(Leah POV)
Finally. As I finally got to where I was going.
"Excuse me, Can you tell me where I can find the supervisor," I said.
"Over there," He said.
"Thank you," I said.
"Your authorization and licenses, please," He said. "Level 6 in thermodynamics and quantum fusion, Well McCall I'm impressed,"
"Thank you, sir," I said.
"Now if you could just manage to report to your shift on time," He said.
"I'm sorry, I boarded the wrong transport, I ended up at the Atmosphere filtration facility," I said.
"They're always looking for skilled workers, I'm surprised they didn't offer you a job," He said.
"I promise I won't be late again," I said.
"Well it's easy to get disoriented when you're new here," He said. "I've been in this city all my life and I still get lost on occasion. Now you'll be monitoring the primary reactor coils, They process more than 8,000 metric,"
"8,000 metric tons of tylium per second at 94% thermal efficiency, I memorized the specifications," I said.
"Let me know if there's anything you need, You'll find we like to keep our workforce happy," He said.
"I can already tell it's going to be much better than my last job," I said.

(Clara POV)
Chloe, Harry, Neelix, Chakotay and I are returning to Voyager, after 5 days of trading with the Nar Shaddan.
"We nearly home Chakotay," I said.
"Almost, Home sick," Chakotay said.
"Just been missing Mum, and I can tell that Chloe is too," I said.
"Hehe," Chakotay said. "We're coming up on Voyager,"
"Where is she," I said. As I saw nothing.
"No Idea," Chakotay said. "Delta Flyer to Voyager, Delta Flyer to Voyager,"
"I can't see them on sensors," I said.
"Harry, I know you're not feeling well, but I need you and Neelix up here," Chakotay said.
"On our way," Harry said.
"Anything wrong commander," Neelix said.
"We're at the rendezvous coordinates but there's no sign of Voyager, They aren't answering hails," I said.
"Start Scanning on all frequencies," Chakotay said.

We finally got them inside a nebula but no lifesigns and life support is offline. Chakotay and Harry beamed onboard Voyager. As I took helm.
"Delta Flyer to Chakotay, What's going on," I said.
"No idea, Voyager has taken damage, Harry and I are trying to get Life support back online," Chakotay said.
"Stop what you're doing and turn around," Doc said.
"Take it easy Doc it us," Harry said.
"It's good to see some friendly faces, For that matter it's good to see any faces at all, I'm sorry I haven't gotten life support back online yet, But since I've been the only one aboard it hasn't been a priority," Doc said.
"What the hell happened," Chakotay said.
"Where's Mum," I said.
"We ran into some problems," Doc said.
"I can see that, Can you be a little more specific," Chakotay said.
"Of course, About 12 hours after you left on your away mission, things started to go wrong, We hot some sort of subspace mine, I had to transfer my programme to the mobile emitter, I tried to get in touch with the Bridge but I couldn't get through, I couldn't get through anywhere, It wasn't long before I was inundated with casualties, all suffering from tetryon radiation poisoning, Pretty soon the Captain arrived. But I could help them unless we got out of the affected area so the Captain got to crew to the escape pods and Abandoned ship. As She give me my ECH Programme. She give me control of Voyager as they got out of the area. They were sending out a distress call and hand to make do with medkits. I don't know what happened to them after that. But as I was trying to analyse the damage by the mines I had some unexpected company as a ship locked onto Voyager with a tractor beam. They were trying to take Voyager by force. So I fired on they tractor emitter breaking Voyager free. but then they took out the warp engines. I had to disabled their engines then sensors picked up additional ships. I had to reverse course and took refuge inside this nebula. I've been trying to repair the damage ever since," Doc said.
"It wasn't easy picking up your homing signal, " Harry said.
Well I had to encrypt it, Every time I left the nebula, I detected more ships searching for me," Doc said.
"What about Mum, The crew," I said. "Any idea who they are,"
"No, but I've analyzed all their weapons signatures, They match the subspace mine, It was a deliberate attempt to disable voyager, As for the crew. Not a word," Doc said.
"Chakotay we need that life support back online," I said.
"We are already on it," Chakotay said.
Please be okay Mum.

I saw someone getting attack as he was taken away I went over and help her.
"Are you alright," I said.
"Yes, Thank you," She said.
"Leah," I said.
"Annika," Annika said.
"I hope you wouldn't mind if we could get something to eat tonight," I said.
"After the shift," Annika said.
"See you then," I said.

