Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,069 --> 00:00:07,062
Captain's Log, Stardate 48623.5.
2
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:10,598
There are 246 elements
known to Federation science.
3
00:00:10,677 --> 00:00:13,874
We believe we have
just discovered the 247th
4
00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:18,247
inside the ring system
of a Class-D planet.
5
00:00:18,318 --> 00:00:20,684
The element has
an unusually large atomic mass--
6
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:22,449
over 550 nucleons.
7
00:00:22,522 --> 00:00:23,511
And the readings are constant.
8
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:24,921
The element appears
to be stable.
9
00:00:24,991 --> 00:00:28,154
A stable, transuranic element
inside a natural environment.
10
00:00:28,228 --> 00:00:29,490
This is a first.
11
00:00:29,562 --> 00:00:31,393
Can you imagine what we
could make with this stuff?
12
00:00:31,464 --> 00:00:34,558
Probe casings that could go
into the core of a sun.
13
00:00:34,634 --> 00:00:35,828
Ultrathin reactor shielding.
14
00:00:35,902 --> 00:00:36,891
That's assuming we can mine it.
15
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:37,994
Ensign, try and locate
16
00:00:38,104 --> 00:00:40,163
the highest concentration
of the element.
17
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,229
The element is present
18
00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:43,275
in most of the asteroids
that comprise the rings.
19
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:46,608
l can isolate a sample
and beam it aboard.
20
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:47,805
Or better yet,
maybe we could get
21
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:49,007
a first-hand look
at this element
22
00:00:49,082 --> 00:00:50,879
in its natural environment.
23
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:53,441
lt looks like most
of these asteroids
24
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,385
support Class-M atmospheres.
25
00:00:55,455 --> 00:00:57,889
Good idea. Commander,
you're in charge.
26
00:00:57,957 --> 00:00:59,390
Aye, Captain.
27
00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:01,723
Mr. Kim, would you
like to join us?
28
00:01:01,795 --> 00:01:03,387
l wouldn't miss it, sir.
29
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:07,929
The highest concentration
30
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,435
is about 30 meters
directly ahead.
31
00:01:10,503 --> 00:01:13,028
l'm picking up
a large cavern in there.
32
00:01:13,106 --> 00:01:14,698
The readings are...
33
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:16,742
What the hell is this?
34
00:01:18,311 --> 00:01:19,972
lt's organic.
35
00:01:20,046 --> 00:01:23,812
Some kind of biopolymer residue.
36
00:01:23,883 --> 00:01:25,874
l want to see what's ahead.
37
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:45,904
The readings are higher
over here,
38
00:01:45,972 --> 00:01:48,702
but l still can't find
the source of the...
39
00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:52,977
Commander?
40
00:01:58,852 --> 00:02:01,980
Class-5 humanoid.
41
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:04,649
lt appears to be dead.
42
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,759
Captain, there are
18 bodies here--
43
00:04:30,837 --> 00:04:33,067
all humanoid--
1 1 male, seven female.
44
00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:34,436
From what we can tell,
45
00:04:34,507 --> 00:04:36,372
they're in various stages
of decomposition.
46
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:38,603
Some have been here for years.
47
00:04:38,678 --> 00:04:40,839
Others, no longer
than a few days.
48
00:04:40,913 --> 00:04:43,746
ln fact, one body arrived
less than 12 hours ago.
49
00:04:43,816 --> 00:04:44,976
Arrived from where?
50
00:04:45,051 --> 00:04:46,177
l don't know, Captain,
51
00:04:46,252 --> 00:04:47,879
but from the position
of the arms
52
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:50,149
l'd say we're looking
at some kind of burial site.
53
00:04:50,223 --> 00:04:52,487
What about the element
we discovered?
54
00:04:52,558 --> 00:04:55,118
lt's emanating
from their bodies, Captain.
55
00:04:55,194 --> 00:04:57,355
We think it's
some kind of byproduct
56
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,591
of their decomposition process.
57
00:04:59,666 --> 00:05:02,499
l recommend we leave these
bodies in peace, Captain.
58
00:05:02,568 --> 00:05:05,036
However, Mr. Kim
has a different opinion.
59
00:05:05,104 --> 00:05:06,594
With all due respect, Captain,
60
00:05:06,673 --> 00:05:08,641
l have to disagree
with the Commander.
61
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:11,302
This is our first contact
with this race,
62
00:05:11,377 --> 00:05:14,005
and l think we should be
learning all we can about them.
63
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,412
lt's a unique
anthropological opportunity.
64
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:17,642
l understand the chance
65
00:05:17,717 --> 00:05:19,241
for scientific discovery,
Captain,
66
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,220
but whatever belief this race
has, they clearly meant
67
00:05:22,288 --> 00:05:23,414
for their dead to be left alone,
68
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:24,922
and l think we should
respect that.
69
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:27,016
l'm afraid
l agree with Commander Chakotay.
70
00:05:27,093 --> 00:05:29,425
Set your tricorders
for passive scans.
71
00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:31,622
l don't want
to disturb anything.
72
00:05:31,698 --> 00:05:33,131
Captain, the sanctity
73
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,531
of these bodies
should be respected.
74
00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:38,069
l recommend we make
visual observations only.
75
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:39,365
No tricorders.
76
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:40,929
Very well.
77
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,507
Keep me informed.
78
00:05:42,575 --> 00:05:43,735
Janeway out.
79
00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:44,970
All right.
80
00:05:45,078 --> 00:05:47,376
The only sensors you
have left are your eyes.
81
00:05:47,447 --> 00:05:48,539
Concentrate on details.
82
00:05:48,614 --> 00:05:49,979
We're going to have
to do a thorough report
83
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:53,280
when we get back.
84
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:57,289
Commander, thanks for letting me
voice my opinion to the Captain.
85
00:05:57,357 --> 00:06:00,121
l remember the first time
l went on a tomb excavation
86
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:01,888
on Ktaria Vll.
87
00:06:01,961 --> 00:06:04,156
l wanted to keep a memento
of the experience,
88
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:06,255
so l picked up a rock
from the burial site.
89
00:06:06,332 --> 00:06:09,392
Only l found out later
it wasn't just a rock.
90
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:11,232
What was it?
91
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:13,067
lt was a sacred stone.
92
00:06:13,139 --> 00:06:16,108
The Ktarians lay thousands
of them in the Tomb.
93
00:06:16,175 --> 00:06:18,473
Each one represents
a special prayer.
94
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,011
Without realizing it,
95
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:22,274
l had desecrated
that man's grave.
96
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:26,114
Well...
97
00:06:26,185 --> 00:06:28,517
l think l've found out
about all l can with my eyes.
98
00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:29,612
Really?
99
00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:32,249
What have you learned
about this culture so far?
100
00:06:32,325 --> 00:06:36,659
They like to bury their dead
on asteroids.
101
00:06:36,729 --> 00:06:39,630
That's about all l can tell
without a tricorder.
102
00:06:39,699 --> 00:06:41,257
No artifacts, no inscriptions,
103
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:42,767
just some naked dead people.
104
00:06:42,835 --> 00:06:45,235
You're looking,
but you're not seeing.
105
00:06:45,304 --> 00:06:46,601
The fact that they're
naked says a lot.
106
00:06:46,672 --> 00:06:48,139
lt means this race
doesn't believe
107
00:06:48,207 --> 00:06:49,401
in dressing the deceased.
108
00:06:49,475 --> 00:06:51,807
And the lack of artifacts
could indicate
109
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,311
they don't believe
any worldly goods
110
00:06:53,379 --> 00:06:55,779
can be taken into the afterlife.
111
00:06:55,848 --> 00:06:57,975
What makes you think
they believe
112
00:06:58,084 --> 00:06:59,642
in an afterlife at all?
