Chapter 2
Janeway heard the weak voice and turned to see Chakotay lying on the floor, with a small puddle of blood draining from his mouth. She jumped out of the chair and ran over to him. Supporting Chakotay in her arms, Janeway listened to what he had to say:
"I…don't know what happened. There were dreams…marvelous dreams….why is it so hot?"
"Environmental controls are offline, Chakotay. It's about 120 degrees on the ship. It's been nearly six months since any of the crew, besides me, has been awake. Eventually, everybody turned up naked. I have all systems back online, but environmental controls have been eluding me. It's difficult to chase around the ship's problems all by myself."
"It's been…….six months? That's quite…a long……" his voice trailed off and she could tell that he had fallen back into his sleep. She needed one person at least to help her with the repairs. She looked around the bridge, and spotted the perfect candidate. She put down Chakotay, stood up, and walked over to Seven. She shook her, and got a small response. Yet, she wasn't quite awake. She shook harder, and Seven awoke with full alertness.
"Are you alright, Seven?"
"Captain? Is that you?"
"Yes, Seven. It's me."
"How long has it been since I've been awake?"
"About six months. Are you feeling alright?"
"Not quite. I think I may have to recharge. Why am do I have no clothing?"
"None of the crew does. After we were battling in that firefight, something hit us after the shockwave. It knocked out everyone except for me. The next morning, I found the gravity off and the environmental controls out of whack. I walked around the ship trying to repair everything. Eventually, everybody had been de-clothed. I don't' know how. I've had to go into the Holodeck quite a few times to keep myself sane. Are you ready to go to Cargo Bay 2?"
"Yes, Captain. I think I am." Seven rubbed her hands down her body once, stood up, and lost her balance. Fortunately, the gravity was still off, and she didn't fall to the ground. Janeway placed one hand on her hip, the other on her shoulder, and helped her get to the Turbolift. She was surprised to feel Seven give her a sideways hug to keep balanced. Seven had never really shown any affection to anyone.
In the Turbolift, Janeway ordered them to zoom to Cargo Bay 2. Seven had to sit down. Because of the anti-gravity, her sitting level was at Janeway's eye-line. She just sat there, looking tired and exhausted. Since she had nothing else to do, Janeway put her hand on her leg. She found Seven to be nearly asleep. She smiled and let her sleep.
The Turbolift doors opened, and Janeway simply lightly grabbed Seven by the knee and pulled her towards Cargo Bay 2. When they entered, she pulled her towards the Borg regenerators. She did her best to stand her upright, and activated the regenerative cycle. As she stared at Seven, she smiled and walked out. She walked into the Turbolift and ordered it to go to her quarters.
The Turbolift doors hissed open, and she walked down the hall towards her room. She went into the bathroom and stood in the shower.
"Computer."
Beeps of acknowledgement.
"Sonic Shower." The computer beeped several tones again, and a blue vapor-like mist began to seep it's way down Janeway's body. After the mist had subsided, she felt cleaner.
"Computer."
Beeps of acknowledgement.
"What time is it?"
Ten Forty-Seven P.M.
"Oh brother." Janeway walked out of the shower to her bed. She had restored the gravity to some of the ship, and she had been waned enough so she could go from anti-gravity to full gravity in a split second. She flopped herself down on her bed, and fell asleep.
At noon the next day, Janeway woke up and headed towards Cargo Bay 2. She found Seven still regenerating.
"Computer."
Beeps of acknowledgement.
"End Regeneration Cycle."
Seven opened her eyes. "Captain. What shall we do first?"
"Well, first we need to get gravity everywhere on this ship. Then, we need to navigate our way out of this anomaly. Understand?"
"Yes, Captain. Should we not restore Environmental control?"
"No, Seven. The crew won't wake up for a while, even if we get out of this. Obviously, we don't mind the state we are in, so nobody should care."
"Aye, Captain."
And with that they got to work. Since Seven had downloaded Voyager's schematics into her, she knew where everything was and how to get there. More importantly, she knew how to fix them. They got to work, and the elusive gravimetric plating kept somehow just barely escaping their grasp.
They were in Engineering, when they heard the door hiss open. B'Lanna Torres walked into the room. Kes followed her.
"Well, Captain. I see this is a girl's party?"
"It seems so. We are the only ones who have woken. Do you have any idea how to get Gravimetric Plating back on-line?"
"Why, I fortunately do, Captain."
"As do I." The slight voice of Kes was barely audible.
"Good. Then we have two people who absolutely know what they are doing. Come over here."
Kes and B'Lanna followed Janeway's instructions and went to help.
It was then that Tom Paris, Chakotay, Neelix, and Tuvok entered. There was an odd, yet silent clash as the two genders looked at each other.
"Maybe we should start somewhere else." Neelix sounded a bit concerned. Chakotay rejected the idea, saying they would do what they had come to accomplish. It took awhile, but the Voyager crew eventually became fine with the idea. But then again, B'Lanna and Tom didn't mind from the beginning. So, the guys got to work on Environmental Controls, the gals on the gravity.
Finally, after three hours working tirelessly, they got the two systems back online. It was still about one hundred degrees on the ship, though. The guys went back and let the women finish that process. So, Seven, Janeway, B'Lanna, and Kes got to work on the Environmental Controls.
As they were toiling, a panel overloaded and sent Seven flying backwards. Janeway ran over and tried shaking her awake. She looked as if she had third degree burns on her face and hands.
"Help me pick her up! We've got to get her to Sickbay!"
So, with Kes' and B'Lanna's help, they got Seven to Sickbay. The doctor was already on-line, working for some odd reason.
"Ahh, Captain. What seems to be the problem?"
"Seven has third degree burns, Doctor!"
"I see. Lay her down on this bed. Now! Hurry!"
They did as instructed, and put her down on the operation bed. They saw that Doctor had taken it upon himself to take patients from the hallway and try to heal them. They saw that the lab was in a clutter, and Kes was the only one helping the doctor, since she was his assistant.
"B'Lanna, do you have any idea what is still wrong with the Environmental settings?"
"Possibly, Captain. The only reason that I can think it was elusive in the first place was someone, or something, was sabotaging the ship."
"I did find an odd slug in the ship, there may be more."
"What kind of slug?"
"I don't know, the results came up inconclusive to scans, and it was a tiny green thing, maybe only about seven or eight inches long."
"I know what that is. You can't kill them. They are parasitic creatures that find their way onto starships and feed off of the systems. Eventually, if nothing has been done about the creature, it can take total control of the system that it is feeding upon. The only way that will get it away from the ship is to take away its power source. After that, it will move to a new one."
"How do we find it?"
"Simple. We find the power generator for the system."
"Would you by any chance know where that is?"
"Seven!"
"Yes?"
"Can you find the power generator for the Gravimetric Plating for us?"
"Of course, Captain."
"Good. Can you lead us to it, please?"
"Yes, Captain." Seven simply jumped off of the second story landing and landed with a soft thud. She took a moment to recover herself, than walked out of the door. Janeway and B'Lanna followed. They were a good ten feet behind her.
"Captain, why do you think that we all woke up?"
"Well, I didn't fall asleep in the first place. For about six months, I was the only one awake. Than, people began to wane themselves. They woke for a while, then feel back asleep."
They were silent from then on, and continued to follow Seven. They got to the correct spot, and found that the door was sealed from the inside. Janeway blasted it apart with her compression rifle, and what they found shocked them.
They were staring into a room full of Malon.
