Thanks again for my reviews!
"Sam's personal log;
Well today was interesting. It's about 19 00 now. The captain came earlier, about 4 in the morning; seriously I think she hates me on a subconscious level. We're no closer to the alpha quadrant. I searched the ship top to bottom trying to find that 0-G spot only saw 3 people the whole time. Seriously, no ones around. I think their all working or something, maybe I'm walking around in-between shifts. The first person I saw was the captain, and then there was some trade guy they have on board. Walked past him, could smell him a mile off. The man next to him didn't look very amused, could have been Tuvok but I wasn't going to ask. I think the captain went to some planet, came back about 13 00 with a visitor. I heard some people talking about it as they went down a corridor, they didn't see me though. I'm gona be seriously disturbed when this is over."

"Computer, activate the EMH" Sam said automatically as she entered sickbay.
"Please state the nature of the medical emergency" he looked round"not you again."
"Thanks a lot, what's happened here"
"The lovely captain de-activated me as I was treating a young woman from a planet. There was another man there, both species not known. That was at 13 00 hours."
"Well, we're currently 70 000 light years from home, approximately. How's that for news" The doctor didn't say anything"fair enough."
"How long will it take"
"75 years, but don't give up hope yet. Their trying to get the array and use it to get home."
"What array"
"My dreams have come true, some one on this ship who knows less then me. Have you had any more visitors"
"One man, he was extremely concerned the caretaker had done something to him, I scanned him and nothing was wrong."
"Your only visitor"
"He came 3 times this afternoon."
Sam laughed. The doctor continued cleaning up something on a tray. "Are you bored"
"I can not be bored. But if I was a human then yes, I would be bored."
"Why don't you leave" He looked at her like she was an idiot. "Oh, right."
"You're wasting energy by having me activated if just to make small talk."
"Oh, well I burnt myself on the replicator when I was trying to get soup for dinner." She paused"well not the replicator, the soup but I guess"
"I'll treat you, just be quiet."
"Thank you." She held her hand out.
"This is rather minor" he said. "You could have treated this yourself." He looked at her. "Actually maybe not"
"What are you saying"
"Medical emergency, team to the transporter room." The ship wide announcement almost blasted through the sick bay.
"I wonder did they come back" he said slightly sarcastically.
"I'm out" she replied leaving sick bay.
"Hey" he shouted as she waved. "I can be turned off" he muttered angrily.
Sam continued down the corridor and entered the turbo lift. "Deck 4" she said. The turbo lift whirred to life and the doors opened again 1 deck up. She walked to her quarters and entered them; she stood in the doorway looking in shock. A huge metal thing, about the size of the moon was outside the window.
"Okay then" she muttered under her breath.
"EMH to Samantha, I demand you come de-activate me."
"Sorry, I'll come right down." She backed away into the corridor.
"No need now, people are here to be treated. EMH out."
"Well I'm not going to bed in here with that thing." She muttered. "Oh great, I'm talking to myself. I need to find people."
She brought up a map on one of the black interactive screens in the hallway and found the mess hall, which had been empty last time she had been.
She entered the turbo lift. A few seconds later she had arrived on the correct deck and entered the mess hall through the nearest large doors. "I don't believe it." She muttered. It was empty. She turned around and left. "Deck 5" Sam said inside the turbo lift.
A few moments later she was walking down the corridor and almost got run over by a woman in marquis uniform and a man following her close behind. He did a double take when he saw her then carried on walking quickly. She entered sickbay when the ship shook as if under weapons fire.
The doctor was looking at a screen in his office, she walked over.
"Samantha" said the doctor with out looking up. "I suggest you go to your quarters."
"I just wanna know what's going on."
"We are being fired at" the ship shook again.
"Oh jee" said Sam slightly sarcastically as the floor shuddered again. "Do you know who it is"
"No" he said looking up, his face flickered with slight annoyance"and don't sit on my desk."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Doctor, I think I have a rare disease called" a man came into the sickbay, talking as soon as the doors opened; he froze when he saw her. "No wait, I'm hallucinating now." The ship shook again.
"Come now Crewman, this is Samantha. She's as real as I am."
The man frowned looking shocked, then wary. Sam laughed quietly. Suddenly the console behind the doctor exploded. Sam threw her hands over her head and turned her back on it. A moment later she turned around, the doctor had got up, she could see him in another area looking for something, a fire was burning on the desk.
"Oh no" she muttered looking round helplessly. The crewman was panicking, but looking around as well. "Computer commence" she frantically thought of the right word. "Sprinklers."
"Unable to recognize command. Please reaffirm."
"Sprinklers" she repeated to herself in bewilderment and disbelief. "The place is on fire and I ask for ancient sprinklers"
The doctor came back in his office with some kind of small cylinder and sprayed the fire.
"Sprinklers" the EMH asked skeptically. "You tell the computer to activate sprinklers"
"I was under pressure. I don't work well like that."
"I can see" the crewman said breathing out slowly.
"Hey, I was better then you, who ever you are."
"William Telfer." He said nervously looking round. "Why did the fire start so quickly, do you think there's some kind of air born"
"The captain has transported back to Voyager with her security officer" said the doctor cutting off the crewman looking at his screen.
"She left" asked Sam.
"What exactly happened doctor" the crewman asked.
"The marquis ship seems to have been destroyed. No wait, all their crew is on this ship." The doctor was reading the information on his screen quickly. "Oh no."
"What is it" Sam asked. He turned the screen towards her so she could read it. "What" she said in disbelief. "No." She re-read the scans, the array had been destroyed. "Why"
"What is it" asked Telfer. The doctor turned the screen to him.
"Why would she do this" asked Sam.
"I'm sure she has some kind of explanation."
Telfer had turned a deathly pale white.
"No." Sam said coldly.
"Samantha" said the doctor.
"Nothing can explain this." Sam pushed past the ensign and left sick bay.
