Quotes

Captain Geordi La Forge: If you succeed, countless lives will be affected.
Chakotay: We're here to save 150 lives - our crew.
Captain Geordi La Forge: I understand. And I might be doing the same thing if I were in your position, but I've got my own crew to protect, not to mention fifteen years of history. So - I'm asking you again: stand down, and return the transmitter.
Chakotay: You know I can't do that.
Captain Geordi La Forge: And you know I have to try to stop you.
Chakotay: Yes, I know. Good luck.
Captain Geordi La Forge: Same to you.