113
00:06:59,719 --> 00:07:02,552
Look at the position
of the arms and hands.
114
00:07:02,655 --> 00:07:06,022
The bodies have been arranged
in poses of serenity,
115
00:07:06,058 --> 00:07:08,219
and they appear to be wrapped
in the same biopolymer residue
116
00:07:08,294 --> 00:07:09,989
we found out in the passageway--
117
00:07:10,062 --> 00:07:11,689
all indications
that this culture
118
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:13,095
has a great deal of ritual
119
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:15,430
associated
with disposing of the dead.
120
00:07:15,501 --> 00:07:18,470
That normally indicates
some belief in the afterlife.
121
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:20,699
The Klingons believe
in an afterlife,
122
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:22,536
but there's no burial ritual.
123
00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:24,473
They just dispose of the corpse
124
00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:25,909
by the most efficient
means possible.
125
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:27,536
Good point.
126
00:07:27,613 --> 00:07:30,639
However, some archeological digs
on the Klingon Homeworld...
127
00:07:35,488 --> 00:07:37,456
Tricorders.
128
00:07:37,523 --> 00:07:40,424
A dimensional distortion
is forming.
129
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:42,518
Some kind of subspace vacuole.
130
00:07:42,595 --> 00:07:44,688
Chakotay to Voyager.
Emergency beam-out.
131
00:07:44,764 --> 00:07:48,131
We're having trouble
locking on to your signals.
132
00:07:48,201 --> 00:07:49,168
Stand by.
133
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:50,566
Have everyone stand
closer together.
134
00:07:50,636 --> 00:07:52,331
l'm going to try
a blind beam-out
135
00:07:52,405 --> 00:07:53,497
centered on your com signal.
136
00:07:53,573 --> 00:07:55,666
Acknowledged. Energize!
137
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:01,975
Bridge to Transporter Room 3.
Do you have them?
138
00:08:02,048 --> 00:08:04,744
Subspace distortions
from the vacuole are interfering
139
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:05,749
with the transporter lock.
140
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:08,719
l'm attempting to compensate.
141
00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:10,653
Okay. l think l've got them.
142
00:08:15,194 --> 00:08:17,594
Chakotay and Lieutenant
Torres are aboard.
143
00:08:17,663 --> 00:08:19,494
So is one
of the humanoid bodies,
144
00:08:19,565 --> 00:08:21,863
but there's no sign
of Ensign Kim.
145
00:08:21,934 --> 00:08:24,198
Scan the asteroid.
146
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:26,238
No life signs, Captain.
147
00:08:26,305 --> 00:08:28,000
l'm broadening the scan.
148
00:08:28,074 --> 00:08:29,507
Nothing.
149
00:08:29,575 --> 00:08:32,339
He is nowhere in the
entire asteroid field.
150
00:08:32,411 --> 00:08:35,744
Seska, initiate Emergency
Transport Procedure 21 Alpha.
151
00:08:35,815 --> 00:08:38,181
l'm already on it, Captain.
152
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:39,183
lt's no use.
153
00:08:39,252 --> 00:08:40,583
His pattern's gone
154
00:08:40,653 --> 00:08:43,679
and the subspace vacuole
has disappeared.
155
00:08:43,756 --> 00:08:45,417
l'm looking
at the transporter logs.
156
00:08:45,491 --> 00:08:47,254
My only guess is he was
pulled into the vacuole.
157
00:08:47,326 --> 00:08:49,556
This isn't one of the bodies
we found in the cavern.
158
00:08:49,629 --> 00:08:50,561
lt's someone else.
159
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:52,928
This body might have come out
of the vacuole
160
00:08:53,032 --> 00:08:54,693
at the same time
Kim was taken in.
161
00:08:54,767 --> 00:08:55,825
Wait a minute.
162
00:08:55,902 --> 00:08:59,338
l'm showing signs of electrical
activity in the brain.
163
00:08:59,405 --> 00:09:01,270
lt looks like she died
just a few minutes ago.
164
00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:03,535
We might be able to revive her.
165
00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:06,373
lf we can, we might
get some answers.
166
00:09:06,445 --> 00:09:07,605
We can't interfere
167
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:11,616
with this woman's
natural process of death.
168
00:09:11,684 --> 00:09:14,016
What do you suggest we do,
Commander?
169
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:15,485
Kim's gone.
170
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:16,715
She's the only one
who might be able
171
00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:18,620
to tell us what happened.
172
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,227
Beam us directly to Sick Bay.
173
00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:23,819
Aye, Commander.
174
00:09:23,930 --> 00:09:26,728
Death is the end of this life,
175
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:30,633
but it is also the beginning
of a new journey.
176
00:09:30,703 --> 00:09:35,037
Ptera will now thrive
in the Next Emanation.
177
00:09:35,107 --> 00:09:39,168
This is both her sacred duty
and her great privilege.
178
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:41,406
Eler'atah.
179
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,505
As she begins her transition,
180
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,915
we promise
to carry memories of her
181
00:09:45,985 --> 00:09:47,976
so that when we enter the...
182
00:09:49,455 --> 00:09:51,923
Help! Get me out of here!
183
00:09:52,024 --> 00:09:54,049
She's... alive!
184
00:09:54,126 --> 00:09:55,855
Deactivate the cenotaph--
185
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:57,828
quickly!
186
00:09:57,897 --> 00:09:59,091
Let me out...!
187
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:09,571
Here it is.
188
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:11,735
Thanks.
189
00:10:13,746 --> 00:10:16,806
A lot of memories in this.
190
00:10:16,882 --> 00:10:19,851
We're so proud of you, Hatil.
191
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:22,444
This is such a generous,
selfless act.
192
00:10:22,521 --> 00:10:26,958
lt's my last gift for you
and the children.
193
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:29,085
And it's one we will
always cherish.
194
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,124
But l'm still going to miss you.
195
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,998
l know.
196
00:10:37,069 --> 00:10:39,037
l'll miss you, too.
197
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,238
But l'll see you
in the Next Emanation,
198
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:46,471
when you're ready to join me.
199
00:10:47,780 --> 00:10:49,941
Give my love to your father.
200
00:10:50,016 --> 00:10:53,315
Tell him that the
garili trees he planted
201
00:10:53,386 --> 00:10:56,947
have, have been in bloom
for three years straight.
202
00:10:57,023 --> 00:10:58,854
l will.
203
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:08,130
-Good-bye.
-Good-bye.
204
00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:27,979
Lie down.
205
00:11:28,054 --> 00:11:29,988
lt's going to be all right.
206
00:11:30,056 --> 00:11:32,024
We won't harm you.
207
00:11:34,393 --> 00:11:35,917
Who is that?
208
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:38,120
We're not sure yet.
209
00:11:38,197 --> 00:11:41,166
We think he came
from the Next Emanation.
210
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:43,963
The Next Emanation?
211
00:11:45,738 --> 00:11:47,899
You mean he's come back?
212
00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:49,440
Come back from where?
213
00:11:49,508 --> 00:11:51,635
We've called
for the thanatologist.
214
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:53,178
He'll be here any moment.
215
00:11:53,245 --> 00:11:54,473
l don't think there should be
216
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:56,845
any further discussion
about this until he arrives.
217
00:12:08,627 --> 00:12:10,561
How did you get here?
218
00:12:12,832 --> 00:12:14,561
l'm not sure.
219
00:12:16,769 --> 00:12:21,331
l just sort of woke up
inside one of those pods.
220
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:23,898
l was conducting
an investigation
221
00:12:23,976 --> 00:12:25,443
on an asteroid.
222
00:12:25,511 --> 00:12:26,944
We found some dead bodies.
223
00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:30,573
Then there was some kind
of subspace phenomenon.
224
00:12:30,649 --> 00:12:33,584
What do you mean
you saw dead people there?
