Dealing with Emily after her father had died hadn't been the easiest. She had given her a few days alone but even now the girl had a short temper. You couldn't talk to her, you couldn't comfort her without Emily snapping. It was something different from her usual calm and collected attitude. Still Janeway was trying to make her feel better, Emily was a remarkable child, she had advanced knowledge in both medical procedures and scientific research that had been done in the labs around her. Her perception was astonishing and yet there was an even more disturbing fact. Emily seemed to have had military training as well and the suite she had boarded Voyager in only seemed to add to Janeway's curiosity. It certainly had been built with military purpose in mind. So unless the Vidiian's were partial to having child solders this uniform had been built specifically for Emily. When faced with the girl you couldn't ask her anything out right. Not without her walking away, but Janeway had an activity planed to both get her mind off the lose of her father and perhaps even raise the question of just what she might have learned in her year at the Vidiian's home world.

"Velocity, it's a game of sorts."She handed her one of the velocity phasers with a smile. "You use this to fire at an attacking disk, each time you hit it the disk changes it's target to the other player. The game ends when a player fails to hit the disk before it strikes them." Emily took the phaser with some reluctance and looked it over.

"A combat game?" Emily asked with ah air of concern. "I will not participate in combat games, I will not be made a weapon. My father made me in the hopes I could save lives, not destroy them." Emily handed the phaser back to Janeway and started walking away from her.

"So they did train you for combat." Emily stopped in her tracks and turned back to the captain. Her eyes lowering a moment as she let the captains question sink in.

"When they realized I would not produce a cure for the phage they looked to apply my other talents to different purposes. The potential of making me a perfect candidate to collect a healthy supply of viable organ donors was considered. I was put into training, they found my physical abilities to be far superior to what they had observed from the humans aboard Voyager. The program was canceled when they discovered my organs could still benefit many choice officials both political and scientific people. I was unable to finish any of my full training, my father said it was best, I am not a weapon and you captain will not make me a weapon either."

Things could have gone better, she had lost the title of Janeway and had back stepped back to being called captain. "I have no intentions of making you a weapon Emily, you're a little girl, you deserve to be a little girl just like Naomi and Amelia." She refrained from using the word normal since even Amelia herself wasn't normal. "And I would be lying if I said I didn't have other motives to bringing you here and playing a few rounds of velocity with you." Emily looked back at the captain narrowing her eyes with an air of suspicion about her. "It's no secret I have been wanting to spend a little more one on one time with you." Janeway smiled at the girl and went to hand her back the phaser for the game. "We could always pick another game to play as well, if you would like that better." Emily glanced back at the phaser in Janeway's hand and reluctantly took it. Her eyes fixed on the 'weapon' for a while, if this was only to be fired at a disk then she would play, for now. Nodding her head in agreement Janeway gave her a little smile. "Computer, velocity, first round." Almost instantly the disk appeared changing colors between blue and orange as it moved between them trying to decide who to attack. When the disk came for Janeway she fired on it turning the light a bright orange and sending it towards Emily.

Quickly the girl jumped back ducking down as the disk flew at her chest. Rolling across the ground she fired on it hitting it in the side and watching it light up a bright blue. It quickly moved towards Janeway who fired at it with great ease and made the disk fly back to Emily. For a while they did a rapid back and forth until the disk flew around the back of Emily's head after she had hit it and rushed at Janeway once again. Thinking the captain would fail to catch it in time she relaxed only to have Kathryn fire on it and send it rapidly back to Emily. With another shot and Janeway's quick shot after hers the disk flew into Emily striking her in the chest and causing more alarm than pain. "Point one to Janeway." The computer called out when Emily fell back on the ground a little startled.

"Are you alright?" She walked over helping Emily back off the ground.

"I don't know." She seemed afraid and yet at the same time there was another look on her face, a spark in her eye.

"You did fairly well keeping up with me, not many others can."

Emily brushed herself off a little and straightened her back. "I have faster reflexes than you do, my instincts to react to your own movements are also superior. I am able to predict patterns made by the disk." She lowered the phaser in her hand still feeling a rush of something, adrenaline maybe? "But I am not nearly as disciplined as you are Janeway." Most of what she had used had been pure instinct and what training she had acquired.

"From the looks of it one day you'll be more than capable of defending yourself if the occasion arises."

"Again" Emily panted pulling a smile on her face.

"Computer, round two." Emily got ready to fire at the disk almost as quickly as it appeared this time. The volley of shots had begun, the disk switching colors almost as rapidly as it had from the beginning of the game. Understanding the game and the goal a little better Emily noticed she could move a little more effortlessly. A few more volleys and Emily had found herself tripping up again, her feet slipping out from under her as the disk came spiraling down at her head. Closing her eyes she waited for those words to reach her ears again

"Two points Janeway."

"I don't like this game Captain Janeway." Emily spoke up and set the phaser down, she looked like she had seen a ghost. Her hands were shaking a little as she stood back up and turned her back on the captain. "I decided I don't like shooting at things after all. It doesn't feel right, even if it is just a disk." Her mind wandered to the combat 'games' the Vidiians had made her play. Those games had seemed fun too at first, until they stopped being fun and only made her afraid. She looked down at her restraint fiddling with it a little and making sure it was still working, that it hadn't been damaged in the fall. "Make me a promise Captain Janeway." She turned to look at the captain again. "Don't even let me hold a weapon again, even to defend myself, for your own good."
