot advances toward Seven who continues to behave like Seven, and certainly not all frightened or screaming like the character Constance Goodheart.

Satan's Robot: "Citizen of Earth, surrender, do not resist."
Seven: "I am Borg."
She opens the control panel on the front of Satan's Robot, and pulls out the wiring. Immediately the robot stops, its arms extend and fall, its voice fails as it says "Surrender" and it tilts - totally deactivated.
Seven: "The robot has been neutralised. May I leave now?"

Paris: "Come on, Seven. Give it a chance. The galaxy's at stake."

On the Bridge, as Kim is playing his clarinet concerto (or rather, solo), suddenly the ship is jolted. He stops and hurries to his post.
Kim: "We've dropped out of warp. We're losing power."
Tuvok: "Switch to auxiliary."
Kim: "No effect."

All over the ship the power goes down.
In the Messhall the lights go out and the only things that can be seen are the flames on Neelix's cookers whose flames are gas-lit or a similar fuel not linked to the ship's power systems.

Lights in the corridors go out. Sickbay goes dark leaving, for a moment, only the Doctor's office lit.

Accompanied by Tuvok, Kim accesses a control panel.
Kim: "I was hoping for a change in pace but a blackout isn't exactly what I had in mind. I'll try tapping into the energy reserves."
Wearing a Sims beacon (wrist-mounted) Chakotay walks along a corridor. When he hears a sound like sobbing he goes in search of its source.
Main Engineering bustles with activity as Torres oversees her busy engineers trying to bring power back online. She orders them to "get inside those plasma injectors."
Trapped on the Holodeck together, Paris fiddles for a moment before managing to activate an old Earth torch. As light shines forth, he tells Seven in his Captain Proton voice: "Captain Proton to the rescue!" As Paris he adds, "Not exactly Starfleet issue." Thanks to the light they find and access the control panel. "Shipwide power loss. Everything's offline - main power, auxiliary."
Seven: "Independent subsystems are operational: environmental controls, holodecks. Reroute power from this holodeck to the emergency relays."
Paris, briefly marking how she orders him about: "Yes, ma'am. No luck. The hologrid is frozen."
Chakotay finds the source of the sobbing. It is Neelix.
Neelix: "Don't mind me."
Chakotay: "There's been a power loss."
He helps Neelix up and helps him along.
Neelix: "Who's worried?"
Chakotay: "Take deep breaths, nice and slow."
