Chapter Two
"Now you know
*****
Chakotay looked around the table at Voyager's senior staff. Sitting at the head of the table was Captain Janeway. He sat to her right and Tuvok to her left. Also at the table were: Tom Paris, Harry Kim, B'Elanna Torres, Kes, The Doctor, Seven Of Nine, Neelix and...his gaze hardened as his eyes fell on the last officer at the table, Seska. She was sitting, back straight, eyes to Captain Janeway, completely ignoring him. Not that he really wanted to have any contact with her but it would be nice to find out what she was doing here. But he wasn't quite sure how to approach this particular task. He still hated her with a passion, he knew that, but the way she had acted in the transporter room when he had come back from that...whatever it was, and then the way she had handled his cold rejection in sickbay made him think that there might be more to this then was plainly clear. But none of these facts bothered him as much as the fact that she was even alive to cause him this confusion. She *was* dead, he knew it. So what could this be? An elaborate holosimulation? An allusion? He could think of any number of strange happenings that could cause what was occurring but none of them seemed quite right. However, he did not have anymore time to reflect on this disturbing turn of events for at that moment Captain Janeway cleared her throat and began to speak. "From what we know about the anomaly in the transporter room," she said, "we could be dealing with one of two things. One: a naturally occurring phenomenon that just happened to appear right in the middle of the ship. Or two: some kind of set-up; by whom we don't know." "I'd go for the second option." said B'Elanna, "From what we know of kind of happening, they don't just appear out of nowhere for no particular reason. But if this was a set-up then that still leaves the question of who put it there and why." Captain Janeway nodded in agreement and looked around the table, her gaze stopping on each face in turn. "Ideas?" she asked. "Well," began Seska nervously, "I was looking at the readings that B'Elanna was able to take before Commander Chakotay was pulled in and I found something interesting. It doesn't help us with the questions of who or why but it might help with the question of what." "Go ahead." said Janeway. "Well, the thing...it seemed to have a different energy then anything in this dimension should be able to possess. In a matter of speaking, it could have lead to a different reality."
A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short but I am having major writer's block. Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated and pretty please review!
