"Back here Kathryn." Chakotay called out from their office. Their office was once his bedroom, before their two quarters were combined into one large one.
"Hello there Commander, hard at work already I see." She remarked as she leaned against the doorframe, sipping the coffee she replicated on her way to see him. "Is that what I look like when I'm working?" She asked. "That mountain of PADDs is about to swallow you up, anything I can help you with?"
"No on both accounts. You appear much more organized that I and unfortunately I have to go through all of these crew evaluations before I can give them to you. You were gone early, anything happen that I need to be aware of?" He asked not bothering to look up from his stack of PADDs.
Kathryn nearly choked on her coffee. Chakotay noticed her reaction from the corner of his eye and thought it curious.
"I went down to the science lab this morning, I wanted to take a look at the latest data on the gases we collected from the Nurandy Nebula." Kathryn tried to appear as calm as possible.
Chakotay looked over the PADD he was reading, a look of confusion flashed across his face. His first thought was to let it go but his curiosity was peeked as well as his suspicions. "Kathryn are you sure you were in the science lab this morning?" He asked, his manner cool.
"Why do you ask?"
"Kathryn I was in the science lab for at least forty five minutes this morning handling a dispute between two of the crewman."
Kathryns face dropped for just a moment before she recovered and put her Captains mask on and raised her defenses.
The moment he saw her expression change from Kathryn to the Captain he knew something was up. He also knew that he wouldn't get any work done until he figured out what was going on with his wife. "You must have been there while I was in the mess hall..." She began.
"Kathryn before you say anything else I think you should know that I know when you left our quarters and I also ran into Neelix outside the mess hall, who asked if he should expect us for brunch this morning. It's not like you to lie to me. Care to tell me what's going on?"
At first Kathryn felt guilty but a second later a wave of anger over took her and it was all she could do to not start yelling at him. "I wasn't aware that you needed to know my exact where abouts for every minute of the day." She spat. Kathryn realized that her reaction and attitude were making Chakotay more and more suspicious. She began to force herself to react as the Captain and tuck Kathryn away before she caused any more damage.
Chakotay stood in front of Kathryn, his expression of anger now matched hers. Usually a patient man who would prefer to talk thing out to get to the answers, he opted for a faster more direct approach. "Computer state the where abouts of Captain Janeway from 0630 to 0800." He requested.
"Captain Janeway was in holodeck two from 0630 to 0800." Answered the shipboard computer.
"Computer who else was in holodeck two with Captain Janeway?"
"Stop right there Chakotay..." Kathryn was gearing up to do battle.
"Nobody was in holodeck two with Captain Janeway." Stated the computer.
"Computer were ships sensors left operating during the time Captain Janeway was in the holodeck?" Chakotay demanded.
"Affirmative."
"Computer was the program the Captain was running ships business or personal? Clearance code Commander Chakotay Security override Beta 4.4.0."
"Chakotay damn it stop this right know, I'm sure we can work something out."
"Are you willing to talk."
"Personal." The computer interrupted.
Chakotays expression went from anger to rage. He eyes filled with bitterness and accusations. "Kathryn I'm going to ask you this just once, does this have anything to do with Michael from Fair Haven?"
"No." Although she was telling the truth, Kathryn made the mistake of looking away when she answered him.
"Computer download the overview of Captain Janeways program to my desk console, authorization Chakotay 9.0.5"
"Computer belay that order. Chakotay please don't do this." She pleaded.
"Unable to comply, only Commander Chakotay has authorization to belay the previous request. Overview downloads complete."
Chakotay walked to his desk and turned the monitor to face him. "Kathryn are you going to tell me what's going on or am I going to have to watch this?"
