Horror Days- Chapter 4
The man walked into Voyager's sickbay alone. The Doctor had been deactivated purposely and wouldn't be activated until the mission was complete. There was another man laying on the main biobed. The stranger walked over to the enemy and grabbed a hypospray from the table near him.
The enemy slowly awoke. "I didn't know you murdered people." He said to the stranger, yet he smiled a very evil smile.
"Desperate times calls for desperate measures." The man answered. The man filled up the hypospray and walked back over to the enemy.
The enemy tried to grab the hypospray. The two were holding onto the hypospray trying to use it on the other. The enemy tried to use his big size against the smaller man, but his weakened state made the smaller man able to overcome him. The stranger put the hypospray to the enemy's neck and pushed it, injecting the poison into the man's system.
"I won't let you get away." The man said to his target. "And I won't let you hurt anyone else."
The enemy started to fade in and out of consciousness. "You…can't…protect...them all…Mr. P-"
He died. The man who said that he didn't murder had just killed a man. The man was in some shock, but knew that it was all for the greater good. He left Sickbay, returned to his quarters and activated the EMH. The Doctor would soon find out about his patient's death, and the man would probably be found out. He didn't care, though, most would be on his side, and he might even be called a hero for what he had just done…
11 Days Before… (Day 1&2)
"Captain, what I don't get is why the environmental system let that storm come through. It was working when we left." B'Elanna said to Janeway.
"The people that took Tom probably had something to do with it." Janeway answered after a couple minutes. "And they must have also had access to the system."
"Do you believe that Erinson Lerik had something to do with the kidnapping, Captain?" Neelix asked Janeway.
"It is highly unlikely that the Erinson would put himself in mortal danger to be there when Lieutenant Paris was taken, Mr. Neelix." Tuvok answered. "The Erinson himself is probably dead himself."
There was silence for the next few hours. It was now the next day and they had arrived at the piloting station. The group landed their shuttle, but stayed inside. It had started to rain rather hard, but that did not deter one pilot from coming into their shuttle.
"You needed some assistance, Captain?" The young man asked the Captain, walking in.
He was a short man, smaller than Janeway actually. His blue skin and greenish bluish hair was soaked and so was his orange pilot suit.
"Yes, we must tell officials of our colleague being kidnapped and we need to get back to our ship." Janeway answered.
"Ahh, well then, one or two of you can go down to the main building right there." The man pointed towards a large building not far from the shuttle. "Just go straight through the doors and tell them your situation, they'll then patch you through to some officials. I'll need someone to teach me how to work your shuttle, though."
"Tuvok, you teach him on the shuttle while B'Elanna and I talk to some officers." Janeway said. She turned to B'Elanna. "Let's go."
The Captain and B'Elanna opened the shuttle's door and ran outside towards the building. Once they reached it, they began to talk to someone behind a desk. The person was able to get a description of Lieutenant Thomas Eugene Paris and other names he goes by. It did not take more than half an hour to report the kidnapping and information, so Janeway and B'Elanna were amazed at how fast the young man in their shuttle learned how to use it.
"My species picks things up very fast, Captain." The man answered. "Now, if everyone will please take their seats, I will have you back to your ship in a matter of minutes."
The ride back to Voyager was bumpy, bumpier than the descent, but weather was much calmer then. After the Delta Flyer escaped the atmosphere of the planet, it quickly docked with Voyager herself.
"Well, it's great to be back!" Neelix exclaimed, though he was the only one attempting to be happy. The group started to leave the Flyer, but the pilot stayed behind.
"Well, what are you waiting for Mr…?" Janeway asked. She didn't know his name. How odd, the man had saved them from being stranded, but she never asked his name.
"Me?" The young man asked. "Oh, I'm Rinkala Pinso."
"Well, Mr. Pinso, please join us in meeting up with others from your planet." Janeway continued. "I have a feeling that getting us home will give you a promotion."
