Chapter 2
Kathryn walked into sickbay, afteralmost an hour scrubbing her hair in the shower she had finally managed to get all the paint out. The Doctor who had also taken part in the paintball tournament had insisted that everyone report to sickbay after the match to have their various bruises fro the paintballs taken care of. He had set up a schedule so that he didn't end up with the entire crew in sickbay at the same time. As usual he was starting with the senior staff and the command team were as always first.
As she walked through the doors she saw Chakotay sitting on one of the bio beds and walked over to him.
"So how long did it take you to get all that paint out of your hair?" he asked with a smile.
"A lot longer than it took you I'll bet" She replied as she jumped up and sat next to him on the bio bed. "Where's the Doctor, surely he isn't trying to shower the paint off himself?"
"No he had to go to Ensign Salls Quarters, apparently she neglected to where her ear protection during the match and is really regretting it now"
"Well he'd better hurry because Tuvok's in here next and he's going to take forever to deal with, so he really doesn't want to fall behind schedule before then"
The two of them started laughing at the memory of the state Tuvok had been in after the match. They both looked up as they heard the sickbay doors slide open. The Doctor came in mumbling something and then looked at the command team sitting on the bed.
"Well Captain I'm glad you could join us, I was expecting to have to go looking for you and drag you down here"
"Doctor let's just get this over with"
"Okay Captain if you'd just like to come over here behind the screen I'll get on with it"
Kathryn looked up as Chakotay sat down next to her and smiled "All healed Commander?"
Chakotay returned her smile and nodded his head, Kathryn looked over to the helm where Tom was sitting "Well then Tom I believe you should head down to sickbay"
"But the Doc will take for ever to deal with Tuvok"
"All the same Mr. Paris the Doctor made a schedule for a reason and I believe we should stick to it"
Tom sighed getting up from his seat and ebtering the turbo lift"Yes ma'am"
"Captain I'm picking up a ship decloaking, it's hailing us audio only"
"Okay" Kathryn said as she stood up "This is Captain Kathryn Janeway of the federation star ship Voyager"
"We are the Tambor, you will be destroyed" The transmission cut off and she felt Chakotay move to her side.
"Well that was blunt"
"Red Alert" the command team took their seats once again. "Ready Phasers"
"Captain they're firing!"
"Evasive manoeuvres" Kathryn felt the whole ship shake as it was hit
"Direct hit, shields down to 60 percent"
"Target their weapons, fire"
"Direct hit, no effect"
"Arm torpedoes, fire"
"Direct hit, their shields are down to 85 percent, no effect on their weapons" The ship shook once again as it took another hit. Tom walked out of the turbo lift and went back to his station.
"Shields down to 20 percent"
"Tom get us out of here"
