Janeway's Fear
"Oh come on Kathryn. I asked you three months ago my question to marry me. Why are you being so scared of love and marriage with me?"
"I told you, Chakotay I can't right now with the Voyager moving into it's seventh year of being in the Delta sector." She spit out her words from inside the ready room.
"I just don't understand you, Katherine to be acting this way in the first place. Does this has anything in regard to trusting me Katherine?"
"This has nothing to do with trusting you. I learned to trust you years ago. Now will you please leave the ready room and go back to your work."
"Find. I will leave to go back to the bridge. By the way we should be entering the Baskline solar system in a few hours. Has the ambassador made contact with you as yet Captain?"
"Nothing so far Chakotay. When he does. I will be sure to let you know." She says in some what of a sass tone with her first officer.
Chakotay goes to move off out of the ready room leaving the captain alone with her thoughts. Even though she was waiting to speak with Ambassador T'Laren of the Baskline system.
There planets have been waging a possible war with another solar system. And the Captain has been asked to help out with the possible truce talks. For which the real reason she doesn't wish to involved any others from the U.S.S. Voyager.
And why she needs to stay away from any close relationships with giving away her mission. She is giving up everything that is important to her. This includes her deep feelings for Chatokay even though having asked the marriage question three months prior.
Moments Later...
Janeway was being called from the bridge that a message was coming in from the Ambassador. She got up from the couch for which she had started to read.
"What is going on Tuvok?" She says with trying to calm her nerves for the moment.
"Captain. Ambassador T' Laren is calling you. He said it's extremely important that he speaks with you."
"Very well Tuvok, I will speak with him here in my ready room." She says with moving over to the computer terminal to switch it on.
It took just a moment for the face of the Ambassador to show up on the screen.
"Ambassador T' Laren is everything all set for me to travel to your planet to begin the talks. No one here knows why I am leaving the ship accept that involves with you."
"I will be arriving in your area within the next two hours. Please advise your people that I will be arriving." He said on the screen while others his race was talking to him from behind the terminal.
"Understood T' Laren. Does your council understand the reason I will be joining in on the truce talks?" She asked in a serious tone with the question.
"They know Captain. See you soon." As the communications ends with Janeway getting up to inform the bridge of her official leaving the ship.
She steps through the door to wind up onto the bridge. Tuvok was at his station with Chakotay sitting in the command seat.
"All right everyone I would like to let everyone know that I will be leaving in two hours once the Ambassador arrives in his vessel. I should be gone a week while I visit the Baskline solar system as part of a good will gesture. Now please excuse me while I get myself ready for the trip."
And with that she left everyone on the bridge wondering what her true motive will be with the Ambassador. Even Chakotay didn't believe the story.
It was at this time that he needed to devise a plan on how to follow the captain without being caught.
