Quotes
-
Ocampan Doctor : I hope you're feeling better. I know how frightening all this must be for both of you. I've brought some clothes, if you care to change.
B'Elanna Torres : Why are you holding us here?
Ocampan Doctor : You are not prisoners. In fact, we consider you honored guests. The Caretaker has sent you to us. As long as you are not violent, you are free to leave your quarters.
Harry Kim : What's wrong with us? What are these things?
Ocampan Doctor : We really don't know. You must be hungry. Would you care to join me on the courtyard for a meal?
-
Harry Kim : We're underground.
Ocampan Doctor : Our society is subterranean. We've lived here for over 500 generations.
B'Elanna Torres : But before that, you lived on the surface?
Ocampan Doctor : Until the warming began.
Harry Kim : The warming?
Ocampan Doctor : When our surface turned into a desert and the Caretaker came to protect us. Our ancient journals tell us he opened a deep chasm in the ground and led our ancestors to this place. Since then, he has provided for all our needs.
-
Harry Kim : Is this how the Caretaker communicates with you?
Ocampan Doctor : He never communicates directly. We try to interpret his wishes as best we can.
Harry Kim : I'm curious to know how you've interpreted the Caretaker's reason for sending us here.
Ocampan Doctor : We believe he must have separated you from your own species for their protection.
B'Elanna Torres : Their protection?
Ocampan Doctor : From your illness. Perhaps he's trying to prevent a plague.
B'Elanna Torres : We weren't sick until we met your Caretaker.
Ocampan Doctor : From time to time, he asks us to care for people with this disease. It's the least we can do.
B'Elanna Torres : There have been others, like us?
Ocampan Doctor : Yes.
B'Elanna Torres : Where are they?
Ocampan Doctor : Your condition is serious. We don't know exactly how to treat it. I'm afraid the others did not recover.
