THE UNLIKELY SWITCH

Disclaimer: I think you guys know the drill --- Paramount owns everything Trek. However, I must say that this story and some of the characters for this story are from my own original ideas.
Note: This story was inspired by the episodes "Riddles", "Tuvix", and "Dark Frontier parts 1 & 2". Just an hour ago, a certain "WHAT IF" question popped in my head as i was watching the "Riddles" episode on TV... I just thought what would it like if this were to happen in Voyager... Hope you guys enjoy reading it, and i hope you can give constructive comments about it... DOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASU... ^_^

It was an uneventful day onboard Voyager and Captain Kathryn Janeway decided it was best that she spent the rest of her duty shift in her Ready Room, catching up with the ship reports submitted to her since last week.
She had just finished reading a PADD when the door chimed.
"Come in."
The door opened and revealed Naomi Wildman behind it, PADD in hand.
"Naomi, what a pleasant surprise?!? Please have a seat..." she gestured for the child to take the seat in front of her desk. " What can I do you for?"
Naomi beamed as she took the seat the Captain has offered her. "Thank you, Captain. I came to see you to show you my thoughts in increasing the productivity in the Hydroponics bay... I wish to become useful in the ship so I've decided to help out..." she said as she handed the Captain the PADD she was bringing.
"I see... And I figure that it is stated here in your report?"
"Yes Ma'am..."
Janeway scanned the PADD the child handed down to her. "You wish to rotate the planting and growing of the crops? And fertilize them with manure?"
"Yes Ma'am... I read in the ship's database that in order for the soil to be revitalized and productive, you must rotate the planting of crops... And you must fertilize them as well with cow manure..."
"Cow manure...? Naomi, we're in the Delta Quadrant... How on earth could you get hold of a sample of cow manure?" she scanned the PADD again and found her answer. "You have found the chemical composition of manure... So what do you wish to do?"
"Well, um... If it's possible I will try and replicate it... A less offensive one of course... Captain, I know the replicators eats a huge portion of the ship's power but I only wish to use it for the Delta Quadrant variety of corn I found a few days ago and it would be a small amount... I promise that after the harvest of this crop, I will be planting another crop which will absorb less of the soil's nutrients, making it breathe little..."
Janeway could only eye the child with utter curiousity and admiration. Naomi was indeed a smart child and she was indeed very serious when she said she wanted to be useful in the ship... "This is a very good proposal, Crewman, and I will take it into careful consideration... I will give you my reply..."
Her answer was interrupted by the sound of a voice coming from her comm. badge and the shudder that rocked the entire ship violently.
"Captain please report to the Bridge..."
"On my way..." Janeway replied as she stood up and started marching towards the door that led to the Bridge. "Naomi, let's go..."
However, they were put to a stop when the ship shuddered violently again with what seems to be weapons fire. This threw her and Naomi off their feet. Janeway struggled to stand and gain her composure. When she finally was on both feet she helped struggling Naomi do the same... "Thank you, Captain... I think it's about time we reported on the Bridge now..."
"My thoughts exactly, Crewman..."
She knew that the door would have opened when she stood near it... HOwever it didn't and she was having a hard time with the manual override either... The door was definitely stuck!
"Chakotay to the Captain! Please report to the Bridge!"
She tapped her comm. badge. "Commander, I think you should manage without me Commander! I'm encountering certain obstacles in going there as we speak..."
"Yes Ma'am..."
A few seconds later, her comm. badge chirped again... It was Chakotay again. "Captain, two cloaked ships have just decloaked right above us... They are scanning us..."
"Let them scan... I'm leaving the Bridge under your capable hands... I'll be there as soon as figure out a way to get me and Naomi out of here... Janeway out."
But before Chakotay could answer, a wide beam of bright light penetrated the ceiling of the REady room and was moving about slowly as though it was looking for something. Much to her suprise, a certain force field was erected around them in the room.
"Captain, who erected the force field?"
"That's what I want to know myself, Naomi..." she replied as she stood stock still as the bright light came towards them.
+++++
"Commander, a level ten force field has been erected around the Captain's REady room..." Kim declared from his post in the Bridge. "I am trying to disable it..."
"Do it, Ensign..."
"The ships have just finished scanning us however, the lead ship seemed to have erected the force field around the Captain's REady room a few seconds ago..."
"Can you contact the Captain?"
"No sir. The force field is blocking our communications to the Captain..."
"Can you beam them out of there?"
"No sir... Wait, Commander! I'm reading a transport in progress from the Captain's ready room..."
"Scans shows that the alien ship is initiating the transport! They are transporting the Captain and Naomi Wildman..." Tuvok added.
"Get them back! Mr. Tuvok ready the photon torpedos and fire on my mark..."
"Aye sir. I've got a lock on the lead ship's weapons array..."
"Commander, their transporter hold is much more stronger than ours..."
"Then compensate Ensign!" he barked as he punched a few commands in his console... "I'm rerouting the auxiliary powers to the Transporters..."
"I got them, Commander. They're back in the Ready room..."
"Fire torpedos!"
"The two aliens ships are retreating..."
"Stand down Red Alert... Mr. Tuvok, Mr. Paris, Mr. Kim, help me get the Captain and Naomi out of the Ready Room..."
"Yes sir."
