A cytoplasmic being uses B'Elanna to stay alive, but a Cardassian holographic doctor is needed to save them both...

"Still, the recognition of your peers, your government, must be very satisfying." (50k)
I'm sure you've made your share of breakthroughs. "Naturally. Unfortunately, no one from Starfleet ever hears about them. I toil in obscurity." (95k)
"This is the 24th century, Krell. Your kind of barbarism ended a long time ago, or at least it should have." (68k)
"I'm not concerned with today. It's tomorrow I'm worried about." (51k)

"Don't touch me. I'm a hologram, photonic energy. Don't waste your time." (54k)

Captain Janeway wants a transwarp conduit from the Borg, and Seven seemingly uses the opportunity to rejoin the collective...
"Eureka! I was hoping to find one of these. It's a servo-armature from a medical repair drone. Laser scalpel, biomolecular scanner, microsuture, all rolled into one instrument." No Federation sick bay should be without one. "This could revolutionize the way that I perform surgery." (206k)
"This is an important stage of your social development, Seven. Try not to think of it as simply a research project, but as an exploration of how you were raised." (93k)

The Captain researches the ancestor who inspired her to join Starfleet, but finds family stories aren't always what they seem...
