Okay, scene three, sorry this took so long…

Scene Three

Once they had entered the ready room, Captain Janeway seated herself comfortably in the chair facing Captain Archer's desk. Raising both his eyebrows Archer made himself comfortable, just as Porthos jumped down from his little perch. And right to Captain Janeway. She just looked down in surprise and almost amusement.

"Is this your dog?"

"Yes." Archer stated, a little startled. It wasn't like Porthos to just go straight to someone.

She smiled a little half smile and picked the dog up to put him on her lap, "What's his name?" She asked casually as she scratched Porthos's ear.

"His name is Porthos." He paused for a moment, "You like dogs?"

"Yes." She looked up momentarily, "I've got a dog myself back on Earth." She paused quickly, "In my time that is…"

Porthos settled down in her lap as she settled back in her chair, Captain Archer decided he should get down to business, "So who was that man who…snapped… in here?"

"Oh, him. That's Q. If you see him anywhere around, expect trouble."

Suddenly there was a flash of white light and Q was there, Captain Janeway just rolled her eyes and put her head in her hand.

"You haven't told him yet, Kathy? I'm so hurt."

"Q, Captain Archer and I need to discuss a few things."

"Fine." With that he snapped his fingers and was once again gone.

"Don't ask." Captain Janeway said seeing Archers confused expression.

"Then I won't" Archer looked down at his dog, who seemed quite comfortable in their guest's lap, and noticed Janeway was fiddling with as small metal device in her hand.

"What's that?

"What?"

"That, in your hand." He pointed at the emitter.

Captain Janeway looked down and realized that she still had the mobile emitter in her hand, "Oh, this."

"Yes, what is it?"

She paused a minute, as if pausing a moment to think about if she should tell him, "Have you heard of holographic technology yet?"

She'd apparently made up her mind, "We saw some of it a few months ago . Why? What does that have to do with anything?"

Janeway held up the small object, "This, is our doctor."

Archer looked at her like she was crazy, "I find that very hard to believe, Captain."

"He's a hologram."

"And you can fit his program in that?"

"Yes. Do you want me to activate him?"

"Why not. But first, let me call our doctor." He leaned over and pressed a button, "Archer to Phlox."

Janeway sighed, how naïve is this guy? For all he knows, it could be a weapon! And he says 'why not'. She sighed again and put her head back in her hand. Well, at least he has a dog.

A voice came over the intercom, "Phlox here Captain, what can I do for you."

"Can you please come to my ready room."

"I'll be right there." The voice replied.

A few moments later a man walked trough the door. He wasn't the thinnest of men, but it seemed to add to his charming look. He had some ridges along his forehead and next to his eyes. "What is it you want, Captain?"

"Captain Janeway, this is our doctor, Phlox."

"It is a pleasure to meet you Captain." Captain Janeway nodded a thank you.

"Can you activate your…what did you call him?" Archer asked.

Captain Janeway smirked a small half smile, "Our EMH."

Phlox spoke up, "If I may ask, what does that stand for?"

"Emergency Medical Hologram. Although we don't really use him just for emergencies anymore."

Phlox nodded his satisfaction. Janeway sighed and held the emitter out beside her, pressing in a few commands, a man shimmered into appearance.

"Please state the nature of the medical emergency." He the almost immediately turned to his captain, "Captain, I don't appreciate just being deactivated like that!"

Captain Janeway suppressed a small laugh, "I'm sorry doctor, I just couldn't get two words in!"

"Welcome to the Enterprise, Doctor…. Doctor…what did you say his name was?"

"I haven't picked one yet."

"My apologies Doctor."

"I don't mind. I actually get it quite a bit."

"Oh, Captain Janeway…" Archer indicated that he wanted to get on to more important matters.

"Yes."

"How exactly did you get here?"

"I haven't quite grasped how Q does it, except that he's omnipotent and has complete control of space, time, and matter."

Archer raised his eyebrows, "Any idea how this is?"

"None."

"Captain," The EMH started, "Um, Captain Janeway. I have no idea where we are."

"I'm sorry doctor." She replied ernestly, "From what I can tell Q has tossed us back in time, to the Enterprise NX-01."

"That far back?!" The EMH was surprised, "Well, at least it wasn't back to the creation of the cosmos this time."

"Creation of the cosmos?" Archer injected cautiously.

"We've encountered Q a few times previously to this." Janeway cleared up for him.

"How many times exactly?"

"Before this? Three."

"Only three?"

"Oh, believe me, each one was quite interesting…." She seemed mildly irked from the idea of it.

"All right," He decided not to ask any thing more about Q, for now, "Would you like a tour of the ship?"

"That would be nice."

"Sir, if I may," Phlox began, "I need to feed my bat".

"A bat? How interesting," The EMH commented, "Do you have any other life forms?"

"Yes, I have several. Would you like to see them?" Phlox offered.

The doctors turned toward their captains with eyebrows raised, like two kids asking their parents permission to play.

"I don't see why not." Archer said slowly, "Captain, would you like me to show you Engineering?"

With a smirk and a nod from Captain Janeway, they left the Ready Room.

Review? :D
