SCORPION, Pt 1

Paris: Better to ride the rapids than face the hive.

Janeway: We'll do everything in our power to avoid a direct confrontation, but if and when we do engage the Borg I'm confident that we'll be ready. I have faith in each and every one of you. Let's do it.

Janeway: This day was inevitable. We all knew it and we've all tried to prepare ourselves for the challenge ahead. But at what point is the risk too great? At what point do we come about and retreat to friendly territory? Could the crew accept living out the rest of their lives in the Delta Quadrant? I'm looking to all these captains... my comrades in arms. But the truth is...I'm alone.
Chakotay: If that moment comes, we'll face it together and we'll make the right decision. You're not alone Kathryn.
Janeway: Three years ago, I didn't even know your name. Today I can't imagine a day without you.

Tuvok: Curious.
Chakotay: That's not the word I had in mind.

Kes: It's not the Borg that we should be worried about...it's them.

Doctor: In essence, Mr. Kim is being eaten alive.

Doctor: Resistance in this case is far from futile.

Janeway: Fight it, Harry. That's an order.

Janeway: I'm not ready to walk out onto the bridge and tell the crew we're quitting. I can't do it, Chakotay...not yet.

Janeway: We just need the courage to see this through to the end.
Chakotay: There are other types of courage. Like the courage to accept that there are some situations beyond your control. Not every problem has an immediate solution.

Chakotay: I think you're struggling to justify your plan because your desire to get this crew home is blinding you to other options. I know you, Kathryn. Sometimes...you don't know when to step back.
Janeway: I've made my decision. Now...do I have your support?
Chakotay: You're the Captain. I'm the first officer. I'll follow your orders. But that doesn't change my belief that we're making a fatal mistake.
Janeway: Then I guess I'm alone after all. Dismissed.

Janeway when being scanned by the Borg: Think good thoughts.
