Harry tapped a button, "Captain, I have Shar'ee."

There was no response, but Kathryn appeared on the bridge. She spoke barely loud enough to be heard, "On Screen Mr. Kim."

"Are you... yes ma'am."

The Sha'll leader came on the screen, "Captain, this has all been..."

Kathryn put a hand up, "We did not in any way behave in an aggressive manner towards you, and yet you captured my people, one of whom is dying if not dead at this point. If I were in the Alpha Quadrant - but I'm not... I will send down to your planet three men... You will give them the Dilithium, they will give you the human cure for Chicken Pox. Then we will leave, unhindered, is that understood?"

Shar'ee paused and then nodded, "Of course Captain. We await your officers."

Kathryn turned and gave the cut signal. Harry did so. "Okay, Chakotay, Tom, Tuvok, get our crystals. Harry, you have the bridge."

With that Kathryn entered the Turbolift and those on the bridge looked between themselves.

Chakotay patted Tom on the shoulder and the CONN officer stood, "Let's get the Dilithium."


The Doctor put a hand on Sam's face and closed her eyes. He stepped back and pulled a sheet over her head. He turned and approached Kerry's bedside. For some reason she still seemed to still be in a coma, according to the readings.


Kerry jumped as Sandy slid in next to her. Sandy looked across the table at her brother. "What'd you do to her?"

Carlos held up his hands, "Nothing, nothing at all sis."

Sandy put her arm around Kerry's shoulders and for a moment Kerry forgot not to flinch. Sandy felt it and any looked at Kerry even closer. "What's wrong Ker?"

Kerry shook her head and started to speak, but didn't get a chance to as a woman spoke from in front of their table, "Well I'll be, Kerry Weaver. I'm Sorry, Doctor Kerry Weaver."

Kerry did a double take as the woman in front of her smiled. "Se..."

The woman's smile didn't waver, "You probably don't remember me, so many different patients right. Annika Hansen, this is my little girl Naomi..."

Kerry frowned, staring at both Annika and Naomi as Sandy spoke, "The hospital I'm guessing?"

When Kerry didn't speak, both Carlos and Sandy looked at Kerry with concern on their faces. Kerry didn't speak, but pushed at Sandy's leg. Sandy stood, "Kerry, where're you going... Kerry..."

Sandy started to go after the red head, but her little brother restrained her with a hand on her shoulder. "Give her a little time."

"Carlos?"

"Trust me sis..." Sandy shook her head, but didn't follow Kerry.


Kathryn came in the 'backdoor' of the Sickbay. It wasn't the usual door that she, or anyone else used. The Doctor did most of his work on the other side and so the crew knew that they'd get a faster response if they used that door. She was trying to avoid the Doctor. She stopped and the door closed behind her. She finally got back her voice, "Seven..." Seven turned and took a step to one side. "Is that... the newest addition to our crew?" Seven nodded, "Boy or girl?"

Seven didn't speak, but watched Kathryn come over to the incubator. She paused for a second before she lay a hand on top of the incubator. "I assume that she has no name yet?"

The Doctor appeared almost out of nowhere. "No she does not. She is about 800 grams. It's not for sure..."

Kathryn stared at the Doctor. "She could die?"

The Doctor nodded, "Just as her mother could."

As if called from above, alarms started going off in the other section, the Doctor moved through his office, followed closely by Seven. Kathryn simply turned and watched through the Doctor's office as Seven and the Doctor worked feverishly to save Kerry.


Kerry sat back down in the same church pew and closed her eyes. She didn't have to wait long until the woman she had seen before spoke, "You came back."

Kerry looked up, "This is not my life, I want to go back to my life."

"I can only help you, you have to remember yourself."

Kerry sat back and crossed her arms over her chest. "But I don't even understand what I'm remembering." The woman was silent and Kerry closed her eyes. "Is it bigger than a bread basket?" There was no response, so Kerry decided to be logical. She started with the first thing that she remembered from her Chicago reality, being tickled by her adoptive father, and slowly went through every memory that would come to the forefront of her mind. It was around the beginning of her stint as the Chief Resident of that everything started to get muddled.

The woman jumped as Kerry's eyes flew open and she grasped at her chest, "Oh My God above... I remember."


"Wait." Seven yelled in a voice so unlike her that Kathryn could hear the bones in her own neck crackle as she snapped her head up.

With five steps she was in the other section. "What happened."

Seven pointed at the readout above Kerry's head, "She's alive." Kathryn let out a breath

The Doctor nodded, "She's also asleep..."

Kathryn nodded, "Good, that's good." She put a hand on the biobed and nodded again. "If you need me, I'll be in engineering."
