Title: The Nebula
Chapter 4
"Acting Captain's log Star Date 554769.4. It's been more than four months since we entered the Class 9 nebula. Our calculations indicate it will take another three weeks to complete passage and return to normal space. Engineering is still unable to produce a stable warp field so we are resigned to maintaining our course and speed using impulse engines. The Doctor's inoculations are no longer effective and the majority of the crew is unable to control their sexual impulses for one another. As a result, I've relieved several crewmembers of their duties including all of the senior staff. Computer...end log."
With the majority of the crew relieved of duty, Tuvok is left on the bridge, Vorik is in engineering, the Doctor is in sickbay and Neelix is in the mess hall. The rest of the crew seem to be on vacation, ignoring their responsibilities and spending countless amounts of time either in the holodecks, the mess hall or in each others quarters.
Holodeck 2
Sandrine's
Tom: (sipping his drink) "I wonder if the Age of Aquarius was like this? No conformity. Just peace, love and sex anywhere and anytime you wanted to. I can definitely get used to this."
Harry: "Yeah but can your body hold up to B'Elanna's?"
Tom: "Very funny Harry. How about you...where's your sex drone?"
Harry: (chuckling) "She's regenerating. She'll be here in about an hour."
Tom: "Well, there's B'Elanna, I'll see you later."
Harry: "Have fun...tell B'Elanna I said hi."
Tom walks over to his wife and plants a huge kiss on her.
Tom: "Well, what did the Doctor say? Are you and the baby okay?"
B'Elanna: "So far so good. My elevated hormone levels are actually helping the baby's development."
Tom: (embracing her) "Well, that's good to know. How about we get some dinner and get back to our quarters, I'm feeling a bit frisky."
B'Elanna: "That's the best offer I've had all day."
Janeway's Quarters
In her oversized bathtub, Janeway sits in front of Chakotay with her back against him as they bathe together.
Chakotay: (kissing the back of her neck) "I can see why you like baths so much. I can get used to them myself."
Janeway: (pressing her body against his) "I'm finding it much more pleasurable sharing it with you... but... shouldn't we be getting back to the bridge?"
Chakotay: "Why? Tuvoks got everything under control, I'd much rather be here with you."
Janeway: "You've convinced me. We'll stay?"
Chakotay: "Now, where were we?"
Cargo Bay 2
Harry is waiting patiently for Seven's regeneration cycle to complete. Just as scheduled, he hears a click and the ex-drone disengages from her alcove. Harry is quick to approach Seven and give her a passionate kiss.
Seven: "Ensign Kim, why are you here? I was supposed to meet you in Sandrine's. Is anything wrong?"
Harry: "No, nothing's wrong, I just couldn't wait to see you. You probably don't realize how difficult it is for me when you're regenerating. All I can think of is making love to you when you're not with me."
Seven: "It is not my intention to cause you distress, (flirting) perhaps I could make it up to you."
Harry: (smiling) "What did you have in mind?"
At that moment, Seven reaches down for Harry's zipper and lowers herself onto her knees. Harry is in ecstasy for the next ten minutes as he releases himself at Seven's request. Soon afterward, they exit the cargo bay and enter Harry's quarters where they spend the next few hours making love.
Sweating profusely, they are exhausted from their lovemaking.
Harry: (breathless) "Seven, where did you learn that?"
Seven: (pushing her damp hair away from her face) "I've been talking to Lt. Torres. She has many ideas."
Harry: "I'll have to thank her the next time I see her. What else did she tell you?"
Seven: (teasing) "It's difficult to explain, I'll have to show you."
Harry: (smiling) "I'd be happy to oblige."
Sickbay
The Doctor has made a discovery regarding the nebula's carrier signal. He hails Tuvok with his news.
Doctor: "Sickbay to Tuvok."
Tuvok: (V.O.) "Tuvok here, what is it Doctor?"
Doctor: "I believe I've found an antidote."
Tuvok: (V.O.) "On my way."
A few minutes later, Tuvok arrives in sickbay.