225
00:12:42,728 --> 00:12:45,697
l'm, uh, Dr. Neria,
226
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:49,565
the Chief Thanatologist
of this facility.
227
00:12:49,635 --> 00:12:52,900
Ensign Harry Kim of
the Federation Starship Voyager.
228
00:12:52,972 --> 00:12:56,305
l see.
229
00:12:56,375 --> 00:12:59,867
What race are you from?
230
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:02,175
We call ourselves human.
231
00:13:02,281 --> 00:13:04,909
We come from a planet
called Earth
232
00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:07,214
in a distant part of the galaxy.
233
00:13:07,286 --> 00:13:10,517
He said he saw dead
people on an asteroid.
234
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:12,420
Dead?
235
00:13:12,491 --> 00:13:15,119
Look,
can you tell me where l am?
236
00:13:15,194 --> 00:13:18,186
Doctor, what does this mean?
237
00:13:18,264 --> 00:13:20,528
Rest, Hatil.
238
00:13:20,599 --> 00:13:22,931
There's no need for concern.
239
00:13:28,941 --> 00:13:32,604
May l speak to you
privately, Ensign Harry?
240
00:13:32,678 --> 00:13:35,374
Just Harry's fine.
241
00:13:35,447 --> 00:13:37,210
We are the Vhnori
242
00:13:37,283 --> 00:13:40,275
and this is our homeworld.
243
00:13:40,352 --> 00:13:42,912
We were investigating
one of the asteroids
244
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,149
in the rings around your planet.
245
00:13:45,224 --> 00:13:47,886
There are no rings
around our world.
246
00:13:49,295 --> 00:13:51,786
So... the subspace vacuole
247
00:13:51,864 --> 00:13:54,560
must have transported me
somewhere else.
248
00:13:54,633 --> 00:13:57,727
Do you have any star charts
l could look at?
249
00:13:57,803 --> 00:14:00,237
l'd like to figure
out where l am now
250
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:02,467
in relation to where l was.
251
00:14:02,541 --> 00:14:04,634
Where you are now
252
00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:07,008
is in the world of the living.
253
00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:09,138
Where you came from was...
254
00:14:10,649 --> 00:14:12,879
another dimension.
255
00:14:12,952 --> 00:14:14,249
Another dimension?
256
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,287
Yes.
257
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:18,915
You returned
from the Next Emanation.
258
00:14:18,991 --> 00:14:21,653
The afterlife.
259
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,197
How were you able to revive her?
260
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:32,703
lt's a simple process,
really.
261
00:14:32,771 --> 00:14:34,636
She died of a cancerous growth
on the brain stem.
262
00:14:34,707 --> 00:14:37,870
l removed the tumor,
replicated new neural tissue,
263
00:14:37,943 --> 00:14:40,639
and used the standard
Starfleet postmortem
264
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,374
resuscitation technique
for a Class-5 life-form.
265
00:14:42,448 --> 00:14:44,973
Why was she covered
with this bio-polymer?
266
00:14:45,084 --> 00:14:47,177
She wasn't covered
with it exactly.
267
00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:50,245
The bio-polymer is a byproduct
of her own tissues.
268
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:51,254
Explain.
269
00:14:51,323 --> 00:14:52,654
As her tissues decayed,
270
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:56,183
the cell membranes broke down
into a bio-polymer resin,
271
00:14:56,262 --> 00:14:58,856
which was then excreted
by her epidermal layer.
272
00:14:58,931 --> 00:15:01,798
My guess is it's
a natural decomposition process
273
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:03,801
for this species.
274
00:15:03,869 --> 00:15:06,303
So the other bio-polymer fibers
we found in the cavern were...
275
00:15:06,372 --> 00:15:07,304
Were probably the result
276
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:09,432
of other bodies
that had decomposed
277
00:15:09,508 --> 00:15:12,102
and left a residual membrane.
278
00:15:12,177 --> 00:15:13,337
ln essence, Commander,
279
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:15,642
you were strolling
through dead bodies.
280
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:20,914
Can you wake her?
281
00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:22,510
Yes, of course.
282
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:25,318
Kes, 2cc's of netinaline.
283
00:15:37,803 --> 00:15:38,929
Hello.
284
00:15:40,372 --> 00:15:41,771
l know this must be
285
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,365
very confusing for you,
but you're all right.
286
00:15:44,443 --> 00:15:47,173
My name is Kathryn Janeway.
287
00:15:47,246 --> 00:15:49,942
l'm Ptera.
288
00:15:50,015 --> 00:15:52,142
Where's my brother?
289
00:15:52,217 --> 00:15:53,514
Your brother?
290
00:15:53,585 --> 00:15:55,610
l'm afraid he's not here.
291
00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:58,282
But he's supposed to be here.
292
00:15:58,357 --> 00:16:00,723
They're all supposed to be here.
293
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:03,387
Ptera, we were able
to remove the tumor
294
00:16:03,462 --> 00:16:04,429
from your brain.
295
00:16:04,496 --> 00:16:05,963
You're going to be all right.
296
00:16:06,031 --> 00:16:07,464
We revived you
because one of our...
297
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:09,398
This is the Next Emanation?
298
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:11,436
This is the afterlife?
299
00:16:14,239 --> 00:16:16,707
No. No, it's not.
300
00:16:16,775 --> 00:16:18,242
You're on a starship.
301
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:19,800
This can't be right.
302
00:16:19,878 --> 00:16:21,243
My brother's supposed
to be here.
303
00:16:21,313 --> 00:16:22,245
Something's wrong.
304
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:24,111
-Let me explain.
-No.
305
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:26,481
No, get away from me.
306
00:16:26,552 --> 00:16:27,519
This isn't right!
307
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:28,553
This can't be right!
308
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:42,430
You're saying there
was a woman in here
309
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:43,525
just before l arrived?
310
00:16:43,602 --> 00:16:44,591
That's right.
311
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:45,728
Her name was Ptera.
312
00:16:45,804 --> 00:16:49,501
She was dying of a tumorous
lesion to her midbrain.
313
00:16:49,575 --> 00:16:50,974
Dying?
314
00:16:51,076 --> 00:16:52,839
So she wasn't dead yet?
315
00:16:52,911 --> 00:16:54,503
No, of course not.
316
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:57,481
She didn't die until
the cenotaph was activated.
317
00:16:57,549 --> 00:16:59,744
That's the purpose
of the cenotaph--
318
00:16:59,818 --> 00:17:01,547
it terminates a person's life
319
00:17:01,653 --> 00:17:04,713
just before the appearance
of a spectral rupture,
320
00:17:04,757 --> 00:17:06,622
and then it allows their body
321
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:08,956
to be taken
to the Next Emanation.
322
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:10,620
Spectral rupture.
323
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:13,290
Well... l can show you.
324
00:17:17,136 --> 00:17:20,128
This looks like what we would
call a subspace vacuole.
325
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:22,639
Does the cenotaph
create these ruptures?
326
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:24,801
No. They're
natural occurrences--
327
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:25,844
once every six hours.
328
00:17:25,911 --> 00:17:27,674
This entire complex
was built on this site
329
00:17:27,746 --> 00:17:29,441
because a spectral rupture
occurs here.
330
00:17:29,515 --> 00:17:32,541
We have thousands
of such sites on our world.
331
00:17:32,618 --> 00:17:37,487
Forgive my curiosity,
Harry, but, uh,
332
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:39,353
you are the first person
333
00:17:39,425 --> 00:17:43,293
ever to come back
from the afterlife.
334
00:17:43,362 --> 00:17:45,660
l have quite a few questions.
335
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:49,929
You said
that you saw dead bodies?
336
00:17:50,002 --> 00:17:51,469
That's right.
