->''"One of the core appeals of Role Playing Games is the growth of the character’s abilities as they dive deeper into mastery of the game’s mechanics. Yet it is not the mastery that the audience seeks, it's the journey to mastery that we like to watch. Skipping to mastery is like taking a cab to the finish line of a marathon, it kind of defeats the point. But since when has scraping out a win at the very edge between victory and defeat ever made for a compelling story? One could easily design a game that is basically an ‘I win button’ or just turn to the last page of a book, but would that be fun? It would for me! Who cares if it misses the point? What loser earns their power? Shortcuts to power never end badly!"''

->'''Past!Janeway:''' Now that I know what to expect, I could avoid getting trapped in the Delta Quadrant in the first place.
->'''Chakotay:''' Halt turbolift. Seven's plan is dangerous enough. Trying to alter it is too risky.
->'''Past!Janeway:''' It's worth the risk.
->'''Chakotay:''' If Seven's idea works, Tuvok and the other crewman will be fine.
->'''Past!Janeway:''' They'll still be stuck in the Delta Quadrant. If [[TimeCrash the temporal anomaly]] doesn't kill them, something else will. The Borg, [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E14Bliss telepathic pitcher plants]], [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E11Macrocosm macroviruses]]. [[EverythingTryingToKillYou The Delta Quadrant is a death-trap]].
->'''Chakotay:''' What about the Temporal Prime Directive?
->'''Past!Janeway:''' To hell with it.
->'''Chakotay:''' {{With all due respect}}, it's a little presumptuous to think you have the right to change everyone's future.
->'''Past!Janeway:''' [[FutureMeScaresMe From what I've seen, they'll thank me]].
->'''Chakotay:''' All you've seen are bits and pieces. You're not getting the whole picture.
->'''Past!Janeway:''' Really? Just what am I missing?
->'''Chakotay:''' It's not what, it's who. [[CharacterDevelopment People like Seven of Nine, a Borg drone who'll become a member of this crew after you help her recover her humanity. Or Tom Paris, a former convict, who'll be our pilot, chief medic, and husband to B'Elanna Torres.]]
->'''Past!Janeway:''' That angry woman I just met?
->'''Chakotay:''' She's going to be your Chief Engineer. [[FireForgedFriends Two crews, Maquis and Starfleet, are going to become one]]. And they'll make as big a mark on the Delta Quadrant as it'll make on them by protecting people like the Ocampans, curing diseases, encouraging peace. Children like Naomi and Icheb are going to grow up on this ship and call it home. And we'll all be following a Captain who sets a course for Earth, and never stops believing that we'll get there.
