No? Okay, I'll also say it's from Voyager.

Sounds like something out of "Bride of Chaotica!"

It does, doesn't it? But it's not. Look for a historical equivalent.

The only historical equivalents I can think of for "grown adults dress up in silly elaborate costumes and run around pretending to shoot lasers at each other and take each other captive and rescue each other" are Halloween and ComiCon. Or possibly some adventurous marriages, to which I say "more power to you!"

Oh wait, that's "historical equivalent to playing Bride of Chaotica! on the holodeck." I got nothin' for the quote. "Author, Author," I guess?

Nope. I meant more like historical equivalents to Chaotica himself.

No more guesses? It's from the closest thing history has to an over-the-top supervillain: the Nazis. One of the Nazi holograms in "The Killing Game" explains his vision to the Hirogen Beta, inspiring him to rebel against his commander's admittedly ridiculous plans.

Next!

"That should not have happened."

To narrow it down, the character saying this has just been interrupted by something which, indeed, should not have happened -- but the line also works as a conclusion to what he was saying before.

ED: On further consideration, that won't be much help without narrowing the field a bit. I'll do that by telling you the quote is from the same episode as an earlier quote in this thread.

A week and not even one guess? Bleah. Okay, that was from "Contagion". The scene goes like this...

WESLEY: It's the Yamato, Captain. I can't stop thinking about her. All those people dead. I don't know how you and Commander Riker and Geordi, how you handle it so easily.
PICARD: Easily? Oh no, not easily. We handle it because we're trained to, as you will be. (to replicator) Tea, Earl Grey, hot. (back to Wesley) But if the time ever comes when the death of a single individual fails to move us --
(a potted plant appears in the replicator)
WESLEY: Didn't you order tea, sir?
PICARD: Now that should not have happened.

Fun fact I didn't realize till I looked up the scene on YT: this is actually the first time Picard gives his famous tea order. I'm sure he was seen drinking tea earlier, but the exact line first appears in this episode... only for the replicator to screw it up. Janeway can relate.

Next:

"They're not keeping him alive by artificial means, are they? [He] wouldn't want that."
"No, he's clinging to life all on his own."
"Typical."
