Title: The past 3 - the questioning begins
Tom walked into sickbay and sat on the nearest bio bed.
"Lieutenant Paris you're not due for your shift in sickbay for another two hours," the doctor said as he walked over to where tom was sitting.
"Doc I'm here for a personal reason," tom said as he took of his blood soaked uniform jacket and placed it on the bio bed.
"Lieutenant Paris I am not here to entertain your personal reasons," the doctor said
"This is important Doc. My personal problem is unique," tom said
"What is this so called unique problem of yours lieutenant Paris," the doctor said
"Doc are you aware of what happened on the holodeck," tom asked
"No I have been in my office updating the crews medical files," the doctor said
"Well let me fill you in. A few hours ago Ensign Elfman held me captive on the holodeck. He killed me twice and managed to access some personal files. While all of this was happening to me he mad sure that the bridge crew could hear and see everything he said to me and done to me," tom said
"Lieutenant is this one of your ill timed practical jokes," the doctor asked
"If it was a joke I'd be laughing," tom snapped
The doctor was about to question tom further, but he was interrupted by Captain Janeway's voice.
"Janeway to Lieutenant Paris," Janeway said in a crisp tone of voice.
""Paris here," tom answered
"Lieutenant you were ordered to come to the briefing after you had cleaned up. Would you please explain what is delaying you," Janeway asked
"Captain I'm currently in the sickbay seeking medical attention from the doctor," tom said
"Lieutenant I want you to come straight to the briefing room 1 when you have finished with the doctor," captain Janeway said
"Yes ma'am," tom answered as he signed
"Lieutenant Paris would you care to enlightened me about your personal problem," the doctor said
"Doc I haven't slept in the last few days," tom said a she stifled a yawn
"Lieutenant do you feel under pressure or stressed in anyway," the doctor asked as he ran a medical triode over tom and found nothing wrong with him.
"Doc I've been holding back who I really am. I haven't kept up my training for the last week and theta the only release I had," tom said
"You should have come to see me sooner Mr Paris," the doctor said
"I haven't had the time doc, but there is something that I need to give you for my medical file," tom said
"What would that be Mr Paris," the doctor said.
"My real medical records," tom said as he got up from the bio bed and walked into the doctor's office
"Lieutenant Paris it is against Starfleet regulations to lie about your medical files," the doctor said in a disapproving tone of voice
"In my case it was necessary. I am releasing these files fro your eyes only. Only you will be able to access my medical files," tom said as he the necessary file sand updated his medical files.
The doctor immediately sat down in his chair and began reading toms newly updated medical files. As the doctor began reading the medical files tom walked out of the office and sat down on one of the bio beds.
After five minutes the doctor came out of his office
"Lieutenant Paris your medical files tell me that you are 875 years old," the doctor said
"I do know how old I am doctor," tom said with a smile.
"Well I have a lot of questions to ask you Lieutenant Paris," the doctor said
"You might as well come to the briefing room with me doctor," tom said
"Commander where you aware of lieutenant Paris condition," Janeway asked
"I never knew about this," commander Chakotay said in a cool tone of voice.
Tom walked into the briefing and sat down in h9is usual place. The doctor walked over to where tom was sitting and quietly asked supernatant Torres to move. B'Elanna got up out her seat and went to sit next to Harry. The doctor sat down next tom and began to monitor him with his medical tricoder.
"Doctor is there something wrong with the lieutenant," Janeway asked
"Captain the lieutenant medical condition is private matter. I do however believe that it is important to monitor the lieutenant condition," the doctor said
"Doc I'm not going to break apart," tom said
"I would prefer not to take any chances," the doc said
"Doc after all I have seen and done in my 880 years this one little incident is not going to affect me. Its just another one of those things that happen," tom said in a defensive tone of voice
"Lieutenant Paris would you explain the incident in the holodeck," captain Janeway asked
"Why should I," tom said
"Mr Paris it would be to everyone's best interest if you told us what caused Ensign Elfman to do this to you," Janeway said
"Mr Elfman wanted to prove something," Tom said
" What did he have to prove," commander Chakotay asked
"Ensign Elfman wanted to prove that a was lying bastard who had lied about his past," tom said
"Why would he want to do that," Harry asked
"A few months ago I discovered that someone had been trying to access my personal files. Ensign Elfman found and read twenty of my personal files before I was able to move my files to a more secure location. I don't know what personal files he read, but what he whatever he did read caused him to do this to me," tom said as he idly pointed to his blood soaked t shirt. The t-shirt was now turning a brown colour as the blood began to dry.
"Mr Paris could you explain in more detail about what occurred on the holodeck," captain Janeway ordered.