Doctor: "I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but I realized that only a few people were immune to the effects of the nebula. Since two out of the three individuals were Vulcan, I decided to take DNA samples of you and Vorik. It seems you two have a recessive gene that maintains your hormone levels. It makes sense with all the discipline you Vulcans undergo. If we were to re-sequence the gene it can be used as a shield against the nebula's signal and hormone levels should go back to normal."
Tuvok: "Will the treatment have any effect on the pregnancies?"
Doctor: "No, I don't think so. All we're doing is giving the body a chance to return to its normal state."
Tuvok: "Ingenious idea Doctor. When can you have the antidote ready?"
Doctor: "In a couple of hours."
Tuvok: "Keep me informed."
Tuvok exits sickbay and returns to the bridge.
Two hours later the Doctor informs Tuvok that he's ready to test the antidote.
Janeway's Quarters
Chakotay and Janeway are lying in bed, suffering from exhaustion when the Doctor hails them.
Doctor: (V.O.) "Sickbay to Captain Janeway."
Chakotay: "Ignore him."
Doctor: (V.O.) "Sickbay to Captain Janeway...please respond."
Janeway: (annoyed) "What do you want Doctor?"
Doctor: (V.O.) "Its imperative that you report to sickbay immediately."
Janeway: "Why? What's wrong now? Can't this wait until tomorrow? I'm a little busy right now."
Doctor: (V.O.) "I can only imagine. I have an antidote and I need to administer it to you immediately."
Janeway: "The Commander and I want to be left alone, I'll see you tomorrow."
Doctor: (V.O.) "Captain, if you don't report to sickbay, then I'll be forced to come to your quarters."
Janeway: (whispering to Chakotay) "If we ignore him, maybe he'll go away."
Chakotay: (laughing) "For some reason, I don't think that's going to happen. Come on Kathryn, we'll go together. (smiling) The sooner we get there, the sooner we can get back."
Janeway: (rolls her eyes and exhales deeply) "We're on our way Doctor."
Sickbay
Both the Captain and Commander arrive to sickbay and receive the antidote. Within fifteen minutes, their hormone levels return to normal.
Doctor: "Well...that's better...2 down, 140 to go."
The Doctor grabs his mobile emitter and vacates sickbay to treat the rest of the crew.
Janeway: "I think I liked it better when we were going at it like rabbits."
Chakotay: "I don't know about that, I don't need my hormones to validate how I feel."
Janeway: "And how do you feel...about me that is?"
Chakotay: "You need to ask? I thought I was obvious."
Chakotay takes Janeway in his arms and places a long sensual kiss on her. He let's go of her and she is left feeling disoriented.
Janeway: (smiling) "You're right...I don't need to ask. Come on...let's go relieve Tuvok. I'm sure he'll be glad to see us. But first, I can really use a cup of coffee."
On that note, they exit sickbay.
24 hours later, the majority of the crew is back to normal with the exception of Seven who is regenerating. The rest of the senior staff is in the conference room.
Conference Room
Janeway: "First of all, I want to welcome everyone back. The past few months have been...interesting. We've all gotten a lot closer so as to speak but now we need to discuss our present situation..."
B'Elanna: (whispering) "Harry...where's Seven?"
Harry: (whispering) "Regenerating. The Doctor said she needs at least 48 hours in her alcove."
B'Elanna: (whispering) "What did you do to her Star Fleet?"
Harry: (whispering) "You should know...you're the one that told her about it."
B'Elanna: (whispering) "Oh...never mind."
Janeway: (distracted by her senior officer's private discussion) "B'Elanna...Harry...do you have something you'd like to share with the rest of us?"
Harry: "Uh...No...Sorry Captain, we didn't mean to interrupt."
B'Elanna: "I was just asking about Seven."
Janeway: (glares at Harry and B'Elanna, then turns her attention to her Security Officer) "Tuvok, since you've been in command why don't you give us a status report."
Tuvok: "Certainly Captain. According to our sensors, we should complete passage through the nebula in about a week. By that time we should be able to create a stable warp field."
Janeway: "Nice going Commander, we owe you one."
Doctor: "Actually two...if it wasn't for Mr. Tuvok's DNA, Voyager would still be the Love Boat."
