Planet Axian II. 
A long line of people, chained to each other, are walking toward a enormous 
mountain, in the east. They are of different age, sex and species. Pasting hard 
- crossed terrain on their way to " Whaat the inhabitants are calling - Merska - 
( Hell ) ", where they are going to work in the mines - until they die. 
Centurion guards are making sure that their new prisoners are walking along 
kindly. Among the new prisoners is a human, named: Chakotay.
Chapter 1: PRISONERS
Janeway rushed through the crowded streets of the capital city, her heart 
pounding in her ears and the sounds of the pursuing Centurions close behind her. 
She turned sharply into an alleyway between two tall buildings, ignoring the 
yells of protest from the street vendors. Pausing for a moment at the end of the 
alley, she leans against the wall, panting. Checking her phaser charge, she 
fires a few shots into her pursuers before continuing her flight. Suddenly 
Janeway stops when she sees a centurion pasting, blocking the only escape path. 
Captain Kathryn Janeways eyes darkens, she is noticing a stick on the ground, 
she picks it up, and with a steady grip she rushes towards the centurion who 
notice nothing. When Janeway is close enough, she takes a swing - hitting the 
centurion hard, making his golden helmet fall off, the big man hit the ground 
with a hard thud. She drops the stick leans over to pick up the centurion's 
riffle, when another centurion comes up behind her. He raises his riffle and 
hits Kathryn on the backside of head, knocking her out. When she is beginning to 
weak up, she is noticing that she is being carried away by two centurions. She 
can see and hear the people of the city, they are disappointed and calling her 
names.  
" I hope that you will die, a slow death earthling "!!!, roars a civilian. 
" Voyager what a help "!!!, grunts another. 
Janeway is trying to cut loose from the two centurions that are holding her 
between them. One of the them are opening a cage on a transport-vehicle, he 
pushes Kathryn Janeway inside, than he locks the cadge-door. Now Kathryn knows 
how it must feel to an animal, when it has been captured. She is trying to open 
the lock on the door, but it gives her a shock. After an hour they have arrived, 
one of the men in the golden armors is marching up the path that leads to a 
great castle on the hill. After reporting, he is heading back to the 
transport-vehicle and they are going up the path. The cadge that Janeway is 
locked up in, is falling apart, when the centurions has parked. Kathryn takes 
this opportunity to try to escape, but it fails when the centurion that is 
waiting grabs her neck, and pushes her to the ground. Kathryn managed to escape 
from the evil Lord that rules the planet a few days ago, and now she is brought 
back. Lord Namro G´kler: a ruthless man, who reminds of a chines - emperor, with 
big eyes, long black hair and dressed in animal skin pants, jacket and a thicker 
harnesk of mardrik skin, ( a mardrik is a bull - liked animal ). Namro is 
smiling when his centurions are dragging Janeway up to him, and forcing her to 
bend down on her knees. The mean man is walking down to her, from his throne. 
Captain Janeway is looking up at him. This is the way that he wants it. He wants 
the people to look up to him… in fear. He grabs the Voyager captain by the cheek 
and lifts her up, until she can't feel the ground underneath her.
" Well captain, you sure are a real pain in the neck ", Namro smiles evilly, 
than he continues. " I am wondering …… How can a small creature like you, think 
that you can save both your crew and the people of Axian II"?
" Just watch me ", spits Janeway. 
" Oh I will. Be sure of it, I will ". The Lord is letting her go from his grip 
than he is walking from Janeway, to his quarters. 
The captain can't hold her rage inside anymore so she roars out. 
" Who the hell do you think you are!!!!? Your people is living in fear and 
terror. "!!!!! 
He is turning around, facing her. 
" They do. And all their hopes are gone, now that Voyager can't help them 
anymore ".
" What do you mean "?, Janeway asks this question with a worried tone in her 
voice. 
Namro G´kler is smiling at her. With a cold voice he explains the situation for 
her. He tells her that ever since the Voyager answered the hail from a 
freight-loader, some weeks ago, and promised to help them with their problem. 
Later when they talked over the hailing frequency, he ordered them to leave the 
system It didn't surprise him when Janeway told him that she was going to try to 
help the Axians anyway. When the Voyager failed, and the crew captured, the 
people that prayed for freedom understood that " the aliens that where going 
home " , where captured, they lost all hope for a free world.  
" Regarding your crew. Well.. the Indian is working as a slave in the mines of 
Harklf. The one with the ears.. I don't remember where I placed him. The rodent 
is a cook in a restaurant. The food he's making, I haven't eaten anything so 
strange in my life. The females…. The klingon,… Centurion what time is it "? 
" Three verxon past jerdson milord ", the centurion answers (14:45 ). 
" Hmmm… Either she is tortured for information or my centurions are having fun 
with her ". 
" Having fun "?, Janeways eyes darkens. 
G´ker is walking towards a great door on the left side. The centurions are 
dragging Janeway along, towards the room their Master just entered. Inside they 
are stooping. They are standing on a balcony with armored glass. Below them are 
a huge room with some tables, sofas and a few madrases. Five centurions are in 
the room, laughing out loud. A door on the other side of the room slides open 
and someone enters. Kathryn Janeway can only see that it is a woman who is 
naked. The centurions are approaching. Janeway is looking with fear, when the 
centurions violate the poor woman. Forcing her down on one of the madrases. When 
one of the centurions is taking a step to the other side, Kathryn can see who 
the woman is. 
" ……….. Bélanna ? NO "!!!, Janeway cries, pounding the glass. 
Than she turns around, facing the Lord. She hits him over the face with a flat 
hand. 
" You bastard how can you do this to her "!!? 
G´ker is grabbing the captain around her shoulders. He is leaning forward, 
speaking softly into her left ear. " This could happen to you to…unless you 
cooperates with me. And if you hit me again I'll kill you "!! 
Kathryn Janeway is closing her eyes. Than she agrees with him.
" Alright, jerk " 
" Have it your way ". 
  "Just stop this " ….. 
" As you wish…..", G´ker is pulling up a radio from his belt, hailing the 
centurions, ordering them to leave the room. 
Kathryn turns around, seeing her chief engineer lying on the madras, like a 
baby. She wants to get down their, holding Blanca in her arms, but the Lord 
won't have it.
" There, they are gone now. Are you happy now "? 
" No. I want my crew back on Voyager, so we can continue our journey home ". 
" I see… ", The yellow eyes glowing. " The Voyager it self, lets just say that 
you won't be needing it again ". 
" What do you mean "? 
" Lets face it captain. You are staying here, as my wife. You are going to make 
me happy. Give birth to my children, or your crew will die ". 
He continues. 
The Voyager it self, will be destroyed after we have taken the parts that we see 
can serve us. Your crew, I can let them get some easier work. Let's say 
servants, dancers and lovers. That's the best I can do, unless you will have 
them killed ". 
" No "… the captain replies with a crying voice. 
" Good. Centurion, prepare a room for my wife." 
The centurion is bowing and is walking away to do what He's been ordered to do. 
The Lord is also walking away. 

When he is gone, Janeway is looking for a way to get down to Bélanna. After a 
while she finds a way to get down and into the room. She is walking up to Torres 
and sits down beside her. Gently she puts her hand on the lieutenant's head. 
Bélanna is looking up. When she sees the captain she through herself in her 
arms.
" Oh, captain, it was horrible. Why are they doing this "?
" I don't know. How long has this been going on "? 
" This is the fourth time. I want to get back to Voyager ", Bélanna cries. 
" I'm so sorry Lana … I'll find away to get us back on Voyager. I promise ". 
Inside a gigantic cave, far away from the city are many people being held. They 
are working in a mine, breaking valuable rocks. Chakotay is drinking some water, 
when a centurion, with the rank of captain is approaching him. He hits the bowl 
from the Indians hand, than he is pushing him. Trying not to get mad, Chakotay 
is picking up the bowl from the dirty ground. He dusts it of, than he is going 
to drink again. The centurion hits Chakotay over the cheek, making him fall hard 
to the dirty ground. A woman is coming to his aid. She is very beautiful, slim 
waist, long legs and dark hair that reaches down to the waist. Her eyes are big 
and dark. She is pushing the guard away, than she is helping the man on the 
ground up. The centurion is grunting and is walking away. 
" Thanks ", says Chakotay.
" You're welcome ", the woman replies. 
" I'm Chakotay ". 
" K´thira ", the beautiful woman introduces her self.
A few hours later Chakotay is standing talking to another prisoner about 
different ways to escape. He made some few friends that might be able to help 
him. Among these new friends is K´thira. Chakotay has fallen for this mysterious 
female. Her character, her beautiful face, and the long hair fascinate him. She 
reminds him of a beautiful Indian girl back home, that unfortunately died in the 
war with the cardassians. Everywhere people are being beaten up mocked even 
raped by the centurion-guards. Every night for the past year, as long as she has 
been here, she has tried to find a way out from the cave that they are in. The 
only way in, was through the cave entrance, before " they ", collapsed it. Back 
then it was heavily guarded. Now nobody knows how the new prisoners can come 
into the cave. The centurions must have a secret tunnel somewhere says the 
prisoners. 
" Are you sure that there's no way out of here "?, Chakotay asks K´thira. 
" I haven't found any other entrance ", she answers.
" We must find a way ", grunts commander Chakotay. 
" Do you know someone here who might "…
" ……Know a way out "?, the beautiful woman continues his question. 
" Erm…Come to think about it…There is a way out, but no one has ever tried it ". 

" Whey's that "?, Chakotay asks.
" It's just to dangerous ", she finish the conversation.
Chakotay and K´thira are sitting down, than she is leaning her head to his 
chest. The commander is thinking about Voyager, the crew and off course Kathryn 
Janeway. He mumbles for himself, trying to get his thoughts together. 
" What went wrong? The freighter… The old man asking for help. Later we where on 
This planet, talking to the Lord. He was not that friendly. When the captain 
asked about the people's condition, he became angry and told us to leave this 
planet at once. The people started to gather around her and us. She promised to 
help them. When we failed, the people turned against us. Now we are prisoners 
here, and our home - Voyager, I wonder if we'll ever see her again ".

The Lord is sitting on his throne, around him are six guards standing. He is 
ordering a centurion, which just entered the throne-room to get Janeway, and 
bring her to him. Namro is leaning back, closing his eyes. After five minutes 
the centurion is pushing Janeway inside the large room, where the Lord is 
waiting. G´Ker is opening his eyes, when he sees the captain he smiles. He snaps 
with his fingers, and four female slaves are entering in a hurry. They are 
beginning to set the table by the large window, when dune they are asking their 
Master and Janeway to sit down. Minute's later, three " waiters ", are coming up 
to them. They have different trays, jars, and plates with them. Fast they are 
placing everything on the table, they serve the dish and than they are leaving. 
Kathryn has a " what - is he - up - to - now ", expression on her face. 
" Can you be so kind to tell me, why I'm here, again "?, Janeway asks.
" Off course. I've been thinking about the entire situation " .
" And what have you decided "?, Janeway is sitting down on the opposite side.  
" I have … Try the wine. You'll do as I've told you. Give birth to my children, 
become my wife and make me happy! "! 
" Why should I do that? It's all about you, what about me "!!!? 
" What about you "?
" You are even worth than Seven and Bélanna when they starts to rumble "! 
" Ah yes! The Borg and the Klingon half - breed. My centurions had allot of fun 
with them. So have I for that matter ". 
" Don't change the subject! You come here with your centurions, terrorizing the 
people of THIS planet, trying to be some-kind of warlord. But You are not that 
big without them "!!!!!!!!! 
" How do you now "? 
" Oh. I've met species in this quadrant, and back home that are far more 
superior than You "!!! " Name one "! " He can show up everywhere, and he can 
disappear with a snap "!
" Who is he "? 
" Q "!!, Janeway is fixating her eyes in Larnos, making him step back, for a 
second than he is smiling. 
" So you know somebody, good for you! But it won't help you here "! 
" Cut the crap Larno, or if that really is your name, let my crew go "!! 
Larno is laughing. He will never let the crew go, or step down from his 
position. He knows it, as well as Kathryn Janeway. 
" I'll make a deal with you captain."
" What "? 
" You stay here with me, than I will not only spar your crew, I'll even let them 
go ".
" I feel that there's more coming, what is it "? 
" Children ".
" Children "?, Janeway is looking confused.
" Yes. I still don't have any of my own. You could help me with that ".
" Having children, with you? "
" Yes. A child and your crew can be free this minute ".
" How can I be sure of that "? "
" You can't. Trust me ". 
" I rather snuggle with a drakenbeast than to trust you "!, Janeway roars.
" You are trying my patience, woman "!!!!
" Not more than you are trying mine "! 
" Do you know that your crew can die any second "!!!!!!?
" Just words, you are only trying to scare me ", Kathryn is standing up, " If 
you really wanted my crew dead, they already would be "!!!!!!
" That is true. And besides….", he is walking over to Kathryn. " I'll tell you 
the truth captain, I am capable of anything, I really don't care about the 
people here, Voyager or you . I care only for one thing … To get what I want ". 
" And what do you want, You repulsive maggot "!!?  
" I want Power, a way back in the council of my planet, and an HEIR "! 
" Who in this freaking universe wants to have a child with you "? Janeway asks 
with allot of hate in her voice.
" You do "!, the lord replies, " You will give me a child . One way or the other 
"!!! 
" Me "?, Janeway starts to laugh, " I think I'll past "!! 
" It will happen like this, you and I are going to have sex. You are going to 
give birth to the child, You are going to nurse it, care for it "….. 
" I see . And what are you going to do, daddy "? 
" What do you mean, what I'm going to do "!!!!?, G´Ker cries out.
" You can't seriously mean, that I'm going to accept this "?, Janeway is asking, 
at the same time she is looking strangely at him. 
" I am always serious !, G´ker snarls at her.
" Well you are forgetting one thing. You see I'm a very stubborn woman, and very 
demanding, and I'm used to get things dune my way. Just want you to know ". 
They are arguing for a long time, they are both becoming angrier and angrier by 
the minute. G´Ker is throughing the dishes of the table at Janeways side, into 
the wall. His eyes are glowing with anger. He is facing a centurion, who is 
walking up to them. Namro is ordering the centurion to get the female out of his 
sight. When he is alone, he is sitting down on his chair. Later Namro G´Ker is 
beginning to calm him self-down. When a half an hour past, he is once again 
thinking clearly. 
" That was not the way to deal with Janeway. She is a complex woman, not like 
the females back on Argonia ".  

