Captain Kathryn Janeway sat in the Mess Hall, eating her, what Neelix calls, food. She was
reading a PADD when the stout Talaxian approached her.
"Are you enjoying your meal, Captain?" he asked as he sat down in the empty chair across from her.
The woman set the PADD down on the table and took a sip of her coffee. "It's delicious." she
said, although she really didn't like it all that much.
"That's good." He replied. There was a pause before he spoke again.
"Captain," he started.
"Yes, Mr. Neelix." She asked. She knew he wanted something.
"The supplies for the Mess Hall seem to be running low. I was wondering if we'd be able to stop
sometime soon and get some more."
"That would be fine." she said with a smile. She tapped her comm. badge, "Janeway to the bridge."
"Chakotay here."
"Commander, lay in a course for the nearest m-class planet. We're running out of veggies down
here."
"Aye, Captain. Chakotay out."
"Thank you, Captain." Neelix said as he stood and went back to work.
Kathryn smiled and went back to reading her PADD.
A few minutes later, she had finished reading her PADD and eating her dinner. Yawning, she
stood up and made her way to the bridge.
When she stepped off the turbo lift and made her way to the Captains Chair, she asked her First
Officer what the status was.
"We found an uninhabited m-class planet not far from here in the Clavarie system." Chakotay told
her. "We should be arriving there in about two hours."
"Good." she said and tapped her comm. badge, "Mr. Neelix,"
"Yes, Captain?"
"You'd better get an away team ready fast. We'll be arriving at the planet in about two hours."
"Thank you, Captain. I'll get right on it. Neelix out."
two hours later
When they neared the planet, Neelix and his away team were in the Transporter Room, ready to beam
down to the surface.
There were four people who would be accompanying the Talaxian. Lieutenant Tom Paris, in case
there were any problems medically. Tuvok and another security officer were also there, just in
case they were needed and Seven of Nine knew a little bit about Delta Quadrant vegetation, so
she was also coming along.
Captain Janeway was there too, but only to see them off.
"Whenever you're ready, Mr. Neelix." She said.
In response, the away team stepped onto the transporter pad and in a few minutes the computer
console in front of them was replaced by lots of green vegetation.
Everyone simultaneously took out their tricorters and began scanning the area, even though Neelix
and Seven were the only ones who knew what to look for.
"Over there." Neelix said, pointing toward the mountain in the north. "There's some Nevaline
fruit growing by the mountain."
In response, everyone followed him toward the mountain.
"Pick all the fruit you can find, even if it's not ripe." he said once they got to the fruit. He
didn't need to show them what it looked like, because they could all see it. It seemed that if
the Nevaline plants weren't growing there, there would be a field at least 3 kilometers long.
"Are you sure this stuff is eatable?" Tom asked, holding up the precarious-looking fruit as he
scanned it with his tricorter. It was an ugly shade of green, the kind some people call puke-green.
"Yes, Mr. Paris. It's defiantly eatable. In fact, I survived 3 months on only Nevaline fruit
when I got stranded on this planet eight years ago..."
"Lieutenant!" Seven called to Tom.
"What is it?" he asked as he made his way in her direction. She didn't answer him, just let him
see for himself.
"Oh my God."
Notes: I know it's short, but I wanted to post, and this was a perfect place to end it. Sorry to
everyone who would like more. I'll hopefully post more tomorrow, although I'm not making any
promises. Review and it might urge me to type some more up. I have lots in a notebook, just
waiting to be typed up. ^_^