(Clara POV)
We finally restoring primary systems, We've left the nebula to try and find the Crew and Mum. Chloe is in our quarters, As I am on the Bridge with Chakotay. Trying to repair Voyager. We even reconfigured the sensors to detect subspace mines.
"Any luck," I said.
"Nothing, Not a word from Harry," Chakotay said.
"Where are they," I said.
"No idea, but we will find them," Chakotay said.
As the Doc got here.
"I have repaired the deuterium injectors, brought secondary propulsion back online and soothed Lt Kim's upset tummy," Doc said.
"Nice," I said.
"Good work, Why dont you get started on the ruptured plasma conduits on Deck 10," Chakotay said.
"Can't you take care of those," Doc said.
"I beg your pardon," Chakotay said.
"Emergency command hologram, Doesn't that suggest my place is here in Voyager's command centre," Doc said.
"Doc, it's only us here, We have to prioritize," I said. "Chakotay, We got Weapons and Shields back online," I said.
"Kim to the Bridge," Harry said.
"Go ahead," I said.
"I've found them, They're on an Class M Planet, At maximum warp we can be there in less than 3 days," Harry said.
"Transfer the coordinates to the helm," Chakotay said. "I'll be in Astrometrics,"
"I'll hit us to warp," I said. As I got to the Helm and got us going at warp. Hold on Mum, We're coming.
(Leah POV)
"So," I said.
"It's great," Annika said. "What is it,"
"Chicken Curry, Haven't had it in a while," I said. "Glad you like it,"
"Indeed," Annika said.
As I moved over and Kissed Annika as She kissed me back.
(Clara POV)
"Acting First officer's log, Stardate 54608.6, We've traced the crew's life signs to a large city on a planet called Quarra, Unfortunately the local officials aren't being very cooperative with Chakotay. Only thing I know is that Mum is down there, And I'm getting her back on way or another. End log," I said.
"Any luck," I said.
"There's no way to beam them through the shield grid," Harry said.
"Take us out of orbit," Chakotay said.
"What, Mum is down there, Chakotay, So is the rest of our crew, we can't left them," I said.
"No, But I want these people to think we are," Chakotay said.
(Leah POV)
"Coffee," I said.
"Please," Annika said. "It's good, Comfortable,"
"First time in ages, I am," I said.
"Being here with me," Annika said.
"Even better," I said.
"Me too," Annika said.
As I kissed her.
(Clara POV)
"Chakotay," I said.
"I still say you should've posed as a Talaxian, We'd have made a striking pair," Neelix said.
"Whiskers make me itch," Chakotay said.
"How did it go," I said.
"As soon as I told the supervisor our qualifications, he was eager to hire us, He even helped me get a docking permit for my ship," Neelix said. "We'll be gainfully employed by tomorrow morning,"
"Here," Harry said.
"Give the doc your hand Neelix," I said.
"What's this," Neelix said.
"Subdermal and subcontinuous transmitter," I said. "It will let us keep a lock on you and beam your back,"
"Hold position at maximum transporter range, Clara you're in charge," Chakotay said.
"I assumed I'd be in charged during your absence, Commander," Doc said.
"Doc, That's enough, We don't have time just because you are a ECH, I'm in charge, So suck it up," I said.
As I left and headed to the Bridge.

As The same guy attack Annika as he got taken away.
"Annika, you okay," I said.
"Yes," Annika said.
"We don't belong here, This isn't right, We don't belong here," He said as he was taken away.
"You sure," I said.
"Yes, I'm fine, Meet you after we're finished," Annika said.
After I while I was near finished. When Someone came over.
"Leah," he said.
"Yes," I said.
"It's Chakotay," He said.
"I'm sorry," I said.
"I'm new here, The supervisor said you would be a good person to speak to if I had any questions," He said.
"mm, What can I help you with," I said.
"Nothing, I just wanted to introduce myself," He said.
"Oh, what did you say your name was," I said.
"Chakotay, Actually that's just what my friends call me, My Employment file lists my given name, Amal Kotay," Chakotay said.
"Well, Whatever your name is, I'm happy to help you any way I can," I said.
XXX
After we were finished. I meet up with Annika as We headed to the cafe to get something to eat.
"Hi, How was your first day," I said.
"Not bad," Chakotay said.
"Would you and your friend like to join us," I said.
"That would be nice," Chakotay said.
"Actually I was hoping we could eat alone tonight, there is something I wanted to ask you in private, You wouldn't mind if you and your friend joined us tomorrow," Annika said.
"Of course, No worries," Chakotay said.
"That was a but rude," I said.
"I know, But I meant that when I said I wanted to ask you something," Annika said.
"So what was it you wanted to ask me," I said.
"I was wondering if you wanted to move in with me," Annika said.
"What for real," I said.
"Yes, I really want you that with me," Annika said. "What do you say,"
"Yes," I said.
"What," Annika said.
"I said yes, I'd love too," I said.