337
00:17:51,537 --> 00:17:56,497
There were...
seven females, 1 1 males.
338
00:17:56,575 --> 00:17:58,304
Some of the bodies
had been there for years.
339
00:17:58,377 --> 00:17:59,969
Others just for a few days.
340
00:18:00,012 --> 00:18:02,071
Are you saying that when we die,
341
00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:06,778
we go to some asteroid
and decompose?
342
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:09,310
Well...
343
00:18:09,388 --> 00:18:11,083
that's what
it looked like to us.
344
00:18:11,156 --> 00:18:13,522
These bodies,
did you perform
345
00:18:13,592 --> 00:18:15,492
any kind of bio-scans on them?
346
00:18:15,561 --> 00:18:17,085
W-Was there any specific
347
00:18:17,162 --> 00:18:19,062
medical data
that you can remember?
348
00:18:19,131 --> 00:18:21,861
Doctor, maybe l should
just stop right there.
349
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:25,301
This is what my people call
a First Contact situation,
350
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:27,770
and we've learned
to be very careful
351
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,401
about how much we tell
alien cultures we've just met.
352
00:18:31,477 --> 00:18:33,775
l would like to start
a complete bioanalysis
353
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:34,972
as soon as possible.
354
00:18:35,047 --> 00:18:36,173
lf you'll just follow
Dr. Ranora.
355
00:18:36,248 --> 00:18:38,910
lf you'll just follow
Dr. Ranora.
356
00:18:38,984 --> 00:18:40,417
Bioanalysis?
357
00:18:40,486 --> 00:18:43,819
Look, all l want to do
is get back to my ship
358
00:18:43,889 --> 00:18:46,687
and l think there might be a way
to use this spectral
359
00:18:46,758 --> 00:18:47,690
rupture of yours to...
360
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:49,750
You're not going anywhere.
361
00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:55,926
You are our first glimpse
into what lies beyond death.
362
00:18:56,034 --> 00:19:00,164
We are not going to let
this opportunity pass us by.
363
00:19:02,774 --> 00:19:05,743
We've completed our analysis
of the ring system.
364
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:08,473
Our sensors have detected
over 200,000 alien bodies
365
00:19:08,547 --> 00:19:10,310
on various asteroids
in the rings.
366
00:19:10,382 --> 00:19:11,440
From what we can tell,
367
00:19:11,517 --> 00:19:14,111
a subspace vacuole appears
about every two hours,
368
00:19:14,186 --> 00:19:16,279
deposits a body,
and then disappears.
369
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,152
We need to focus
on those vacuoles.
370
00:19:18,223 --> 00:19:20,020
Concentrate on trying
to probe them
371
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,060
with a high-resolution
subspace scan.
372
00:19:22,127 --> 00:19:23,458
See if you can find
any sign of Mr. Kim.
373
00:19:23,529 --> 00:19:25,292
Sick Bay to Captain Janeway.
374
00:19:25,364 --> 00:19:26,296
Go ahead.
375
00:19:26,365 --> 00:19:28,196
Our guest
has regained consciousness
376
00:19:28,267 --> 00:19:29,791
and she's a little calmer
this time.
377
00:19:29,868 --> 00:19:31,927
l'm on my way.
You have the Bridge.
378
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:36,031
That's, that's all l know.
379
00:19:36,108 --> 00:19:38,633
l'm sorry. l can't
tell you anything more.
380
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:40,678
You've told me quite a bit.
381
00:19:40,746 --> 00:19:42,839
At least now l have an idea
382
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:45,679
of what might
have happened to Mr. Kim.
383
00:19:45,751 --> 00:19:48,151
ls there anything
l can do for you?
384
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:50,916
Well, l'd, l'd like
some answers.
385
00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:52,581
About what?
386
00:19:52,658 --> 00:19:55,058
About what happens
to my people when we die.
387
00:19:57,062 --> 00:20:00,361
We're not sure, exactly,
388
00:20:00,432 --> 00:20:04,869
but from what we do know,
the vacuoles deposit the bodies
389
00:20:04,937 --> 00:20:07,269
on the asteroids
in this ring system.
390
00:20:07,339 --> 00:20:08,772
And then what?
391
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,205
l'm not sure what you mean.
392
00:20:10,275 --> 00:20:11,936
We're supposed to evolve
393
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:15,173
into a higher level
of consciousness when we die.
394
00:20:15,247 --> 00:20:16,179
We're supposed to gain
395
00:20:16,248 --> 00:20:18,079
a greater understanding
of the universe.
396
00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:21,677
All of our questions
are supposed to be answered.
397
00:20:21,753 --> 00:20:24,688
Ptera, l know this
must be frightening for you.
398
00:20:24,756 --> 00:20:26,951
You've been through
a very traumatic experience--
399
00:20:27,025 --> 00:20:29,425
it would frighten me--
400
00:20:29,494 --> 00:20:31,860
but please try to understand,
401
00:20:31,930 --> 00:20:35,422
just because l don't have
the answers to your questions
402
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,797
doesn't mean there aren't any.
403
00:20:39,504 --> 00:20:42,234
My brother...
404
00:20:42,307 --> 00:20:45,037
l always thought
l'd see him again.
405
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:51,049
l had so many things to tell him
about his children...
406
00:20:51,116 --> 00:20:53,107
the people he left behind...
407
00:20:54,786 --> 00:20:57,311
but he isn't here, is he?
408
00:20:57,389 --> 00:20:59,857
He's...
409
00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:05,095
So, what am l supposed
to do now,
410
00:21:05,163 --> 00:21:08,724
spend the rest of my life
on this... this... starship?
411
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,237
Ptera, l am going to do
everything in my power
412
00:21:13,305 --> 00:21:15,830
to figure out
just how you got here,
413
00:21:15,907 --> 00:21:19,468
and as soon as l know anything,
l will tell you.
414
00:21:19,544 --> 00:21:22,240
All right?
415
00:21:22,314 --> 00:21:23,747
All right.
416
00:21:23,815 --> 00:21:25,942
Maybe we should
get out of Sick Bay.
417
00:21:26,018 --> 00:21:28,282
Let you walk around
for a while, clear your mind.
418
00:21:28,353 --> 00:21:30,218
Maybe get something to eat.
419
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:31,551
Are you hungry?
420
00:21:31,623 --> 00:21:34,888
Yes. Actually, l could use
something to eat.
421
00:21:35,894 --> 00:21:36,861
What was that?!
422
00:21:36,928 --> 00:21:38,395
Janeway to Bridge.
Report.
423
00:21:38,463 --> 00:21:40,294
There's some kind
of dimensional distortion
424
00:21:40,365 --> 00:21:42,162
forming near Main Engineering,
Captain.
425
00:21:42,234 --> 00:21:44,361
lt looks like
a subspace vacuole.
426
00:21:44,436 --> 00:21:46,529
Janeway to Engineering.
B'Elanna, what's going on?
427
00:21:46,605 --> 00:21:49,199
l've pinpointed the location,
Captain.
428
00:21:49,274 --> 00:21:51,367
lt's right here in Engineering.
429
00:21:51,443 --> 00:21:53,104
Stand by.
430
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:04,054
Hatil, what are you saying?
431
00:22:07,025 --> 00:22:10,927
l'm just not sure l'm ready,
that's all.
432
00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:13,827
l don't understand.
433
00:22:13,899 --> 00:22:16,697
Neither do l.
434
00:22:16,768 --> 00:22:19,896
lt's just
that l'm starting to wonder
435
00:22:19,971 --> 00:22:23,668
what really happens
when we die...
436
00:22:23,742 --> 00:22:25,642
if l'm really going on
437
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:29,704
to a higher level
of consciousness.
438
00:22:29,781 --> 00:22:32,807
The alien, what has
he been telling you?
