Quotes 

• Chakotay : Is your body armor designed to handle rapid pressure fluctuations?

  Alpha Hirogen : It can defeat most hostile environments. I once tracked a silicon-based life-form through the neutronium mantle of a collapsed star.

  Tom Paris : I once tracked a mouse through Jefferies tube 32.

• Chakotay : [of the Hirogen]  From what I found in their database, diplomacy isn't a part of their lifestyle. They don't see us as equals. To them, we're simply game.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : It's time we convinced them otherwise, or like any cornered animal, we'll show our teeth.

• Cmdr. Chakotay : [after visiting the Hirogen ship]  I analyzed some of their logs. From what I can tell, this is a hunting species. We saw the skeletal remains from dozens of alien races displayed like trophies. There was also evidence they may be using some of their victims for food. The entire culture seems to be based on the hunt - social rituals, art, religious beliefs. They're nomadic. Their existence is driven by the pursuit of prey, and it's carried them across huge distances.

• Capt. Kathryn Janeway : Six of your vessels will be here in under four hours. I hope you'll let them know that we saved your life and that we want to avoid any further conflict with your people.

  Alpha Hirogen : Let me resume the hunt and I will grant your request.

  Cmdr. Chakotay : [to Janeway]  We have enough problems on this ship as it is without HIM running around.

  Alpha Hirogen : I spent six months studying this prey's behavior. i know how to track him. Let me continue or I will have the others destroy you.
