Mutiny part 2

Disclaimer: See part one.

Janeway had taken a small tour of the ship, she discovered that most of the ship was the same as hers. Now she was back at her quarters. She was about to go in them when she heard someone come out of there's. It was Chakotay. She smiled, "It's nice to see someone who doesn't stare at me."

"I know what you mean. I looked around the ship myself and noticed everyone has a bad staring habit. Oh, and I spoke to one person and she had some information you might find interesting."

"What is it?"

"You remember Harry's double, his last name wasn't Kim."

"Yes it was Kija, I remember."

He smiled, "Well, apparently, your double has the same last name."

Janeway frowned, "What?"

"Kija is her last name. I find it rather interesting they have the same name. It's even spelled K-I-J-A."

Janeway frowned at first then understood. "The first 2 letters of Kim and then the first 2 letters of Janeway. You'd think it would be pronounced 'Ki Jae' not 'Kea Jah.' "

Chakotay looked up and laughed lightly. Janeway turned to see Kim walking towards them.

"Captain, I think some of them are up to something."

"Is that our concern?"

"I'm not sure. They spoke about a plan. One was afraid of us being here would interfere with it. But they're going to continue."

Janeway glanced at Chakotay, "This may or may not be serious. If it is and we're still going to be here when it happens... Harry, who is involved that you know of?"

"Their Tuvok, their doctor, Lieutenant Kija, and Annika."

"Did you see Tuvok," Chakotay asked, "Did he have the diamond type communicator. I know the others did."

"Yes, he did."

"All from the same group," Janeway added.

"Now we should find out which group they are," Chakotay said.

Commander Tuvok spoke to the Captain about reports and updates from Voyager. He found it rather boring and was glad to leave. THe left the bridge and went into the turpolift. "Computer locate Dr. Kija, Lieutenant Kija, and Lieutenant Commander Hannsen."

"Dr. Kija is in sickbay." The computer responded. "Lieutenant Kija and Lieutenant Commander Hannsen are in deck 3, section 4."

Tuvok tapped his com badge, "Tuvok to Hannsen."

"Yes."

"You and Harry go to sickbay."

"Aye sir...Is that all?"

"Yes. Tuvok out." Tuvok hurried to sickbay and arrived before they did. "Is anyone else here?"

Kathryn frowned, "No. Just me."

"Good. I believe-" He heard someone come in. He turned but it was only Harry and Annika. He continued, "I believe one of the visitors may know something of our plan."

"What?" Annika said, "How?"

"Before I turned and went into the turbolift I heard it open. When I got there no one came out, so someone went in. When I went in I saw that someone. He acted as if he was there already. But I know he went in."

"So you think he heard part of the conversation?"

"Yes."

"Who was it."

"It was Kim."

Harry frowned, "Impossible!"

"He did leave the turpolift," Annika said. "If he did go in, and Tuvok says he did, then that would indicate that he heard some of what we said."

Kathryn turned to Tuvok, "Are you sure he went in."

"Your doubting me, Captain?"

"I just want you to be sure."

"I am sure."

Harry folded his arms, "I doubt you."

Kathryn shook her head, "You can't just doubt someone because you don't like what they say. If he found out he probably already told his captain. I'm afraid she would tell someone on this ship. This is different though. We can't deal with them the way we normally do. Harry, talk to your double and see if he told anyone else."

"Fine, Kathrena. But I still doubt Tuvok." He turned and left.

Torres next went to engineering. It was similar to hers, but different.

"Can I help you?"

Torres turned around, it was Neelix, well, this Voyager's Neelix. He was in a uniform with orange at the shoulders.

"I was just looking a little. I was also wondering, how far are you into sending us back to our reality?"

"What broke the barrier between our realities was a strong transisomiatic plasma burst. I don't know where it came from. We think something lays between our universes. When certain things hit it, it transfers it from one universe to the other. If we can find what activates it then I believe we could send you back."

"Can we help?"

"The Captain prefers you don't, sorry." Neelix went right back to work, grinning as he did.

Torres looked around a little more, then left.

Janeway was in her quarters when it chirped. She looked up. "Come in."

Kathryn walked in, she waited until the door was closed completely before she spoke, "Before you say 'no' hear me out."

