Tom Paris felt sore all over as he opened his eyes he saw that he was in sickbay. He began to rise and he saw the Doctor in his office working at his terminal.

"Doc" He called.

The EMH looked up and saw that Tom was awake. He got up and walked over to him.

"Ah, you're awake. Good. What's your name?" The EMH asked.

"Tom Paris" Tom responded.

"What's your rank and position?" The EMH asked again.

Confused Tom answered. "Ensign and I'm Flight Control Officer of the Federation Starship Voyager."

The EMH frowned and looked at his medical scanners again. The Doctor tapped his combadge and said. "Doctor to the bridge."

"Go ahead Doctor" was the reply that came over the com and Tom recognised the voice but couldn't place it.

"Commander you had better get to sickbay and bring commander Janeway with you." He said.

"On our way" was the reply.

Tom still couldn't place the voice then he heard what the Doctor said. Commander Janeway, not Captain Janeway he thought.

Several minutes later the doors to sickbay opened and in walked Janeway but in a blue science uniform and he noted that she only had three pips on her collar and one was black. She was a Lt. Commander. The second person to enter was someone that Tom practically did not want to see again. Commander Maxwell Bruke in a red command uniform and he had three gold pips. He was a full commander.

They both walked over to Tom smiling. "Captain, how you feeling?" Bruke asked. Tom froze and his hand flew to his neck. He had four pips.

He was the captain.