(Clara POV)
"Voyager, Beam Neelix and B'Elanna Now," Chakotay said.
"Doc, Get down there, Harry," I said.
"Got her," Harry said. "We got incoming, 2 ships on a intercept course, They're charging Weapons,"
"Red Alert," I said as the Klaxons went Red.
"Harry I need an emergency transport now," Chakotay said.
"They're firing," Harry said as we got hit.
"Chakotay we can't beam you up, We're under attack," I said.
"Shields down to 80%," Harry said.
"Screw this I'm using the chair," I said as I got down there and onto the Chair as It came online. "Firing Phasers,"
"You hit them but barely did anything," Harry said.
"We have to fall back," I said.
"What about Chakotay," Harry said.
"We can't drop shields," I said. "Voyager to Chakotay, We have to fall back, We can't drop shields and we are getting hit hard,"
"Clara, Retreat, Come back for me," Chakotay said.
"We will, Keep an eye on Mum for me if you find her," I said.
"I will, Go," Chakotay said.
As I broke away from the planet.
"I'm taking us to warp," I said as we went to Warp 2. "We're clear,"
"They not pursuing," Harry said.
"We need to get repairs underway," I said. "McCall to Sickbay, Doc, How's it going," I said.
"I had to sedate her," Doc said, "I have no idea what they have done, But no doubt they have done it to the crew as well,"
"Do what you can Doc," I said.
XXX
(Leah POV)
"Listen, I'm sorry about my friend," I said.
"Excuse me," Chakotay said.
"Annika," I said. "She wasn't nice when I invited you to join us, Are you all right,"
"I'm just a little tired," Chakotay said. "First day on a new job,"
"I know how that can be," I said. "Well I just wanted to let you know you're more than welcome to sit with us,"
"Actually I was thinking about going home," Chakotay said.
"Well if you change your mind, We're celebrating," I said.
"What's the Occasion," Chakotay said.
"I've decided to move in with Annika," I said.
"Congratulations," Chakotay said.
"Thanks," I said.

"Acting Captain's Log Stardate 54622.4, I've found an ingenious place to hide while we make repairs, A moon with a Paramagnetic core that masks our energy signature, The Doc is trying to Help Lt Torres who doesn't remember any of us, I wonder if Mum is the same after Something was done to them, I hope we can reverse the effect and bring the crew home as Well as Mum, But we had no communication with Chakotay since we broke orbit. I hope he is alright, End Log," I said.
"Doc, Please tell me you got some good news," I said.
"The scan on the left was performed during B'Elanna's last physical," Doc said.
"The One on the right is how old," I said.
"Just a few minutes ago," Doc said. "The Memory centers of her brain have been radically altered,"
"People from our crew seemed to remember parts of their real lives, but they got a lot of the details wrong," Neelix said.
"Like what," I said.
"Tom knew his name, That he was from Earth, but he said space travel made him sick," Neelix said.
"Whoever did this is very sophisticated, capable of selectively manipulating memory engrams," Doc said. "Some have been suppressed, some altered, other's left intact,"
"Can you undo the damage," I said.
"I believe so, but it'll take some time," Doc said.
"I wish I could help," Neelix said.
"Maybe you can, She'll require several treatments, In between you could expose her to familiar sights and surroundings," Doc said.
"It's might jog her memory," I said.
"Say no more, I'll take her on a whirlwind tour of her own life," Neelix said.
"Don't rush things, This is going to be very traumatic for her," Doc said.
"Do what you can, I need to get back to the bridge," I said.
As I got back to the bridge.
"Harry," I said.
"We've got shields back to full strength," Harry said.
"Transporters," I said.
"I almost have them back online," Harry said.
"I'm going to try and find a way through those ships shields, something tells me we aren't through with them yet," I said. "Any word from Chakotay,"
"Nothing," Harry said. "We should of heard something,"
"He may not be safe to do so, Or someone is trying listen in on our communications," I said.