Tom: "Hey, I remember that show. It was based in the 20th Century where this cruise ship would travel to different ports o' call with celebrity passengers that fall in love."
B'Elanna: "My God! We do sound like The Love Boat."
Tuvok: "Lt. Paris, what would we ever do without your endless knowledge of irrelevant trivia of early Earth history? It is illogical to clutter your mind with such useless information, but for you, it seems appropriate."
Tom: "I'll take that as a compliment...I think."
Janeway: (smiling) "Getting back to business, Doctor is there anyone besides Seven that hasn't been inoculated?"
Doctor: "No, she's the last one. As soon as her regeneration cycle is complete, I'll administer the antidote. I also want to add that the neo-natal department is completed and ready for business."
Chakotay: "Good work Doctor. You're efforts are greatly appreciated.
Janeway: "If there's nothing else to discuss, everyone's dismissed."
48 hours later, the Doctor enters cargo bay 2 and waits for Seven's regeneration cycle to end. When Seven disengages from her alcove, the Doctor dispenses the antidote with a hypospray. Within minutes, Seven begins to convulse. The Doctor transports her directly to sickbay.
Sickbay
Doctor: (hailing the Bridge) "Sickbay to Bridge."
Janeway: (V.O.) "Go ahead Doctor."
Doctor: Captain, there's a problem with Seven. She's rejecting the antidote."
Janeway: (V.O.) "I'm on my way."
As Janeway exits the bridge, Harry joins her in the turbo lift. Within minutes, they arrive at sickbay and find Seven convulsing violently.
Janeway: "Why is this happening?"
Doctor: "I think the nanoprobes are resisting the antidote."
The convulsions stop and Seven is left in a semi comatose state.
Harry: "Is she going to be all right?"
Doctor: "I don't know, talk to her Ensign, she may be able to hear you."
Harry: "Seven, can you hear me? It's me, Harry...try to wake up."
Seven continues to thrash around and doesn't acknowledge anyone.
Janeway: "Seven, listen to me, you've got to wake up. Concentrate on my voice."
Seven's tossing and turning subsides and she begins to wake up.
Seven: (groggily, she opens her eyes) "Where am I?"
Doctor: "You're in sickbay, how do you feel?"
Seven: (disoriented) "I don't know. Is the baby okay?"
Janeway: (taken by surprise, she looks at the Doctor) "Seven, what baby are you talking about?"
Seven: "Mine of course and Ensign Kim's."
Harry: (surprised) "Ah...Seven...we're not having a baby, we've never even been intimate."
Seven: (sitting up) "What are you talking about Ensign...I'm having your baby. And the Captain is having the Commander's and B'Elanna is having Tom's."
Kathryn: (amused) "Ah...Seven... nobody's pregnant. You must have been dreaming."
Doctor: "Seven, do you know what happened to you?"
Seven: "Yes, Ensign Kim and I had just finished copulating then I completed a regeneration cycle when you inoculated me with the antidote and then I ended up here. "
Doctor: "That's not quite what happened. After entering the nebula, you were in Astrometrics when a power surge overloaded the EPS relay and you received a shock to your cortical node. Your cybernetic systems temporarily shut down and you lost consciousness. You've been in a coma for the past two weeks. These memories of yours, didn't happen. You were dreaming."
Seven: (confused) "What about the nebula, it was supposed to take 147 days to clear it?"
Janeway: "The nebula exists, but we cleared it days ago."
Seven: (confused) "What about the pregnancies?"
Doctor: "None that I know of."
Seven: "Captain...you and the Commander...aren't you two having an affair?"
Janeway: (embarrassed) "Well, that's none of your business, but no, we're just friends."
Seven: "Ensign Kim...are we not having intimate relations?"
Harry: (upset) "Unfortunately...no."
Seven: "Then it was a dream. It seemed so real."
Janeway: "Your dream sounds intriguing, I would love to hear about it someday."
Seven: "Since none of the events took place, I don't think it would be appropriate to discuss it."
Janeway: "Well then...in a few words, how would you describe it?"
Seven: "For some reason, all I can think of is..."The Love Boat".
The End...
