Chapter 2, there.
On the other Voyager, Tuvok had the con when the vessel had appeared on long-range sensors. Although the sensors had the same range all around the ship, it was usual to scan further ahead than behind. Still, they were far from flying without 'looking over their shoulder' as Lt. Paris had once put it, so it was not long after the first Voyager had spotted them that they, too, became aware of it.
Tuvok raised an eyebrow as the computer gave him the identification on the other vessel, and ran a swift check to be sure the sensors and the identification program were running correctly. As both diagnostics showed everything was in working order, he called the Captain.
In Sandrine's bar, Janeway had been playing a game of pool with B'Elanna when Tuvok's call came in. It was one of those rare moments when the rest of the bar was empty, except of course from the various holographic regulars, and Sandrine herself.
"Bridge to Janeway."
"Janeway here, go ahead," the Captain responded. Tuvok could hear the sounds of Sandrine's in the background, but he saw no logical reason to keep this information confidential. Another fifteen minutes and anyone looking out of a viewport could see the other vessel.
"Captain, scanners have picked up another vessel, and it appears to be us."
"Us?" Janeway asked.
"Yes, Captain," Tuvok replied. "The other vessel is Voyager."
"I'll be right there," the Captain said. "Did you call Chakotay?" Tuvok could pick out the various emotions in the Captain's voice, even though he seldom showed any in his own. Puzzlement, curiousity, and as always a briskness that showed she was ready for anything.
"Not yet, I will do so presently," Tuvok replied, and he did.
Moments later, the turbolift doors opened. Janeway and Chakotay entered the bridge. The viewscreen held an image that was unmistakably Voyager.
"Status, Mr. Tuvok," the Captain said as she sat down in her chair.
"The other Voyager has spotted us and scanned us, but they have not... Correction, Captain. They are hailing us," Tuvok reported.
Janeway exchanged one glance with her First Officer, who gave a small shrug -obviously he had no idea either what or where the other ship might be coming from.
"Open a channel," Janeway told the Vulcan.