Kathryn is sitting on the bed in her room, with her legs over the edge. She is 
dressed in a red silk gown. She is looking around and is wondering what is going 
to happen next. On the left side of the bed is a chandelier standing, with eight 
candles. After ten minutes the door opens to her room, a young and pretty girl, 
possibly half Janeways age is entering. The girl is a Benthan ( see Voyager: 
season 4 episode: Vis á vis. The girl that is with Tom Paris. ), She is dressed 
only in a sky-blue wrapper, carrying a tray with two glasses and a jug on it. 
She is placing the tray on the bed, and then she is poring some wine into the 
glasses, and is giving Janeway one of the them.
" Thank you ", says Janeway, trying to be friendly to the girl.
" What's your name "?
" My name "?, the girl asks confused. "… Nadria ". 
" Nadria ", says Janeway with a smile, " How old are you "? 
" I am ", the girl thinks for a moment " In your years… nineteen, twenty I 
guess. I do not know ". 
They are drinking the wine, while talking to each-other for several hours. When 
the jug is empty, Kathryn is thanking her for the evening and saying goodnight 
to the girl. Nadria is standing up, looking strangely at Kathryn, who is facing 
her. 
" What is it Nadria "?
" I thought…" 
" What "? 
" That you would make love to me ".
(Cough) " Excuse me, we where going to do what "!?
" Make love ", Nadria replies, looking sad because she's afraid what would 
happen if Janeway turns her down.
" Did Lamro put you up to this "? 
" I do not know. A centurion gave me instructions. He said that you wanted a 
lover, for the night ".
Janeway doesn't know what to say or do. She knows how to fight the Borg, to 
handle Hirogen hunters that wants to play their hunting games, conflicts among 
her crew, but this. She hasn't got a clue. Dealing with Seven seems like nothing 
for the moment. Slowly she stands up, putting her hands on the girl's shoulders. 
Nadria is looking at her with tears in her eyes. 
" Nadria, understand what I'm saying to you. Are you listening "?, the girl 
nods. " Good, there is a man out there. My first officer, Chakotay. I love him, 
he loves me. My crew needs me. I don't know where they are, or if they are still 
Alive "!!!! "
I understand. But what's wrong with, having a lover "?, Nadria is asking Janeway 
with a forcing tone.
" Nothing. I guess… but I am not homosexual…" 
" Homo what "?, the girl is having a " what - are - you - talking - about ", 
look on her face. 
Kathryn is sighting heavy. Now she has to explain about different kinds of 
sexuality. She closes her eyes, Nadria is still looking at her with those sad 
eyes, waiting to hear " what - ever - that - is ", that Kathryn is going to say. 

" Nadria…", Kathryn begins, " Tell me are you sleeping with both sexes or just 
one "? 
" I have had sex with both, but I do not understand where you will come by 
asking me this "? 
" O´boy….. You better sit down ". 
Nadria is doing what shi is told to do. Quite she is sitting still, waiting. 
Kathryn is taking a final sigh before she begins. 
" Nadria…. The most usual kind of…. No, that's not a good way to start. There 
are three ways as I know it. Heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual "… 
" Yes ", Nadria replies, trying to understand what Kathy is trying to say. 
" Hetero is when a male and female are together. Bisexual is when a person likes 
both sexes, and homo or gay, is when someone prefer the same gender as them 
self. Do you understand "?
" I think so "
"… I´ll get right on it. Do you like having sex with men "?
" Yes! The thing they have between their legs (giggles), looks funny, but it 
feels good ".
" I see ", Kathryn smiles.
" Do you like it to "!?, Nadria wants to know. Facing Kathryn with big lively 
eyes.
" Yes…It's been a while "…Kathryn answers, trying not to blush, than she 
continues " Do you like having sex with women, like me "? 
" Oh yes! ", she answers with starring eyes.
" Judging by the way you react, when I asked you about the women. I guess you 
are bisexual ", Kathy explains
" Is that good or bad "?, the girl is asking with a worried tone on her voices. 
The situation is getting more difficult by the minute for poor Kathy, who feels 
a little uncomfortable talking about this. Even if she had a few discussions 
with Seven before, she still feels that this is not what she want to talk about. 
Specially not now. 
" I don't know what's best. I guess nothing is more right or wrong than the 
other ". The most important thing is that you are happy " … 
" So you will sleep with me "? 
" I am sorry ", says Kathryn. 
Nadria understands, she picks up the tray and the jug, than she is leaving in a 
hurry. Kathryn is leaning her head in her hands. This is getting worst by the 
minute. First she and her crew is being prisoners on a planet, with a crazy 
crimelord, probably some wacko that has escaped from a mental institution 
somewhere. Secondly she doesn't know where her crew is, are they still alive? 
Dead? How are their psychological health?, these questions or like them are 
going through Kathryn Janeways head. And the girl who wants to sleep with her. 
Why? 

G´ker is standing by one of the windows in his throne room - looking out over 
the city, when Nadria enters. When he sees her, he smiles and steps up to her. 
" Well ? How was it "?
" Fine milord ".
" Just fine? Was she not satisfied with the act "?
" There was no act milord ".
"She did not want to ".
" DID NOT WANT TO "?!!!!!!, G´ker roars. " Does she know that I can kill her 
crew in a snap "!?
" Yes milord ".
" What did you do during these hours "!!?, snarls the furious crimelord. 
" We talked. She explained about sexuality, about homosexual and…. Bisexual……Her 
crew ". 
" Explained about.. great. CENTURION "!!!!!!!!!!!!! A big man with a gold metal 
armor and a sword at his left side enters the room, and bows.
" Centurion. Make sure that Janeway understands ". 
" Yes ", the centurion is leaving. 
" Please do not hurt her ", Nadria cries. 
" I won't hurt her. I will make her understand what the Borgs standard phrase 
means " Resistance is futile "!!!!!!!!
A large centurion is entering Janeways room. He marches up to her, lifts her up 
so her feet no longer have any contact with the floor. He is holding her by the 
neck and squeezes.
" You will do what you are being told "!!!!!!!!
After he thrown her back on the bed, he gives her a hard box on the ear, which 
makes it ring inside Kathryn's head.
" The girl is coming in five minutes "!! " You know what happens if you refuse 
"!!! 
The centurion is leaving the room. Kathryn is shaking her head, trying to get 
rid of the bell that's ringing inside.. Five minutes later the girl is entering 
the room.  Neelix has his hands full. Never in his life has he disliked cooking. 
Now he hates it. The people around him are screaming and shouting. There are 
different types of savages here. Everybody is demanding and ordering food all 
the time. Sometimes they almost attack Neelix. Besides the centurions, 
bountyhunters from all over the territory, bandits and all kind of scum you 
could think of. there are also strippers and whores. Here there is no room for 
the usual babble Neelix is used to. Answer when you are spoken to, or be quiet. 
The place is " picked out of a monster movie ", with all that scary environments 
that goes with it. The talaxian is trying to share people up as a good 
moralofficer he is - or trying to be. A woman - a stripper and a whore is 
appreciating Neelix for his kindness. The owner never looks in Neelix direction, 
he just passing by. Jerzadri: the woman that is sitting and talking to Neelix 
after her show is laughing at Neelix funny stories, when a large fat man in a 
beard and a overall taps her on the shoulder. She turns around facing him. 
" I want you. How much "?, the fat man asks. 
" How much for how much "?, Jerzadi asks. 
" All of it ".
" For how long "?
" Till we are finished ", the man grunts. 
" Fine. Come along dear. I hope that you just got a large paycheck "!, she is 
leading the way towards the stairs on the other side of the large tree room. 
Neelix is looking after her, than he is shaking his head. 
" Poor girl ".

  Janeway is closing her eyes, she doesn't want to do this. But she has no 
choice, if she doesn't her crew will die. Nadria is letting her gown fall, she 
is completely naked infront of Kathryn. The girl kisses Janeway on the lips, she 
kisses back. Nadria helps Kathryn of with the red gown, than she is laying her 
down. Kissing her more and more intimate, doing so for about a half an hour. The 
girl slowly crawls down to Kathryn's breasts and begins to suck gently on the 
nipples. Janeway is after a few minutes starting to breathe heavily. Working her 
way down, Nadria is kissing the belly than the legs and finally the 
hypogastrium, till her partner starts to clatter. The more Kathryn is 
clattering, the more intense the girl is working with her tung,( while working, 
she injects a shot in to Kathryn ), until Kathryn is almost screaming when she 
comes. When Dunne, she kisses Kathryn again, than it's her turn. Kathy kisses 
the girl gently over her neck and breast while caressing her hypogastrium. The 
girl is twisting and turning when she comes. When finished, they are laying 
snuggling for a few hours. The next morning Janeway is standing on the balcony, 
admires the view of the city, when Nadria comes up to her. Janeway is looking at 
her, smiling. Nadria is putting her arms around Janeways waist.
" What are you thinking about "?
" I'm thinking about my crew. I'm worried about them. I don't even know if they 
are alive ". 
" I can try to find out if you like ".
" Will you "?, she continues, " It would mean allot to me "!
" I will try. I love you Kathy ". Janeway freezes, when she hears those words.
The girl kisses her, than she is leaving. Kathryn is remembering the last time 
Chakotay said the exact same words to her. It was two weeks ago in the 
turbo-lift, they where on their way to the mess-hall. Out to her comes Lamro 
G´ker. 
" Well "?, he asks.
" Well what "?, Kathryn asks back, irritated by him being there. 
" How was she "? 
" Don't you know "!? 
" Off course ". 
" Than why do you ask "?, she grunts. 
" Remember your crew ! The one with the pointed ears can be brain damaged any 
day ".
" What do you want "?, Janeway snarls. " I'm here, I've made love to the girl, 
even if it was nice I didn't want to "!!! 
She continues.
" Now when you had your demands through, maybe I can have mine"!!!!!!!!! 
" As you wish, tomorrow, high noon, the castlegardens ". 

The next day Janeway is standing in the garden of the castle. The garden is 
extremely beautiful, with many bushes, trees and exotic flowers. Dozen heavily 
armed centurions are standing around the area. From the gardengate comes Seven, 
Neelix, Paris, Kim, Tuvok and Bélanna. When they see Kathryn Janeway they smiles 
and takes a step forward, but are being held back by the centurianguards. 
Kathryn Smiles at them, she can see that they have taken a few punches. Some of 
them have been messed up quite a bit. She can't see Chakotay, she is facing 
Lamro. 
" Where is Chakotay "? 
" Who "? 
" My first officer "!, Kathryn yells.
" I don't know and I don't care. Now you've seen them. They are alive ".
   The Voyager crew is standing twenty meters away. They can see how worried 
their captain is. The centurions are aiming their weapons at the prisoners. A 
tear is falling from Janeways right eye, when Lamro G´ker makes a winking 
gesture to the centurions, to leave with the prisoners. The Voyager captain is 
beginning to feel panic and starting to run towards her crew. A centurion is 
hitting her with his riffle, making Janeway fall to the dirty ground. Nardria 
wants to run to her, but she knows that if she does, she will be killed. The 
Lord turns around, walking back to the throneroom. A centurion picks Janeway up 
and carries her over his shoulder to her room, followed by Nardria. Later 
Kathryn is lying on her bed, turning and twisting. The girl, Nadria, is trying 
to comfort her as well as she can. She is sitting on the bed next to Janeway, on 
her left side. 
" Kathy… come on… my love, please talk to me…" 
Kathryn is turning around so she can see the young beautiful girl's face. She 
sits up and pulls the girl tight. Holding her for a long time, not saying 
anything. When finally letting go, she is looking into Nadrias dark eyes.
" Do you know a way out of here, that is not guarded "? 
" Yes I think so…", Nadria answers. " But we have to do this at midnight ".
" At midnight ", says Janeway Kathryn kisses her on the cheek, the girl smiles.
After a while they lay down resting. 