Janeway frowned, "What are you talking about?"

"One of your officers overheard something and I believe he told you."

Janeway wasn't sure what to say, quickly she asked, "What did he overhear?" "He overheard something and you know."

"Do you have evidence?"

"After hearing it he went to you as quickly as he could. He was in the same hall as you and Chakotay for about five minutes. So I ask again what do you know?"

Janeway knew denying wouldn't help. "I know you and some others are planning something."

"Planning what?"

"I don't know."

Kathryn stared at her for a few seconds as if she could go into her mind and see if she was lying or not. Finely she asked, "Who's involved?"

"You, Tuvok, Lt. Kija, and Annika. Who are all in the same group, but I don't know which group that is."

"Which won't be hard for you to figure out either. Have you told anyone from this ship."

"No." Janeway stepped forward, "What are you planning?"

"That's none of your business."

"If my crew and I could interfere than it obviously affects us. So it is my business."

"If I tell you, you might tell."

"If you don't tell me I will tell."

Kathryn looked surprised. "Who of your crew knows?"

"That's none of your concern."

"It is to."

"Fine. You answer my question, then I'll answer yours."

Kathryn looked thoughtful at first, trying to come up with a sort of plan. Then she looked at Janeway. "They all know don't they? Or all soon to know."

Janeway didn't answer.

Kathryn continued, "If I don't tell you. You would investigate wouldn't you? Until you found out."

"Yes."

"Which risk others finding out." Kathryn sighed softly. "I'll tell you, but remember this. If you or any of your crew tell anyone, that would put all of you at risk."

Janeway didn't like the sound of that. "Understood."

Kathryn hesitated before continuing, "We've been planning this for four months. Me and the rest of the Maquis. We're planning a...a mutiny."

"A mutiny?" Somehow Janeway didn't except that.

"Yes, and you won't say anything about it. When it comes, I have told my crew not to attack you or anyone from your crew. But, if you tell, I will change that order."

"I see..." Janeway frowned softly, "Your crew? Were you the Maquis captain in this reality?" She was still curious about her double.

"Yes. Why do you have that look on your face?"

"Well, mutiny are dangerous, and it seems a little odd a doctor would start one. You must realize you will kill many people you've worked with. People you have healed and saved lives of."

"I plan to do this so there are the least amount of deaths as possible. So you will keep this a secret."

Janeway saw Kathryn's point. "Ok. I will."

"Good. I have to go. Maybe I can talk to you later. If you even still want to talk to me."

Janeway watched as her double left. She sighed unsure what to think now. Her door chirped.

"Come in."

This time is was Kim. "Captain, I just spoke to Lt. Kija and he was asking me about what I overheard."

"Let me guess, he said, he knew you overheard his conversation and he also knows that you told me and Chakotay because you were in the same hallway with us soon after for five minutes."

"Yes, how did you know?"

"I just spoke to my double. I want a meeting here, now. Find the others. I will too."

"Aye, sir."

Fifteen minutes later everyone was in Janeway's quarters. Janeway spoke, "I'm not sure what everyone knows at this point about a plan being made on this ship but your all going to learn more about it. I just had a conversation with Dr. Kija and-"

"Dr. Kija?" Neelix asked. Mostly everyone was about as confused as he was.

"Yes, Dr. Kija."

Neelix frowned, "I thought it was Lt. Kija.

"Lt. Kija and Dr. Kija," Chakotay said.

"They're married," B'Elanna said.

Janeway smiled a little at some of the crew's reaction. But became serious quickly and continued, "I spoke to Dr. Kija, she told me about the plan, but we are not to mention this to anyone else." She paused. "She is planning a mutiny."

"Would not saying anything be advisable, Captain?" Tuvok asked.

"This is something I would want to stay out of. As Dr. Kija sees it, if we stay neutral she'll leave us alone. If we do anything that suggests we're against her she'll go against us."

"I suggest we tell the Captain."

"Captain," the Doctor started, "Which side is Maquis and which is Starfleet."

"The Kijas, Commander Tuvok, and Lt. Commander Hannsen are Maquis."

"Staying out of this will not be easy," Tuvok said. "If we tell Starfleet now they may be able to end this."

