Janeway slowly blinked her eyes and stretched as she prepared to get out of bed. She groggily stared around at her surroundings, only to realize that she wasn't in her room. Instead of her familiar pictures on the nightstand, she spotted Chakotay's medicine bundle on the wall. As she looked around the room, she noticed nothing belonged to her, and came to a realization that she was in Chakotay's rooms. The last thing she remembered from the night before was putting on her cream nightgown before getting into her bed. Her own bed. She had no explanation for why she woke up in Chakotay's bed.
Pushing back the covers, she decided to go in search of the man whose quarters she was currently occupying. As she rose, she noticed three things. First, she couldn't feel any of her hair on her neck. Second, her chest was suddenly lighter. And thirdly, the most disturbing of her realizations, was that there was something protruding awkwardly from between the apex of her thighs. Kathryn looked down horrified as she saw something on her body that wasn't supposed to be there.
Not giving any thoughts as to why she was completely naked, she rushed towards the bathroom and looked in the mirror, but the image that was staring back at her did not posses her auburn hair, blue eyes, and pale skin with freckles. No, the face she was looking back at was just as familiar, with dark tan skin, deep black eyes and a tattoo on the right side of her forehead. The image she saw before her was that of Commander Chakotay.
Trying not to panic, Kathryn returned to Chakotay's bedroom in search of clothes, but she was suddenly at a loss. Spying the dresser in the corner, she headed there. Opening the top drawer, she saw a selection of boxers. Well, that settled one question, she reasoned as she hurriedly put on the garment. Opening the next few drawers, however, all she saw were Chakotay's off duty clothes. His uniform had to be somewhere, she reasoned, and she certainly couldn't go around the ship in only boxers, even if she did look like Chakotay at the moment.
Closing the dresser drawers, she moved around the room. His uniform wasn't on any of his chairs, nor was it in his closet. Janeway was about to despair and try replicating a uniform when she spotted a drawer in his nightstand. "Ah-ha!" she exclaimed as she finally found the uniform. In no time, she was fully dressed. On top of the nightstand, she noticed the Maquis rank bar and a comm badge. She was tempted to go to the replicator to replicate her usual four pips, but if the crew were to see what appeared to be Chakotay with the Captain's pips, they would become confused. Not to mention she didn't want to waste her rations on more pips. Instead, she pinned the rank bar to her collar and put on the comm badge.
Taping the comm badge, she said, "Janeway to Chakotay." No response. "Janeway to Chakotay," she tried again, but still the comm badge did nothing.
Realizing that it was Chakotay's voice and Chakotay's comm badge, she tried again, "Chakotay to Janeway."
