Tuvok: "Perhaps the ship's stabilizers are not operating at peak efficiency."
Gaunt Gary: "Yeah, and maybe Tom Terrific over here forgot to tell you that Sandrine's table rolls a little to the east."
   
Jetrel: "Something so enormous as science will not stop for something as small as man."
   
Jetrel: "There is no way I can apologize to you, Mr. Neelix. That is why I have not tried."
   
Jetrel: "The day we tested the Cascade when I saw that blinding light, brighter than a thousand suns, I knew at that moment exactly what I had become."
   
Neelix: "I wanted to tell you that I forgive you."
   
Doctor: "Mr. Neelix is unconscious. It appears he’s been tranquillized."
   
Neelix: "You may be right, but I hate him. And I don’t think I can stop hating him."
Kes: Maybe you have to stop hating yourself first. "
   
Neelix: "Hard to believe that on clear nights you could look up from Talax and see the shimmering lights of the colony. The night of the cascade a bright flash cut across the sky. It was so blinding that people threw themselves to the ground. Then everything stopped, like a moment out of time, then we all looked up to see where the flash had come from, but the sky seemed oddly empty. Took most of us a few seconds to realize it was because Rinax was - gone. Of course the moon was still there, we just couldn’t see it because of that Metreon cloud."
   
Neelix: "I hope you have to live with that a very long time."
Jetrel: "I’m afraid you will not get your wish, Mister Neelix."
Neelix: "And why is that?"
Jetrel: "I have advanced metremia. I will be dead in a matter of days."
   
Neelix: "That’s a sad story, Jetrel. But let me tell you another one. A man goes back to Rinax after the cascade. Back to what had been his home to look for survivors. But the impact of the blast has set off hundreds of fires, and there’s nothing there. Just smoldering ruins and the stench of seared flesh. But in the distance, in the middle of all that emptiness, from out of this huge cloud of billowing dust he can see bodies moving, whimpering, coming toward him. They’re monsters, their flesh horribly charred, the color of shale. One of them comes toward him, mangled arms outstretched and he can’t help it, he turns away frightened. But then the thing speaks and he knows" by the sound of her voice that she’s not a monster at all but a child, a little girl.
Jetrel: "Mister Neelix, I...."
Neelix: "Her name was Palaxia. We brought her back to Talax with the other survivors. Over the next few weeks I stayed at her bedside and watched her wither away. Those are consequences, Doctor Jetrel!"
