Point Of View: Maren Kinomoto.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story.. Blah blah blah. Paramount. Blah. I only own Maren, half the story line and my lunch money for tomorrow!

A/N: Unfortunately, Gila was completely tied up and unable to write another chapter, so we have decided that I will write this one. ^^ Hope you like it!

Many hours after I had started the search of sea creatures' DNA, I emerged from the water and walked across the beach to a familiar face. When I had finished my search, I had informed the other group that I was returning to shore. And, there was Harry, smiling happily. He had my clothes in hand, and stood to greet me. "Found them all?" He asked me, holding my black and yellow uniform in front of me.

"Almost. Everything but something called a "cod". Whatever that is." I shrugged.

Harry frowned slightly. "That's too bad." He looked down at his feet for a second, then looked back up at me. He stopped the awkward pause, "Well, everyone is scattered about the forest. You should probably get dressed, and then we'll go look for them. . . Hm?"

I stared deep into his dark-brown eyes for a while, and smiled slightly before speaking. "You know, you have really beautiful eyes."

". Uh, Thanks." Harry blushed slightly and ran his hands through his hair.

I winked as I took my uniform from him, and dressed quickly. "All right, let's go!" I exclaimed, and began walking towards the forest. Harry followed along beside me, and soon enough we found Tom and B'Elanna.

"Hey Tom, B'Elanna." Harry greeted them, while I simply waved.

Tom and B'Elanna turned around, and they smiled immediately when they saw us. "Hey guys." He turned to B'Elanna. "Well, we're done." B'Elanna nodded. "I think it's about time to return to the ship, wouldn't you?" Tom asked us.

"I was just thinking the same," I returned, and tapped my comm-badge. "Maren to Tuvok."

"Tuvok here."

"Tom, B'Elanna, Harry and I are returning to the ship."

"Acknowledged, Tuvok out."

I smiled and tapped my comm-badge once again. "Maren to Voyager."

"Go ahead," Janeway's familiar voice sounded happy.

"Three to beam up." I shivered as the transporter bay appeared around me, and a powerful smile crossed my lips. I was about to say something smug about the transporters. When Vorik's voice interrupted me.

"Vorik to lieutenants Torres and Kinomoto."

"Go ahead, Vorik." B'Elanna replied.

"Report to engineering, we have a problem." I looked to B'Elanna and we immediately nodded. We hurried to the turbo lift and ordered, "Engineering."

...........Meanwhile, back in the transporter room...........

Harry and Tom decided to head up to the bridge and check out what was happening, and as they loaded into the turbo lift, the captain's voice echoed over the Comm. System, "All Senior officers report to the bridge. Battle stations."

When they reached the bridge, Tom and Harry reported to their stations. Soon after, the rest of the away team was beamed onto the bridge. After everyone had reported to his or her stations, Janeway stood up.

"It's the Nighthawk."
