~*~Disclaimer=me no own~*~Woohoo! Thanks for all the reviews!!! I know I
write at a million miles an hour and churn out stories by the dozen so I
appreciate the fact that people take the time to review even one of them,
had to rewrite this chapter-was absolutely appalled at what I had written-
it's amazing what utter crap you can write at 10:30pm!~*~
Adrienne opened her eyes, after taking a moment to properly wake up she silently moved to take in her surroundings, the room was unfamiliar- definitely a Sickbay of some sort-grossly outdated though.
She sat up seeing a Denobulan feeding a Menagerie of creatures in the corner. Noiselessly she slipped off the biobed and exited sickbay.
Her mind was racing through a list of possible explanations, this being a simulation sprang to mind straight away-why anyone would want to put her in a simulation was beyond her but she was too tired and her mind was too foggy to come up with a better theory.
She stole quietly through the corridors and managed to get into a Jefferies tube-away from the bulk of the crew.

Doctor Phlox turned to check on his patient and stopped short seeing the biobed empty. He crossed the room to the Comm system.
"Sickbay to Lieutenant Reed."
"Go ahead Doctor,"
"Our guest has taken a walk; could you get a team to look for her-she has a severe concussion, don't be heavy handed."
"Understood, she'll be back soon."
"Phlox out."

Adrienne crawled along quickly, pausing for breath once she was positive no one was around.
"Wonder what Dad'd say if he saw me doing this," she thought aloud, smiling a little. "Wonder if he's alive-doesn't matter really, he'll hate me anyway. Oh God Mum!"
She felt tears rolling down her cheeks as she thought of her mother. She brushed them away angrily.
"No! Now is not the time to be crying-you can cry later!" she told herself firmly.
Even so as she crawled along she couldn't help the tears falling, clouding her vision. She crawled out and came face-to-face with a very surprised crewman. Not waiting for him to shout out she punched him and hot-footed it down the corridor. She ran into a security officer, he grabbed hold of her and she struggled madly. After a couple of well placed kicks and punches she managed to break free. Seconds later they caught up with her again. Malcolm came round the corner with three others.
She knew she was beaten but continued struggling, her eyes closed as she yelled and carried on.
"Lets get her back to sickbay," said Malcolm, staring at his dishevelled officers and the little spitfire between them still kicking out.
"Who taught you to fight like that?" he asked her as they escorted her back to sickbay.
"You did," she replied bitterly. "Or my dad Malcolm Reed did, I don't now who the hell you are or any of the other weirdo's on this ship but I demand you let me go immediately!"
Malcolm didn't say a word successfully managing to conceal his surprise.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Adrienne Reed," she replied grudgingly. "What's yours? Android Three? Programme Alpha Two Six?"
He didn't say another word.
"What happened to my ship?" she asked. "After your people ruthlessly attacked us?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Malcolm replied.
"There were children on that ship!" she yelled suddenly seeming close to tears "My friends! My parents! We wouldn't have harmed you! We were on a peaceful mission! Why?! Why did you do it? We didn't have time to do anything! People's bodies littered the corridors! You insensitive snivelling BASTARDS!!!!!!!!! I hope you fry in hell! LET GO OF ME!!"
She suddenly started struggling again as they entered sickbay. Doctor Phlox quickly pressed a hypospray to her neck and she collapsed.
They deposited her on a biobed. The two guards who had found her originally were being assessed by Phlox.
"I've got to hand it to her," said Malcolm. "Not many girls her age could've taken on two trained officers. She had very set fighting techniques."
"You should be fine, you may go." Phlox told the two guards.
"I want two of you standing guard outside the doors-within earshot if the Doctor needs you." Malcolm ordered.
He watched his men leave.
"She," he began haltingly. "Called me 'Dad' and seemed to think Enterprise was out of date and so were the crew. Would it be possible for you to?"
He didn't quite manage to finish his sentence and let it trail off.
"Just so I know," he said, staring at the floor.
"I quite understand Lieutenant," said Phlox. "It should only take a moment......"
Sickbay doors opened and Archer entered.
"What's happening?" he asked. "I had reports coming that she'd been running round my ship-beating up the crew?"
"We apprehended her sir," Malcolm replied immediately. "She didn't cause too much damage."
"What did she do?" Archer asked.
"Punch and kick two of my team, and also one of the Crewmen, but he insisted he didn't need medical attention." Malcolm replied, straight- faced.
"Do we know anything about her?" Archer asked Phlox who was looking at some data.
"I know her name's Adrienne and she claims to be......"Malcolm trailed off.
"To be what?" asked Archer suspiciously.
"My daughter sir," said Malcolm hesitantly.
"Your daughter?" asked Archer disbelief.
"She's right," cut in Phlox, turning round. "Biologically she is your daughter."
"Do you know who the mother is?" Archer demanded glancing at Malcolm.
Malcolm seemed incapable of coherent speech at that moment and remained silent.
"However Captain, there is another possibility." Phlox told him. "She could be from the future, which could account to why her immune system is slightly more advanced than a normal human female. Plus medical fact states she is Lieutenant Reed's daughter, however, for that to be true she would've been conceived when he was around 12 or 13 years old."
"That would explain the temporal distortion," Archer mused. "Looks like you've just gained a new charge Malcolm, contact me once she wakes up."
Malcolm stared at the girl lying on the biobed, slowly realising with apprehension and a feeling of excitement, that he would eventually find someone. But for now a feeling of complete horror that he'd just gained a teenage daughter was sinking in.