The door to the prison cell where the Voyagercrew is sitting is opening. Four 
centurions are entering. One of them is grabbing Seven and drags her along. 
Bélanna is trying to stop them, but fails in the attempt. A centurion is pushing 
her so she falls backwards. Luckily her husband Tom Paris catches her in the 
last minute. The centurions are closing the door behind them. Torres is getting 
up, and rushes towards the door, hitting it. The instant second she's getting in 
contact with the door, she gets an electric chock - which throws her backwards.
" Bélanna "!!!!!  Tom is running up to her and is pulling her tightly, he is 
listening to her breath, and he can hardly feel it. 
Tears are coming down from his eyes as he is holding her loose body in his arms. 
SevenofNine is standing in front of Larno G´ker, who is studying her closely. 
Seven is facing the evil man that is leaning back in his seat, with hate in her 
eyes. After a while she speaks:
" Your attempt to hold control over these people will fail ". 
" You don't say "? the Lord is laughing out loud.
" I do say. You better stand down now, or be destroyed ". 
" And who is going to make me Stand Down ? YOU ? Or your captain JANEWAY perhaps 
"?
" Who it will be is irrelevant . That someone will, is ".
" If you tell me who that "someone " is, I promise you that I won't let anything 
happen to you ".
" I can not. I do not know who that might be ". 
(Smiling) " Come on now Borg, you better tell me something. If you do, I´ll let 
Voyager continue it's journey to the alphaquadrant. How's that? I can even let 
the people of this planet be free. I can leave this place with my centurions, if 
you just say who ". 
" I do not know who", Seven replies.
" Graaah!!!!!. Stupid Borg. What do you think about being treated the same way 
as the klingon "!!!!!!? 
Seven, looking as superior as always is sighting, before she is answering the 
lord's outbreak.
" Do what you must. But it will not change anything ". " Centurions, put her 
where you put the klingon the first time. Make sure that she, when your 
finished, never talks back to you "!! 
They are taking Seven away. Out from the throneroom, turning left down a long 
corridor with many large statues of gods and heroes. At the end of the corridor 
is an iron door. One of the centurions is opening it, than they are stepping 
inside. The centurions are surrounding her, forcing her into a corner. Some of 
them are taking their armors off. On of them grabs Sevens arms, holding them 
behind her back. Another tears her top uniform off, uncovers her breasts. When 
they are going to force her down on the floor, Seven becomes very angry. What 
the centurions doesn't know is that the sexy Borg once fought in a Sunkatse - 
ring, trained by a Hirogen hunter. They are having a hard time holding her. 
Seven screams, through her head back, crunches the nose of the centurion holding 
her. Getting loose, she gives the undressed centurion infront of her a kick in 
the balls, knocking him right out. The next one she kicks two times, one with a 
wheelkick aimed at his head, than a front kick making a bull's eye. The three 
centurions that are left are backing. Seeing the hate glowing in the female's 
eyes, they are starting to feel uncomfortable, no one has ever dared to fight 
back, at least not like this. Seeing red, Seven rushes towards them, hitting the 
closest one with a hard fist, making him fall heavy to the floor. Seven grabs 
the stick that the centurion held, swinging it around, falling out with an 
aggressive attack towards the next centurion, cutting a rip in his armor - 
wounding him. Outside a guard that is pasting hears the noises from the room at 
the end of the corridor, hurries to check what's going on. When entering, he can 
see the knocked off centurions, the two that are left and the Borg that is 
furious. Looking through the long hair, that is hanging infront of her eyes, 
SevenofNine is taking notice of the guard standing in the doorway. Seven is 
starting to run towards the guard, who quickly pulls his gun; wish is set on 
stun. He fires one shot at her, when she is rush towards him. The beam hits her 
just when she jumps up in the air with a kick. SevenofNine is pushed backwards 
by the beam, she falls back down on the floor. The guard is hailing two other 
centurions, to take the prisoner back to the others, Since the centurions lying 
on the floor cant. When the centurions are taking Seven back to the cell, the 
guard is bragging about how good he was, when the centurions got their ass 
kicked. The centurions are telling him to shut up, or they surely will kick his. 
When six or seven minutes has past, the door is opening to the cell where her 
friends are sitting. The brutal centurions are throwing Seven into the cell.
" Annika "!!!!, Bélanna cries out when rushing up to her.
" My name is SevenofNine "!, she snarls at her, while she is trying to get up.
The female half-breed is trying to help the ex. Borg up, but is pushed away 
instantly.
" Fine, have it your way "! (Mumbles ), "Bitch ".  
When Seven finally makes it up from the floor, she is walking over to them. 
Bélanna and Tom are sitting on the cells only bunk. Torres is leaning her head 
on Tom's shoulder, while Seven is standing up as usual and Tuvok is meditating. 
" How long are we going to sit here "?, grunts Bélanna.
" Until we are rescued, or we can escape ", Seven is commentating. 
" Until we are rescued, or we can escape ", Bélanna is mocking her.
" Okay you two, cut it out ! Why are you two always wrangling "!?, Tom commands.
" I'm tired. I've been raped, mocked, and now I have to listen to that stiff 
woman, who never cracks a smile "!!!!!!!
" I can smile ".
" Really Seven, tell me you're not joking. ´Cause I have never seen you smile 
once "!!!
" I have never smiled, because I have felt that it has not been needed. The 
assignments have been dune without smiling. But if you want me to smile, I am 
sure it can be arranged ". 
Tom is trying to calm his wife down, he knows that it's not always easy. But he 
tries. 
" I give up "!, Torres sighs. 
" Seven… can you try to open the door "?, Tom asks Seven. 
The sexy female Borg is facing Tom. 
" Well, there is a guard outside. The door is to heavy and if we touch it we 
will get a chock ".
" I see. Well how are getting out of here, if you can't move the door ", Torres 
is asking.
" Maybe I can help "; the voice comes from Tuvok that has just waken out from 
his meditation.
 The trio is turning around, for the first time since yesterday their security 
officer speaks. He steps up to them. 
" What are you planning "?, the vulcan is turning to Tom.
" We are talking about how we can get out of here ", Tom replies.
" I see. Where is the guard now "? 
" He is standing on the right side of the door, why "?, continues Paris.
Tuvok is walking up to the cell wall and putting his hands on it. The others 
seem confused. 
" What ARE you doing "!?, Bélanna asks Tuvok with allot of curiosity in her 
voice. 
" I am going to do a mind meld "… 
" With the wall "?, Torres continues his sentence. 
" No . With the centurion guarding the door, I have read about Spock, how he 
managed to do so when he and captain Kirk where prisoners once ". 
" What was the name on the ship Spock and Kirk where on "?, Paris wants to know.
" The Enterprise … Do you need the entire data as well "?, Tuvok answers. 
" Can you do it "?, Seven is wondering when she is coming closer to the others. 
" I do not know. I have to try. This will be different, Since the centurion is 
not in here ".
The vulcan is beginning, the others are standing watching. 

 About a dozin centurions are patrolling the gigantic cave, where many prisoners 
are being held. The prisoners are forced to work hard, and for many hours of the 
day. When protesting, they are often beaten or sometime, even killed. Chakotay 
is having a short break from his labor, he through his axe away, and goes to 
drink some water. Grabbing the cup, filling it with water from the well, and 
starts drinking. The water surly feels great, washing away all of that dust 
away. The following days Chakotay and K´thira have been talking more and more to 
each-other, and one day: Chakotay and K´thira are walking around counting 
guards, checking possible hiding places. Since they started to plan their 
escape, at least ten other prisoners had joined them. Late night they are 
preparing to leave. Two are going to make a diversion, while the others are 
going to find the way out. A Bagr - a lion liked beast, and a Luxferr - a very 
ugly creature who reminds of a combination between a wolverine and a badger, 
voluntaries and they are beginning to fight, making the centurions turn their 
attention towards them, so Chakotay, K´thira and the others can leave. They are 
hurrying away to find the way out, while their friends are fighting. Whispering 
to each-other:
" Are you sure where we are going K´thira "?
" Yes handsome, I am ". 
They are moving in the shadows, slowly towards a smaller cave on the south side. 
Climbing down the small precipice that leads to the place K´thira found some 
weeks ago. The second cave is higher in the ceiling than the main cave. From a 
few places in the ceiling the daylight is coming inside the cave, where they are 
standing. Chakotay is looking around the cave; he can see a hole in the cavewall 
about thirty meters up. He is turning around so he can see his female friend, 
and the followers.
" Are you ready to climb "? 
" Sure am Chakotay ". 
" And you guys. Are you ready as well "?
" WE ARE "!!, the followers answers. 
Before they start climbing, K´thira is kissing Chakotay-
" For good luck ", she says.
They are beginning to climb the mountains inner walls, to reach the safety 
outside. The climbing takes a long time, some needs extra help cause they to 
weak or they aren't good climbers. A Grood - a gigantic hairy creature with four 
arms is carrying two people at the same time he is climbing - one old woman and 
a sick boy. After two hours of intensive climbing they are reaching a small 
place, where they can rest for a short while. When they have finished their 
rest, they are beginning to climb down the mountain; the smallest and weakest 
first. 

Early Evening: A platoon of Centurions are patrolling the city. Marching in two 
lines, twenty in each, they are " making sure ", that the citizens knows their 
place. If someone shows any sign of discontent, they are being punished. The 
centurions are brutal and shows no mercy what so ever. When the people sees 
them, they are hurrying inside and locks the door. A woman in her mid forties 
doesn't take notice of them, when they are walking up her way. When she turns 
around, and sees the centurion commander, she becomes frightened of what will 
they do to her now. 
" What are you doing outside at this hour, woman "!?, the commanding centurion 
asks with a grunt.
" I…. I , I did not know the time ", the woman cries.
" Yeah, yeah, I've heard that before. Last time by a girl, very beautiful, named 
K´thira. We beat her up and arrested her ".
" K´thira is alive "?, the woman is asking the centurion.
" Probably not. Why "?, the commander asks. " Do you know that slut "? 
" She is not a slut. She is my daughter "!
" So the mother-bitch to the whore…..", the centurion smiles underneath his 
golden helmet.
The centurion commander is turning to his troop.
" Flogging or rape "? 
The woman starts to panic. When the centurions are grabbing hold of her, and 
forcing her to the ground, they don't take notice of the figure that is standing 
in the shadows close to them. Suddenly a laser beam is hitting one of the 
centurions, burning a hole through him. The other centurions are turning around. 
From the shadows a stranger comes out. Dressed in a cope that is covering the 
face and a phaser in his left hand. The centurions can see that the phaserpistol 
is the same as the others had. The new prisoners from the starship above them in 
orbit. The stranger speaks.
" Leave the woman alone…"
" I don't think so "! the centurion commander snarls. 
" I do think so! Let her go or you'll die ". 
After a few seconds the centurions are letting the woman go. She rushes into her 
home, where it is safe. The stranger is still aiming the weapon at them. 
" Drop the weapons you have, or I will kill you where you stand ", the stranger 
says calmly. 
" Good boys, everything "! 
When they have dropped their weapons, and taken of their armors, the stranger is 
letting them go. Full of shame, the undressed centurions are rushing away from 
the neighborhood. The people living there, are coming out, laughing, some are 
throughing stones, canes and other things after them. When they can't see the 
half-naked centurions anymore, they are thanking the stranger; some are even 
hugging him 
" People listen. This may sound strange to you. But the crew of Voyager did not 
abandon you! They really came to help you "!! 
" How can you be sure "!?, a young man is asking.
" I know, because I've Dunne some research, and it is not true that they turned 
their backs at you. They where framed as well "!!
Other people begin to ask more and more questions.
" I'm not sure, where to go for the moment…. But give me some time Ill think of 
something "! 
" We must rescue them "!, a woman calls out. 
" I agree ", the stranger says. " But we need a plan "…  

