Title: The Nebula
Chapter 2
"Captain's log star date 554769.2. We've been traveling through the nebula for the past 47 days and have been experiencing system's failures throughout the ship. In addition to not having warp capacity, environmental controls are not responding as well. As a result, it has been an uncomfortable and sticky 90 degrees plus. The effects of the nebula on the crew is another story.

Janeway's Quarters
Janeway is taking a long, hot bubble bath when she's interrupted by an unexpected visitor.
door chime
She ignores it.
door chime
Janeway: "There's nobody home. Go away!"
door chime
Janeway: (closes her eyes and exhales deeply) "Who is it?"
Chakotay: "It's Chakotay"
Janeway: "Come in"
Chakotay enters her quarters with a PADD in hand.
Janeway: "I'm in the bathtub, I'll be out soon?"
Chakotay: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I'll come back later."
Janeway: "No, it's okay Chakotay, you can stay. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't important. I'll be out in a minute."
Chakotay: "Take your time. I'll be waiting out here."
Chakotay seats himself on her couch and looks towards the bathroom where steam is escaping from it. He also notices Janeway's reflection in a mirror. Feeling like a peeping tom, he looks away but something inside him makes him look again.
Janeway: "As long as you're here, can you bring me my robe?"
Chakotay: (breathing deeply) "Ah...sure. I'll be right there."
Chakotay retrieves her robe and enters the bathroom with his eyes closed. He reaches the robe out to Janeway who takes it from him. He quickly leaves the bathroom and returns to the living area. Janeway smiles at his embarrassment and closes the robe around her wet body. She enters her living area and obtains two cups of coffee for them.
Janeway: "You wanted to see me about something?"
Chakotay: (blushing) "Yes, but I don't remember what it was. Oh yes, I remember now. I wanted to talk to you about what's been going on with the crew. They seem to be getting out of control with their...(clears his throat)...passion for one another."
Janeway: (amused and smiling) "Oh? Like how?"
Chakotay: "I don't want to name anyone in particular, lets just say they've been overly distracted by their affections and are neglecting their duties."
Janeway: "Have you talked to them about their actions?"
Chakotay: "Yes, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The second I turn my back, they resume their affections."
Janeway: "Okay Chakotay, tell me who they are. Who's been giving you problems."
Chakotay: (closes his eyes and takes a deep breath) "I walked in on Harry and Seven this evening. They were having intimate relations in your ready room."
Janeway: (chokes on her coffee) "Did you say what I think you just said?"
Chakotay: "Unfortunately...yes."
Janeway: "That doesn't sound like them. Harry is such a boy scout and Seven doesn't know a thing about relationships. Are you sure it was them?"
Chakotay: "Trust me Kathryn...it was them. I had to get Tuvok to help me split them up."
Janeway: "This sounds like it could be serious. What did you do with them?"
Chakotay: "We escorted them to sickbay where the Doctor injected them with his anti-hormonal inoculation. The Doctor is concerned the crew will become immune to his inoculations pretty soon."
Janeway: "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I recommend splitting up pairs for now and reassigning them to different departments."
Chakotay: "I agree...I've already assigned Seven to work with B'Elanna in engineering. Harry will remain on the bridge. As far as Astrometrics, I've assigned Icheb to cover things."
Janeway: "Good work Commander. I can't imagine what I would have done if I found them. Lucky for you I guess."
Chakotay: (laughing) "I don't know who was more embarrassed... me or them. Since then, I can't get the image out of my head."
Janeway: (curious) "Oh really? Maybe it was the idea of them getting caught that's lingering in your mind. Or was it what you saw?"
Chakotay: (surprised by Janeway's comment) "Kathryn, are you suggesting it was a turn on for me to find them?"
Janeway: "Stranger things have happened. Don't you ever think about it?"
Chakotay: "Yes, of course...but I can never act on it even if I wanted to...you've made that clear to me."
Janeway: (surprised) "I've made it clear to you? I want it as much as you do! To hell with Star Fleet protocols! Harry and Seven aren't the only ones to have fun around here."
Janeway places her coffee cup on a table, stands in front of Chakotay and disrobes, exposing herself to her First Officer. He quickly responds by taking her in his arms and kissing her feverishly.
The following morning:
Engineering
The half Klingon engineer is fast at work trying to create a stable warp field as Seven enters.
B'Elanna: "I guess you've been assigned to me. (smiling) It's all over the ship you know...you and Harry in the ready room. nice going."
Seven: "We were not in control of our actions."
B'Elanna: "I didn't know you had a thing for Harry."
Seven: "Neither did I."
B'Elanna: "Couldn't you guys have found a more discrete place... like his quarters?"
Seven: (looking annoyed) "How is Lt. Paris this morning? I heard the Doctor had to operate."
B'Elanna: (surprised, she looks at Seven) "Touché Seven. He'll be fine."
Seven: (smirking) "What did you do to him anyway? The Doctor says he has two broken ribs, a sprained ankle, broken clavicle...
