Neelix rushed around the kitchen. The Talaxian was uncharacteristically nervous seeing as Captain Janeway had assigned Tom to help him create a menu the Wilkerson's would enjoy.

            "How could they eat something that unappetizing?" Neelix complained. He was miffed at the waste of his culinary skills.

            "Have you ever had a nice, juicy, steak before?" Tom rebutted.

            "No! And I never will! Look how poorly cooked it is. You can still see the blood dripping from it!"

            "But that's part of the appeal—" Tom began, as the doors slid open. Reese walked in. Reese looked quite out of place in his jeans, T-shirt, and brown spiked hair, that was bleached at the tips. Tom rushed up to him.

            "Hi, your… Reese right?" Reese nodded in agreement, "Isn't Harry supposed to be giving you a tour?"

            "He was, but it got boring after the halo-dock."

Neelix rushed over, "Are you hungry?"

"Sure, whatcha got?"

"Well, as of right now, I'm in the middle of creating a special menu for you and your family. But it's not ready yet."

"He could use the replicators!" Tom piped in.

"The what?" Reese asked.

"Replicators, just go to that niche on the wall and say computer, then specify exactly what you want. If you do anything incorrectly, it'll tell you."

"Anything?"

Tom nodded. The biggest grin Reese had ever worn in his life spread across his face. He walked over to the replicator and rested his hand on the wall. "Computer, —".

            ["Wow! That was incredibly amazing! It felt like I actually was there, fighting against Chaotica! This place is awesome!"] Malcolm watched as his grayscale surroundings reverted to color, and his families, and Ensign Kim's, cloths changed back.

            "While we try to find a way to get you back home, you guys can have access to the holodeck. I'm sure the Captain won't mind that." Harry said, his blood racing from a rousing game of Captain Proton.

            Hal practically skipped out of the holodeck. After everyone was out, he looked around. "Where's Reese?"

            "Reese?" Lois asked, not grasping the statement at the moment, "Reese? REESE!"

            "Don't worry. Our internal sensors will be able to track him anywhere he goes on the ship. Watch. Computer: Locate life signs on Voyager not authorized by a comm badge." Harry stated.

            The room around them beeped two ascending tones, using the first twice, "Five life signs outside Holodeck One. One life sign outside mess hall." The computer announced.

            "Five…?" Harry pondered aloud.

            "I'm pregnant, as if you didn't know! Now how do we get to the mess hall?" Lois said tersely.

            "Oh. Don't worry about Reese, our cook has a knack for child care. He'll watch over Reese."

            "I hope he has life insurance!" Hal said under his breath.
