Coda to Voyager

Attention on deck!

Cadet: What was your relation with Seven of 9?

Janeway: I do not wish to discuss 7 of 9. (tears in her eyes)

Janeway: General,Sir I take full responsibilty for Seven action…

-Seven you are out of the brig but I don't want to see again this kind of action.

I love you.

Seven:-Those words meant everthing for me Kathy.

Janeway -You are the best officer Seven I have ever seen. And you are the closest to my heart. Sitting next to that fire I realised how much you mean to me. I can't afford of losing you. The intervention into Earth businesses generated tension among nations. One day you will understand.

Seven: The Allmighty Prime Directive.

Captain: Exactly.

Seven: I remember when you followed me into that fire. silence(tears in her eyes)

Captain: Cause I don't leave officer behind.

Seven: Sometimes I wish there would be only You and Me. I thought about it by that fire. For Me Perfection. To save people's life and yours simply makes me happy.

I can only write you these few words.

Seven in that storm I thought I lose you. When our shuttle hit the ground. I almost went crazy from the thought of losing you. In that cave I wanted to tell you… well never mind.

Seven: Say (stepping closer to her)

Captain: I guess well I don't know how to say after leaving Starfleet I would like to live with you. Without uniforms… I have a little house in Manchester. There. My father gave it to me when he died, a little village.

Seven: Cap…

Captain: Kathryn. This year I have to spent Christmas again without You. This year you will have time for me, I have prepared for you a little gift in order to be able to spend time with me.

Kathryn: Thank you Seven. (Putting down her coffe on the table) Seven, I have a Christmas present for you as well… the Legion of Honour Medal. For your courage.

Seven: Captain, I don't know what to say, I would do it again for you.

Captain: (tears in her eyes) Thank You.

Captain:Seven, May I have a word with you?

Seven: Of course.

Captain: This is the newest data regarding Earth's temperature. The climate change is still on focus. The winter season in Hungary, for example, seems to disappear totally. Instead of winter a very smooth winter and a very strong hot summer comes to picture.

The degree celsius was in this territory in 1990 -3, 0 Celsius in winter. Now it is 6 Celsius. Measured at Christmas time at the same time. Almost plus 6, 7 Celsius above the normal measure.

In summertime measured in July the maximum is 40 Celsius. Earlier at the same time it was only 27-30 degree Celsius. So we can say that from 1999 to 2024 the temprature rose by plus 7 Celsius in every season during 30 years period of time.

Seven: What are your orders Captain?

Orders: missing….

Kathryn just as one swallow does not make a summer, neither does one cold winter disprove theories of climate change and global warming. Thinking of you at this time of the year always makes me nostalgic. Your true love what you radiate.

Captain: tears in her eyes, Seven I don't what to say. Thank You.

7: I have found Earth. There is a wormhole that opens exactly there. By Christmastime we can be at home Captain. You and your crew. We I would like to say.

Captain: Are you sure?

Seven: Yes. Seven I don't know what to say. Thank You.

Fin

Janeway: now we are home. Watching the fireplace said Kathryn to Seven.

Captain: Seven. After all we have been through I want to tell You that I would like to settle down with you, on Earth.

Seven: good idea. I want the same. I have found a lake near a little forest. Hope you will like it.

Captain: Seven, my favourite place. Seven it has been a long time we have been working together, I could not wish for a better officer like you are.(a hug) Captain.

Seven: Do you think you can settle down Captain? After moving so much in the galaxy, you think you can rest, in a little forest next to a lake?

Captain: Good question Seven, good question. Rather I would choose the Pacific.
