A/N I love Star Trek. According to me, Paramount only thinks they own
Voyager and all the rest. Well, reality is only an illusion, albeit a very
persistent one.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and tried to prop herself up on her elbows. Looking around groggily, she realized she must be in a hospital. It all looked so high tech. . . *No, wait,* she thought to herself. *This is sickbay.* Reassured that she knew where she was, she tried to remember what happened. *Jumping, I was jumping, then. orange. Lots of orange.* Suddenly she heard a voice and someone in a black uniform with a blue-green top band was saying "Ah, good. You've woken up. You were merely asleep when you were transported here, I went to inform the Captain. Who are you?"
The girl stared, her head spinning. This was the doctor, from Voyager . . . but how did she know that??? "I was hoping you could tell me, doctor." She said, trying to lighten up the atmosphere. Swinging her legs off the edge of the biobed, she sat up.
"You mean you don't know?"
The girl shook her head again. "Why am I on Voyager?"
"You know where you are?"
"Of course. . . I know you too, you're a hologram, but I don't know how. . . you're a TV show, wha-. . .?"
The doctor was amazingly puzzled at this, but his confusion was cut short by the wooshing of opening doors. "Ah, Captain Janeway. This girl was beamed here from Engineering, there was no explanation. She doesn't seem to know who she is, but she knows she's on Voyager. Another additional crew member you neglected to inform me about?"
"How does she know about Voyager?" Asked Janeway, perturbed.
"You mean she's not a crew member?"
"Captain, maybe we should address the point that this girl," Tuvok nodded towards the biobed, "according to B'Elanna, fell on a warp core, and apparently, she is nothing injured. This is illogical and improbable, not to mention impossible."
The girl started laughing. "Tuvok, Tuvok, Tuvok.. How Vulcan of you. B'Elanna has got some rerouters crossed. Of course I didn't fall on a warp core. . . how could I? Hello Chakotay, Captain." The girl grinned shyly at them.
"How do you know our names?" Asked the Captain, more troubled than ever.
"Well, er. . . it's kind of odd. . . but I know that you are Captain Kathryn Janeway, this is the Federation Starship Voyager, he's your first officer Chakotay, former Maquis, and this is your security Chief, Tuvok. You guys are stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Oh, and this is the doctor of course. He's a hologram." The girl finished, and then looked utterly confounded for a second. "But. . . you're not REAL, you're a TV show. . . !!" Blinking rapidly, she put her hands in the air. "Ok, now I'm confused. I know who you are, I know most of your senior staff, and I have no idea who I am. Doctor, can you run some sort of neurological scan for amnesia? I mean, if I really did fall on a warp core, maybe that's what happened."
"She could be correct. One minute." The doctor ran his tricorder over the girls head, projecting a scan onto the closed screen. "Captain. . . I think you'd better look at this!" Janeway, Chakotay and Tuvok joined the doctor at the consol. "See this purple area? That's 59% of her memory. It's the things she can't remember. Now, this white part, 15%, that's the stuff that's like habit, so it doesn't count as 'memory', so to speak. So that only leaves this 26% that she does remember."
"Some of it is darker than the other parts," noted Chakotay. "Why?"
"Those are the memories she's not as sure of. Now, why she has memories of us I can't tell you. But the supposed memories of us are, in fact, amazingly clear. As in, photographic and perfect audio memory. This is amazing. . ."
Tuvok and Janeway drew away. In an undertone, Tuvok cautioned "Captain, she could have been sent here as a spy. That could be why she has memories of us."
"A human? In the Delta Quadrant?"
"It is a possibility, Captain. She could be from the future. That was a temporal flux she fell through."
"Note taken. Have security teams in the corridor. Not in here. We don't want her feeling unwelcome." Traveling over to the young teen, she asked "How do you know who we are?"
"Hold on a minute Captain. I have an idea of what I think happened."
"Really?"
"I'm remembering something from Deep Space Nine." Janeway started at the name but the girl didn't notice. "Captain . . . I think I'm from another dimension."
Chakotay and the doctor heard this and their heads snapped up from the neuro-scan. Tuvok raised one eyebrow as Janeway turned to look at them with a - Can you believe this? - expression on her face. "Another dimension?"
"Yes. And also. . ." She took a deep breath. "I've been watching you on television."
The stunned looks on the officers faces told all.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Read, Relax, Review. . . but if you don't, that's ok. You'll get another chance in 59 billion years on the next time round. Oh, and any other short stories with Delta Andromeda are from later on. . . don't worry, it'll all make sense eventually!