439
00:22:32,884 --> 00:22:35,876
All he's done is made
me stop and think
440
00:22:35,954 --> 00:22:38,388
about something we've
always taken for granted.
441
00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:42,826
And now that l've
thought about it,
442
00:22:42,894 --> 00:22:45,761
l'm not so eager to go
through with it anymore.
443
00:22:45,831 --> 00:22:48,732
Hatil, we know
nothing about him,
444
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,600
or why he's come here,
or why he's spreading lies
445
00:22:52,671 --> 00:22:54,002
about the Next Emanation.
446
00:22:54,139 --> 00:22:56,573
All l know is
you can't throw away
447
00:22:56,641 --> 00:22:58,939
a lifetime of belief
because of him.
448
00:22:59,010 --> 00:23:00,875
lt doesn't make any sense.
449
00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:05,707
l don't know
what to think anymore.
450
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:09,084
l'm scared, Araya.
451
00:23:11,089 --> 00:23:13,489
lt's going to be all right.
452
00:23:13,558 --> 00:23:16,356
Think about your father.
453
00:23:16,428 --> 00:23:18,157
He's waiting for you.
454
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:27,467
l'll see you
at the Transference Ritual.
455
00:23:32,911 --> 00:23:35,709
l don't know who you are,
or where you come from,
456
00:23:35,781 --> 00:23:38,079
but you stay away
from my husband.
457
00:23:38,150 --> 00:23:40,243
l'm sorry.
458
00:23:40,318 --> 00:23:41,979
l didn't mean to...
459
00:23:44,589 --> 00:23:48,116
Harry,
you have to forgive my wife.
460
00:23:48,193 --> 00:23:52,095
She's having trouble
understanding my concerns
461
00:23:52,164 --> 00:23:53,961
about the afterlife.
462
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:56,829
That's why l'm here.
463
00:23:56,902 --> 00:23:59,370
l'm, uh...
464
00:23:59,438 --> 00:24:01,201
getting ready to die.
465
00:24:01,306 --> 00:24:06,710
Forgive me for asking again,
but can you tell me anything
466
00:24:06,745 --> 00:24:09,805
about what l might find
in the Next Emanation?
467
00:24:09,881 --> 00:24:11,815
Everyone keeps asking me that,
468
00:24:11,883 --> 00:24:14,681
and l just keep giving
the same answer.
469
00:24:14,753 --> 00:24:15,913
l don't know.
470
00:24:16,021 --> 00:24:20,117
But you do come
from the afterlife.
471
00:24:20,192 --> 00:24:23,650
l come from a different reality,
maybe another dimension,
472
00:24:23,728 --> 00:24:26,162
and maybe it is your afterlife.
473
00:24:26,231 --> 00:24:27,698
l don't know.
474
00:24:27,766 --> 00:24:30,860
All l do know is that there
are countless billions
475
00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:33,496
of people there
who are born, live and die
476
00:24:33,572 --> 00:24:34,539
just like you do here.
477
00:24:34,606 --> 00:24:38,372
But you did see my people there.
478
00:24:38,443 --> 00:24:40,240
You said they were dead.
479
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:43,577
Yes, but...
480
00:24:43,648 --> 00:24:47,414
Look, for all l know,
your thanatologists are right,
481
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:48,748
and all l saw were
482
00:24:48,820 --> 00:24:50,913
the corporeal remains
of your people,
483
00:24:50,989 --> 00:24:53,890
and you do go on
to a higher consciousness.
484
00:24:53,959 --> 00:24:55,620
But it's, uh...
485
00:24:55,694 --> 00:24:59,653
it's also possible that...
486
00:24:59,731 --> 00:25:02,757
there is no higher
existence for us--
487
00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:07,896
that when we die,
we simply cease to exist.
488
00:25:08,006 --> 00:25:10,600
l...
489
00:25:10,675 --> 00:25:13,235
l really can't say.
490
00:25:13,311 --> 00:25:16,906
l don't know what happens
to your people after they die.
491
00:25:16,982 --> 00:25:20,008
l don't even know what happens
to my people after they die.
492
00:25:20,085 --> 00:25:24,647
Don't you have thanatologists,
people who study death?
493
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:26,918
Well, sort of.
494
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:30,586
There have certainly been
medical experts,
495
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:32,653
philosophers, theologians,
496
00:25:32,731 --> 00:25:35,700
who have spent
a great deal of time
497
00:25:35,767 --> 00:25:37,860
debating what happens
after death,
498
00:25:37,936 --> 00:25:40,496
but no one's come up
with an answer yet.
499
00:25:40,572 --> 00:25:43,803
My people have come
to think of death
500
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:47,311
as just another stage
of our existence.
501
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:51,315
There are some people
who are even eager to die.
502
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:55,476
lf they feel depressed
or lonely in this life,
503
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:57,886
they simply move on
to the next one.
504
00:25:57,956 --> 00:25:59,389
ls that why you're here?
505
00:25:59,457 --> 00:26:01,823
Because you're not happy
with your life?
506
00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:08,388
Ever since the, um...
507
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:09,831
accident...
508
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:15,567
life hasn't been easy.
509
00:26:17,108 --> 00:26:20,600
But l have to say this
is more my family's idea
510
00:26:20,679 --> 00:26:22,010
than it is mine.
511
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,047
Your family.
512
00:26:23,114 --> 00:26:26,447
l'm a burden to them right now.
513
00:26:26,518 --> 00:26:30,511
lt takes a lot of their time
and resources to care for me,
514
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:33,888
and l can't give
much back to them.
515
00:26:33,959 --> 00:26:38,362
So there was a family meeting,
and it was agreed that...
516
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:41,558
l should move on
to the Next Emanation.
517
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,198
You look appalled.
518
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:50,867
lt's not my place
to judge your culture,
519
00:26:50,942 --> 00:26:52,807
but from my perspective,
520
00:26:52,877 --> 00:26:55,437
it's a little chilling
to hear that.
521
00:26:57,349 --> 00:27:01,547
Even though the family
did it out of... love...
522
00:27:03,021 --> 00:27:09,358
and everyone was happy for me,
and they said they'd see me
523
00:27:09,427 --> 00:27:11,918
when they got
to the Next Emanation...
524
00:27:13,798 --> 00:27:16,130
l have to admit,
525
00:27:16,201 --> 00:27:17,566
there is a little voice
inside of me
526
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:20,366
that is terrified of dying
527
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:22,235
and since
l've been talking to you...
528
00:27:23,775 --> 00:27:26,073
that little voice
has started to get...
529
00:27:26,144 --> 00:27:28,009
louder.
530
00:27:37,522 --> 00:27:39,717
l'm reading another vacuole
forming on the ship.
531
00:27:39,791 --> 00:27:41,725
Tuvok, try remodulating
the shield harmonics.
532
00:27:41,793 --> 00:27:42,885
lt's no use, Captain.
533
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:45,725
The vacuole is still forming.
534
00:27:53,471 --> 00:27:55,268
Take the body
to the ship's morgue.
535
00:28:00,145 --> 00:28:02,409
This is odd.
536
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,640
Three bodies have appeared
537
00:28:03,715 --> 00:28:05,842
on Voyager so far,
and each one of them
538
00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:08,943
has released some kind
of neural energy.
539
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:10,578
ln every case,
the energy has passed
540
00:28:10,655 --> 00:28:14,751
through the hull
and out into the rings.
541
00:28:14,826 --> 00:28:17,192
The energy's frequency
is identical
542
00:28:17,262 --> 00:28:20,095
to the ambient radiation
in the asteroid field.
543
00:28:22,333 --> 00:28:23,664
The vacuoles are disrupting
544
00:28:23,735 --> 00:28:25,464
the warp core's
magnetic interlocks.
