Title: The Nebula
Chapter 1
"Captain's log star date 554769.1. It's been two months since Voyager entered a Class 9 nebula, which has rendered the warp engines offline. Engineering has been working around the clock trying to create a stable warp field. While traveling at impulse speed, our calculations indicate it will be at least 47 days until we reach the other end of the gaseous anomaly. Besides affecting our ships systems, the nebula has had certain affects on the crew as well, myself included. The Doctor has been unsuccessful in finding a treatment to counteract the effects but has determined that once we leave this area of space, all will return to normal. Computer... end log."
Two months before.
Bridge.
A gigantic pink cloud covers a vast amount of space directly ahead of Voyager's path.
Lt. Tom Paris: "What is it?"
Capt. Janeway: "Good question Lieutenant. Seven, what do you make of it? .
Seven of Nine: "It appears to be a class 9 nebula. I'm detecting tachyon emissions, but at tolerable levels. It doesn't appear to pose a threat, Voyager should have no problem maneuvering through."
Janeway: "Well, looks like we don't have a choice. I'm not about to go around it, it'll take us half the time if stay on course."
Commander Chakotay: "We should send a probe ahead and track it's telemetry from Astrometrics."
Janeway: "Good idea...Tuvok, launch a class 3 probe into the nebula and report to me every hour with an update."
Lt. Commander Tuvok: "Understood Captain. Launch enabled."
Janeway: "Seven...Harry... I want you two in Astrometrics. See what you can find out about the tachyon emissions. Tom, stay on course, proceed at warp 1."
Tom: "Yes Ma'am"
Astrometrics Lab.
Ensign Harry Kim: "Well Seven, what do you think?"
Seven: "I'm not sure. Sensors are picking up energy fluxuations in the heart of the Nebula. It appears to be transmitting a carrier wave. We should contact the Doctor and see what effects it will have on the crew."
Sickbay.
Harry, Seven and the Doctor investigate the carrier wave.
Doctor: "The information from the probe doesn't indicate anything life threatening to the crew. However, I'm not sure about long-term effects. I'll inform the Captain that we should proceed but we should submit the crew to weekly physicals for any changing effects."
One month later.
In Astrometrics, Seven continues to monitor the nebula as Voyager continues its journey. Finding something of interest, Seven re-modulates her sensors and receives a mild shock from a console. The wind is knocked out of her but regains her composure within minutes. Seven resumes her diagnostics, then sends a comm. signal to Harry who is at his ops station on the bridge.
Seven: (Voice Only) "Seven of Nine to Ensign Kim, your assistance is required. Report to Jeffries Tube 13, deck 9."
Harry looks towards his Captain and Commander who give him the okay to vacate his post. As Harry reaches the destination, he notices Seven already inside the narrow Jeffries Tube. Harry approaches her on hands and knees and asks what he can assist with. Seven who is busy examining gel packs, stops what she's doing and turns her attention to Harry. With a look of hunger, she lunges at him. She knocks Harry down on his back, forces her body over his and kisses him with all her strength while holding his arms in place.
Harry: (surprised and trying to free himself) "What are you doing?"
Seven continues her physical assault, then suddenly stops. The look on her face is of shear terror.
Seven: (Her eyes widen) "Why am I in this position with you Ensign?"
Harry: "You don't remember what just happened? You attacked me!
Seven: "Did I injure you?
Harry: "No, I'm all right. The question is, how are you?"
Seven: (confused) "I'm not sure. When I was in Astrometrics, I attempted to re-modulate our sensors and something shocked me. I blacked out for a moment and ended up here with you. Perhaps I should go to sickbay."
Just then the ship begins to shake and comes to a sudden stop. The Commander makes a ship-wide announcement of red alert and orders all hands to their stations.
Seven: "Sickbay can wait, we must get to the bridge."
Harry: "I agree, lets go."
Bridge.
Janeway: "Bridge to engineering. What's happening down there?"
Lt. B'Elanna Torres: (V.O.) "I'm not sure Captain. The warp core is offline."
Janeway: "Estimated time for repairs?"
B'Elanna: (V.O.) "I can't give you a time until I know what's causing this. I can only give you impulse engines right now."
Janeway: (Janeway rolls her eyes and takes a deep breath.) "Report to me in one hour with an update."
B'Elanna: (V.O.) "Yes Captain, one hour. Torres out."
Engineering.