G´ker is sitting in his office, in one of the towers of the castle, he is 
thinking about a way to break Kathryn Janeway, when there's a hail coming 
through the computer. He turns the channel open; there he can see a fellow 
crimelord from another system. The man on the screen is very fat, has almost no 
hair, and is dressed like an Eskimo, except that his clothes are not stuffed. 
" Hark? What a surprise "! 
" Yeah, sure "! 
" I mean it. How's things "? 
" Not so good. "
" What seems to be the problem, dear friend "?
" I had to get rid of my last mistress. She started to become irritating. Asking 
to many questions. She didn't want to do her services anymore. Do you understand 
my problem "?
" Better than anyone … Maybe I have something that you might like "…
" I was going to ask you Just that! … Do you have someone special "? 
" Off course my friend. You'll love her. She is great. I promise you "! 
" How much "? Hark wants to know. 
" Oh for a old friend…(mumbles), enemy…. Lets say hundred….". 
" HUNDRED? Are you going to ruin me!!? I thought we where friends "!!!!
" We are…(mumbles again), not…. (Smiles), I sure you, she's worth the price "!
" What's her name "? " Kathryn Janeway ".  ----
At the same time; Janeway is getting up. She takes a look at the girl snoozing 
in the bed, than she shakes her head and steps outside. She is standing in a 
corridor, wish reaches both ways. She decides that she will start with the left 
side. Slowly she moving forward, staying as close to the wall as possible, 
trying to avoid being spotted by any guards patrolling. When she makes it to the 
next corridor, she feels that its wrong leaving the poor girl there alone. She 
hurries back, wakes her up and drags her along. Still groggy after being ripped 
of her sleep, Nadria is running behind Kathryn. When they makes it to the next 
corridor, and still no sign of centurion guards, Janeway asks Nadria wish way to 
go. The girl points at the right direction, at a door at the end of the 
corridor. Lucky for them it is only fifteen yards to the door. They begin to 
run. When reaching the door, they notice that it is locked. Kathryn is trying to 
push the door up but fails. Than she is trying to kick the door up, after a few 
tries she makes it. The two females are running down the stairs to the backyard. 
At the same time the cruel Lord is turning his attention towards the monitors on 
the wall in front of him. He can see the women trying to escape. 
" Impressive…. My friend forgive me, something came up here. I have to get back 
to you ". 
G´ker is pressing a button on the screen top. The button activates the alarm. 
The centurions are instantly informed where to go. When Janeway and Nadria makes 
it outside, they are already surrounded by the centurions. Their golden armors 
are shinning in the moonlight. Nadria is holding Kathryn's hand hard. Kathryn 
can't believe that this is happening. A centurion is stopping the only escape 
route, the way they came. He hits Janeway with the riffle, knocking her out. 
Nadria is watching with horror in her eyes, when Janeway hits the ground. G´ker 
is coming out from the building, seeing the captain lying there and the girl 
sitting next to her on the knees. The Lord is facing her. She looks up. 
" Subcommander, take Janeway to the dungeons, bring the other crewmembers as 
well. When you've killed them, destroy the ship. I´ll take care of Nadria ".
The subcommander obey's the order.  Meanwhile, Chakotay and K´thira have almost 
finished their climb. A few more minutes and they are at the edge of the cave. 
Chakotay crawls over the edge, than he helps his friends. They take a few 
minutes to catch their breaths before they continue. Carefully they are moving 
down the mountain, helping each-other when needed. They can see a village about 
ten kilometers infront of them. Chakotay is asking one of his fellow escapers 
about the village. 
" Do you know what village that is "? 
" Yes I do. Hopefully they will let us rest there for the night ", a young man 
answers.
" Hopefully "?, the commander is looking at him.
" Em… They will help, but they are not to friendly to strangers. Suspicious 
people yea know ".
After an hour they have reached the bottom of the mountain and are beginning to 
walk towards the village.   Pasting trough the Forrest, they can see many 
different animals, like different kinds of reptiles, cat - liked beasts and what 
-is - that - liked animals. When pastinng the Forrest - taking them approx a half 
an hour, they have reached the outskirts of the village. Here lives about one 
hundred people. With Chakotay up front, they are walking into the village. The 
people living there are starring at them. A man in his mid sixties, with a long 
beard, ice-cold eyes, walks up to them.
" May I ask who you are, and what you are doing here "? 
" I'm Chakotay. I have, together with the others here, escaped from the cave in 
the mountain over there. Now we are looking for someone who can help us rescue 
my crew, the captain and save the people of this planet from the Lord. Do you 
know somebody who might be able to help us "?
The man, who goes under the name of Katr is looking at the group that is 
standing in front of him. He agrees on helping them, but he doesn't want to talk 
out in the open, so; commander Chakotay and the other refugees are following 
Katr to a pub, the only dinning place they have. The pub is big enough to take 
fifthly guest at the time. Some of the refugees along with Chakotay thinks the 
place seems cozy. Many tables, chairs and sofas can be seen all over the place, 
and a stair that leads to the next floor. In the center of the pub, is the 
owners working-spot, where he is serving drinks for the thirsty once. On the 
left side of the working spot is a door that leads to the kitchen. The owner of 
the place is coming up to them, giving them all a friendly big hug and welcoming 
them. They are sitting down at a large wooden table in the right upper corner. 
Jud - the owner; is putting a tray on the table with some-kind of beer in clay 
jugs. Katr is starting to talk.
" So Chakotay that was that! Can you be so kind to fill me in here. What's going 
on "?, Katr asks.
" Well, you see we answered a hail from a freight-loader some weeks ago. Than 
there was a misunderstanding I guess, since we where framed, accused for 
something's we didn't commit ", the commander answers.
" I'm sorry. It's… The timing couldn't be worst ".
" I am not following… ". 
" You see the Lord, I know who he is. He is an Argonian, which refused to obey 
the Empress wishes. His Master, a man with allot of power and influence in the 
argonian society, told him that either he do what he is being told or he can 
leave Argonia ". 
" What happened "?, one of the females wants to know. 
" The argonian almost killed his Master, than he escaped. Harzadia - the Empress 
want's him back D.O.A ".
" D O A "?, a man in a trench-coat an a ponytail is asking, wondering what that 
means. 
" Dead or Alive ", says Chakotay, while still listening intensive to the story 
that Katr is telling. 
" Don't you know anyone that can help us "? 
Into the pub enters a man, dressed in a black military uniform, on his right arm 
is an emblem: a tri- angular shaped figure with two stripes though it. He sits 
down at the other side of the pub, waiting for the waiter. Chakotay is turning 
his attention away from the others, to the young man that just entered. The 
young man looks up, facing him, than he turns his head down. From the kitchen 
comes the waiter. He walks up to the youngster and asks him what he wants to 
eat. The waiter is beginning to talk to the young man, he talks and talks and 
making the guest more and more irritated. Chakotay is turning his attention once 
again towards the table in the other corner. He can see the youngster - who 
looks like he is going to explode any second, than he can see the waiter, when 
standing in another position so the lights hits his face, that it's someone he 
knows.
" Neelix "!? 
Neelix turns his head. Seeing the commander, he becomes so happy that he's 
completely forgets about his customer, and marches up to Chakotay. They hug 
each-other.
" Neelix, what are you doing here "!!?
" I'm cooking like always. But I would prefer the kitchen on Voyager ".
" Do you know each-other "?, the owner asks, with a confused expression on his 
face. 
" You could say that ! Neelix is the cook and moral-officer onboard Voyager ", 
the commander explains.
" Forgive Me Neelix, good people are hard to find. ", the owner says with a 
small touch of shame in his voice. 
" It's okay ", Neelix says with a smile that reaches almost up to his ear-tips.
Meanwhile the man at the other table is getting angry; he stands up, pounding 
his right fist on the table. He steps up to the others, a grab Neelix shoulder 
and turns him around.
" Hey you little rodent, why are you ignoring Me? You keep babbling about 
nothing, than you leave without taking My order "!!!!!!!!
" Forgive me, this is a friend of mine ", the talaxian explains. 
" I do not care if he where my own brother, when I want something, I want it now 
"!!!!! "
Wow, take it easy. Why are you so angry? He just wanted to say hallo. And who 
are you anyway "?, the commander asks. 
" I am Voyagers last hope"!, the young man says like someone that knows what 
He's talking about.
After several minutes of intensive arguments about who the man is and how he 
could be Voyagers last hope, he is asked to sit down at their table. Katr orders 
a new round of that beer - liked drink to everybody. Chakotay is turning his 
attention to the man sitting in front of him.
" So Fabvl, can you take this from the beginning, calmly ", Chakotay asks.
" Yes. I am Fabvl Zarbo, heir to the throne of Cortilia. My brother Xiander and 
I had a great fight after our father died. It ended when I left in anger, and I 
haven't turned back yet. So now he is king, and I am a renegade of some kind ". 
" But I'm not following… you and your brother had a fight, I can understand 
that…. But it must be more than just the heir issue…", 
Chakotay continues. 
" You are right commander of Voyager, it is much more. On Cortilia there is a 
reptilian race called Whelons…"
" Whelons "?, asks Neelix. 
" Yes. The whelon-leader has for many years tried to make the king, our father 
step down. Everyone knows if this is to be hell will break loose on my planet. 
It will be a paradise for every scum in the galaxy. I really hope that my 
brother knows what he is doing ". 
" I'm sure he is ", Kat says comfortably. " Anyway…. But the wholeness is not 
the main problem. It is the "The Lord ", as you know him, he is Argonian. The 
Empress, Harzadia, has put a price on his head that is so high, no one can 
refuse ".
" I see…. Forgive me for asking, but how can you help us rescuing our captain 
and crew "?, Chakotay wants to know. 
" My guards. The black armored men outside, they have been snooping around 
nighttime, finding " holes " that we can use. Allot of people here has joined 
us, to fight back, as soon as I give the word ".
" Lets bring this argonian to justice "!!, Neelix cries out, pounding his fist 
in the table.

Tuvok is pressing his fingertips to the wall near the door. He hums and mumbles 
while he is trying to reach the centurion outside. After a while the vulcan is 
reaching the guard's mind. Controlling it to order the body to open the door to 
the cell. The centurian-guard is shaking his head, trying to get rid of the 
voice in his head. Tuvok fails when another centurion is calling for the guard 
outside. Tuvok is facing his crewmates. They can hear the centurions talking 
outside.
" How's it going "? 
" Fine sir, I felt something strange just before you came. It was like I heard a 
voice in my head ". 
" A voice in your head? You have worked alone to long, lieutenant ". 
" Yes sir, maybe I have. But I like it this way ". 
" You can leave now ", the senior centurion orders.
" HELP, PLEASE HELP ME "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, a female voice screams from 
within the cell that the new centurion is guarding.
The centurion opens the door and steps inside. On the floor lies Bélanna holding 
her hands around her stomach, twisting and turning. The new guard is hurrying up 
to her. From behind, Tom Paris and Tuvok are attacking him, the helmet rolls 
away when the guard is forced to the floor. A few hard punches from Paris knocks 
the guard right out. Twenty minutes later; Seven, Tuvok and Bélanna are walking 
out from the cell. They have energy binders on their wrists. After them comes 
the centurion, holding his riffle in both hands. They are walking down the 
corridor towards the stairs that leads to the first level. Some centurions are 
pasting them. They are walking over the hall of the castle, on their left side 
they can see the gates, on the right side a stair to the next floor.
" This is never going to work "! Bélanna is grunting.
" Sure it will, where is your positive thinking "?, Tom says under the helmet.
A centurion is coming their way. Tom is calling for him. The centurion is 
walking up to him. 
" Sir "?
" Our lord wants to speak to Janeway. Bring her here "!, Tom orders. 
" Is it time for the heavenly rest for the criminals, sir "?
" Em… Yes, bring her to that small room straight ahead. Have her there in five 
". 
The centurion is looking at the little door that Tom is pointing at.
" Sir. Do you really want me to bring her in there? That is just a storeroom "!
" Are you questioning my orders "?, Paris roars underneath the helmet. 
  " Off course not sir, forgive me. I get her right away "! 
" Hurry. I would hate to put you on rapport. The Lord doesn't like delays 
"!!!!!!!!! 
The centurion is rushing away, to complete his task. The Federation-crew is 
entering the small room. When the door is shut, Tom takes of his helmet. He 
starts to babble how well everything went, and that he played his part perfect. 
Torres thinks he is silly and Seven agrees. 
" Finally something you and I agree on "!, the chief engineer smiles at Seven. 
" Yes, finally ", she replies with a small movement on her lips.
" Seven, I'm sorry for calling you a bitch ", Torres says, at the same time the 
two women shakes hands.
Meanwhile the young centurion is near the cell where captain Janeway is being 
held. She is chained to the wall in this dungeon somewhere underneath the 
castle, with only a small window, lightning up the cell. Kathryn is hanging her 
head down, she barely manage to hold it up. Her body is throbbing after the rape 
and the beating; she had about half an hour ago. All this she had to put up 
with, because she would not cooperate with the evil G´kler. The door opens hard, 
than the centurion is clumping inside. He pulls a key of some-kind from his 
belt. Unlocking the chains, making the woman fall to the hard ground, into the 
water that is under her in the lower part of the floor. The centurion is picking 
her up, and carries her over his shoulder. Three minutes later he comes walking 
towards our friends in the storage room. After he has dropped the captain on the 
floor, Seven makes a move for the captain but are stopped by Tom's arm. Tuvok is 
moving behind the centurion. Tom is facing the young man standing in front of 
him.
" Take of your helmet, and give it to me ", he orders.
The young man takes off the helmet, not understanding why. Tom gives the helmet 
to Bélanna. At the same time Tuvok is giving the centurion the vulcan 
nerve-pinch, making him past out.
" Good work commander ", smiles Tom.
" Off course ", the vulcan commander replies. 
When they have taken care of the guard, they are turning their attention to 
their captain, who is beginning to catch her breath. She is slowly reaching for 
the riffle that the centurion had. She is leaning on the riffle for the support 
to stand, than Kathryn Janeway turns to her bridge-crew. 
" Get out of here. Find the others…. When you've found Chakotay, get back to 
Voyager. No protests "!  
Leaving their captain behind, they are hurrying out of the storeroom. 

 
Kathryn Janeway is waiting until she can't see them any more, than she leaves 
the room and heads up the large stairs to the upper level. Standing at the edge 
of the stairs, Janeway is turning her head left and right, making sure that no 
one is coming. After thinking for a few seconds, she is heading right down the 
corridor. The pulse is beating faster and faster, the breathing becomes heavier. 
Many things are spinning around in Janeways head as she turns left and into 
another corridor. Holding the riffle, ready to fire, she is hurrying forward 
towards a door in front of her. Kathryn grabs the handle and pulls the door 
open, and enters. Inside she can see reflections from two centurions standing in 
a small light spot, coming from a spotlight, which is attached to the wall 
beside them. Between them she can see the girl, they are putting on a chains 
around her neck, wrists and ankles. Slowly aiming at the cantinas from the 
shadows she is standing in, she takes a deep breath and steady she pulls the 
trigger. Six bullets are flying away from the riffle, seeking their way towards 
their targets. She is rushing into the other section where Nadria is; she 
searches the centurions for the keys to the girls chains. After releasing her, 
Janeway takes her hand and they are leaving. 
" I am so glad to see you, but why did you come back "?
" I just couldn't let you stay in this place. My crew is free, now we have to 
get out of here faster than a photon torpedo "! 
" A photon… what "?
" Never mind "!
Together they are moving as fast as they can out of the room and back the same 
way as Janeway came. Down the stairs. When they are almost down, the Lord is 
coming from the left, together with a fat man. When they see each other, the 
Lord and Janeway, they freeze. The fat man, Hark is viewing the women from where 
he is standing. Nadria is taking a step behind Kathryn Janeway, trying to hide 
as much as possible.
" I'm taking her away from here ", the Voyager captain is saying with a " I'm - 
telling - you ", tone. 
" Yes, I can see that ", the argonian is grunting.
" No protests "?, Janeway asks. 
" No, not for the moment anyway, Since you've got the gun ". 
" Who is this female "!!?, the fat man is asking G´Ker.
" This is the woman I told you about. But it seems that she is leaving us ", 
Namro G´Kler is saying with an " I - don't - care " attitude. 
 Kathryn Janeway and Nadria are pasting the ruthless Lord and his fat friend. 
Pointing the riffle at them the entire time, Kathryn is slowly walking 
backwards, keeping an eye on them. The girl is opening the door and they are 
stepping outside. When the door closes G´Kers guest is facing him. 
" Are you just going to let her go "!?, Hark cries out.
" Off course not, you lame head !….. When someone points a weapon at you, you do 
what that person tells you "!!!
" What are you going to do "?
" Find the crew, destroy Voyager ",  G´ker is speaking into his wrist com - 
link, that he has on his left wrist. 
" That doesn't sound like Vadrian ", the fat man says with a suspicion in his 
voice.  
" No its not. I'm not from this system ", he continues on the COM - link. " When 
you are finished, bring Janeway to me "!!!
Nemron G´Kler is turning, facing the fat man that is looking confused. Namro is 
ripping of the mask that he is wearing, uncovers the yellow eyes, the face with 
many scars. The ears are pointy with allot of small spike - liked bones along 
the lobes, and finally a mouth full off sharp fangs. The fat man takes some 
steps back, when he sees the face of his so-called friend. The argonian takes of 
his left glove; than with allot of power he lifts the 150 - kg guest of the 
floor. The bones in the neck breaks when the strong hand with the long claws are 
squeezing it. When dropped the dead body, the argonian is walking away laughing. 
Outside Tom and the others are taking cover behind a wall, when he sees their 
captain and the girl he yells at her.
"Hey, Captain, over here "!!!!! Kathryn and Nadria are taking cover behind the 
wall as well.
They are all happy to see each other. Over their heads are divisions of fighters 
flying. Going directly to the city, it want be long until they are there. 
" I think it's time to find Chakotay and stop this madness, before we can't 
handle it. Lets go "! , Janeway orders.
They are leaving as fast as they can. Headed down towards the city, to find the 
others. Janeway complaines about running in the gown she is wearing, but she is 
doning fine.