545
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:27,869
lt won't be long before
we lose antimatter containment.
546
00:28:27,972 --> 00:28:29,098
The vacuoles have all formed
547
00:28:29,174 --> 00:28:31,404
within 20 meters
of the warp core.
548
00:28:31,476 --> 00:28:33,444
They might be attracted to it.
549
00:28:33,511 --> 00:28:34,910
Janeway to Bridge.
550
00:28:35,013 --> 00:28:36,310
Mr. Paris, lay in a course.
551
00:28:36,381 --> 00:28:37,439
l want to get at least
552
00:28:37,515 --> 00:28:39,847
a half a light year away.
Warp seven.
553
00:28:39,918 --> 00:28:41,351
Aye, Captain.
554
00:28:48,393 --> 00:28:49,826
Paris to Janeway.
555
00:28:49,894 --> 00:28:51,828
l've brought us out of warp.
556
00:28:51,896 --> 00:28:54,694
We're point six light-years
from the ring system.
557
00:28:54,766 --> 00:28:57,394
Any other subspace
vacuoles forming?
558
00:28:57,469 --> 00:28:58,731
No.
559
00:28:58,803 --> 00:29:00,202
The magnetic interlocks
have stabilized.
560
00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:01,329
l think we're safe out here.
561
00:29:01,372 --> 00:29:03,306
Begin working
on a way to protect
562
00:29:03,374 --> 00:29:04,432
the warp core
from these vacuoles.
563
00:29:04,509 --> 00:29:05,567
Aye, Captain.
564
00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:14,715
Sometimes l come in here and
just stare out at the stars.
565
00:29:14,786 --> 00:29:15,810
for hours.
566
00:29:15,887 --> 00:29:18,856
l never get tired
of looking at them.
567
00:29:18,923 --> 00:29:21,824
We were always told we
would see beautiful sights
568
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:25,454
in the Next Emanation--
colors, lights--
569
00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:27,589
and that we would see
them with new eyes
570
00:29:27,665 --> 00:29:28,791
and a new understanding.
571
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:32,394
But now...
572
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:35,633
what happened to the others--
573
00:29:35,707 --> 00:29:38,107
my brother...
574
00:29:38,176 --> 00:29:39,643
my father...
575
00:29:39,711 --> 00:29:43,579
and everyone before them.
576
00:29:43,648 --> 00:29:47,084
People die every day
on my world.
577
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:50,246
Do they all end up
as lifeless corpses?
578
00:29:50,321 --> 00:29:54,382
When people die on my world,
we bury them beneath the soil
579
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:58,691
and we believe that their comra
is released into the afterlife.
580
00:29:58,763 --> 00:30:00,890
Their comra?
581
00:30:00,965 --> 00:30:02,899
Our soul, our spirit,
582
00:30:02,967 --> 00:30:05,094
the essence of our beings.
583
00:30:05,170 --> 00:30:07,604
Maybe something similar
happens to you.
584
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:12,109
But you don't understand.
585
00:30:12,177 --> 00:30:15,613
We don't believe
in any kind of spirit.
586
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,639
When we die, we're supposed
to reappear as physical beings
587
00:30:19,717 --> 00:30:21,651
with arms and legs.
588
00:30:21,719 --> 00:30:23,346
That's the whole point
589
00:30:23,421 --> 00:30:26,754
of sending our people
through the spectral ruptures.
590
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:31,319
We're supposed to travel on to
the Next Emanation as ourselves,
591
00:30:31,396 --> 00:30:33,796
and be reunited
with our families.
592
00:30:38,002 --> 00:30:40,402
But none of that is true...
593
00:30:40,471 --> 00:30:41,995
is it?
594
00:30:47,078 --> 00:30:50,047
None of the people l love
are here.
595
00:30:51,649 --> 00:30:53,207
l'm alone.
596
00:30:57,155 --> 00:30:59,020
l don't belong here.
597
00:30:59,090 --> 00:31:01,320
l can't live like this.
598
00:31:01,426 --> 00:31:04,486
Please, can't you send me home?
599
00:31:04,529 --> 00:31:07,464
l think there is
only one person on this ship
600
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:10,160
who could answer that question.
601
00:31:10,235 --> 00:31:13,568
We're doing everything we can
to get you back home, Ptera.
602
00:31:13,638 --> 00:31:15,833
Once we locate
our missing officer,
603
00:31:15,907 --> 00:31:17,875
we're hoping he might be able
to tell us enough to...
604
00:31:17,942 --> 00:31:18,874
Wait a minute, Captain.
605
00:31:18,943 --> 00:31:21,411
Maybe there is a way
to send Ptera home
606
00:31:21,479 --> 00:31:23,879
and find Ensign Kim
at the same time.
607
00:31:23,948 --> 00:31:25,347
Explain.
608
00:31:25,416 --> 00:31:27,941
What if we recreated
the transporter accident?
609
00:31:28,019 --> 00:31:29,782
lf it's true that Harry was
pulled through the vacuole
610
00:31:29,854 --> 00:31:31,287
during transport,
we might be able
611
00:31:31,356 --> 00:31:33,381
to reproduce
those circumstances,
612
00:31:33,458 --> 00:31:34,720
and send Ptera home.
613
00:31:34,792 --> 00:31:37,522
We could send Ptera through
with a subspace transponder,
614
00:31:37,595 --> 00:31:38,823
and hope the signal
will penetrate
615
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:39,829
the dimensional barrier,
616
00:31:39,898 --> 00:31:41,661
and allow us
to lock on to Kim
617
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:42,665
with a transporter beam.
618
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:43,666
Right.
619
00:31:43,735 --> 00:31:44,929
So l can get home?
620
00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:48,129
Ptera, you should know
621
00:31:48,206 --> 00:31:50,333
that there's no guarantee
this is going to work.
622
00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:51,966
l understand the risk,
623
00:31:52,043 --> 00:31:54,011
but l've already
been dead once,
624
00:31:54,112 --> 00:31:57,047
and l'm prepared to die again
if necessary.
625
00:31:57,115 --> 00:31:59,982
So if there's a chance
l can get home,
626
00:32:00,051 --> 00:32:01,643
l'm willing to take the risk.
627
00:32:01,686 --> 00:32:04,382
All right.
628
00:32:04,422 --> 00:32:06,356
Commander, prepare
a subspace transponder
629
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:07,823
and teach Ptera how to use it.
630
00:32:07,892 --> 00:32:09,018
Aye, Captain.
631
00:32:11,596 --> 00:32:13,530
Captain's Log, supplemental.
632
00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:15,691
We've returned
to the ring system,
633
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:18,861
and we're preparing to send
Ptera back to her dimension.
634
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:20,564
Lieutenant Torres
has found a way
635
00:32:20,638 --> 00:32:23,106
to temporarily protect the
warp core against the vacuoles,
636
00:32:23,174 --> 00:32:24,402
but she is uncertain
637
00:32:24,475 --> 00:32:28,172
how long her measures
will be effective.
638
00:32:28,246 --> 00:32:30,976
You understand the instructions
for Mr. Kim, if you find him?
639
00:32:31,049 --> 00:32:32,209
Yes.
640
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:33,250
We've got one, Commander,
641
00:32:33,318 --> 00:32:35,616
forming ten meters
below us, Deck 13.
642
00:32:35,687 --> 00:32:36,949
Okay, let's see
if your dampening field
643
00:32:37,021 --> 00:32:39,319
is going to protect
the warp core.
644
00:32:39,390 --> 00:32:43,554
The field is fluctuating
slightly... but holding.
645
00:32:43,628 --> 00:32:45,619
Engineering
to Transporter Room 3.
646
00:32:45,697 --> 00:32:47,324
There's a vacuole
forming on Deck 13.
647
00:32:47,398 --> 00:32:49,298
Magnetic interlocks are stable.
