"I thought all 4 of them were going to ask me a lot of questions, but when I looked at them, it was I who got a surprise. Only Kes seemed shocked by it, but the other three remained expressionless. what is the matter with them?, they seem as if they had no emotion at all".

Tuvok: there are only 2 logical reasons for it: one, the computer is malfunctioning or her vital signs are something entirely different to any other species what have encountered before so the machine is not able to read them.

Doctor: it could be that, let me tell you that my program has 9.098.678.765.879.678.698.456 species recorded, and they all have great differences, but there are some patterns that are common to all living beings, and yet the readings I'm receiving from her are something entirely new. Can you tell me the name of your specie

Arwen: I'm an Elf, but your readings are not wrong, I'm dead.

Doctor: what do you mean you are dead, you are right here talking with us. Anyway, I can't find that name in my records.

Data: you won't find them, Elves are part of Earth's mythology. You find them in German and Celtic and Scandinavian cultures, according to Celtic folklore, Elves were long gone before the first Celts arrived to Europe.

Tuvok: then she must be some sort of unknown creature that somehow has heard about earth's mythology.

Arwen: is that so hard to belive that I'm an elf.

Tuvok: Myths are made by cultures when they encounter a new phenomenon and they can't explain it. I certainly don't know how you got into the ship, or how you have heard about elves, but I'm sure there is a rational explanation.

Doctor: for now you should stay here while I try something new,

Arwen "very amused" ok, I will stay, but still you will find nothing new.

Tuvok: then I will be on my way.

Data: I find you interesting, may I talk to you later.

Arwen: sure, what is your name?

Data: my name is data

Kim: I have to go to, but then in a few hours I'll come to visit you.

Arwen: Bye Kim, I'll be waiting for you.

"Then they all left".

Doctor: Do you need something to eat, are you hungry.

Arwen: not, but now that you mention it, I will need from time to time some blood.

Doctor "who was not surprided at all" your kind only lives on blood?

Arwen: no, but I have some sort of condition.

Doctor: mmm a sickness, I may be able to help you, but meanwhile what kind of blood do you need??

Arwen: "very curious" well. what kind of blood do you have?

Doctor: lets's see

"He opened some sort of room and told me to come inside, there I felt the familiar scent. First I saw a bag filled with some sort of greenish looking fluid, but it smelled terrible. I notice there were many bags filled with strange fluids. Some called to me but others only repelled me. Then I found what I was looking for, it smelled human".

Arwen: may I?

Doctor. Go ahead.

"I felt how my fangs began to grow and my eyes had now the unnatural brightness, then I sank my teeth into the bag and drank it all. When I was done I turned to face the doctor. He still had that calm expression on his face, maybe just a bit of curiosity was displayed there".

Doctor: Interesting, does that happen when you are hungry?

Arwen: only when I'm hungry or my emotions are high.



Later in the meeting hall we find there all of voyagers officers "Janeway, chakotay, tuvok, Kim, Neelix, B'elanna, Tom paris, Worf, Data and Seven".

Janeway: as I told you before, after almost a month of going through empty space we are about to make contact with a new species, we have receives a signal from a small planet. Do you know this part of space neelix? Or have the borg been here before?

Neelix: no, I have to say that this is unknown to me, I have never been here before.

Seven: the Borg have not been here either,

Tuvok: according to the readings, this is an advanced culture, they have developed Warp technology .

Janeway: our reserves of supplies are filled to the top, so we don't need to make contact, but after a month of traveling into empty space, I think the crew needs a short break, maybe if they are friendly, they will let us land for a while. I'm also tired of seeing only space.

Kim: I will send them messages and wait for an answer.

Janeway: Well I think that's all for the moment

Chakotay: wait, before we go there is also something I would like to tell everyone present, is not really important,.

Janeway: What is it?

Chakotay: I wanted to tell you all, specially those who still don't know that we have a new crew member.

Janeway: Arwen? Is she still in sick bay?

Data: yes.

Janeway: maybe we should call her to come, so she can meet you all, then she can tell us her story.
