DISTANT MEMORIES
"So as you can see I'm having trouble trying to find out what's happening to them ..." Neelix's question in her head,
"Tomato bugs" the words escaped before she'd even thought them. "Do you.remember. ... Cha?" She stopped. All eyes swivelled in her direction.
"Captain?" B'Elanna Torres was looking at the woman sitting across the table. The room had gone silent.
The morning briefing had gone well, they had no major problems and they'd almost finished just Neelix talking about the problems he was having growing the tomatoes. Looking around the table Kathryn saw them all looking at her waiting for her to elaborate on her words.
Tom was suppressing a grin he recognised a fellow daydreamer, he sat with his hands crossed on the table in front of him. Harry raised an eyebrow this could be interesting he was bored by the talk of Tomatoes too. Neelix looked as if she'd just informed them of the greatest discovery of all time, such blind faith. Tuvok glanced up at her then continued reading his padd realising this was not relevant to their situation. Seven had a look on her face that said "irrelevant".
But Chakotay his face she did not recognise at all? Of course he was the only person who would know the origin of her comment. Maybe he didn't recall at all.
Why should he remember it had been so long ago? But he did.
"I'm sorry, please continue Neelix" making an effort she listened to the remaining concerns Neelix had and the meeting adjourned. They stood and started to leave;
"Commander may I have a word?" As Kathryn spoke he stopped but she realised immediately she had made the wrong choice to try to talk about this now. His body language told her to keep her distance. Damn why did she think she even wanted to talk about this. They'd never spoken of New Earth. Even in times of extreme anger or sadness, nothing had made them break the rule both observed.
Until now, the look she had seen. Anger. She had not recognised it because his anger was rarely seen and never directed toward her, annoyance, amusement, or concern yes but anger, God what had she done.
She realised the mistake she had made allowing herself to daydream. It had begun when Neelix started to talk about tomatoes. Silly and stupid and now she had to face the consequences.
Moving toward him now he did not move a muscle, she paused. The need to try to explain that it was her error; she spoke "Chakotay."
"Captain" by moving behind the title he told her he was not willing to listen. Pushing him would be no use at times he was more stubborn than her. His look told her he was in no mood to retreat. Therefore, she took the only option left to her "Dismissed Commander"
He turned on his heel and left. She sat in the chair what now?