648
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:50,459
Acknowledged.
649
00:32:50,535 --> 00:32:52,901
l see the vacuole.
Locking on.
650
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:01,508
Good luck, Ptera.
651
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:04,915
l have a transporter lock.
652
00:33:05,016 --> 00:33:06,313
Energizing.
653
00:33:06,384 --> 00:33:09,876
Matching her pattern
to the subspace distortions.
654
00:33:09,954 --> 00:33:12,422
Wait a minute, the vacuole
is shutting down.
655
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:14,856
l can't get her pattern through.
656
00:33:14,926 --> 00:33:16,484
Abort the procedure.
Pull her back.
657
00:33:16,561 --> 00:33:19,587
l'm trying.
l'm losing her pattern.
658
00:33:19,664 --> 00:33:21,757
Shunt emergency power
into buffer tank 4.
659
00:33:23,434 --> 00:33:26,164
That's it.
l've got the pattern.
660
00:33:37,815 --> 00:33:39,339
She's dead.
661
00:33:39,417 --> 00:33:40,349
ls there any brain activity?
662
00:33:40,418 --> 00:33:41,544
Can we revive her?
663
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:44,722
Janeway to Lieutenant Torres.
664
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:46,814
How long until we have to leave?
665
00:33:46,891 --> 00:33:48,859
l'd say we're safe
for another two hours.
666
00:33:48,926 --> 00:33:50,917
That gives us two hours
to find Mr. Kim.
667
00:33:50,995 --> 00:33:53,156
We'll have to stay within
high-range scanner range.
668
00:33:53,231 --> 00:33:54,562
Perform another subspace scan.
669
00:33:54,632 --> 00:33:56,930
This time, extend
the scan radius to ten AU.
670
00:33:57,001 --> 00:33:58,764
l'm on my way to Engineering.
Janeway out.
671
00:33:58,836 --> 00:33:59,768
Aye, Captain.
672
00:33:59,837 --> 00:34:02,328
Ensign, beam her onto
one of the asteroids.
673
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,907
Aye, Captain.
674
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:05,772
That's where
she was meant to be.
675
00:34:11,749 --> 00:34:14,809
l hope you find
your afterlife, Ptera.
676
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:19,615
Why?
677
00:34:19,690 --> 00:34:21,920
We want to make
a more detailed scan
678
00:34:21,993 --> 00:34:23,483
of your
microcellular structures,
679
00:34:23,561 --> 00:34:25,927
and a complete examination
of your neural chemistry.
680
00:34:26,030 --> 00:34:29,431
This facility isn't equipped
for such a detailed bioanalysis.
681
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:32,867
The complex at Paffran
has everything we need.
682
00:34:32,937 --> 00:34:35,906
Look, if my ship
is still searching for me,
683
00:34:35,973 --> 00:34:37,873
they're not going
to stay there forever.
684
00:34:37,942 --> 00:34:39,034
l have to get back.
685
00:34:39,110 --> 00:34:40,407
That's not possible.
686
00:34:40,478 --> 00:34:43,345
We don't even understand
how you got here.
687
00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:45,348
Then maybe l can figure out
a way to get back.
688
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:47,316
Let me take a look
at one of those cenotaphs.
689
00:34:47,385 --> 00:34:48,852
There's no time for that.
690
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,286
Word about you has spread
very quickly, Harry.
691
00:34:51,355 --> 00:34:53,380
Not only in the scientific
world, but in the community
692
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:54,390
at large.
693
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,395
There are many people
who are very... nervous
694
00:34:58,463 --> 00:34:59,987
about what you represent.
695
00:35:00,031 --> 00:35:01,328
Some even see you as a threat
696
00:35:01,365 --> 00:35:03,094
to their beliefs
about the afterlife.
697
00:35:03,167 --> 00:35:07,001
We need to take you
to a more secure location.
698
00:35:07,071 --> 00:35:09,505
lt's for your own protection.
699
00:35:09,574 --> 00:35:11,235
Wait!
700
00:35:11,309 --> 00:35:13,777
l'm sorry, Harry.
701
00:35:13,845 --> 00:35:15,813
lt's out of my control.
702
00:35:25,423 --> 00:35:27,152
What are you doing?
703
00:35:27,225 --> 00:35:30,058
Preparing for
the Transference Ritual.
704
00:35:32,096 --> 00:35:34,860
This is a ceremonial shroud
705
00:35:34,932 --> 00:35:39,130
that's been in my family
for five generations.
706
00:35:39,203 --> 00:35:44,641
So they make you wrap yourself
in your own death shroud.
707
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:48,509
lt's something we look
forward to, actually.
708
00:35:48,579 --> 00:35:51,980
l remember
when my father used this shroud,
709
00:35:52,083 --> 00:35:55,985
and his father before him.
710
00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:59,989
The difference is,
when my father put this on,
711
00:36:00,024 --> 00:36:05,360
there was no doubt in his mind
about where he was going.
712
00:36:05,429 --> 00:36:07,363
Can't you just back out?
713
00:36:07,431 --> 00:36:09,399
Say you've changed your mind?
714
00:36:09,467 --> 00:36:16,236
l... have thought of just
walking out and disappearing.
715
00:36:16,307 --> 00:36:19,276
l have some friends
in the Cararian Mountains.
716
00:36:19,343 --> 00:36:23,109
They would be willing
to let me stay with them.
717
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:26,116
But my family
would worry about me.
718
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:29,119
They'd wonder
what was happening,
719
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:35,683
if l was all right,
if l were hurt...
720
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,287
No. Everyone's expecting
a Transference Ritual
721
00:36:39,363 --> 00:36:41,763
and l'm going to give them one.
722
00:36:41,832 --> 00:36:46,235
What if you did disappear
into the mountains,
723
00:36:46,304 --> 00:36:49,273
but your family
thought you were dead?
724
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:52,434
l mean, they're here for
a Transference Ritual, right?
725
00:36:52,510 --> 00:36:56,503
Do you realize
what you're suggesting?
726
00:36:56,581 --> 00:36:57,980
lt's perfect.
727
00:36:58,082 --> 00:37:01,313
Those cenotaphs send your people
back to my dimension,
728
00:37:01,419 --> 00:37:03,512
which is where l want to go.
729
00:37:03,554 --> 00:37:07,650
Voyager's probably still near
the asteroid searching for me.
730
00:37:07,725 --> 00:37:09,488
As soon as l appear,
731
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,586
they'll pick up my signal
and beam me aboard.
732
00:37:12,663 --> 00:37:14,096
And you...
733
00:37:14,165 --> 00:37:16,599
you can just disappear.
734
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:19,101
Your family will
think you're dead,
735
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:23,698
and you can live out your life
in the mountains.
736
00:37:23,774 --> 00:37:27,870
Harry, if you go
into that cenotaph
737
00:37:27,979 --> 00:37:29,913
and go through
with the Transference Ritual,
738
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:31,538
you'll die.
739
00:37:31,616 --> 00:37:35,074
Well, if Voyager can
beam me aboard quickly enough,
740
00:37:35,152 --> 00:37:37,882
our doctor should be able
to revive me.
741
00:37:39,557 --> 00:37:42,924
Medicine's pretty advanced
in our culture.
742
00:37:43,027 --> 00:37:45,222
l've heard of cases where people
have been dead for hours
743
00:37:45,296 --> 00:37:46,820
and still been
brought back to life.
744
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:49,927
But it's not certain.
745
00:37:50,001 --> 00:37:54,062
No, it's not...
746
00:37:54,138 --> 00:37:58,097
but l think this
is my only chance to get home.
747
00:38:06,350 --> 00:38:09,183
The shroud has to be wrapped
in a particular way.
748
00:38:09,253 --> 00:38:10,948
l'll show you how.