(Leah POV)
I started to see something. Something big. But I didn't know what as I snapped out of it. After Work. Annika and I went back to her after I got a few things.
"You've only been here 3 weeks, Where did you get all these things," Annika said.
"I'm a collector," I said.
"You collect Spent plasma relays," Annika said.
"I like to think of it as a decorative object, You know I think this would look better over there," I said.
"You're not going to start telling me how to dress are you," Annika said.
"Nope, unless you want to go somewhere almost looking the exact same theme," I said getting up.
"Where are you going," Annika said.
"To get the rest of my things," I said.
"There's more," Annika said.
"Course," I said.
As I left and got to my old quarters to grab the rest of my things. Just as I grabbed everything I notices, heck even smelt blood.
"Lights," I said. As they came on.
Then I heard a heart beat which was weird as I saw Chakotay behind me. As he got up.
"What do you want," I said.
"You told me you were moving out," Chakotay said as he closed the door. Then turned the lights off. Then moved over to the stairs and sat down. "I needed a place to hide,"
"Annika knows where I am, she'll come looking for me," I said.
"I'm hoping you won't tell her I'm here," Chakotay said.
"They say you had something to do with the disappearance of a woman at the plant," I said.
"I did, Her name's B'Elanna, She was bought to this planet against her will, Something was done to her so she'd forget her real life," Chakotay said.
"And what, you helped her get home," I said.
"That's right, There are other people in this city who I'm also trying to help, I'm not here to hurt anyone, you have to trust me," Chakotay said.
"You're pointing a weapon at me," I said.
As he put it down.
"Go ahead, report me, But if you do, a lot of innocent people are going to suffer," Chakotay said. "All I'm asking for is a place to stay until my friends come back for me,"
"We're going to have to do something about that arm," I said.
XXX
As I got to the plant where I got a regenerator.
"Leah, what are you doing here," Annika said. "Why are you taking that,"
"There's something I have to do, I'd let you know as soon as I get back," I said. "It's be back first thing in the morning,"
"Okay, I got something to do, Meet you back there," Annika said.
As I headed back.
"You need a doctor," I said.
"It'll have to wait till I'm back on Voyager," Chakotay said.
"Voyager," I said.
"My ship," Chakotay said.
"You live onboard," I said.
"For almost 7 years," Chakotay said.
"Don't you ever want to stay in one place," I said.
"You seem happy here," Chakotay said.
"I've got a good job," I said.
"Ever consider doing something more challenging," Chakotay said.
"My job is challenging enough," I said.
"You monitor reactor coils, Right," Chakotay said. "You're obviously a very capable woman, you could probably run that power plant,"
"Why would I want all that responsibility," I said.
(Clara POV)
"Voyager to Chakotay, Voyager to Chakotay respond," I said.
"Chakotay here," Chakotay said.
"Are you okay, Chakotay," I said.
"For the time being, Can you get me out of here," Chakotay said.
"No, We're 8 light years away," I said.
"How are you transmitting a signal that far," Chakotay said.
"We're using a triaxilating frequency on a covariant sunspace band," Harry said.
"It was B'Elanna's Idea," I said.
"I take it she's feeling better," Chakotay said.
"She's responded well to treatment, Have you located anyone else from the crew or Mum," I said.
"As a matter of fact, I'm sitting with Captain McCall right now," Chakotay said.
"How is she," I said.
"A little suspicious," Chakotay said. "Just like B'Elanna was at first, How soon can you get back into transporter range,"
"We'll need a couple more days to finish repairs, What about the shield grid," I said.
"I have an idea how to shut it down, Until I get back to you let's maintain com silence, Just in case we're being monitored," Chakotay said.
"I was about to say the same thing," I said. "Find and Keep an eye on Mum for me,"
"I will, Chakotay out," Chakotay said.
"Get repairs finished, We need to get back there," I said. "I'm still working on getting through those damn ship shields,"
(Leah POV)
"Why did you call me Captain," I said.
"Because that's who you are," Chakotay said.
"That's absurd," I said. "So what are you saying, That I was brought here by force, too, That my memories were manipulated,"
"I know it sounds strange but," Chakotay said.
"Helping you was a mistake," I said.
"Listen to me, There are more than a hundred members of Voyager's crew working at that power plant, your crew, And when our ship gets here, I'll be able to prove it to you, Look, I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to, but don't you at least want to know the truth," Chakotay said. "Let me prove who I am, Hand me that dermal regenerator," As I gave him it. As he did something then looked at me.
"We're the same race," I said.
"We're more than that, We're friends," Chakotay said.