At the same time Chakotay and his resistance-group are moving away from the pub, 
making their way up the nearest alley towards the center parts of the city. When 
the people sees the group, they quickly joins them. Taking cover behind a great 
statue, the Indian is taking a peak, checking the area in front of them out. He 
can see the Parliament, with its many pillars and golden-globes on the top of 
the roof. He can also see some cafés, stores and the station on the right. A 
noise of engines can be heard, becoming louder every second. After about a 
minute later, a vehicle is pasting some twenty meters away. Chakotay is facing 
K´tirha, who is pointing at two dozen centurions coming their way. 
" Now what "?, she asks him. 
" We can't sit here, the centurions will find us soon… than the fun will be over 
", the commander continues. 
" Hell will break loose anyway, so I hope that you are all ready for this. If we 
are going to make it, we have to give everything. Both for Axian and Voyager ". 
The centurions are pasting, not taking notice of them. Neelix is looking over 
the edge of the statue; he can see five known persons and one unknown near the 
Parliament. He calls the commander. 
" Commander Chakotay, look over there at the Parliament "! 
" What Neelix "? 
" It's captain Janeway, Tuvok, Seven, Tom, Bélanna, Harry and someone I don't 
know "!!!!! 
They are all trying to make their friends notice them, after a while they make 
it. Janeway and the others are running through the open area towards the others 
behind the statue.
" Good to see you again captain ", says Chakotay with a smile on his face.
" Likewise commander ". 
" This is Fabvl Zarbo, prins of Cortilia, and his guards "; commander Chakotay 
introduces the prince to Janeway. 
" Your highness ", Kathryn says politely. 
" Forgive me for asking, but are they any good "?, she is pointing at the 
black-armored guards. 
" Captain, they are the best in the quadrant. Unfortunately we are only twelve, 
the rest is still on Cortilia ".
" The rest "?, Kathryn Janeway is asking, with a wrinkled forehead.
" Yes. Xiander, My twin brother, the king, has taken over after our father died. 
My brother and I had a great fight and "…… 
" I see. Well we welcome any help we can get. You got Ammo "?, Janeway is asking 
the Prince.
" Do not worry. There are plenty in these babies ", a guard is laughing, showing 
his heavy two - piped riffle.
The guard is walking up to Seven; he checks her out, head to toe, than he gives 
her the weapon. Seven is looking at Janeway with a confused look on her face. 
The commander is encourages the sexy Borg to take the weapon. SevenofNine is 
looking at the heavy gun she is holding, than she is looking at Janeway and back 
at the weapon.
" Resistance is after all futile ". 
" You are correct Seven ", says Kim. 
" Off course I am ", she is sounding superior. 

When another patrol of centurions are pasting. Anyone in the group behind the 
statue, who is having a riffle or phaser are standing up fast and starts to 
shoot at the golden enemy . The centurions are falling like cones on a 
bowling-course. The people of the planet are teaming up all over the city, and 
starting to fight back. They are slowly making their way forward. Even if it 
will be many casualties, they think it'll be worth it, to be free. The battle is 
long and messy, after a few hours the people are forcing the centurions back. 
Planet Argonia, a planet far different than any other planet in this galaxy. 
Mostly mountains and deep valleys, the planet seems like a place no one would or 
could live, or want to live. Here live the argonians, a very powerful race, 
mostly known for their cruel to other species. They are a warriors and very 
proud. Legends say:
" That a female-child will tame the beast of Xerdridion, and becomes the ruler 
of the planet ".
For over three millennia, they have waited, until this girl came. She was an 
explorer. Her name is: Harzadia. 
A messenger is running up the mountain Xerdridion, to the enormous cave where 
the Empress castle is. It is a tiered messenger that is taking a breath outside 
the castles entrance. Two centurions are blocking the entrance with their sharp 
spears. 
" Hold it, what do you want insect "?, one of the centurions is asking. 
" I have a message for Harzadia, the Empress ", the messenger says polite. 
One of the centurions is escorting the messenger to the main cave, where the 
Empress is waiting. The little man that has almost cached his breath is looking 
around in the cave. He can see several tunnels, hear sounds he never heard 
before. In the center of the gigantic cave, on a throne made of different 
animal's skeletons, is the Empress Harzadia sitting. In her lapp, she has her 
pets' head. The pet is a twelve-meter long dragon, which has crawled up beside 
her. She is scratching it behind its right ear, while it's snoozing comfortably. 
The Empress is a beautiful, tall, muscular and big dark eyes that could make any 
man meld. She is dressed in a long black gown, and is wearing a harnesk with 
shoulder-pads that has sharp bone spikes attached in them. The messenger is 
bowing, showing his respect to the argonian ruler. When the Empress is telling 
him, he is standing up. 
" What do you want "?, the Empress is asking him. 
" I have information about Lédor Vdardia ".
" Lédor ? " , Harzadia is almost standing up . " He´s gone "?
" Nobody knows why he left ".
" I know what he has Dunne "……., the Empress voice sounds dark.
The messenger is taking a few steps back, he feels a little uncomfortable, 
standing in front of the Empress, especially when the dragon is there. Harzadia 
is ordering the Centurions to find the traitor.
" He is on Axian II. He has taken prisoners. He is now a warlord ", says the 
messenger.
" Graaaahr !!!! Warlord! That little worm, he is nothing "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The messenger continues.
" Lédor goes under the name Lamro G´Ker, now ". 
The Empress is standing up, the dragon grunts a little, and goes back to sleep, 
walks down to the messenger. She is facing the subcommander, which is standing 
at the cave entrance. The subcommander is stepping up to her.
" Subcommander, get Me Brédor and his best apprentice ". 
" Yes, My Empress ". 
Ten minutes later, a mid aged man, dressed in a dark military - liked uniform, 
is entering the cave. Along with him, a young man in his late twenties. They are 
both bowing to the Empress. Brédor is taking two steps towards Harzadia. 
Standing straight, his head high and his arms along the sides, he is waiting for 
his orders. Harzadia is facing the messenger that is still waiting.
" Tell Brédor and his apprentice what you told me ", the Empress commands. 
After Brédor has heard what the messenger had to say, he is facing his 
apprentice, the young Kádor.
" Are you ready, Kádor "?
The young man is answering his Master with a small nod. Brédor is turning his 
attention back to Harzadia. 
" When are we leaving"?  
" Now, I'm coming to ", the Empress replies.
One hour later, the Royal-flagship is leaving Argonia, destination: Axian II.

A division of small battleships are coming over the cites eastern outskirts, 
moving fast towards the center parts of the city. K´thira is taking Nadrias hand 
when the group is moving away from the statue, to a new hiding place in an alley 
ten meters away. Over some rooftops are the several battleships coming in fast, 
they are firing rapidly at the plaza. The ships are splitting up, two by two and 
they are attacking the citizens hard. Buildings are being destroyed, people not 
making it to safety are being massacred. The cortilian guards are firing at the 
enemy attackers, but they are to fast. Four centurion patrols are marching into 
the city, from the castle. They are walking in one long line; some of them are 
making sure that no one attacks from the sides. Janeway is closing her eyes, 
praying. Fabvl is crawling up to her. 
" Captain. What are we going to do now "? 
" I don't know your highness. If we go out there, we'll be killed for sure. But 
if we are staying here, we will to ".
" So we are in a no win situation then "… 
" Well I tell you this much, it doesn't look good ".
A centurion is entering the alley, searching for hiding civilians. In the 
shadows are Janeway, her crew, the king and his soldiers waiting. Zarbo is 
picking up a large rock and troughs it at the centurion, who falls hard to the 
ground. Fast the prins is running up to the centurion, rips his helmet of, and 
breaks his neck. Seven seems impressed. Everywhere they can hear the 
attack-ships roar, people screaming. Fabvl is taking the dead centurions weapon, 
than he is looking out from the alley. He can see eight centurions standing a 
few yards away. He is waving to the others to come as well. Chakotay is the 
first one that is coming up to him. 
" Funny, I never thought that I would die like this ", Chakotay says ironically 
to Fabvl. 
" You are not going to die here old man "! 
" Old man, I haven't heard that one before "! 
" Guards, come "!! 
" Yes, your highness "
" To get out of here, we have to take care of the centurions over there. Guards 
can you take care of them "?
" Off course your highness, Chakotay please, stand aside.
" I hope you know what you're doing, soldier ", says Chakotay with concern in 
his voice. 
The guard is aiming his riffle at the centurions, than he is taking a deep 
breath underneath his black and heavy helmet, than he is pulling the trigger. 
The centurions are being slaughtered. This is something that Janeway never 
wanted her crew or anyone to have to experience. The slaughter, is brutal, 
everywhere around her, people are falling, left and right. The only different 
from a few weeks ago, a few days ago, is that now the centurions are getting 
their buts kicked. 
Lédor ( G´Ker ), is sitting on his throne. One of his advisors is entering. He 
has a message to his Master. Carefully he is walking up to him.
" Master, I have a message from the Empress ". 
" A message you say "?
" Yes. The Empress is coming here, with a man that you know ". 
" Some one that I know…. Who can that be "?
" One of them is a young man named Kádor ".
" Kádor? … Never heard of him ".
" The other is well known. His name is Brédor Vadra ".
" BRÈDOR VADRA "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?, Lédor roars out.
 Lédor is pounding his fist on the arm of the throne, than he is ripping his 
claws trough the soft stuffing. Full of rage, he is leaving the throneroom and 
is heading out the backdoor. Pasting through the tones of junk that has been 
left behind for over a century ago, the argonian is making his way to the small 
door at the other end. Brédor is one of the reasons Lédor left. They could never 
find a way to settle their differences. Now He is coming here, that can only 
make things He is turning on the engines worth, except for the Empress - 
Harzadia. Lédor knows that if His plan is going to come through, the humans must 
die.
" The Voyager: Must be destroyed now, or My life is in deep trouble ", Lédor 
mumbles when he is hurrying down the small stairs to the basement. 
There he is opening a door to a small room. Inside there are many riffles and 
sticks lying on shelves. He grabs a riffle, than he is hurrying into another 
room, where he picks up some explosives. Afterwards the argonian is running to 
his ship that is waiting for him in the backyard. 

At the same time the humans along with the axians are fighting as bravely as 
they can. It's not easy when you are outnumbered. When the situation seems like 
it can't be any better, it looks like it's going to be worth. A gigantic shadow 
is swooping over the city. Janeway is checking her phaser: empty. She is 
checking the others as well; they are almost on empty to. Kathryn is turning to 
Chakotay.
" Well My Indian friend… It looks like our journey ends here ".
 " Yes it looks like it. Now they have more back up as well, look ", Chakotay is 
pointing at the ship above them.
" My God, it's six times big as Voyager "!!!!!, Janeway cries out.
 " Who can that be, who comes in something like that "!?, Tom asks. 
" The Empress ", Zarbo tells him.
The enormous six - edged ship with its mighty wings, is slowly lowering towards 
the service. When landing, a door slides open at the right side, and a ramp is 
lowering. Out comes a dozen jade-colored centurions after them, comes the 
Empress followed by ten centurions. Janeway is watching with terror in her eyes, 
what - looks like the end of their existence. The golden centurions are joining 
the Empress. Nadria is taking a peak to see what is going on, followed by 
K´thira. They are observing what is happening. They can see that the Empress is 
talking to a man in a brown/ green cope, behind him is a younger man standing. 
They all can see the man in the cope ordering the centurions to search for 
someone. Zarbo is walking out from their hiding pace; Janeway and Paris are 
trying to stop him.
" Do not worry, I know her. Well my brother knows her ".
" Do you think that'll be enough "?, Tom is asking him. 
" I hope so ". 
Slowly the prince is moving away from the hideout, out to the unsafe terrain, 
where he can be killed in a blink of an eye. The centurions are reacting 
quickly, and are aiming at him. The Empress is ordering them not to fire. Fabvl 
is closing in on them; his heart is pounding faster than ever before. He knows 
that he can't let the enemy see that. He takes a deep breath, and steps up to 
Harzadia.
" It's been a long time, Zarbo ".
" It sure has Harzadia. Four years if I remember it correctly ". 
" You are ", her eyes are starring at him, " How´s Xiander "? 
" He is king now. You're ex. Boyfriend is a king ".
" We did have some good times he and I ".
" Yes, you did. You two almost gave father a heart attack "!!
" Enough good memories for now. Where is He "!? 
" I do not know ".
" This is Brédor and his apprentice Kádor. They are going to " Catch the mouse 
", if you know what I'm talking about ".
Janeway is getting restless; she is standing up and is starting to walk up to 
the prins and the Empress. The centurions and Harzadia are looking strangely at 
her, when she is standing beside Fabvl Zarbo. 
" Captain Kathryn Janeway of the "… 
" I know who you are human ".
" Than what are you going to do "?
" Human, Kathryn Janeway of USS Voyager, entrepid-class from Earth in the Alpha 
Quadrant, you better stay out of this. Go back to your ship. I´ll make sure you 
and your crew will get there in peace ".
" You don't understand "! Kathryn interrupts 
" You don't understand. This is argonian business, leave now or I'll change My 
mind and kill you where you stand "!!!!!!!!  " " You better do what she says, 
this is going to be messy ", Fabvl tells her gently.
" Messy or not, I'm staying. "!, Janeway is stubborn as always. 
" HUMAN "… 
" That bastard has tortured my crew, beat them up real bad, raped them, forced 
them and myself to have sex with the same sex. He has terrorized these people 
for I don't know how long. I am tiered of him, you, and everything. I'm going to 
get him, with you, or without you, Empress "!
 Fabvl Zarbo is taking his left hands over his forehead, and sighs. Brédor is 
facing his apprentice, who is smiling. No one has ever dared " talking back ", 
to the Empress before. They are both impressed, so is Harzadia, but she doesn't 
show it. When the situation seem to be under no immediate danger, the Starfleet 
crew, the guards and the girls, are marching up to their captain. 
" Do you know how sweet you look when you are angry, human Janeway of Voyager "? 