749
00:38:11,022 --> 00:38:12,956
But we have to hurry.
750
00:38:13,024 --> 00:38:16,619
l'm scheduled for Transference
in less than an hour.
751
00:38:22,166 --> 00:38:24,634
A pleasant trip, Hatil.
752
00:38:24,702 --> 00:38:27,637
Say hello to Varel and Toyan.
753
00:38:27,705 --> 00:38:30,674
l'll see you there
in a few years.
754
00:38:32,743 --> 00:38:34,870
We are joined here today
755
00:38:34,945 --> 00:38:38,711
to bid farewell
to our dear friend Hatil Garan.
756
00:38:38,783 --> 00:38:41,308
We salute not only his life,
757
00:38:41,385 --> 00:38:44,650
but the manner in which
he has chosen to end it.
758
00:38:44,722 --> 00:38:47,657
He makes
a noble sacrifice today,
759
00:38:47,725 --> 00:38:51,183
that his family
may have a better tomorrow.
760
00:38:51,262 --> 00:38:54,197
We prepare to send him on
to the Next Emanation
761
00:38:54,265 --> 00:38:56,597
with the full knowledge
and faith
762
00:38:56,667 --> 00:39:01,001
that the life he will find there
is better than the one here,
763
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:04,769
that he will no longer
be hampered by his infirmities,
764
00:39:04,842 --> 00:39:08,243
and that he will come
to understand the cosmos
765
00:39:08,312 --> 00:39:11,247
in a way that he could
never have imagined.
766
00:39:14,118 --> 00:39:17,417
Good-bye, Hatil.
767
00:39:17,488 --> 00:39:19,786
l love you.
768
00:39:43,047 --> 00:39:45,140
Another vacuole.
Deck 15.
769
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:48,652
The body of an alien female
has been left behind.
770
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,846
Chakotay
to Transporter Room 3.
771
00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:52,786
Lock on to the body on Deck 15,
772
00:39:52,857 --> 00:39:54,825
and transport it
to one of the asteroids.
773
00:39:54,892 --> 00:39:56,086
Aye, sir.
774
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,923
Status on the warp core,
Lieutenant.
775
00:39:57,995 --> 00:40:00,463
The dampening field's
down to 21 percent.
776
00:40:00,531 --> 00:40:02,499
The interlocks won't
hold much longer.
777
00:40:04,135 --> 00:40:06,433
l recommend leaving, Captain.
778
00:40:15,813 --> 00:40:17,405
Very well.
779
00:40:17,481 --> 00:40:19,813
Mr. Paris, bring us about.
780
00:40:19,884 --> 00:40:21,818
Prepare to resume our...
781
00:40:22,853 --> 00:40:24,980
Captain,
l'm picking up a vacuole
782
00:40:25,055 --> 00:40:26,317
forming on Deck 12.
783
00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:28,483
lt deposited a human body...
784
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:29,992
Human?
785
00:40:30,060 --> 00:40:31,857
But it's dead.
786
00:40:33,531 --> 00:40:34,498
Janeway to Seska.
787
00:40:34,565 --> 00:40:35,497
There's a body on Deck 12.
788
00:40:35,566 --> 00:40:36,999
Beam it directly to Sick Bay.
789
00:40:37,067 --> 00:40:38,364
Yes, Captain.
790
00:40:43,808 --> 00:40:46,299
2cc's cordrazine.
791
00:41:07,097 --> 00:41:10,191
Relax, Mr. Kim.
Everything's fine.
792
00:41:10,267 --> 00:41:12,258
You're alive.
793
00:41:44,935 --> 00:41:46,562
Mind if l join you?
794
00:41:46,637 --> 00:41:48,571
No, not at all.
Please.
795
00:41:48,639 --> 00:41:49,936
Thank you.
796
00:41:52,476 --> 00:41:54,967
So, how are you feeling?
797
00:41:55,045 --> 00:41:58,344
Better. l'll be ready
for duty tomorrow morning.
798
00:41:58,415 --> 00:42:00,906
You're off duty
for the next two days.
799
00:42:01,018 --> 00:42:02,451
Captain, l'm fine.
800
00:42:02,486 --> 00:42:05,546
lt's not a reflection
on your capabilities, Ensign.
801
00:42:05,623 --> 00:42:10,560
l just want to give you a chance
to reflect on what's happened.
802
00:42:10,628 --> 00:42:13,256
This may not make
much sense to you now--
803
00:42:13,330 --> 00:42:16,265
a young man
at the beginning of his career--
804
00:42:16,333 --> 00:42:18,392
but one of the things you learn
as you move up the ranks
805
00:42:18,469 --> 00:42:22,371
and get a little older
is that...
806
00:42:22,439 --> 00:42:26,432
you wish you had more time
in your youth to really...
807
00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:29,206
absorb all the things
that happen to you.
808
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,908
lt goes by so fast.
809
00:42:33,450 --> 00:42:36,248
lt's so easy to become jaded,
810
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,753
to treat the extraordinary
811
00:42:37,821 --> 00:42:40,119
like just another day
at the office.
812
00:42:40,190 --> 00:42:42,920
But sometimes...
813
00:42:42,993 --> 00:42:46,986
there are experiences
which transcend all that.
814
00:42:47,064 --> 00:42:48,929
You've just had one, Mr. Kim,
815
00:42:48,999 --> 00:42:53,231
and l want you to live
with it for a little while.
816
00:42:53,304 --> 00:42:55,238
Write about it
if you feel like it.
817
00:42:55,306 --> 00:42:57,331
Paint...
818
00:42:57,408 --> 00:42:59,569
express yourself
in some fashion.
819
00:42:59,643 --> 00:43:02,544
The Bridge will still be there
in two days.
820
00:43:02,646 --> 00:43:05,547
Thank you, Captain.
821
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:10,919
l have been a little preoccupied
with the experience.
822
00:43:11,021 --> 00:43:12,852
l mean, all those people think
823
00:43:12,923 --> 00:43:15,357
that they know
what happens after death.
824
00:43:15,426 --> 00:43:16,757
They look forward to it.
825
00:43:16,827 --> 00:43:18,761
They're prepared for it.
826
00:43:18,829 --> 00:43:22,765
But the truth is,
none of it's real.
827
00:43:22,833 --> 00:43:25,358
They don't have an afterlife.
828
00:43:25,436 --> 00:43:28,371
They just decay
inside those asteroids.
829
00:43:28,439 --> 00:43:31,306
l wouldn't be so sure of that
if l were you.
830
00:43:31,375 --> 00:43:34,139
That neural energy
their bodies release--
831
00:43:34,211 --> 00:43:35,644
it becomes part
832
00:43:35,713 --> 00:43:39,547
of the ambient electromagnetic
field surrounding the planet.
833
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:41,608
Our readings also indicate
834
00:43:41,685 --> 00:43:43,983
the energy is unusually dynamic.
835
00:43:44,088 --> 00:43:46,386
There's a great deal
of variation
836
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:49,255
in pattern complexity,
quantum density...
837
00:43:49,326 --> 00:43:53,558
Are you saying you think
they do have an afterlife?
838
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:56,566
That the energy field
is where they exist
839
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:58,898
at a higher level
of consciousness,
840
00:43:58,969 --> 00:44:00,527
just like they believe?
841
00:44:02,539 --> 00:44:05,030
l'm not certain.
842
00:44:05,109 --> 00:44:08,044
But l am certain about this:
843
00:44:08,112 --> 00:44:12,014
What we don't know about death
844
00:44:12,082 --> 00:44:16,314
is far, far greater
than what we do know.
845
00:44:18,022 --> 00:44:20,923
See you in two days, Ensign.
846
00:44:21,025 --> 00:44:23,186
Thank you, Captain.