"Am I hearing you correctly, You're actually helping this man, He abducted one of the workers," Annika said.
"She's a member of his crew," I said.
"Right and you're the captain, And you're a mother as well," Annika said. "Don't you see, He's trying to convince you that you'll have a better life if you go with him,"
"What if he is right, What if everything he has been saying is true," I said. "Don't try and tell me you haven't been seeing things either, Flashes of something,"
"Yes, I have, but what if he is wrong," Annika said.
"So what do we do," I said. "Because so far everything he has said rings true, What if I have been abducted and my Memories altered,"
XXX
"I've been analyzing our scans of the Quarren patrol ships that attacked us, and I think I've devised a way of evading their sensors," Doc said.
"Harry," I said.
"You do have a knack for tactical planning," Harry said.
"That's something I've been meaning to discuss with you," Doc said.
"Doc if it's something for another time after we got the crew back do it then, Not Now," I said. "Where are we with repairs,"
"We nearly finished another hour and we will be ready to go," Harry said.
"Commander Chakotay is hailing us," Harry said.
"We're receiving you, Chakotay go ahead," I said.
"I'm having trouble with my transceiver, this may be the last chance we have to talk," Chakotay said.
"What's you status," I said.
"I'm almost ready to shut down the shield grid, I'm sending you encrypted instructions, they'll tell you where and when to enter orbit," Chakotay said.
"We have them Commander," Harry said.
"Chakotay out," Chakotay said.
"Something sounded wrong," I said.
"Agreed," Doc said.
"Harry do we have the cloak back online," I said.
"Yes," Harry said. "Why,"
"We're going to use it as we head in just in case, Chakotay has been captured. This could be a trap," I said.

