Lucius Cassius Dio Cocceianus (Ancient Greek: Δίων ὁ Κάσσιος, c. AD 150 – 235 , known in English as Cassius Dio, Dio Cassius, or Dio (Dione. lib) was a Roman consul and a noted historian writing in Greek. Dio published a history of Rome in 80 volumes, beginning with the legendary arrival of Aeneas in Italy through the subsequent founding of Rome (753 BC), the formation of the Republic (509 BC), and the creation of the Empire (31 BC), up to AD 229; a period of about 1,400 years. Of the 80 books, written over 22 years, many survive into the modern age intact or as fragments, providing modern scholars with a detailed perspective on Roman history.
Cassius Dio was the son of Cassius Apronianus, a Roman senator. He was born and raised at Nicaea in Bithynia. Byzantine tradition holds that Dio's mother was the daughter or sister of the Greek orator and philosopher Dio Chrysostom; this relationship has been disputed. His praenomen is usually held to have been Lucius, but a Macedonian inscription published in 1970 shows it as Cl., presumably Claudius. Although a Roman citizen, he wrote in Greek. Dio always maintained a love for his hometown of Nicaea, calling it 'his home', as opposed to his description of his villa in Italy ('my residence in Italy').

Neelix becomes interested in Earth history, spurring research about an ancestor of Captain Janeway named Shannon O'Donnell who was alive at the turn of the 21st century who she believed single-handidly fought to complete the Millenium Gate tower project at the turn of the 20th century, and would later be part of NASA's missions to Mars. Neelix, prompted by Janeway, proceeds to track down further information on Shannon.
Neelix discovers that Janeway's information was incorrect: Shannon was a traveler that happened to have her car break down in the small town where the Millennium gate was to be built. The intent has caused most of the business in town to leave, save for a bookstore owned by Henry Janeway, who refuses to sell the store to make way for the project. Shannon joins Henry in the opposition, and learns that if Henry refuses to sell, the project would have to be moved to a new location. The two also develop a bond during this time. As it turns out, Shannon had been hired by the company to try to convince Henry to leave before the 11:59 deadline on New Year's Eve. When Henry discovers this, he asks her to leave, but as she drives away, she turns around, and trying another approach to convincing Henry to sell. He eventually relents at the very last minute, selling his bookstore to allow the tower to go forward.
This is a test
This is only a test
Boy, do you know
What I'm feeling
I'm overwhelmed by your lovin'
I can't deny
That I want you all the time
But I gotta know
What you're thinkin'
Hit it and run, real affection
Whatever it is
I won't let you waste my time
So how will I know
- Baby with just a kiss
Boy when you touch my lips
Honey, I'll know for sure
Boy, when my eyes meet yours
And if your love is true
I'll give to you my very best
Just pass the test
Boy, when I love
It's completely
You'll do the same
If you want me
Can't be a fool
And just throw my heart away
But how will I know
How will I know
What you're feelin' is real
When you say you love me
And how will I know
If it's real
What you feel when you say you care

I've got a kiss on my lips
And it's wearing your name
So hold on, oh, here it comes
I really wanna know
It's really gonna show
The way you feel inside
Cuantas veces ya, yo mismo he dicho...
que lo dejo todo y que me iria
debe haber algún maldito sitio
con un cielo y una casa mia
grandes heroes, gran poder, que importa
luego no hay coraje no hay valor no sere
sabes que llegar no cuesta tanto
lo dificil es permanecer...
Que haces tu?, para detenerte en pie sin decaer
Que haces tu? para discutir y no desfallecer
Yo que muero en el intento sabes que
Soy nervioso, estoy ansioso, pero bien
Cuantas veces ya, yo mismo he dicho
ahora guardo todo... y sigo aqui
Luego me levanto de la cama
hasta el viernes... yo, me quedo aqui
parece la decisión suprema
una calle larga, estrecha, caminare...
Para olvidarla no tan extrema
Me la encuentro de frente, siempre, y tu?
Que haces tu?, para detenerte en pie sin decaer
Que haces tu? para discutir y no desfallecer
Yo que muero en el intento sabes que
Soy nervioso, estoy ansioso, pero bien
Que haces tu?, para detenerte en pie sin decaer
Que haces tu? para discutir y no desfallecer
Yo que muero en el intento sabes que
Soy nervioso, estoy ansioso, pero bien
Que haces tuuuuu?...
Yo que muero en el intento sabes que
Soy nervioso, estoy ansioso, pero bien
Que haces tuuuu?...
yeah, yeh