"What part of the incident," tom said
"Why don't you start with the part about being immortal," captain Janeway said
"I was born in 1495 n England. I experienced my first death when I was 25 years old," tom said
"First death what is that," B'Elanna asked
"Every immortal is mortal until there first death. When an immortal has there first death it is usually extremely violent. After your first death there is only way in which an immortal can die," tom said
"So you don't age a day from your first death," neelix asked
"No I was 25 years old when and I'll look like this until my final death," tom said
"Lieutenant Paris can you please tell us what the maqus is," captain Janeway asked
"Ask someone who cares," tom snapped
"Lieutenant as your were the Nemesis you're the best person to ask about the Nemesis," Janeway said in a tone of voice that made it a order and not a request
"The Nemesis does not concern Starfleet," tom said
"Starfleet owes a great deal to the Nemesis," Janeway said
"The Nemesis no longer exists," tom snapped
"Tom the Nemesis gave the maqus such hope," Chakotay said in a gentle tone of voice
"The Nemesis was something that I created for the good of those colonies. Me and several other starfleet people saw the way that the Cardassains were treating people and we all knew that starfleet would turn a blind for as long as it suited them to do so. So that's when I came up with the idea of the Nemesis. The idea of the Nemesis was to start a movement that would fight the Cardassains and anyone who joined them in the quest for power of those colonies and bajor. As the Nemesis the maqus movement was started. The Nemesis also done things to protect certain members of the maqus," tom said
"What type of things did the Nemesis do," Harry asked
"When the magus was a few months old the Cardassians began to infiltrate the maqus. The Cardssians placed several of the operative deep undercover. The operatives had the appearances changed to a bajor or a human. The Nemesis disposed of the most of the operatives before they could do any real damage, but a few of them managed to avoid me. As the Nemesis I used my connections to get several key maqus members out of prison or just out of trouble," tom said
"Why did you walk away from being the Nemesis," Chakotay asked interested to know what his husbands answer would be.
"I had a few reason for wanting to leave that part of my life behind. The twenty-seven years were up and the Cardassians killed someone extremely close to me. After 27 years it was time to put the second phase of my plan into action," tom said as he wiped away the tears that were running down his face
"Who did the Cardassians kill," seven asked.
"Tom you don't have to answer that," Captain Janeway said
"Yes I do. The Cardassains killed a maqus captain David Glish," tom said
"I remember Captain Glish he was a well respected figure within the maqus. He was the person that helped me get into the maqus," B'Elanna said
"So what did he mean to you," B'Elanna asked
"He was my husband for 26 years," tom said as he avoided looking at the commander. He didn't want to see the hurt he had just caused his husband. The day was already turning out to be a bad day.
"Oh tom I'm so sorry. I didn't know," B'Elanna said.
"No one was meant to find out that David was my husband. So what else do you want to know about the "incident" on the holodeck" tom said
"Lieutenant what is the chosen one," Tuvok asked
"A person who is chosen to fight the creatures of the night. The chosen one also has a supernatural strength," Tom said
"What creatures of the night does a chosen one fight," Harry asked.
"Vampires, demons, ghouls, demi gods and prophecies that foretell my death," tom said
"Vampires actually exist," Harry Kim asked
"Yeah. Do you remember the massacre of 2365 when a 3 thousand people were found dead on the planet tweetie," tom said with a ghost of a smile
"Yes I remember hearing about the death of three thousand people the federation said it was due to a virus and all contact with the planet was broken for two months," Janeway said
"The federation put up an exclusions zone around the planet. The whole of the federation and the nearby planets were told it was part of the quarantine, but it wasn't. A pack of 49 vampires killed those people," tome said
"So how did starfleet deal with the problem," B'Elanna asked
"Hey didn't. Starfleet just left the planet alone hoping that the problem would sort itself out. When I was sorting out a problem that had occurred with one of the maqus captains I went to this planet and when I set foot on the planet my worst fears were confirmed. The vampires had killed the planets entire population and they were beginning to turn on each other. It took me three weeks to kill all those vampires and when it was over starfleet declared the planet safe," tom said
"How did starfleet know the planet was safe," Janeway asked
"I sent them a message," tom said as he let out a yawn
"Mr Paris how much do you know about starfleet," captain Janeway asked
"Gossip or intelligence wise," tom said with a mischievous grin.
"Intelligence," captain Janeway said
"Captain I'm going to have to end this briefing now. Lieutenant Paris is extremely exhausted and the only thing that is keep him awake is pure stubbornness," the doctor said
"Doc I'm fine. Dying just takes a lot out of you," tom said as he tired to remain awake.
"Lieutenant Paris you need at least a weeks rest. Captain," the doctor said leaving the unanswered question hanging in the air.
"Lieutenant Paris as from thi8s moment you have a week of. You are not to set foot on that bridge unless there is an emergency," captain Janeway said
"Captain could someone help me to my quarters," tom said as he got up from seat and used the back of chair as support.
Commander Chakotay got out of his seat and went to his husband's aid. The commander slipped an arm round tom's waist to support him.
"Commander I don't want to see you on the bridge for another week," the captain said
The commander nodded his thanks and helped his exhausted husband out of the door.
"None of what has been discussed here is to leave this room. If lieutenant Paris wants to tell the crew the truth it is within his rights to do so when he chooses. Dismissed," janeway said to the remainder of her senior staff
The senior staff all filed out of the briefing room and went back to their respective workstations. Captain Janeway remained in the briefing room thinking about the last few hours. Lieutenant Paris had given them a lot more questions than he had answers