(Leah POV)
"This man is also in Tuvok's file," Annika said. As I got to the Cafe.
"What file," he said.
"Why don't you tell him," Annika said.
"Tell him what," I said.
"You will want to listen to this as well," I said.
"I can't go back to the Hospital and start asking questions, I'd be reported," He said.
"Maybe I can help," Annika said.
As She went.
"What is going on," I said.
As he told both myself and Mr. Paris what Annika told him, That we were all brought to the plant and the same time. That was went Annika came back.
"What have you found," He said.
"It appears this Chakotay was telling the truth, you were right," Annika said.
"So every worked at the plant had their memories altered," I said. "Including me,"
"I don't believe it's every worker," Annika said. "Ours did, So did yours,"
"We should report this to the authorities," Paris said.
"What if they are in on it," I said. "Chakotay said he had proof of my real identity, Aboard a ship Called Voyager,"
"How can we locate it," Annika said.
"When his crew contacted him, they were using a triaxiliating frequency on a covariant subspace band," I said.
"There is a subspace transponder at the power plant," Annika said.
"I'm going to the plant to try and contact this ship," I said. "You should help him get those people out of the hospital,"
As I left. And headed for the plant.
(Clara POV)
We were coming up on the planet.
"We're approaching the planet," Harry said.
"Yellow Alert," I said.
"We're being hailed from the Planet," Harry said.
"On screen," I said.
"Starship Voyager," Mum said.
"Mum," I said.
"Why don't you just call me Leah," Mum said.
"Where's Chakotay," I said.
"Hospitalized, he told me you had proof, of who some of us really are," Mum said.
"We do," B'Elanna said.
"You're the woman who was abducted," Mum said.
"Chakotay was supposed to deactivate the shield grid, so we could transport you and the others to safety," B'Elanna said. "If you could find a way to shut down main power, the shields grid will go down too,"
"Will you help us I said.
"I'm picking up 3 ships, It's them again," Doc said.
"Red Alert," I said. As the Klaxons went Red. As we got hit. "Mum, Please shut down the shield," I said. As we lost her signal. "Evasive pattern Beta, Target their weapons array,"
"Phasers Targeted," Doc said.
"Fire," I said.
(Leah POV)
I lost the link, As there was an Alarm going off.
"Damn," I said. As I head to get out. Then I saw 2 coming my way and 1 behind me As I jumped down.
"Stay where you are," he said.
"Yeah, Look behind you," I said as he did. I knocked him out and grabbed his gun. Then Shot at the ones coming down the stairs. Then one up top. "Okay, need to shut down the main generator but these damn consoles are too exposed,"
As I headed for the main console.
(Clara POV)
"So much for evading their sensors," Harry said.
"The only way they could've found us is if they knew exactly where to look," Doc said.
As we got hit again.
"Transporters are offline," B'Elanna said.
"We need to get rid of at least 2 of them," I said.
"How," Harry said.
"A Romulan Captain did disabled 2 attacking ships. But not 3," Doc said.
"How," I said.
"By creating a photonic shockwave," Doc said.
"How are we going to do that," Harry said.
"I already know," I said. Getting the Chair online. As I launched a Photon in between the ships. Then When it was in range of 2 of them fired a phaser and got them.
"That did it. 2 of them are down," Doc said.
As I powered down the chair.
"Target the lead ships weapons array and fire," I said.
As we got hit.
"Shields down to 60%," B'Elanna said.
(Leah POV)
I managed to get to the console.
"Evacuate," She said.
"My port is shut down," He said.
"Okay, I'll never get to the generator controls. That's it, If I make the Computer think the core is going to overload, The Main power automatically shut down," I said. As I try to get it to do that.
(Clara POV)
"We're losing shields," Neelix said.
"Where's the ZPM's," I said.
"It's still offline, I won't be able to get it back online in time," B'Elanna said.
"Any advice from you tactical database," Harry said.
"Nothing relevant," Doc said.
"B'Elanna how many escape pods do we have left," I said.
"5," B'Elanna said.
"Get ready to eject 1 of them," I said.
"I don't think abandoning ship is the answer," Doc said.
"Neither do I, Harry Can you create a dampening field around the Ready room," I said.
"Yes," Harry said. "I know where you are going with this,"
"Why," Doc said. As I filed him in as we went in there as the Doc ejected the pod.
As we heard what was going on.
"You're crew has abandoned you again, I suggest you surrender your vessel," He said.
"You should realize by now that I'm not programmed to do that," Doc said. Cutting the link as we saw the pod exploded.
As we headed out.
"Bravo, Clara," Doc said. "The last ship is disabled,"
"B'Elanna I need those Transporters," I said. Hold on Mum, we're coming.
(Leah POV)
"Come on, Do it," I said. As I finally got it.
"Warning core overload detected," Computer said. "Initiating emergency shutdown,"
"Yes," I said.
As the power went out.
(Clara POV)
"Their shield grid's failing," Neelix said.
"B'Elanna," I said.
"Transporters are coming online, Now," B'Elanna said.
"Beam them home, Doc," I said.
(Leah POV)
I was just beamed up. As I saw Annika.
(Clara POV)
"We're got them, They'll all home," Harry said.

"If it weren't for your efforts, This whole conspiracy might never been uncovered," Ambassador said.
"What'll happen to the workers," I said.
"Well, We've identified several thousand of Dr. Kadan's Patients, One they treated they'll be repatriated," He said.
"We appreciate everything you've done, Unfortunately I have duties to perform so, Mr. Neelix, The Doctor and Lt Kim will escort you back to the Transporter room," I said.

I was finally getting everything back. I remember my daughters. 7. As 7 came home.
"Hey," I said.
"Hey," 7 said.
"Is everything okay between us," I said.
"Yes," 7 said.
"Good," I said.
As the door opened as Chloe and Clara came in as they rushed and hugged me.
"Mummy," Chloe said.
"I missed you Chloe," I said.
"Mum," Clara said.
"Come here baby girl," I said as Clara hugged me as well. "I love you,"
"Love you too mum," Clara said.

I was finally ready to get back on the road for home. Our real home. Just as I get to the Bridge.
"Captain on the Bridge," Harry said.
"As you were," I said.
"Ready to go," Chakotay said.
"It may not have been real Chakotay, but it felt like home, If you hadn't come after me," I said.
"I would never hear the end of it from those kids," Chakotay said.
"I never would've known that I had another life," I said.
"Are you sorry I showed up," Chakotay said.
"Not for a second. I could feel like something was wrong but couldn't figure it out," I said. "Let's get back to our real home,"
"Ready when you are," Chakotay said.
"Tom, Resume course for home, Maximum warp," I said.
"Yes Ma'am," Tom said.
