Alright, here it is! Finally, the much-awaited chapter 5! Again, sorry I didn't post at all for a long time. I've been moving, so it's pretty hectic. Thanks for waiting!

Disclaimer: I don't own paramount, I don't own Voyager, I don't own the coffee pot. I just like to see where my imagination takes me.

Chapter 5

Sophie started walking around her new quarters, curious to see what her new home looked like. When she first walked in, she saw a large window across the room, and to her right, a small kitchen. As she turned in that direction, she saw a bizarre machine that must have been that 'replicator' that Chakotay was telling her about. Sophie turned around and saw a couch. She also saw a desk with a comfy chair (she tested it out) and a piece of technology that resembled a laptop. As she continued exploring the room, she saw a large bed that looked very uniform, military. Next to the bed, along the wall, was a door that looked like the main entryway. She pressed the blue button on the keypad, and it opened with a swish. She walked in and to her right she saw a shower with no controls(she assumed it was voice-activated), and a mirror directly across from the door. She walked out into the main area and lay on the bed, exhausted.

Right before she dosed off, she heard a clarinet. She got up and followed the sound next door. She pushed the blue button, and a few seconds later, a young man who looked to be about in his early twenties answered the door, clarinet in hand.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

Yep early twenties. "Um, yeah. I heard you playing, and I just wanted you to know, you sound great." Sophie rubbed her palms together subtly.

"Oh, thanks. Do you want to come in?" he asked, gesturing with his hand and stepping aside to give her entrance.

"Sure." She walked inside.

He looked at her clothes, jeans and her favorite t-shirt paired with a pair of worn-out black converse, a little strangely and asked about it. "Why are you dressed like that?"

"This was what people wore, back in the day." They chuckled, and she followed him over to the replicator. He asked her,

"You know how to work one of these yet?" She shook her head. "Alright, well, I just want a glass of water, so I might as well show you. Computer, one glass of ice water." She heard a bizarre noise that's hard to describe, and in a split second, the water appeared. He picked it up and took a sip. Sophie asked him,

"I was wondering, what's your name?"

"My name is Harry Kim, but you can call me Harry, or Ensign, Ensign Kim, whatever you want to call me. You want some water?" she nodded, and he replicated another glass and handed it to her.

"Thanks." she took a sip, and opened her mouth to ask a question when she was interrupted by Chakotay on the comm line.

"Chakotay to Sophie."

"Go ahead."

"I just wanted to let you know that Neelix and Naomi are on their way. They want to give you a tour of the ship."

"Alright, thanks."

"Chakotay out." Sophie turned to Harry and asked,

"Who are Neelix and Naomi?"

He chuckled. "You'll find out soon enough."

"Well, I guess I'd better get going." Sophie turned to leave.

"Okay, it was great meeting you. Oh, by the way, they aren't… well, human," he said awkwardly. "Well, Neelix is a Talaxian, and Naomi's half-Ktarian, half-human. Just- Just warning you. Oh, are you done with that?" He asked, pointing to her water.

"Um, yeah, Thanks,"

"Sure." He took her water, placed it in the replicator, and said, "Computer, recycle." Sophie hardly heard the noise of the replicator over the swish of the doors.

Sophie was lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling when she heard a beep-boop, which she assumed was the doorbell. She sat up, echoing Harry's words in her head, reminding herself that they were-most likely-aliens.

"Come in." and in walked a man and a little girl who she assumed was Naomi.

The man had spots all over his face and hands. He had orange whiskers outlining his jaw, and long, orange, wispy hair coming from the top of his head. The little girl looked human, except for the four ridges on her forehead. The man said in a chipper voice,

"Hi, Sophie! I'm Neelix and this is Naomi, my goddaughter. We wanted to give you a tour of the ship."

Naomi spoke up in a high voice, "Hi! I'm Naomi Wildman, Captain's assistant." She stuck out her hand eagerly, with a serious face. She was taking this very seriously. Sophie took her hand a shook it.

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Wildman." She said, suppressing a chuckle, but letting a small smirk escape. "So, where do we start?"

Naomi interrupted Neelix by saying, "We're going to start by showing you our primary systems, and then the holodeck."

"Alright, sounds great. Let's go!" Naomi grabbed her by the hand and led her through the whole tour, giving a detailed description of every room they entered. When they got to sickbay, the Doctor came up to Sophie and said,

"Please state the nature of the medical emergency."

"Doctor, there's no emergency. Neelix and I were just showing Sophie around the ship."

"Well, then. Hello, Sophie, I'm the EMH, Voyager's chief medical officer."

"What does EMH mean?" asked Sophie.

"It means 'Emergency Medical Hologram'. So, no, I'm not human. I'm a reflection of light held in by force fields, but I have performed many amazing feats in Starfleet history."

"Thank you, Doctor." Said Neelix, and he led the girls out of sickbay. He didn't want to feed the Doctor's ego anymore.

"And our last stop, the holodeck!" said Naomi, rushing into the large room. Seeing Sophie's confused look, she started explaining what it was.

"Do you want to play?" She asked Sophie after she finished.

"Yeah! Know any good programs?"

Thanks for reading! More to come!
