The Bridge

Kathryn: "No. We don't. They're at least familiar with some of the area. We have absolutely no idea what's going on,"

Cavit: "According to their story, they didn't know anything about it either. We have a chance. We can learn."

Kathryn: "Henry. We have to trust them,"

Cavit: "No. I don't trust them at all."

Kathryn: "Then you will either stay silent about your thoughts, or I will relieve you of duty,"

Cavit: I nodded, "Alright."

Kathryn: I nodded. "I'm open for suggestions on what to do until Tom and B'Elanna get back,"

Cavit: "It seems all we can do is wait."

Kathryn: I ignored him. "Chakotay? Any ideas?"

Chakotay: "Only to appear as peaceful as possible. I don't particularly want to be attacked without help."

Kathryn: "Mister Tuvok, take the weapons offline,"

Chakotay: "Tom should be back soon."

Tuvok: "Weapons powered down,"

Kathryn: "I hope so," I nodded.

Chakotay: "Mister Kim, what is the status of the Kazon's weapons?"

Kathryn: "They stopped firing, I'd like to think there's a reason,"

Chakotay: "We could hail them again."

Harry: "No need, they are hailing us," I replied.

Kathryn: I sighed. "On screen,"

Chakotay: "What now, Culluh?" I asked as it came on screen.

Culluh: "What was the shuttle for? Are they fleeing?"

Chakotay: I thought quickly, "It is possible they were fleeing. We had no idea that they had left until they launched the shuttle. We had no way to beam them back because we couldn't get a lock on them."

Kulluh: "You humans are all cowards...." I sneered.

Chakotay: "No more cowardly than you, Culluh."

Culluh: I raised an eyebrow. "Prepare to be boarded,"

Chakotay: "Not if we can help it. Tuvok?"

Tuvok: "Shields are up, and at one hundred percent power. I do not see a chance of them boarding us,"
