Janeway walked to Chakotay's quarters and waved back the security team. She pressed the door chime and waited. After a minute, the door opened and Chakotay stood before her clad in nothing but a bed sheet wrapped around his waist. It took a moment for her to speak as her eyes appraised his bare muscled chest and smooth golden skin.

"Captain," he said. "I wasn't expecting company."

Janeway cleared her throat and looked up at him. "Really, Commander? So you have no one in your quarters at this time?"

He grinned and said, "Checking up on me? You said I couldn't leave my quarters. You said nothing about letting someone else in."

"And that someone is your victim and co-conspirator?"

"I resent that!" Seska appeared behind Chakotay in another bed sheet draped across her obviously naked body. "I have been charged with nothing!"

Janeway coolly appraised her and said, "Wait."

Seska's eyes narrowed. "What do you have to charge me with?" she challenged.

"Filing a false complaint for one. Falsifying medical reports for number two. Oh, and I'm not referring to the injuries you claim Commander Chakotay inflicted upon you last night."

Seska paled a bit as Chakotay said, "You knew all along I didn't do it. Why are you playing this game? What are you after?"

Janeway kept her eyes on Seska and said, "You haven't seen the biggest game player of all yet, Commander. Isn't that right, Lieutenant?"

Seska glared at her and squared herself with the Captain. Chakotay stepped to place himself between the two women. With a warning look at Seska, he turned back to Janeway and said, "What does that mean? I know all about Seska's plans on taking over the ship. I have the detailed information you need and the people you need to detain and interrogate."

Janeway's eyes swept down his near naked body again. "Interesting undercover tactic, Commander. But not nearly as clever as your co-conspirator here. You sort of redefined undercover, did you not?"

Chakotay glanced at Seska behind him before saying, "What is that supposed to mean? Is there a purpose to this visit, Captain? If you're going to arrest Seska, take her. I'm done with her. For good. It's late, past midnight, and I plan to enjoy my time off now that this whole mutiny business is over and dealt with. You just let me know, Captain, when you've realized I helped you here just like I always said I would."

"But you've already been to bed, Commander," Janeway said. "And you aren't up to speed on the best part of all this yet. You can't possibly be that tired."

Seska grabbed Chakotay's shoulder and said, "I can assure you, Captain, I tired him out quite well."

Janeway flashed a brief smile. "Congratulations, Lieutenant. You may join the Commander then in being confined to quarters. Unfortunately, they will be your own."

Seska jumped forward but Chakotay caught and restrained her from touching the Captain. "Why? Because I was in his bed tonight instead of you? I've done nothing wrong! Your allegations are baseless! Obviously, I have dropped the complaint charges and forgiven him for what he did to me. But my injuries were real! There was nothing false about them! You may be the captain, for now, but you can't relieve this ship's crew at will because of their personal choices. I've read your precious Starfleet rule book. There is nothing against close friendships and romances between the crew. You just want him for yourself. That's it, isn't it, Captain? You're jealous and Starfleet is nowhere around so you're going to hijack your precious regulations and decide who can sleep with this man and who can't." She looked at Chakotay and said, "Is that why you took the job? To warm her frigid bed a little and keep in practice for me? I can't tell you how touched I am by the gesture but she could never teach you a thing." Her gaze returned to Janeway. "Only I can do that well as I demonstrated no more than an hour ago."

Janeway took a deep breath to calm down. Before she could respond, Chakotay pushed Seska back. "I have never touched the Captain, Seska. You're the only woman in this room that I've used." Janeway looked at him as he turned back and said, "I can explain."

Janeway shook her head. "Explain nothing, Commander." She turned to open the door and signal the security team to come in but, before she could, she heard a cry from behind. Seska hurled herself around Chakotay and onto her back taking the captain to the floor.

The two women rolled as Chakotay tried to grab for Seska and pull her off. He managed to grasp her arms and pin her to the ground. The Captain stood up and hit her badge. "Janeway to Security…"

"No!" Seska yelled into Chakotay's face. "Computer, initiate Maquis program Alpha 1. Authorization Seska."

Voyager's lights dimmed and the red alert klaxon sounded. Chakotay and Janeway looked at each other until Chakotay pulled Seska up and shook her by the shoulders. "What did you just do?"

She chuckled and gave him a big smile. "It's done, Chakotay. Let our mutiny begin!"
