"Tuvok, fire phasers!" Captain Janeway called out to her tactical officer, who immediately obliged.

The starship Voyager rocked with the force of a quantum torpedo.

"Captain, EPS Conduits rupturing on decks two, three, five, nine, ten, eleven, fourteen, and twenty-seven. Warp core breach in progress."

"Thank you, Mr. Kim. Tuvok! Send everything this ship's got at that!"

"Aye, Captain. Weapons firing. Direct hit. The ship was destroyed. Brace for shockwave."

"Tom, ride it out."

"Aye Cap-" It was at that moment that Voyager was bucked around by the shockwave of the odd ship. Lieutenant Tom Paris didn't have the time to ride it out.

When the shockwave subsided, most of the Bridge crew was lying on the floor.

"Is everyone alright?" Captain Kathryn Janeway called out in a hurt voice. Chakotay suspected she had broken something.

There were some moans from the crew, only Tuvok and Seven reported "Undamaged".

"Janeway to Sickbay!"

"Sickbay here, Captain. What the hell was going on up there?"

"Fire fight, Doctor. I need you to get up to the bridge ASAP. We have wounded."

"As does the rest of the ship, Captain. There are a few deaths. Many wounded. There are too many people to treat within a week. Some of the crew may not survive."

"Doctor, is there any way we can-"

Yet again Voyager was rocked, this time the cause was unknown. The doctor was cut off, and only Janeway was able to stand afterwards. She looked out of the front view screen, and saw a swirling mass of blue, purple, red, and other colors she had never seen before and couldn't describe if she was ordered to. She tried to wake every member of the bridge crew, but they were out cold. She felt hot, and took off her Starfleet vest, her shoes, and socks. She walked to the Turbolift and ordered it to go to sickbay. It seemed the gravity was off a small amount as well. When she got to sickbay, the door was sealed shut. She couldn't get into the room. Her arm was hurt, but most likely only jammed. It would be fine in a few days. Now she had to do something. She walked back into the Turbolift and asked the computer whether or not there were any systems still running. The computer beeped, and said that gravity, life support, weapons, replicators, Turbolifts, and showers were still on-line. She asked which of these systems were running, and the computer responded by pointing out that the shower in B'Lanna Torres' room was running. Janeway had noticed her absence on the bridge, and ordered the Turbolift to go to the deck that held B'Lanna's quarters. As the doors to the Turbolift opened, she took a left and began to walk down the hall. She had seen people lying down in the corridors, some of which she had to move to continue on. When she reached B'Lanna's quarters, she went inside. She saw B'Lanna lying on the floor, face down, and heard the shower running.

Janeway walked into the bathroom and ordered the computer to turn off the shower. It seemed that B'Lanna had been taking old-fashioned showers, something that she would have to attend to, since they had a limited supply of water. She walked back into the room, and tried to wake B'Lanna. Again, it was useless. She asked the computer which systems needed to be repaired, and the computer gave a very long list of systems. Janeway only half heard them, as she was very tired and decided to get some sleep. She left the room after putting B'Lanna on her bed. She went again to the Turbolift and it zoomed to her room. Once there, she didn't even bother taking a shower. She simply slipped off her pants, crawled into her bed, and fell asleep just as soon as she hit the sheets.

The next day, Janeway awoke to burning temperatures. When she sat up, she asked the computer the time. She was amazed to find that it was 2:30 in the afternoon. She then noticed that she was hovering inches above the bed. She asked the computer if gravity was working, and the computer took several seconds to say that the gravimetric plating had been damaged in the attack, and needed to be repaired. Janeway groaned, and threw off the covers. She pushed herself out of bed, and didn't even bother to get any more clothing. In fact, she took off her remaining ones. It felt hotter then Italy on a summer's day.

"Computer."

Beeps of acknowledgement.

"What temperature is it in this ship?"

one-hundred twenty degrees Fahrenheit.

"Oy vey." Janeway muttered. It took her a few days to get the hang of propelling herself around the ship with no gravity. She tried to wake the crew every day, but with no success. She noticed that there were occasional thin slime trails around the ship. Yet these were always on the ground, so if there was a creature lurking around Voyager, it was able to get and keep it's self on the ground. Janeway had repaired some of the minor systems, but she didn't bother repairing Environmental Controls, since she rather liked simply floating around the ship naked. She noticed that the expressions on some of the crew's faces had changed, and she believed that they where simply in some sort of coma. She had raided a weapons storage compartment, and had put on a belt with a phaser-holder attached, unless she came across this creature. There were two crewmen she had found that had blood trailing out of their mouths and crevices in their heads. Fortunately, not very much blood had been lost by anybody. She once had cut her arm, and she had to use one of the sleeves of a woman floating near the ceiling, since the Turbolifts were broken now.

After about a week, Janeway had restored gravity. It took her several hours to get used to walking again. As she stumbled like a drunk around the ship for a bit, she stepped on many people. She didn't know how, but she came across several people that also had no clothes on. They were in the middle of the hallways. In time, she found the entire crew this way. She had removed the top and bottom hatches of the Turbolifts so she could get to different levels. The gravimetric plating went out of whack again, and she had to float around the ship.

Kathryn spent nearly six months like this. She eventually had every system back online, but she still couldn't wake the crew. She had found a small green slug in the mess hall, feeding out of a woman's ear. She blasted it with her phaser, and noticed the slime trails stopped after that. She put the slug in a glass container so she could analyze it once she had gotten out of here. She went to sickbay, and she had gotten the doors open. It took a few hours, but she eventually got the EMH online, but she took away his emotions, so he wouldn't care if she was naked. She had the doctor analyze it, and it came up inconclusive. She thanked him, and left. She got the bridge and began to steer out of the anomaly. But every direction she went, there was no way out. She even tried to go at maximum warp for three hours, but nothing. She was just about to give up when….

"Captain….help me……"
