So I have had more time to write then usual. Now for chapter 5.
************************************************************************
Sickbay
Three slowly opened her eyes, she felt so refreshed to have actually slept for the first time in years. The room was deserted, except for the Vulcan named Tuvok, he was reading schematics on a panel near her bed. He was watching over her she realized. It was a comforting feeling, and yet she was still a little scared of these people. Why were they keeping such a close eye on her? Did they think she was dangerous? Three didn't know want the answer to that was. She looked around the holographic Doctor was no where to be seen. He must have been deactivated. Three sat up, and noticed for the first time how hungry she was. It had been years since she had last eaten anything.
"Computer activate the holographic doctor please?" Three asked the computer. She had realized that this was the only way to activate the doctor. Tuvok looked up in surprise at the sound of her voice. He hadn't realized that she had waken up.
"Access to the EMH has been denied" the computer said in its normal annoying monotone voice. Three looked at Tuvok, he could tell she was trying to reach out to him not only with her eyes but also by another way.
"Computer please activate the EMH program, authorization Tuvok Pi Alpha." Tuvok calmly said. Immediately the Doctor appeared in sickbay.
"Please state the nature of the medical emergency...oh, I see we don't have one. What can I help with?" The doctor said looking around and noticing that only Tuvok and Three were the only ones in sickbay.
"I believe Three is in need of some assistance." Tuvok said cooly.
"I see what is the problem Three, headaches, dizziness, stomachache or do you have any pains any where?" The doctor asked Three while he went over her with a tricorder.
"I realized that I have not eaten in years." She admitted. The doctor stopped with his readings.
"I see, well I'm not sure I can help you much with that one. Commander Tuvok, would you please take Three down to the mess hall? Perhaps something from the replicaters, I'm not sure if she's ready to eat Mr. Neelix's 'creative cooking'." The Doctor commented.
"Of course, will that be acceptable for you Three?" He asked making sure to include her into their plans.
"Yes, I believe it would." Three answered timidly. Tuvok came over to the bio bed and helped her down. He noted that she was a little week, but with some rest and nourishment she should be to whatever normal was for her in a week or so. The mental implications of being with the borg would take a bit longer to heal. He and Seven would all help her deal with the emotions, who knew if she would have emotions or not. At this point he thought that she would, but things could change. Seven after all when she first came on board had been a very angry person, after awhile she regained her emotions, but for the most part hid them within herself.
When they exited sick bay, she looked very scared and frightened to be going out into this strange world full of people she didn't know if she could trust.
"You will be quite safe here I assure you." Tuvok firmly told her. That didn't change Three's mind though on how she felt. The passageways were brightly lit, but stark, and unwelcome. Tuvok led her to a tubolift. She felt very confined in the space it was very uncomfortable for her.
"Deck 2" Tuvok told the computer in the turbolift. The lift immediately started on its way to deck two. Three glanced around the small confines, the movement of the lift was almost lulling to her, she kept telling herself to stay awake, she couldn't let herself put down her defenses now of all times. Her defenses weren't helping right now, so she grabbed hold of the ledge on the turbo lift wall.
"Are you feeling all right?" Tuvok asked with as much emotion as a Vulcan could. "I don't know, I'm feeling a little confined by the small space."
"That is very understandable, especially with after being with the Borg. Why Seven of Nine had fears with being around a lot of people." Tuvok informed her.
"Wait...Who's Seven of Nine...do you have other Borg on this ship?" Three asked as the turbo lift came to a stop.
"Yes, Seven is an individual now. She was once with the Borg collective, she isn't anymore, though, you have nothing to worry about." Tuvok stiffly said. He stepped out of the turbolift and led her down some more corridors and passageways till they came to two double doors which opened up on their movement toward them. Inside there was no one around except a very strange looking alien who was in what looked like a kitchen to Three.
"Mr. Neelix," Tuvok addressed the strange alien. "Do you have anything that isn't...too flavorful?" He asked of Neelix.
"For you Mr. Vulcan I have exactly what you might want and do not worry it is not...as you put it...too flavorful." The jubilant alien told Tuvok.
"Actually it is not for me, it is for her" Tuvok informed him, looking at Three who was right behind him. Neelix noticed Three for the fist time; he got a strange look on his face.
"I see, we have a new passenger, it would help to know what species she was so that I know what to make to fit her tastes." Neelix informed Tuvok, looking very serious.
"She is half human, and half Corean." Tuvok stiffly told him.
"Corean, I don't think if I have heard of that species before, well human tastes I can work with, why I just made a delightful spaghetti pasta for tonight. Everyone ate it right up, but I do believe that I have enough left for one. I can make more for you of course if you want some?" Neelix asked Tuvok, waiting for an answer.
"No, I have already eaten. Three, will spaghetti be acceptable for you?
Tuvok asked Three who had sat down at one of the tables in the mess hall.
"Yes, I think I liked pasta." Three said with uncertainty in her voice. Neelix went over to the kitchen and brought out a plate of spaghetti and some bread and water. Three looked at the plate unsure what to do at first, she picked up a fork and that was all that was needed to remember how to eat. Neelix went over to the windows where Tuvok was looking out, happy that he had made another passenger on Voyager happy.
"So Mr. Vulcan, we have another borg on board?" Neelix asked of his favorite Vulcan on board.
"Yes we do, Three is a special case though, Mr. Neelix." Tuvok said without looking at Neelix.
"What do you mean Mr. Vulcan?" Neelix asked. There was no time for Tuvok to answer as they heard a gasp from Three. They both looked around to where she was sitting. Floating in the air towards her was one of the chocolate brownies that Neelix had put out earlier.
"Am I doing that?" Three asked, her face scared, she turned her head towards Tuvok. Once her concentration left the brownie, the brownie dropped to the floor. Neelix rushed over to clean it up.
"Tuvok to Captain Janeway...you better come down to the mess hall immediately." Tuvok said via the comm system after tapping his combadge.
"Understood Lieutenant, I'm on my way now." Captain Janeway's voice came over the comm system. Tuvok returned his attention to Three; she was just starring into space wondering what had just happened. Tuvok knew that this would not be the end of the surprises to come from Three, she was after all half Corean. ************************************************************************
Ok now it is time for all of you who have just read the chapter to review it. Thanks.
