Gets way better, this is just an introduction.

Full Summary:
When Voyager encounters a new species known only as the history seekers, the members of Voyager find themselves experiencing a rather horrific illness in the human history, the plague. Little do they know at the time that they are just dreaming and when they wake up, what the history seekers can actually do from learning this piece of history. Set in a small village during the 17th century, based on Geraldine Brooks' novel Year of Wonders, which I am studying for school.

There is something about watching the stars zoom passed from my ready room window that calms my nerves and makes all of my worries just seem to go away, for I know that each star we pass by, is another star behind us in our long journey home. As I stand here with my cup of coffee, staring out the window, I am so lost in my thoughts and transfixed by the beautiful little beams of light as we race passed them, that I didn't even notice the ring of the door chime when someone was requesting entry until the second time.

'Come in.' I spun around on my heels quickly and briskly made my way to my desk, hoping to get there in time to pick up a PADD and pretend I had been diligently working through it, but I was not in luck. The doors opened to reveal my first officer before I had a chance to sit at my desk.

'We have encountered an alien vessel captain, they are hailing us.'

'Well then, shall we?' I asked as I walked over to where he stood and offered him to go out first, he did so and I followed, nodding to Harry to answer their hail.

'Greatings alien vessel and welcome to our space!' A rather cheery tall alien with small blue spots all over his face, shouted over the comm. channel. 'I am Varesk of the planet, Argkra and who might you be?'

'I'm Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation starship Voyager, our home planet is many thousands of light years away.'

'Ah travelers. Are you interested in trade? I'm sure there is much we can acquire from you in return for some of our supplies?'

'We would be very interested in trade, however, we do not trade our technology, I hope you understand.'

'Of course captain! I was wondering if you would have any foods for which we could trade. I know you are on a long journey and need your food supplies, we can offer you some of our foods in exchange, just that, we like to try different things from different worlds here on Argkra.'

'I am sure we will be able to find some of our food stocks to trade in exchange for some of yours.' I smiled a professional smile, to show my faith but inside I knew there was something odd about this Varesk alien, I had a gut feeling something terrible would happen, I just didn't know what.

'Well then. I guess we should… meet… your…ship…trade…and…blah…to….blah bleh blah blu!' Suddenly he was making no sense to me, my eyes felt heavy and I felt tired, dizzy, I couldn't keep my eyes open. Struggling to keep awake, I saw a bright flash and suddenly an alien figure was in front of me. Varesk, I knew it! I looked around me, to see all of my bridge officers struggling like I was, to keep awake.

'You… won't…. get away with…this!' I managed to say before I could no longer fight off the fatigue and fell into a deep sleep.
