Seven of Nine, formerly a member of the Borg Collective, strode onto the turbo lift feeling highly annoyed.

"Computer, what is the location of Captain Janeway?" she asked coolly.

"Captain Janeway is in Holodeck 2," came the automated response.

"Deck 6," she said and the lift began to move.

Seven was annoyed because she had once again gotten into a disagreement with the Chief Engineer, B'elanna Torres. They were constantly "butting heads" as the captain called it. Today Seven had been increasing the power to the Astrometrics Lab to search for an M-class planet when B'elanna had come storming in demanding an explanation for a few minor systems being offline. When Seven had tried explaining it was only temporary, the half-Klingon had become belligerent.

They may have come to blows if Harry Kim had not walked in at that moment.

"Keep your implants off my power couplings," B'elanna had snarled before storming off.

Seven was on her way to seek the captain's advice. Kathryn was her friend and could usually offer her advice on how to deal with people. When she reached the Holodeck, however, the doors were sealed shut. She frowned.

"Seven of Nine to Captain Janeway," she said, tapping her combadge.

"Captain Janeway is Unavailable," came an automated reply.

Seven frowned again. She had never known the captain to be unavailable. The captain always made time for her. She was probably running her DaVinci simulation. Using a Borg algorithm, she easily broke the command code on the door and entered the Holodeck.

Nothing could have prepared her for the sight of her captain in what appeared to be an old castle, standing with a sort of whip in her hand in front of a naked blonde woman who was chained to the wall.