B'Elanna: (interrupts) "That's enough Seven! It's none of your business what we do in private."
Seven: "That is if you choose to stay private. Everyone in deck 9, section 12 was aware of your intimate relations last night."
B'Elanna: (smiling) "Well I guess we're even then. I'm meeting Tom and Harry for lunch today, care to join us?
Seven: "That will be acceptable"
Sickbay
The Doctor has just completed treating Tom for injuries caused by his and B'Elanna's lovemaking from the previous evening.
Doctor: "Mr. Paris, I suggest you refrain from anymore contact with Lt. Torres until we leave the Nebula. Your life depends on it."
Tom: (smiling) "So we get a little physical at times, it goes with the territory when you're involved with a Klingon woman."
Doctor: "Lieutenant, as Chief Medical Officer, I'm giving you a direct order to refrain from physical contact with B'Elanna until I can counteract it's effects on the crew."
Tom: "I'll do my best Doc but it won't be easy, she's very persuasive."
Bridge
It's 0645.
Harry: "Where's the Captain and Commander? They're 45 minutes late."
Tuvok: "I suggest we hail them. (taps his comm. badge) "Bridge to Captain Janeway"
Janeway: (V.O. Groggily responds) "Go ahead Tuvok"
Tuvok: "Is everything all right Captain?"
Janeway: (V.O.) "Yes, why? Oh my god! I've overslept. I'll be right there."
Harry decides to hail the Commander.
Harry: "Bridge to Commander Chakotay."
Chakotay: (V.O.) "Chakotay here."
Harry: "Ah...yes... Commander, it's Harry, I'm still on the nightshift. I was wondering if you were okay."
Chakotay: (V.O.) "I'm on my way Ensign."
Janeway's Quarters
Chakotay and Janeway are disheveled due to their night of passion. Janeway quickly goes for the replicator, orders two cups of coffee and begins to get dressed.
Janeway: "Could we be anymore obvious?"
Chakotay: "This was bound to happen sooner or later. Does it really bother you?"
Janeway: "I guess not. But lets try to keep a low profile. We need to set a good example for the crew."
Chakotay: (smiling) "I agree. By the way, are you available tonight?"
Bridge
Tom enters the bridge and takes his position at helm control. The rest of the bridge staff begins to gossip about the Captain and First Officer until they enter...the bridge goes silent.
Janeway: (suspiciously looks around) "At ease everyone."
Chakotay: "Harry, sorry I'm late, I'll make sure you get extra holodeck privileges if you like."
Harry: "That would be great Commander, thank you."
Chakotay: "Your welcome. Go get some sleep."
Janeway: "Tuvok...what's the latest report?"
Tuvok: "With tachyon emissions increasing we are still unable to create a stable warp field. The carrier wave is also increasing. The Doctor has been busy administering inoculations to each crewmen on a more frequent basis. As far as environmental controls, engineering is in the process of examining the gel packs."
Janeway: "Thank you for the update Commander."
Its 1200 hours.
Mess Hall
Harry and Tom are joined by Seven and B'Elanna for lunch. The four of them sit at an empty table.
Harry: "Hi Seven, how are you today?"
Seven: "I'm fine Ensign, how are you?"
B'Elanna: "Oh...come on you two. Aren't you on a first name basis by now?"
Tom: "Leave them alone B'Elanna. They're just in it for the sex."
Harry: (upset) "That's not true and you know it. Seven and I weren't in control of our actions. Can you say the same for yourself? By the way, how are your fractures healing?"
Tom: "Very funny Harry. We just got a little carried away last night."
B'Elanna: "My God...look at them, shouldn't they get a room? "
Two crewman appear to be heavily making out in plain site in the middle of the mess hall.
Seven: "It appears they are fond of each other."
Harry: "It appears to be addictive...look over there."
They turn around and notice more couples are heavily making out.
B'Elanna: "All of this passion is making me frisky. What do you say Flyboy?"
Tom: "Don't tempt me B'Elanna, the Doctor gave me strict orders to refrain from physical contact with you until we get out of this nebula."
B'Elanna: "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you...much. Hey, where did Harry and Seven go?"
Tom: (taps his comm. Badge) "Computer...locate Ensign Kim."
The computer responds that Ensign Kim is still in the mess hall. Tom and B'Elanna walk around and don't find them. They go into the kitchen and find Harry and Seven in a compromising position.
Tom: (taps his comm. Badge) "Paris to the Doctor"
Doctor: (V.O.) "Go ahead Lieutenant."
Tom: "I think you better get down to the mess hall. We need some inoculations immediately."
Doctor: (V.O.) "On my way."
Before Tom and turn around, he is knocked down and jumped by B'Elanna who begins to rip his uniform off. By the time the Doctor arrives, the mess hall looks like an orgy gone wild.
Doctor: (shocked) "Doctor to the bridge."
Janeway: (V.O.) "Go ahead Doctor."
Doctor: "We've got a problem."