" So what's going on "? the commander is asking, checking the Empress out.

Lédor is sitting down in the cockpit of his vessel. He is checking the systems, 
turning on the engines they doesn't seem to work. When a couple of centurions 
are coming his way, he is pushing a small tri - angular button just above the 
navo - computer on his left side. Two heavy auto-guns are lowering from the 
vessels under hull. The centurions are shot down, instantly. The sound of the 
guns echoes between the buildings. Harzadia is ordering two dozen centurions to 
investigate. Nadria takes Kathryns hand and holding it tightly. It takes just a 
few minutes for the centurions to find the vessel, and Lédor. The argonian 
traitor is taking a gun from the ship, and starts to run as fast as he can. But 
it is pointless to run, when you have a hundred heavy armed centurions after 
you. Lédor is taking left at a street corner, running into a centurion who gives 
him a hard punch over the cheek, knocking him out. When he awakes he is chained 
to the same wall as Kathryn was. Infront of him is the Empress; she is very 
disappointed, behind her are Brédor and Kádor standing. They are talking in 
their own language. - - - - 
- - - - - - " Lédor,why did you leave AArgonia "!!!!!?, Empress Harzadia begins. 
" I left, because no one listened to me. You only listened to Brédor "!
" Lédor. Is he the reason you have dune all this "?
" Yes. Partly. I have always tried hard to be a member of the council ".
" You should die, but that solves nothing "!! The Empress continues after a 
short pause. " You will work for ten years at the colony, on Argonia " 
" No "!!!, Lédor is complaining. " Let me fight Brédors apprentice, if I beat 
him, you'll let me go "!!!
" Fine. You fight, if that what you want Lédor. When you are finished, you are 
coming back with me ". 
" NO "! Harzadia turns around, she doesn't like when someone is talking back at 
her.
Slowly she's walking back to Lédor, stopping a half meter from him.
" Listen you slimy toad! Take this chance, it's the only one you'll have!! Or 
die here, by my hand "!
" I'll fight "!!!
Young Kádor is taking off his cloak and giving it to his Master. The apprentice 
and the traitor are facing each other. While Brédor is roaring things like; " 
I'm gonna kill you ", and other things like it, K'ador is warming up. Finally he 
is ready. They are walking around in a circle, observing each others moves. 
Lédor is beginning by attacking with different punches, which are blocked easily 
by the young opponent. Many strikes fails, as the mid aged man is trying to 
defeat him. With a high and very fast wheel kick, the traitor is trying a new 
approach. Janeway can tell by Kádors loose style, that he is enjoying him self. 
Ducking smoothly to avoid the agrees attack from his advisory. Lédor is kicking 
again and again, aiming at Kádors arms, chest and head. When the traitor is 
coming up with a round kick aimed at his enemies head, the young man grabs the 
foot and through the evil man away. Surprised by what just happened, Lédor is 
rushing towards young Kádor. Just when he is going to make his death blow, Kádor 
moves aside catching " The Lord of Fordria ", around his neck. Quickly he turns 
his enemy around, laying him over the shoulder and breaks his spine and neck. 
The dead body slides down to the dirty ground. Kádor is facing his Master who 
seems like he is very proud of his apprentice. The Argonians are leaving. 
Harzadia is walking away towards the castle. Kathryn Janeway is catching up with 
the Empress by the castle entrance. Harzadia is looking superior at Kathryn. 
" So, Harzadia! We are leaving now ". 
" Yes ". 
" It's good that you have caught the villain ".
" Yes ". 
" Well, take care ".
" Yes ".

Janeway is leaving, walking towards the door. Harzadia is looking after her. An 
hour later, the argonians are flying a shuttle to pick the Voyager crew up. They 
bring back some medical - equipment, for the most needed. The captain is helping 
with the wounded, giving them tranquilizers and some bandages. Chakotay and the 
other Federation members are leaving Axian II, left is Janeway. She is standing 
in front of Nadria, who is crying. She doesn't want Kathryn to leave.
" Kathy, please stay here with me ".
" I can't. I have to get my crew home, to earth ".
" But I love you "! 
" I love you to, in a way. But I can't stay ".
" At least make love to me one more time ".
" Nadria, I can't ".
" I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO. DON'T LEAVE ME"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The girl is 
throwing her self into Kathryn's arms.
Kathy sees no other choice than to put her to sleep. She uses a tranquilizer 
she's got from the doctor. Nadria is falling asleep. Janeway is picking her up, 
and is walking over to Fabvl and his guards.
" Fabvl, can you take care of her "? 
" Off course captain ".
" Thank you. When she wakes up, please tell her… I'm sorry that I could not be 
there for her ".
" Will do ". 
" Thank you. Take care your highness ".
" You to ". 
" Janeway to Voyager, one to beam up ". 

Back on Voyager, Janeway, after they have continued their journey home, is going 
to the doctor for a psyche valuation. The EMH, is checking her with the tri - 
coder and to many questions. After a twenty minutes, when the doctor is about to 
finish, he is noticing something.
" Wait a minute captain, can you come back here "!?
" Doctor, I'm very tired "!
" I can understand that, but according to my scans you are pregnant "! 
" What "!? That can't be "!!!!!!!! 
" You are, take a look your self ".
" But I haven't "………….. 
" Captain,… are you alright "? 
Kathryn is facing the doctor
" Nadria "…….. 

 Nadria is standing still, she is observing Zarbo and his men, who are packing 
their gears. After a few minutes they are ready to leave. Zarbo is turning his 
attention to the girl, who seems upset and angry.
" Are you alright "?, Zarbo is asking her. 
" NO, I'm not alright "!, she is snarling at him, " I've betrayed and raped the 
one I truly love "!!! 
" Raped "?, Fabvl is giving her a questioned look," How could you have raped her 
"? 
" The slimy argonian, made me make love to her, and forcing me to impregnating 
her with his sperm "!!! 
The guards are raising their eyebrows under their helmets, at the same time they 
are looking at eachother.
" Well kiddo, if it makes you feel better ….."
" What "?
" What is your name, little one "?
" Nadria ".
" Nadria….. Janeway told me that even if she doesn't love you ( He feels that 
it's all wrong, explaining this to her, but he tries, he promised ), no.. That 
does not sound right. She told me that she likes you, but nothing more.
" But we "……, she can feel the pain runing through her body, hurting like ever 
before.
" I think it is better for you to find some one here. Some one that is not going 
so far away ".
" She told me "!!!!!!!!!
" Sorry ". 
She is walking away, crying. Zarbo is glancing quickly at her before he is 
leaving with the guards. Nadria is walking through the ruins of some of the 
buildings, she is finally free. For the last year she had been a slave / 
mistress to the evil Lord G´ker. Now he is going to answer for his actions. The 
thought brings a smile upon her face, when she is climbing over some brigs from 
a destroyed wall. She is looking up at the blue/gray sky. 

" That stupid girl "!!!!, roars Janeway. 
" That bastard, the bloody argonian made her do it "!! 
" Or she volunteered ", the EMH fills in.
" What the hell does that suppose to mean "!?, Chakotay is asking with a snarl.
" It means that if he could not make love to the captain of her own free will, 
he must find another way. The answer was: Nadria. She was the perfect 
alternative to make sure that the captain where going to be pregnant ", explains 
the doctor, then he continues. " The "….
" Can you remove it "?, Janeway interrupts.
" I was just getting to that "!, the doctor grunts. " I don't know how its 
possible "… 
" What "!?, Janeway is asking.
" Please, don't interrupt me! You humans always do … Somehow he have managed to 
speed up the process, or the argonians grows quickly ". Kathryn is sitting up, 
looking worried at the doctor. 
" How long "!!!!?
" A month, captain. Maybe even earlier, I am sorry " .
Kathryn Janeway is putting her hands over her face, she is leaning her head back 
and screams. 
" NOOOOOOOOOOOOO "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Chapter 2: Terror o Talon 
On Argonia the traitor is standing in a circle of light in the temple of Pgarza, 
around him are twelve judges standing . They are dressed in black and wearing 
gray copes. Two of them are holding sticks with the argonian symbol, they are 
the beginning and the end . They are the beginning and the end of the circle. 
One by one, they begin to question the guilty. 
" Lédor, You have broken the law ", the first one says.
" You have shown disrespect to the Empress and your people ", the second 
continues..
" What You have dune can't be over looked ", says the third judge. 
Lédor is listening to them, he knows better then to use that big mouth of his. 
After a few minutes there are only two judges left. 
" Violence, terrorizing, use of the Empress centurions for your own evil doings, 
rape, holding people in prisons, just for the pleasure to torture them are not 
acceptable "! 
" And finally, the judgement: Lédor, You are going to work in the mines, for 
twenty years for what you have dune. Than when the period is over, you are going 
to work for the people of Argonia ", the supreme judge is telling Lédor. The 
traitor is protesting, but it won't do him any good. The centurions are dragging 
him away. From the shadows is the Empress stepping forward, the senior judge is 
meeting her. They are talking for a long time, before the Empress is leaving the 
senior judge is asking her: 
" This is a sad day for the Argonian empire, this must never happen again. What 
are we going to do then ? "
" If this ever happens again, kill ém "!, Harzadia orders, then she is leaving.

Voyager is headed towards the Alpha quadrant once again. It will take a while 
before the crew has recovered from their latest adventure. Kathryn is laying 
down on her bed. She can't find a way to lie comfortable. Janeway is grunting, 
snarling, twisting and turning, she is not happy being pregnant. Not at all. 
Specially when she doesn't want to be. Suddenly her mind is starting to spin 
with allot of questions. 
" What is she going to do? Is she going to give birth to this unwanted child, or 
should she ask the doctor to remove it ?Than what? Can she continue living, 
knowing that she has taken an unborns life? And Chakotay? How is she going to 
tell him about it? How is he going to react "? 
Kathryn is going crazy over these questions. She goes through the hole incident 
on Axian II in her head. The cruel Lord, that terrorized the people, who raped 
and beaded her crew half to death, under the protection of his centurions. And 
the girl, Nadria - did he forced her to make Janeway pregnant? Or did she 
volunteer? Kathryn is almost banging her head to the wall, trying to answer her 
question. But the main question still remains. 
" How….", she begins, 
" What am I to do "?…. I don't want to have this child! But if I remove it, can 
I live with myself, knowing that I have taken an unborn child's life, that I 
have killed someone that is completely innocence "? 
After six hours she gets up, and tumbles away to sickbay, where she is asking 
the doctor to give her something to make her sleep. The EMH obeys her wish, and 
she falls a sleep on one of the bio beds. 

Meanwhile Chakotay is sitting in the command chair, he can see a planet two 
light years away. He is asking for Neelix to come to the bridge. A minute later 
the talaxian is entering the bridge, he is combing his hair, when he sees Tuvok 
gives him a great smile. The vulcan is sighing. The commander is turning his 
attention to the moral officer.
" Neelix, do you know anything about that planet "? 
" No, I can't say that I know that much about them. I think they are friendly " 
.
" That'll have to do. Mr. Paris, lay in a course ", Chakotay orders. 
" Aye sir ", the lieutenant replies.
Tom is turning the ship, adjusting the course, then Voyager is going towards the 
planet. When they are within communication range, Chakotay is hailing the 
planet. On the screen they can see a man in a flight suite and a helmet. His 
skin is blue and his eyes are black. 
" This is commander J´edr Ladro of the talonian spaceforce. Identify yourself ".
" I am commander Chakotay of The Federation ship Voyager ".
" How can I help you commander Chakotay "?
" We have a problem, our captain was raped by an argonien. She is now pregnant 
and we can't remove the embryo ". 
" I see. I'll contact president K´dahr and ask him if he allows you to come 
down. You see we have problem with the Dje - Vraad "
" Who's the Dje - Vraad "?, Chakotay wants to know.
" Terrorists. Jédr Ladro out "!

A series of great explosions accrues on Harrk Ave. Besides the six houses that 
are blown out totally, a chock wave that follows makes the buildings on the 
block weak, and many people dies or they get seriously hurt. The police is 
coming to the crime scene in a blink of an eye. They are searching the ruins for 
evidence, but they can't find anything. The chief of police, Carr O´sak is 
pounding his fist on a destroyed vehicle.
" Damn those terrorists! Doesn't they have anything better to do "? 
" I do not know, sir ", an officer answers. 
" I better tell the president about this. Something has to be dune, now "!
The chief is contacting the president, over the radio. The voice that can be 
heard sounds very upset about the news. The president K´Daahr, a big fat man 
dressed in a kimono - liked clothing, his head is almost balled, he is walking 
in his own footsteps for five minutes, while he is talking to the officer. When 
the conversation is over, K´dahr sits down. The minute after another hail is 
coming in. Irritated the president answers. 
" Yes "!?
" Mr. President, this is commander J´der Ladro of the Spaceforce. Sir, I´ve just 
talked to a commander onboard a ship called Voyager and he asked us for help ". 
" Help with what "? 
" Their captain is pregnant and she wants to do an abortion ". 
" But why? Being pregnant is a good sign ".
" Not if you have been raped, not by an argonian, sir ", the commander tells 
him. 
" ARGONIAN "!!!!!?, the president is standing up fast, pounding his big fist in 
the table, making the small computer jump. 
He calms down after about a minute.
" Bring her to the hospital. But commander, be careful "…. 
" You don't want to run into the terrorists ". 

