Hey, what do you know, I continued it! Thanks for the encouragement.

Janeway: You should have deleted it...

...o.O None. Of my muses. Like me. Except Kenshin.

Janeway: Because you make their llives miserable.

Because I love them. Let's go.

"Ring any bells?"

"No."

"Nothing at all?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"N--yes."

Paris shook his sandy-haired head. "I almost had you that time," he said, giving a half-hearted little smile. Lowering the padd he held in his hands, he rubbed his chin. "Alright, ah...I know. Come with me, m'lady." He'd learned very specifically, from the incident yesterday with Crewman Nadaru not to call her "Captain." She was vicious...

With a little bow, Tom gestured down the corridor. As he walked beside her, he was a bit moved by the blank, almost emotionless expression on her face. This was so...wrong. It just wasn't the Captain.

He slowed at the dors to the holodeck. "Computer. Run Captain Janeway's Da Vinci program."

"Program active," droned the bland, female voice after a series of little chirps. Janeway looked over at him as if to ask, "What now?", and he nodded his head at the doors that slid open. Slowly, she stepped into the old fashioned workshop of a famed artist and inventor, taking a look around.

"Katarina!" boomed a voice. The man himself came down the stairs, his arms wide. Well, tecnically, a hologram of him. But either way it would have affected her the same. The blue grey eyes blinked at the old man, and widened as she was seized and kissed on both cheeks. She pried herself from his hold, steping back. "Who's that?" she asked Tom, wide-eyed and staring at him.

The helmsman almost grinned - almost. "Ah...Computer, delete character." Turning to her, he gave a shrug. "Master Da Vinci."

"Leonardo Da Vinci."

He blinked, doing something of a double-take. "Yes. You remembered that?"

"Yes...from something I read," she sighed. "I read up on a bit of earth history."

Tom scratched his head, a little disappointed. "I see." After a moment of chewing silently on his cheek, he led her around the workshop, watching her examine everything closely. Any minute now, something would click in her mind, she would recognize something. He hoped.

But nothing appeared to catch her attention, and she returned to his side with cocked eyebrow. "What was the point of this?" she asked him, another sigh threatening to escape.

"I just thought it might be a nice vacation spot." Tom folded his arms.

"You have a lousy sense of humor."

"You've told me that many times before," he said, smiling wryly at her. "Alright, come on. Neelix has a fun-filled tour for you. My shift is starting in about ten minutes."

"Neelix...The furry...cook?"

He failed to supress a little laugh. "That's him. Well, there's one thing that can be said. You're a very quick learner."

Jameway gave one of the half-smiles he knew so well, and he led her back into the corridor. It was a little sad to see her this way - but that was why they were all showing her things. To try and get the old Kathryn Janeway back. He couldn't deny it - he missed her quite a bit. Though Chakotay was a little more worse for the wear.

"Captain!" greeted Neelix in his usual, bouncey manner as they entered the Mess Hall. "I'm glad you're here.

She looked up at Tom with a flat, half-angry expression that clearly said "You are not leaving me with the rat," but he patted her on the shoulder. "Have fun, you two. And try a different name, Neelix," he chuckled, exitting to make his way to the Bridge. As he walked along the corridors, Chakotay caught up with him. "Has she made any progress yet?" he asked calmly.

"No, noth really. Neelix did succeed in making her angry again, as well as alienating her." He was smirking a bit.

The first officer shook his head. "I just hope I don't have to lock her in the brig for another assault. For Neelix's sake as well." The two stepped into the turbolift, sighing at the same time. "Bridge."

Down girl.

Janeway: -.-

Sorry. You're a vicious animal now...Well, okay, so you always were. But now you're a past-less, vicious animal.