"Well, I disagree," the Doctor said, which just about shocked everyone. The Doctor continued, "Do you think the Maquis will simply stop because they were found out. Ofcoarse not! They're going to fight back, resulting in a battle with everyone killing each other. Remember their leader here is a doctor and I believe she would take this to somewhere so there would be the least amount of deaths as possible."

Janeway nodded, "The Doctor is right. Dr. Kija does plan on doing this with the least amount of deaths."

Tuvok looked towards Janeway, "Captain how long has Dr. Kija been planning the mutiny?"

"She said 4 months, why?"

"When I heard that they were planning to do something, but didn't know what at the time, I looked at a few records. In the last four months 1 Maquis has died when a shuttle crashed. 2 Starfleet died as well in other unpredictable and unstoppable manners. However 8 Starfleet were mysterious killed at night." Tuvok glanced at the Doctor, "Apparently Dr. Kija does not care about death."

Janeway showed no expression of surprise. But she hadn't expected Tuvok to say that. We've been through worse. She reminded herself. Much worse. She wasn't sure what to say next. She wanted to talk to Kathryn. "My decision remains until further notice. Dismissed."

As the others left Chakotay approached, "Your going to talk to her aren't you?"

Kathryn was sitting on her couch reading. She heard someone enter. She glanced up to see Harry.

He sat down by her and looked at she was reading. "That book again."

"I like it."

"I can tell, Kathrena, you've read it three times now."

"Instead of talking about my book. Let's talk about something else. How was your day today?"

"Better than most. Very interesting. Yours."

"I told Captain Janeway about our plan."

"You what?!" Harry frowned in confusion, "First thing she'll so is tell Starfleet."

"Somehow I don't think so."

"Just because she looks like you doesn't mean you know her."

"Listen to you Mr. I Doubt You Tuvok Because It Involves My Double."

Harry shook his head and smiled, "Ok, you got me there."

Kathryn smiled and looked up from her book, "Don't don't doubt me again, Soon To Be Doctor Kija."

"I'll try not to, Soon To Be Captain Kija."

"Sounds great, don't you think. I never heard that before. So, things working well?"

"By tomorrow night."

"Good."

Harry smiled, then he left to the next room.

Kathryn went back to her book. She read two lines when someone was at her door. Wonder who it is. Tuvok? Annika? "Come in."

Janeway walked in.

Or her. Kathryn put the book down. "Yes?"

"If I recall correctly you said you would do it with the least amount of deaths as possible."

"Yes, and I mean it."

Janeway walked in the middle of the room. "Then why were 8 Starfleet crew members strangely killed?"

"Because they found out of our plan." Janeway turned quickly as the answer came from behind her.

Janeway turned back to Kathryn, "I see. So you had them killed."

"Yes. But you must understand I tried to avoid that. Five Starfleet on this ship know of the plan are alive. As for the others, I gave them two chances to live. When I or someone else first questioned them. And Harry also gave them a second chance right before he..." Kathryn stopped herself. Then continued, "You get the point."

Janeway glanced at Harry, "A strange job for a nurse. But I do see your point. Are you still saying it's better for everyone if I keep quiet?"

"Yes. I promise I do want to make this with the least amount of death as possible. Ofcourse I would I'm a doctor. I became a doctor to save lives, but here some must be lost."

"Must be lost. Are you sure? Is this mutiny really a must."

"Well, probably not. It's really the Captain I don't like. But when we get rid of him we know many of the Starfleet will become angry. Whether we fight or not is up to them. I'm just preparing for one to ensure, if they do fight, we have a good chance at winning."

"Why don't you just reprogram the Captain. I'm sure you have some good engineers who can try and do that."

"We do. We even have the Chief Engineer. But we tried it. Someone always found out and reprogrammed him back. Then he started getting suspicious, so we decided to just delete him."

Janeway decided not to argue anymore on what they were doing. She started to leave, then she turned around, "If I recall correctly wasn't the Chief Engineer a Starfleet crew member."

Kathryn nodded, "Lt. Cdr. Pearl Forrest, yes she is, but she doesn't like the Captain either."

"I see." Janeway nodded, then left.