She can feel the child kicking inside her, sometime it hurts. The belly is very 
big, it looks like she is in the eight or ninth month. Kathy is having a hard 
time getting up and move around, Kathryn is sitting down on the nearest bio-bed. 
Looking down at the big belly, Janeway is sighing heavy. Chakotay is entering 
the sickbay, he is coming up to her and reporting the latest.
" Captain, I've spoken to a commander on the planet ".
" What planet "?, Kathryn wants to know. 
" Talon ".
" The planets in this part of the galaxy sure have strange names ", she says 
spontaneously. 
" He told me that they will meet us at the hospital ".
" Thank you commander, lets get this over with "!, Janeway is facing him. 
When Kathryn is trying to get of the bio-bed , Chakotay is putting a hand on her 
shoulder. 
" They have a terrorist problem down there. Be careful ".
" Don't worry, I have Tuvok and some security officers with me. I'll be fine ".
She claps her first officer gently on the cheek, then she is tumbling out from 
the sickbay. Together with Tuvok, the captain and six security officers are 
heading to the nearest transporter room. 

In the capital city of Talon, several buildings near Harrk ave, are exploding 
from within, in series of explosions. The pressure that comes from the 
explosions, through the people on the street outside, hard to the ground. Chaos 
is a fact. Two minutes later a talonian police, lieutenant by rank, is entering 
the crime scene. He jumps of his speeder, and takes a fast look around. A minute 
later four other policemen are slowing down their vehicles, a med. unit follows 
them, and they are reporting to him. 
" I'm impressed "!, the lieutenant is saying at the same time as he is taking 
off his helmet.
" Sir, where do we begin "?, the youngest officer is asking. 
" Tell you one thing, I'll be damned if I have to clean this up "!, he is 
spitting, then he is continuing, 
" All right! You meds take care of the wounded and you boys, you help me find 
the things that cost this disaster. Lets go "! 
The police is searching the ruins after some evidence, but they can't find 
anything that they can use, to connect the crime to Dje Vraad or any crime 
organization. On a rooftop a few blocks away, a man in a gray trench coat is 
observing the police through a binocular. He slowly is putting them away, before 
he is leaving the roof. 

When they have beamed down, and are standing outside the hospital, they are met 
by a tall and well-trained woman  who doesn't seem to like them being there. She 
is dressed in gray military pants, boots and a west. Her hair is long, black and 
curly.
" All right, follow me inside, lets get this over with "!! 
" I'm Kath "......
" I know who you are "!!!!, the large woman interrupts. 
" Then why "............
They are walking inside the hospital, where a surgery-bed is waiting for her, 
and two meds. The big woman is picking Janeway up, and puts her down on the 
bunk. 
" HEY "!!!, Janeway cries.
" Okey. Take the thing out o her, and get them back to their ship "!!!!
The meds are rushing away, ignoring Kathryn's protesting. Just before they are 
going into a corridor, Janeway is stopping them. She gets of the bunk and 
starting to walk back to the woman at the entrance. Tuvok, and the security 
officers are not surprised, seeing their captain coming back, but the woman is. 
She is turning around, facing Janeway. 
" You are a stubborn little one aren't yeah "? "
Now listen, I don't know who the hell you think you are... "!!!
" No, you don't ", the woman replies quickly. 
" Than who the hell are You "!? 
" I'm ......... Some one that don't want You around "!..........
" Whey's that "?, Janeway is asking, very irritated.
" All right " Little " one. I'll tell yea! We have a terrorist problem here, my 
partner Quantonia just died. She was shot by a terrorist on a rooftop. I had to 
cut her up to save her baby, on a dirty office table!!!! Kir´dro broke up with 
me three days ago, he is now leader of the Dje - Vraad. The city is in chaos, 
and now you have to come here, asking US to help You "!! 
She continues.
" Take her to the surgery room at once, if she complains" ..... " Do something 
"!!!!, she sights. " I'm sure you can take care of a human, or what ever she is 
"……… 
The blue skinned woman is leaving, Janeway snarls at her. When she is going to 
exit, Janeway is asking her: 
" Could you please tell me your name, or is that to much to ask"?, !!!!???
  Janeway is asking her, with allot of irritation in her voice.
" Dji - Ka Whéel ", the woman replies before leaving in a hurry.
The meds and a doctor are trying to make Janeway come with them. 

Meanwhile back on Axian II, Nadria is back in the castle, she is walking up the 
stairs, into the room where she and Kathryn spent their night together. She is 
sitting down on the bed, the tray and the jugs are still standing on  the floor. 
Nadria is laying down, she falls asleep after half an hour. When she wakes up, 
she change her clothes and packs her stuff, the few things that are her own, 
then she is leaving the castle never to return. Nadria is beginning to try to 
contact people that might help her finding Voyager and its captain. Late that 
same evening, when the girl is sitting dining in restaurant where mostly pirates 
and other scum hang out, a pale and skinny man is coming up to her. He is 
wearing a cloak, hiding his scary face. He sits down next to her. 
" HI there "!
" Hi "...... 
" I'm Mertock, the next ruler of Axian II "!!!!!
" NO YOU'RE NOT "!!!!!!!!!!!, someone is interrupting from the next table.
" I AM TO "!!!!!!!, Mertock is roaring, then he continues, " As I was saying 
.... I understand that you are searching for Voyager ". 
" How do you know that "!?, Nadria is asking him with both interest in her voice 
and at the same time with some irritation, by being interrupted in her meal.
A huge Hirogen hunter is stepping up to them, followed by four other hunters. 
The leader is looking at the little man infront of him, than he is turning to 
his hunters.
" So this is the New Lord of Axian II ?..... Tell me, ´cause I REALLY wanna 
know. ( He leans over the table ),Now that YOU ARE the new ruler, what benefits 
do I have as a hunter, of other species "? 
" Well I "......., Mertock is trying to explain. 
" You better get out of here, before you'll end up on my bulkhead "!!!!, the 
Hirogen is laughing, the rest of the people in the dining place joins him. 
He is sitting down on the same chair as the little man sat on.  The other 
Hirogens are placing them selves around them. The leader is starting to talk.
" You know, he would be a weak prey, not even worth hunting "!
" I believe you ", says Nadria, " What do you want "? 
" I know where Voyager is ... We can be there tomorrow if you like ". 
" I'm listening ". 

On a surgery bed is Janeway lying. The doctors are checking her pulls, blood, 
physic samples, taken from the blood, and a healthcheck of the baby. When 
finished, they are leaving the room, to talk about the results of the tests, and 
how or if they can remove the embryo without killing the woman. Ten minutes 
later the doctor is entering the surgery room. Janeway is worried, he can tell 
by the way she is behaving, the looks and body language speaks for them selves. 
He is sitting down next to her. 
" We have looked over the results, and I am sorry to say that there is a great 
risk we have to take ". 
" How great risk doctor "?, Kathryn Janeway is asking him. 
" We do not know. Your body is not incompatible to argonian physiology, and four 
things could happen ". 
" What doctor "? 
" What are My options "? 
" 1. The child dies. 2. You end up in a coma ....... 3. You'll die ".
" Is there a the one "?, she asks, while she feels that the  tears are not far 
away.
" The fourth: You both will die. I'm sorry ". 
" What if I where to follow the pregnancy through "?
" Than you most serenely would die . I would not consider that an option "!
The doctor is leaving the surgery room once again. In enters Tuvok, he is 
sitting down next to his Captain. He is taking her hand in his. 
" Oh, Tuvok ...... What shall I do? If I try to get it out, either the child or 
myself will die. Or I  end up in a coma "!! 
Tuvok is sitting still, not saying anything. After a while he is standing up. 
" Let it all out, captain ", says Tuvok with a calm voice. 
" I, this is so hard for me. What shall I do? I have to decide how this shall 
proceed. I cant take the babies life, that goes way beyond my reasoning. I know 
that I don't want to have this child. A child has to be made of love, and this 
one is not. If I continue, giving birth to it, I……", she starts to cry.
She is leaning her head at Tuvoks shoulder, he pulls her tightly. When she stops 
crying, she continues. ……
" The doctor told me that three things could happen. The child could die, I can 
end up in a coma or we both will die "!!!!  
Janeway is crying as ever before, grabbing Tuvoks arm and holding it tight and 
hard. Like a small child, seeking comfort in its mothers arms, Kathryn is 
seeking that exact comfort in her security officer. Tuvok has never seen Janeway 
like this, and doesn't know what to do or say. After a few minutes he feels like 
he has to say something.
" Captain, I will talk to the Commander and the doctor. I will ask Chakotay to 
beam down at once ".

Three Hirogen ships are leaving Axian II. On the leading ship is Nadria. The 
commander is beaming down to the planet, where Tuvok is meeting him. The Vulcan 
is leading the way to the captain, than he is waiting outside. Chakotay is 
sitting down beside Kathryn, who is looking at him with tears in her eyes. He is 
pulling her tight, holding her for a long time untill the doctors comes back. 
Kathryn starts to panic when her commander is about to leave. It hurts Chakotay 
to see Kathryn like this. The doctors are giving Janeway a tranquilizer, she 
falls asleep. After they have put Kathryn on a bunk, Chakotay is asking the 
doctor some questions. 
" Doc. What is going to happen now "? 
" Well, we have to make some scans, and try to determine how to proceed in this 
matter ".
" You are not answering my question, doctor "!
The doctor sights, than he starts to explain.
" We have to make some tests. We begin with a CAT - scan, check her pulls then 
her blood with CBC "…… 
" CBC "?, Chakotay is asking.
" An abbreviation for a complete blood count, which is an all-purpose blood 
test; combining diagnostic evaluations of red blood cell count, and white cell 
count. Than erythrocyte indices, hematocrit, and a differential blood count ", 
the doctor explains, than he continues. " When we are dune, maybe we can find a 
way to take " it " out ". 
Chakotay is giving the doctor a "explain more - kind - of look ". 
" We have to cut the baby out, through the C - section, the belly ", the doctor 
explains. 
After talking for a few more minutes. 
" Do your very best doc. I'm counting on you ", he tells him.
" Will do ", the doctor replies , than he is leaving. 

Chakotay feels a little better. He is saying a short pray, asking his gods to 
watch over his captain and friend. The commander is kissing Janeway on the for 
head before leaving. At the door he turns around for a few seconds. Seeing 
Kathryn lying there, helpless makes his heart hurt. Several hours later, 
Chakotay is walking in his own footsteps in the waiting room. Tuvok is standing 
infront of a soda machine. In the waiting room is an old woman sitting. She is 
walking over to the vulcan, and taps him on the right shoulder. Tuvok is looking 
down at her.
" Don't you have enough money, son "?
" ´Beg you pardon "?
" I have some coins here somewhere "….. ( she starts poking around in her bag ), 
" Here we are "! 
" I am not thirsty ".
The woman is putting in the coins, and then she is choosing hot chocolate. When 
it is finished, she gives it to Tuvok, who seems a little irritated. The woman 
continues talking. 
" Well, there you are. What is your name young man "?
" I am not young ".
" Sure you are! I am 89 years old next Tertak ( Tuesday ), what was your name 
again "?
" Tuvok ", he answers.
For the moment Chakotay can't help laughing.
" Well Mr. Vertok, I have to go. Drink up your hot chocho, I'm not leaving until 
you have finished "!
Tuvok is drinking up the choclate. When he is finished, the old woman dries his 
mouth with a handkerchief, than after giving him a gently clap on the cheek, she 
is leaving. 
" Well Mr. Vertok. Enjoy your chocho "!, the commander is laughing out loud. 
" That was not funny "!
" Yes it was "! 
" No, it was not "!! 
Six hours later the doctor is entering the waiting-room. Chakotay is meeting the 
doctor half way.
" How is she "?!! 
" The child was stillborn. We managed to remove it ".
" ………….The captain "? 
" Commander, I think you better sit down ". 
" No. You tell me now "!!!!!
" As you wish. Your captain is in a coma. The surgery it self went fine, but 
humans are not designed to give birth to argonian offspring ". 
Chakotay becomes angry, he loses control and turns the waiting room upside-down, 
the doctor doesn't know what to do, but Tuvok does. He walks up to the furious 
Commander and uses the vulcan nerve - pinch on him. Later when Chakotay is awake 
and is calm, and the waiting room is as it should be, the conversation 
continues.
" What will happen now, doc !?…… Can we get her back to Voyager "?
" No I'm afraid not ". 
" Why not "? 
" Considering moving her now, would be fatal. Her chemical balance is erratic, 
and the argonian genes has developed an infection ".
" I see. Tuvok, I'm going back to Voyager. I'll inform the others. I'll be back 
as soon as I can ". 
" Yes sir ". 
" Chakotay to Voyager. One to beam up ".

The Hirogen ships are six hours from Talon. In the briefing room are: Tom, 
Bélanna, Harry and Neelix sitting. Chakotay is entering. He is walking past 
them, and he is stopping when he comes up to the chair that their captain should 
sit. 
" How is she "?, Tom is asking.
" This is not easy for me…… ", the commander begins. 
" WHAT "!!!!!?, asks Bélanna " What is not easy? Is the captain alright "!!!? 
" Calm down lieutenant. Here's the deal. The child is dead, the surgery went 
fine, but…."
" But ?… I don't like the sound of that "!!!!!!!, Neelix complains. 
They are beginning to argue, until Chakotay pounds his fist in the table. 
" CUT IT OUT!!!!! The captain is in a coma, and I don't know for how long "!!!!! 

