Notes: Here's some more! Enjoy!
After a couple of hours of working on the girl, the Doctor went into his office to begin a m
edical file for her and record what he had done.
As soon as he sat down, Captain Janeway came into his office.
"How is she doing?" she asked.
"As well as can be expected for an attempted suicide."
"Suicide? What happened?"
"I found an enormous amount of ibuprofen in her blood stream and a little more in her stomach
still. Apparently she tried to kill herself by overdosing on it, although I'm surprised she used
that specific medication. I'm not even sure how she got it. I doubt a normal replicator could
produce such an old medication."
"What's ibuprofen?" the Captain asked, a puzzled look on her face.
"It's an early 21st century pain killer, used to relieve aches, pains, and reduce fevers."
"But how did she get here? She looks human."
"And she is, but I'm not sure how she got here. And it appears that she couldn't have tried to
kill herself more than an hour and a half ago. How could she have done that on the surface of
that planet and there not be any evidence of what she did?" the Doctor said.
"I'll send some people down there to investigate." the captain said and tapped her comm. badge.
"Janeway to Seven of Nine."
"Yes, Captain?" came the drones voice.
"Seven, I'd like you to assemble an away team to go down to the surface and search for anything
that doesn't belong there. The Doctor and I can't figure out how this girl got there. Go
whenever you're ready."
"Yes, ma'am." Seven said, and ended the conversation.
Kathryn spoke to the doctor again, "How long do you think it will take before she wakes up?"
"I'm not sure. She could wake up in a few hours, or a few days. I don't think we should try and
wake her up either. Let her body do it in it's own time. I'll be monitoring her constantly, and
if anything changes, I'll let you know."
"Thank you, Doctor. Now, I'd better get back to the Bridge.
4 hours later
"Sickbay to Captain Janeway." came the Chief Medical Officers voice over the intercom.
"What is it, Doctor?" Captain Janeway said from her chair on the Bridge.
"I think you'd better come down here. She's awake."
"I'm on my way. Janeway out."
She quickly stood up and turned to Chakotay. "You have the Bridge." she told him and got onto
the turbolift.
When the Captain got to Sickbay, she saw Tom at the console near the surgical bay and The Doctor
in the surgical bay, trying to coax the new girl out of the corner. Janeway could see fear all
over the girls face.
"Please, come over to the bed. I want to help you." The Doctor told her, but she still wouldn't
move.
"What's going on, Doctor?" The Captain asked as she stepped up to the force field.
"Apparently, when she woke up, she didn't like where she was. She tried to get away, but I had
the force field up. That frightened her and she went to the corner, and I haven't been able to
get her out."
"I see. Does she know where she is?"
"I don't think so."
"Maybe I could try. I'll explain to her about where she is and what happened."
"Good luck." he said. "Computer, deactivate force field."
In response, the force field flickered off and Captain Janeway entered the surgical bay. Slowly,
she walked towards the girl, speaking to her as she did. "Hello, my name is Kathryn Janeway.
What's yours?"
The sobbing child looked up, here face red from crying. "Noel." she whispered.
"Noel, that's a pretty name." Now Captain Janeway was right in front of Noel, so she sat down
next to the girl. "Do you know where you are, Noel?" The girls head shook. "You're on the
Federation Starship, Voyager."
'Starship?' Noel thought, 'I must be either dreaming or I'm dead. I guess I'll just play along
though.'
"Do you know what happened to you?"
Noel nodded.
"Do you know how you got to that planet?"
"What planet? The only planet I've ever been on is earth."
"Did someone kidnap you?"
"No."
"What's the last thing you remember happening before you woke up here?"
'Should I tell them? They probably know already. But then they're going to want me to talk
about it and I don't want to, not even in my dreams.' she thought.
"I don't know. It's all blurry." she said, but she really did remember.
"Your blood says that you took an enormous amount of Ibuprofen, enough to kill you." The Doctor
said, stepping up to the girl. "Where did you get it?"
"What do you mean?" she asked, playing stupid.
"You tried to commit suicide, didn't you? We can help you, if you'll let us."
"No. I didn't try to kill myself. Please, just leave me alone." she said, curling back up into
the ball that she had been in earlier. She began talking to herself as she rocked her body back
and forth. "Please, wake up. I don't like this dream. Wake up, wake up..."
Kathryn looked at the doctor, giving him a puzzled look. Then she turned back to Noel.
"Noel, you're not dreaming."
