A silly little drabble series in which I write a drabble for each episode, since I currently just started rewatching Voyager. Some may take note of the main theme in the epsiode, some go from small things that happen outside the main event (I have written so far up to The Cloud, and that one is about Chakotay helping Janeway find her spirit animal.)
Any character could be used for the POV, main or guest, and so far each has been different. There may be several drabbles in a row following the same character. I am writing what seems to go best for the episode and the way I view it. Each of them is a true drabble of 100 words not including the the episode name and characters POV, except for those which could be taken as a double episode like this first one is, in which case the wordcount will be 200 instead.
Hope someone out there enjoys :) I'm fnding it hard but fun to try and put so much content in so little words.
A Drabble Voyage
Caretaker (Janeway)
She knew she had done the right thing. So why did it feel so wrong?
As Captain, hard decisions would always be there for her to face, but this... She had left her people stranded 75 years from their loved ones.
She had just found out the happy news that her dog, her beautiful girl, was pregnant. That her lover was waiting for her at home for the only meant to be two weeks to expire until she got home and they could be reunited.
She wasn't supposed to be doing a deep space exploration run. That wasn't really the true purpose of Voyager, although she was, as all Starfleet ships were, capable of such a purpose.
There were a lot of changes her crew were going to have to sit through as they figured out what they were doing, but Janeway knew one thing. They were a capable and hard working team. Already work was underway to try and get the ship into functioning order for a long, long trip. Rationing was already underway and everyone was performing as best as they could in such strange circumstances.
They would make it, no matter what the galaxy threw at them.
