"Captain on the Bridge." It could be my imagination, but I think Tuvok's voice sounds just slightly different than usual. Could that be a hint of uncertainty I hear?

All over the Bridge, unsuspecting faces turn to acknowledge me, only to end up staring in surprise. I hold Chakotay's gaze as he stands there gawking, and then mutters a strangled "Captain?"

I fight to hold back a smirk as my hand comes up to finger my newly-short hair. I smile at him innocently as he stares in shock.

"Well, I got us that dilithium we were trying to trade for."
