"I am Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Starship Voyager."
She had said that many times over the years. Too many. If she were in the Alpha Quadrant, she wouldn't have to say that all the time.
Ships could just look the ship up in databases. She had tried so hard to get them home.
But she knew that that might not be true. They may all die tomorrow or even in thirty seconds if an anomaly appeared. And even if they did survive they would all have to be 126 years old when they got home.
"Well Tovok would make it at least," thought Janeway.
Maybe she should just give up. Tell the Voyager crew to settle down on a nice planet. Make a colony. And maybe in the future, when Starfleet explores the Delta Quadrant, they could really go home.
But she couldn't do that. Not the Voyager crew. They missed their loved ones. She had to get them home.
No matter the cost.