B'Elanna: "Does anyone else feel warm? Vorik, check the environmental controls."
Vorik: "Yes, Lieutenant."
Seven and Harry enter engineering with some news about their situation
Harry: "We may have an explanation for the warp field problem."
B'Elanna: (crossing her arms) "Well, lets have it."
Seven: (arms behind her back) "The further we descend into the Nebula, the higher the tachyon emissions. They seem to be having an effect on all ships systems including the warp field and environmental controls. The Doctor has also detected a signal resonating from the Nebula that's effecting biological processes as well."
B'Elanna: "So, what are you saying? That we should turn around and get out of here?"
Harry: "No, what Seven's trying to explain is that we won't be able to go to warp while we're in here but we can proceed at impulse."
Seven: "The Doctor has also informed the Captain that the effects on the crew should be tolerable and temporary."
B'Elanna: "Well, lets go break the news to the Captain."
Conference Room.
All senior staff is present.
Tom: "Impulse speed? It'll take us months to get out of here."
Seven: "147 days, 13 hours and 36 minutes to be exact."
B'Elanna: (rolls her eyes and clenches her jaw) "Thank you Seven...we all needed to hear that."
Chakotay: "Well, what's the alternative? We could always around."
Janeway: "I'm not about to add another four months to our trip. As long as Voyager can safely make the journey I don't see reason to alter course. Doctor, how about the crew, any side effects from the carrier wave?"
Doctor: "I've been examining the crew on a weekly basis and have determined some changes in the limbic system. So far the effects are minor. The signal appears to activate certain neurotransmitter as well as raise hormone levels."
Harry looks at Seven who appears to be licking her lips at him.
Harry: "Seven, are you okay?"
Seven: (speaking with a sensual inflection) "Yes Harry...I'm fine."
Harry: "Uh...Captain...something happened to Seven in Astrometrics. She said a power surge shocked her and she blacked out for a moment. Shortly afterwards, she...(clears his throat) attacked me."
Janeway: "Did she injure you?"
Harry: (face flushing) "It wasn't that kind of attack. She sort of made a pass towards me."
The senior staff exchanges looks and tries to conceal their amusement at Harry's expense.
Tom: (laughing) "Harry, are you sure it wasn't the other way around?"
Janeway: (looking at Seven) "Why didn't you report to sickbay when this happened?"
Seven: (smiling) "Why should I? I'm fine Captain. You've encouraged me to explore my humanity. What's wrong with showing affection for those you desire?"
Janeway: Seven, this doesn't sound like you...Doctor would you please.
The Doctor begins to scan her with his medical tricorder and makes a new discovery.
Doctor: "Seven's hormone levels have increased by 50%."
Janeway: "Can you counteract the effect?"
Doctor: "I believe so."
The Doctor programs his hypospray with anti-hormones and injects Seven's neck. Her expression changes from smile to her normal stoic appearance.
Seven: (confused) "Why is everyone staring at me? What's happened?"
Harry: "Remember what happened in the Jeffries Tube? It happened again."
Seven: "I apologize for my behavior Ensign."
Doctor: "It's hardly your fault Seven. The shock you received in Astrometrics has caused you to display elevated hormone levels. I've counteracted the effects, you should be okay."
Seven: "Thank you Doctor. Captain, if I may, I'd like to regenerate now."
Janeway: "Permission granted."
Chakotay: "Getting back to our situation, should we proceed knowing the nebula's effects on us?"
Janeway: "Doctor...do you have any concerns or recommendations?"
Doctor: "I don't see any immediate danger. I recommend we continue the weekly exams and monitor everyone's vitals closely. If necessary, I'll inoculate on an as need basis."
Tuvok: "Captain, may I also recommend we go to yellow alert while we're in this nebula?"
Janeway: "I agree. Tom, resume course and heading at maximum impulse. And can someone turn down the damn heat. It's beginning to feel like an oven in here."
B'Elanna: "We're working on that as well Captain."
Janeway: "Good, I'm glad to hear it. Meeting adjourned."
Cargo Bay 2
A few hours later, Harry enters the cargo bay and walks up to the regenerating Seven. He stands there for a while staring at the ex-drone then accesses the alcove's controls and brings Seven out of regenerating mode. Her eyes open, she turns around and looks at Harry. Without any word, Harry approaches the alcove and grabs Seven by the arms. Seven's smile returns as she forces her lips against Harry's.
