I have to admit that this is not one of my best stories. I am sorry if it is really bad.

Chapter 1

Janeway sat in her Ready Room when someone knocked.

'Come in' she ordered and Seven entered. Surprised, the Captain looked up. It was four o'clock in the morning.

'Still awake?' she asked and went over to the couch, then decided otherwise and walked over to the replicator.

"Coffee, black. You wanna drink something, Seven?'

She shook her head.

'Sit down' Janeway offered.

Seven refused to. The Captain took her coffee and sat down on the couch. 'I need to talk to you' Seven explained.

'Well, I see no other reason why you turn up in my Ready Room at four in the morning. Sit down, Seven.'

Still hesitating she sat down next to the Captain.

'You look worried' Janeway commented.

'I am.'

'Why?' She still hesitated.

'Captain, I lied to you' she simply said.

Janeway put her coffee on the table. 'Concerning what?' she asked.

'Concerning everything. I do not know where to begin.'

'At the beginning, I suppose.'

Seven sighed. The Captain looked worried at her. There must be something very bad worrying her. 'Seven, you can tell me.'

Seven hesitated, but then started: 'My parent's mission was not to discover and to study the Borg but to build up a force in the Delta Quadrant. The Borg was just a defilade. Unfortunately, they did it too good and we got assimilated.'

'Wait, what do you mean with 'build up a force in Delta Quadrant'?'

'Starfleet wanted to expand. There is the Secret Unit of Federation, an Intelligence service. Another one than Tuvok is working for.'

'And you work for them?' Janeway asked irritated.

Seven nodded. 'During my time in the collective I could not contact Starfleet but when you brought me onto Voyager, I started communication with them. To finish the work of my parents.'

'How? I mean, we cannot get in contact with Starfleet commando, it is too far away?' the Captain asked. Her coffee was forgotten.

'There is new technology which is not official yet. And it wasn't so many years ago when we started. But the Intelligence service found a long distance communication device which I use regularly. It cannot be detected by the ship's sensors.'

'Okay, let's assume this. You told them everything that happened here on this ship?'

Seven nodded.

'Well, why are you telling me now?' Janeway did not know what to believe. But within the years she has gotten to know Seven very well and did not doubt this story.

'I just received a message from the highest director of the Secret Unit of Federation.'

'And…what did he tell you?' She hated asking her out about every single point of information. Couldn't she just tell?

'That…there is a problem on Earth. Well, Bajorans entered the United Federations of Planets.'

'Okay, that took it's time. But I don't-'

'Let me finish talking…please' Seven sighed. 'The Cardassian government did not like this in any kind of way and because of the continuation of ceasefire with the Romulans, they built up an alliance.'

'An alliance between Romulans and Cardassians? They had had a recent war.' Janeway was shocked and doubted the truth of the information.

"They have already had ceasefire and the Federation is their common enemy. The SUF does not know the exact conditions under which they are working together but they threatened with war against the Federation.'

Janeway shook her head. She could not believe all this. Seven as spy? Bajora in the Federation and Cardassians and Romulans allied and threatening the Federation with war. She emptied her coffee. 'Seven, I know-'

'I know that you doubt the validity of this information but before you consider a judgement, I want you to know that the president of SUF wants to talk to you.'

Janeway stared at Seven. 'Now' they ex-Borg said and nodded over to Janeway's computer.

'How?' she just asked. It was impossible to build up such a long distance conversation.

'I already installed the necessary program on the Voyager. You just need to confirm the conversation' Seven explained.

Janeway sat down in front of her desk. The Starfleet logo appeared and vanished and the logo of the SUF appeared and vanished. Then the face of an elderly man, around fifty years old, he seemed to be human but Janeway was not sure. However, he explained her why Seven hasn't been allowed to tell. The Borg stood in front of her the whole time and listened patiently.

'I am sorry we have to drag you in there' the President who had introduced himself as Dr. Galici, said.

'Seven mentioned something about a problem concerning the Federation. Is the alliance between Romulans and Cardassians that bad?'

The man nodded. 'They already try to get the Klingons on their side. Until now they refused as we have a peace contract but we do not know how long to hold it up. A war is preparing here in the Alpha Quadrant. And as you may know, we are a federation of peace, not equipped the heavy armament.'

Janeway nodded but she still did not seem how she fitted into the plan. 'You still haven't told me why it concerns Voyager' she mentioned.

The man sighed. Janeway looked up at Seven who formed the word 'El-Aurian' with her mouth. The Captain understood.

'Romulan-Cardassian alliance has threatened to destroy the planet of the headquarter of the Federation.'

'That would be Earth' Janeway simply said.

'That's right.'

'And how are they going to do this?' Janeway asked in disbelief.

'We have noticed that about eight hours ago, a Cardassian cruiser used the Romulan sun to perform to time jump. We have no idea in which time they jumped or what exactly they plan. But we do not have the time to find out. We have to prepare for the battle. All ships are coming back to Starfleet commando to settle up for the worst case scenario.'

'I still do not see Voyager fitting into this plan. We are too far away and we cannot perform a time jump, especially not because we don't know where to jump and when.' Dr. Galici smiled.

'I heard you would have a quite good relationship with Q.'

Janeway looked at Seven. She did not react in any kind of way.

'Actually not' Janeway answered.

'Actually yes' a known voice behind her answered.

The Captain turned around: 'Q!'

'Yeah, I am.'

'Can someone please explain me what the hell is happening here?'

'Well, yes' Q started. 'First of all, the Romassians want to destroy Earth.'

Janeway rolled her eyes hearing this lousy pun.

'And second, I will bring you into the right time of events. But I cannot help you from there on.'

'Why?' Janeway sighed. She never wanted to understand Q-logic.

'Because I have to return into the continuum. A war in the Alpha Quadrants where nearly all races will participate in, will also affect the Q continuum. Actually, we shouldn't care but after dear Jean-Luc begged and robbed on the knees I had to accept to do a minor part in rescuing the Universe.'

The Captain nodded hearing Q's arrogant undertone. 'However, just tell me what I have to do in case I didn't understand a single word from what you were saying.'

'Another time jump' Dr. Galici explained.

'Oh, no' Janeway sighed. She hated time travelling. She got headaches from it.

'I will bring you back to Earth but in the right time. As a Q I know where this Cardassian ship went. You will just have to prevent whatever they are doing down there.'

'Which is?'

'I cannot tell you.'

'You ever considered telling your people the truth about everything?' Janeway asked the El-Aurian. She betted that in every time line Captains already hated that guys from Intelligence services.

'Your order is: Go back in time and find out what the Romulan-Cardassian alliance is planning. And prevent it' he said shortly.

'And how are we supposed to get back into our time and best to Earth.'

'This won't be a problem if you succeed' Q explained.

'Why don't you do all this?' Janeway asked.

'First, we Q are not omniscient. Second, it wouldn't be all that fun' Q smiled and vanished the next moment.

'Good luck, Captain' Dr. Galici said and the conversation was cut off. Seven and Janeway stood alone in the room.

'Okay, let's talk' Janeway said and wondered how bad the day could get.

I know, it's a bit off and my style isn't good...but please review.
