Next chapter, and all in the same day. I really am bored.
Disclaimer: Voyager and it's characters are not mine, they belong to some really rich guy with much better things to do than write this. (Like shop)
I don't think there are any spoilers at all in the story, if I'm wrong please tell me and REVIEW.
He was sitting in his chair on the bridge feeling awful. He wished he could go and hide in the dark like he knew Kathryn had, better still with Kathryn, that wouldn't happen though, at least not when she was sober. He was suddenly aware that Lieutenant Paris was speaking to him.
"What?" He said.
"I said, rough night?" Tom asked again.
"I can't remember," He said, Tom laughed, "I think I was fine until I woke up this morning on the sofa," he emphasised, "with a monster headache and a bad back."
Tom laughed again and Chakotay smiled.
"Mr Paris, you have the bridge." He said heading towards the Captains ready room.
"Aye, sir," the reply.
************************************************************************
"Come in," she shouted as loud as she could manage. She was still lying on the sofa with her eyes closed.
"Captain," Chakotay said as he walked into the dark room.
"Yes Commander, is there a problem?" She asked she wanted to be left alone.
"Um, no Captain," he said, she could tell that there was something he wanted to say, she knew him, he was considering her mood. "I, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for anything that I might of said or done that may have offended you."
She noted he was being unusually formal, maybe he knew something that she didn't.
"Commander," she said equally formal but sitting up slowly and smiling at him, "if you did I can't remember. You're a bad influence."
"Me," he said smiling back at her and relaxing, "it wasn't my idea to open the second bottle."
He was right, she had wanted to forget about kissing him, so she wouldn't feel like doing it again, and she hadn't chosen the most sensible way to do that. She just wanted her life to be normal for once; she was tired of exploring, of fighting, of always having to be there when people needed her. Of being lonely, she admitted it to herself then, but she couldn't admit it to anyone else.
"Are you coming to dinner tonight?" She enquired.
"What?" He sounded shocked for a moment. She stood up.
"It's Wednesday," she replied simply.
"O.k.," he said, she was heading towards him.
"I think I'm going to visit sickbay," she said stopping in front of him.
"Just make sure you get the painkiller before the sermon," he joked and they both laughed, settling into their old rhythm again.
The ship jerked, sending the Captain hurtling towards the floor where she would have landed painfully if it wasn't for Chakotay who caught her as she fell, somehow managing to keep himself stable. He had strong arms, her saviour as always, she stopped herself from thinking it. Straightening herself up she charged purposefully onto her bridge.
"Report," she yelled, forgetting her hangover. Chakotay was sitting down.
"We are under attack from an unknown vessel," Tuvok informed her, his voice calm as usual, "our weapons and shields are superior to theirs however; they may have more ships in the area."
The captain nodded at him thinking over his concise review of the situation and turned to face the view screen. The ship was large, almost twice the size of Voyager, but it looked old, the ship fired again.
"Hail them," she commanded.
"They're not responding Captain," Harry Kim replied.
"Then we'll make them," the Captain said, "fire phaser's at their weapons array, disable it." She sat down on her chair, the big chair, that's what the crew called it, but it fit her perfectly.
"Their weapons systems have been disabled Captain and they are hailing us," Tuvok told her.
"On screen," she said knowing that this was going to be another delta day.
"I am Yertj'k Hrut, captain of the Jixel vessel Opine, please withdraw from this sector immediately, you are trespassing in Jixil territory." The Captain of the alien Vessel finished.
Oh great the Captain said unpronounceable's, that is what they had called species with difficult names in the academy. Their species looked almost human which they had found to be quite rare in the delta quadrant.
"We apologise for trespassing Captain Hrut," she responded, hoping she had pronounced his name correctly, "we were unaware that this area of space belonged to somebody."
"Now you are aware and you can leave," the alien Captain notified her. " My name is Captain Janeway, my crew and I are just trying to get home," she said as reasonably as she could.
"That is not my problem Captain Janeway," the alien Captain was being uncooperative, "now leave our space immediately."
"If we have to travel around your area of space it will add months to our journey, if you allowed us passage we would be gone in just over a week," she explained.
"That is not my problem, now withdraw immediately before I am forced to remove you," he said becoming even more annoyed.
"We would be willing to trade technology for passage through your space," she said, Chakotay's head shot around as did a lot of the crew on the bridge.
"I'm sorry Captain, that won't be possible," the alien seemed to be losing the little patience he had, "there are no exceptions to that law, now turn your ship around and leave immediately."
The alien disappeared from the view screen and was replaced by the image of his ship, the Captain sat back down, exasperated.
"Tom, set a course around Jixel space," her voice was flat as she gave the order, "Commander you have the bridge."
She disappeared once more into her ready room, not noticing that everyone on the bridge was staring at her. She hoped that Chakotay would know her well enough not to follow, he did.
