They're celebrating the installation of a "quantum slipstream" engine which they seem to believe will be the magic bullet that will get them back to earth in 5 minutes. Shockingly it's Tom Paris who is being the rational one and says "this thing is untested and I have serious concerns about how safe it is to use"

He and Harry run numerous simulations using the slipstream drive and they say "23 simulations and 23 catastrophes" so this slipstream engine has a 100% failure rate, and yet they were throwing fucking confetti around engineering to celebrate

When given this information, Janeway still orders them to go ahead with the planned flight using the new engine. Chakotay tells her it's a pretty big risk and she's basically like "yeah well I'm bored. We've been in the delta quadrant for long enough and I'm willing to take this chance.

In doing so she is responsible for the deaths of literally everyone on board the ship.
