Memorable quotes[]

"Ooh, a mystery. I love mysteries. It reminds me of your holonovel."
"Oh? Which part? When Velencia is torn between lovers, or when Rodrigo created holo-duplicates of himself to evade detection? Oh, no. Oh, no."
"Computer, turn off all holo-emitters in this room, save for The Doctor. Admiral override."
"I can't believe this. They created imposters with fake life sign subroutines to fool my sensors. I've been betrayed by my own brilliant storylines!"

-- Hologram Dal, The Doctor and Janeway

"I don't know who or what is after them, but if we don't find them first, we may lose more than just eight minutes."

-- Janeway
