The Basic Disaster!
After returning to the ship, the crew is overcome with emotion, and work.
Tuvok stood next to the bed where Souter lay. The doctor told him that he would have been proud of him.
"I offer you a Vulcan prayer. May your death bring you the piece that you never found in life."
On the other side of sickbay Chakotay stood over his partner and his lover of many years. Although she deceived him by making him think that she was on his side, Chakotay could not help but feel loss. He noticed that he was still angry with her for betraying him. But deep inside he knew he was more angry that she had died in battle. He fixed her hair and gently said a silent prayer for her. He looked at her one last time before placing the cover over her dead body.
Kathryn had just exited the ready room and she was making her way toward the bridge. Tuvok and Chakotay entered the bridge. Tuvok took his station. Chakotay took his place in the chair next to Kathryn.
Kathryn took her chair and uttered the word engage to Tom. Chakotay gave her a small look. Even thou her hair was messed up from their excursion on the planet. He was comforted by the fact that she knew her mission. She was back as the captain of her ship.
He chuckled a bit remembering their time on New Earth. And how she had said that she hated camping. Frankly Chakotay hoped he never had to camp like that again.
It was just then that a scream was heard through all of the decks. Neelix had entered his kitchen, or what was left of it. TBC
