A Love Light in the Dark of the Delta Quadrant
As Captain Kathryn Janeway stepped onto the bridge, for the first time that day, for another encounter with the Borg, she felt in her element. The bridge was relatively quiet as she sat in her captain's chair, giving her bridge crew orders to keep them from becoming drones. Out of the corner of her eye she risked a glance at her secret boyfriend, her first officer, Commander Chakotay. A wry smile, a look of love and back to work for the Captain and Chakotay, however, because the Borg waits for no one and nothing, not even love.
"Put the cloaking device up, Tuvok. Evasive manoeuvres. Let's stay as far away from the Borg as possible. We don't want any unforeseen disasters happening." said the Captain. "Red alert, all hands to their battle stations. Seven, is there a way for you to tap into the hive mind, without alerting them to your presence, to see what they're up to?"
"Absolutely, in fact I can even tell you where the Borg aren't going to be, so we can find a safe route out of the sector." said Seven of Nine rerouting her energy through her cerebral implant.
"Great, once you have safe coordinates for passage through the sector, relay them to Tom. Tom lay in a course to get us out of this sticky situation." said Captain Janeway standing up and turning in the direction of her ready room. "Chakotay, you have the bridge." And with that Kathryn entered her ready room and sat down to update the ship's log and her personal log; but she found her mind frequently wandering to scenes with just her and Chakotay in them. Janeway sighed, leaned back in her chair and allowed herself to daydream.