A hail is coming in. It's from Tuvok, who is reporting that the terrorists are 
in the neighborhood. He tells them that they have to get the captain back to 
Voyager as soon as possible. Chakotay agrees. 
" Have you talked to anyone, when we can come down and take her home"? 
" I sure you that it would not be a good idea, commander ".
" Whey's that "? 
" They found something else as well, an infection that they do not know how to 
treat ".
" Damn "!!!, Maybe the doctor can do something ", Chakotay suggests.
" It is worth a try ", says the vulcan commander. 
" Voyager out "! Chakotay is taking a fast glance over the room, over his 
crewmates, then he continues. " The situation does not look good, not at all. … 
I have a suggestion. Tom and the doctor beams down right away. Try to determine 
if or when the captain can come back to Voyager ". " Yes sir ", the young 
handsome lieutenant replies.
Chakotay continues. 
" When they are finished, We will beam down as well. Making sure that the 
captain will come home safely . Agree"?
" AYE, SIR ", they are all saying at the same time.
" Good, then dismissed ", Chakotay orders. 

" Regeneration cycle complete "-
Sevenofnine is stepping out from her alcove. It feels good, being a hundred 
percent again. Ever since they encountered the evil argonian on Axian II, she 
has felt restless and having a hard time concentrating. As she is leaving the 
cargo bay , towards the astrometrix, she keeps thinking about what's happened. 
Just outside the entrance to the astrometrix, Kim is coming towards her. Seven 
can see that he wants something, but she is not in the best of mood for the 
moment, so she is ignoring him. Tom Paris is re-materializing on the surface, he 
is reporting to Tuvok. From the left pocket, Tom is pulling up the doctors 
emitter, and activates the doc.
" Please say the nature of the medical emergency ".
" Lieutenant, good that you are here with the doctor ", Tuvok says with his 
usual dry tone. 
One of the doctors is showing them the way to the room where their captain is 
lying. The EMH is scanning the captain with the medical tri - coder.
" Well, she seems to be stabile for now. But I do not think we can move her. Not 
yet anyway ". 
" Great "!, Tom sights. 
" What are we gonna go "? 
" We are going to wait ", Tuvok replies. 
" Wait "!?, Tom complains, " For how long "!!? 
" I do not know. Until we know something, or the captain wakes up ".

In a restaurant on the other side of the city, four people are sitting around a 
wooden table. There are many people dining here. Inside the place reminds of a 
tree house, ( the kind people made in America in the 19th century ), with small 
windows, low ceiling and a bar in the upper left corner. The four people are 
having a discussion. 
" I've been thinking ", the says the first one, who is sitting nearest the 
window. 
" About what "?, the man in front of him is asking. 
" Kir´dro, is he our leader now, or what "? 
" Yes, he is. Why "? 
" Nah, just wondering. I mean it was not long ago he was our enemy, and before 
that a cop "!
" Now you listen to me "!!!!, the third roars.
" Kir´dro was chosen by our last leader. Yes, Kir´dro was a cop, one of the best 
in this part of space "!!!!
He continues after sitting down.
" Now he is the leader of the Dje - Vraad. And we are proud followers "!!!!
" Off course, but …….." 
" But what "!? 
" Just wondering. What about that woman "? 
" What woman "?, the second asks. 
" Are you as deaf as you are blind? That Kir´dro was married to "!
" As far as I know, he still is ", the fourth one ads. " But he told me last 
night, as we sat on the rooftop near Harrk Ave, that she would not be a problem 
". 
" What was her name again "?
" You do not register at all kid, do yeah "!, the first snarls. 
" Her name is Dji - Ka, ex. Military, now terrorist fighter for the talonian 
government. Don't worry. Let's go. We have work to do "!

The Hirogens are landing their ships a kilometer from the capital. The people 
that are nearby have to run away, if they don't want to be landed on. Nadria is 
thanking the leader, but he is just looking at her.
" I didn't bring you here just so you can search for your hunnybunny. There must 
be plenty of prey here "! 
" Well thanks again ", Nadria says, than she is leaving the hunters behind. 
" Don't thank me. If I find you, it will most likely be you who will be my next 
prey "!!!!!!! 
Nadria is ignoring him. She is hurrying outside, and into the crowd to find her 
" one true love ". The hunters are leaving their ships as well, and are going 
for a hunt in the city. 

Tom is beaming down. He has a med - kit in his right hand and the doctor in the 
pocket. Tuvok and an inhabitant nurse, who is leading the way to the room where 
Janeway is lying, meet him.
" Tom, about time you got here"! 
" How is she "?
" The captain is not well. And by the way, why are you so late "?
" Bélanna was angry, again. Ever since she got pregnant she has had this weird 
behavior ".
" Do I have to remind you that she is both klingon and a woman "? 
" No! You don't Tuvok. You don't "! 
" I was looking forward to one hour on the HD "!!! 
" You are spending to much time " on the HD ".
" What is a HD "?, the nurse is asking.
" A holodeck ", Tuvok tells her. 
" Here we are ".
" A doctor will be here soon ". 
" Thanks allot vulcan ". 
" Explain lieutenant ". 
" No rush. I've brought my own "! 
The nurse is looking confused at him. Tom is picking up the emitter from his 
pocket. He activates the EMH. The nurse is starring with her moth open, as the 
doctor is materializing in front of her. 
" Please say the nature of the medical emergency ". 
" How can he fit in that little thing "!?, the nurse wants to know. 
" He is a hologram "; Paris is starting to explain, when he noticing that the 
woman doesn't understand what he is trying to say, he drops it. In a bed is 
Kathryn Janeway lying, her eyes are closed, she is breathing heavily. Never has 
Tom seen her so weak and defenseless. The doctor starts to examine her, while 
Tom stands still. Like he was paralyzed. The doctor begins with a scan, using 
his med - tricorder. 
" Hmmm, Mr. Paris …… Mr. Paris "!!!!!!!!!!
" What "!?
" Assist me "!
"Hu?, oh. Sure ".
" She has a sort of Astrocytoma - a slowly growing tumor of the glial tissue of 
the brain and the spinal cord ".
" Can we do something about it "?
" The problem is that this is a different kind of Astrocytoma ".
" What do you mean by different "? 
" I mean, it seems like it is a mutation ".
" In English doc "!! " Remember in the 20th, 21st 22nd century on earth, there 
where allot of different illnesses. Some killed billions like: plague, aids 
and.. ". 
" Your point doc "!, Tom interrupts. 
( Sights ), " I mean that it took many years before they could come up with a 
cure ".
" But they did "!!! 
" Eventually, yes ".
" But what does that has to do with our captain "!!!!!!!?
" Mr. Paris, It might be hard to come up with a cure. It might not be one, but 
I'll keep on working until I have found a way ". 
" Fine doc, you do that! And I'll inform the commander ".

A patrol car is driving slowly down the main street of the city. Everything is 
going smoothly; people are walking around on the street, and enjoying 
themselves. Out from a store are two masked people running, they are pushing 
people left and right to get away. One of the two robbers is dropping a paper. 
The police are getting out from the car, and starts to run after the two masked 
men. Panic is a fact when the two robbers are taking notice of the police, and 
starts to fire towards them. Several civilians are being shot down. The two 
criminals are rushing around the next corner, where a get away car is waiting. 
With a roar it drives away, leaving a long stripe of dust. The Deparzia statue: 
a statue that is five times as big as statue of liberty in New York, it has the 
shape of a man that is stretching up his arms at the skies. The statue reminds 
allot of old Greek sculptures. There are two elevators attached to the statue 
that the repairmen are using them when the statue needs to be fixed. Inside the 
gigantic body are several rooms and corridors. Inside the head, is a small room, 
used by the first ruler of Talon - for over three millennia ago. Then it was 
used to protect important people in time of war, now it's mostly a tourist 
attraction. Inside the head are twenty people being held hostage by eight armed 
terrorists. The hostages are sitting on the floor, sitting close to each other. 
Some are crying. The terrorists are dressed in flight suites; army boots and 
hoods covering their faces. One of the terrorists are talking on a radio, the 
others are keeping an eye on the hostages, by pointing their riffles at them. 
" Now listen! If you want these innocent people alive cop, I want one million 
for each one, and there are twenty of them! And don't send one of your lame 
negotiators, if You do; I'll kill ém "!!!! 
From the radio a female police is speaking, trying to talk some sense with the 
terrorist.
" I can tell you this much Mr. If you harm just one of them, your demand… You 
can kiss them goodbye. No I will not. Give us what we want, now "!!!!!! 
The terrorist leader turns the radio off, and then he turns to his comrades. 
" They will not cooperate with us, not if we continue like this. 
He is pointing at one of the hostages, a man; he wants him to come up to the 
window. At first the man does not want to, but he gives in, when he has an 
automatic riffle aimed at him. 
" Talk to them "!!!!, the leader commands.
" Th…this is M…Makla D´ars, pleeease ", the man cries. 
" There, he asked and added please. Now give us what we want. Yeah got ten 
minutes "!!!!! 
For a few minutes it's quite, then the woman is calling him back. 
" We can't give you the money. There is no possibility that it will happen ".
" Graaaarh!!! You just lost a hostage "!!!!!!!!!! "
He continues.
" Fine. Have it your way ", he tosses the radio away,
" Okay, drop him "!!!!! 
Two of the masked men are breaking a window, then another helps them are 
grabbing the man; they are throwing Makla out the window. Outside the statue, a 
chopper - liked vessel is seeing what is happening, and is filming the man, who 
is falling fast towards the hard ground. Quickly the chopper is turning around, 
going back the same way it came. Inside the gigantic statue, the terrorists are 
laughing out loud. One of the people sitting on the floor, is getting up and is 
trying to stop the madness, by throwing himself into the terrorist group. The 
masked men are shooting him to pieces. The other hostages are starting to feel 
panic. The terrorists that are holding the man, are pulling him up. The leader 
is calling the police. 
" Maybe you are listening now, you no - good cop "!!!!!!!!! 

The president, K´daahr is sitting in his chair in his office, around him are 
several people standing and sitting. They are advisors, ( two females ), 
generals and politicians . K´daahr is beginning to talk. 
" Than you for coming so quickly. I've just heard about the situation at the 
Deparzia statue. The terrorist has gone to far this time. We have to do 
something now! I've asked Commander Chakotay onboard Voyager to come down as 
soon as possible ".
" To do what "? 
A female advisor is wants to know. 
" Well Feij, I have asked him to help us with the situation on our planet. We 
can use some help ".
" What about the human in the hospital "?, General Kjagra wants to know. 
It knocks on the door to the office, Chakotay is entering. He is sitting down on 
the empty chair, next to the young, beautiful Feij.
" Commander Chakotay, welcome "! 
" Thank you, Mr. President ".
" Let's get on with it. General Kjagra, standing at the pillar behind you, just 
asked about your captain's condition. Any thing to report "?
" The doctors are doing their best. They have dune some tests, and they have 
come up with a vaccine that they are going to try ". 
" That's good ", the president replies.
" Where is Dji - Ka " ?, asks a politician. 
" Shouldn't she be here by now "? 
In enters Dji - Ka. She seems irritated, as usual. Walking up to the others, and 
is stopping in front of Chakotay, who is looking at her with a smile. She 
sights, then she is turning her attention to the president.
" Where have you been " ?, Feij is asking her, with an irritated tone on her 
voice. 
" Taking my dog out for a walk "!, the tall and sexy woman replies. 
" But you don't have a dog ", another advisor cuts in. 
Dji - Ka is ignoring the comment. The president is continuing, explaining the 
situation to Chakotay. 
" You see Chakotay, we have a situation here, that has to be solved a.s.a.p, and 
we could use some help. Since the police is to busy with the locals and traffic 
so we can't use them …… " .
" I'll talk to my crew, and …" 
" Mr. President, I must protest! You can't be serious, asking these little 
mosquitoes to help us "!
" They are way to small to survive out there "!!!!!
" How so, Miss. Whéel "?, K´daahr is asking her, at the same time that he is 
leaning back.
" I will not be responsible for another death again "!
" You are not responsible for Quantonias death, she knew what she was getting 
her self into. You did save the baby "!
" I know that Mr. President, but…".
" The discussion is over! Now, Commander Chakotay, you where saying "?
" I can understand Miss Whéels concern, but don't worry, we can take care of our 
selves. We have been into worth situations before. I'll talk to the crew, and be 
back in two hours ". 
" Do that ", says K´daahr.
" Chakotay to Voyager, one to beam up ".

In the hospital, another doctor is assisting the EMH, when Tom Paris is called 
back to Voyager for briefing. The doctors are observing the captain, where she 
is lying. The inhabitant doctor is quires about how the EMH, can operate outside 
the ships medical bay, since he is a hologram. The Voyager doctor explains.
" I am a emergency medical hologram as you know, and thanks to my holo - emitter 
on my arm, I can leave the sick bay any time. Go away on away missions and do 
other things ".
" Like what "?
" Oh, I've been to an opera once….".
" You have? Sing something "!!!!
" Alright , what shall I sing ? Hmmm, I've studied so many things over the 
years, I sang " You are My sunshine ", with Seven once . She has a fantastic 
singing voice ".
" Sing a verse ". 
" Okay doctor, here goes ", the EMH smiles at the inhabitant doctor. 
The EMH begins to sing, ( Episode: Some one to watch over me ) when he has 
finished the first verse, a beeping sound can be heard. The sound comes from the 
ECG - ( Electrocardiogram that measures heart activity ), and the EEG - ( 
Electroencephalogram that measures brain activity ), the indicators are of the 
scale. The doctors are looking at each other. When they have managed to still 
the problem, comes another one. Kathryn Janeway starts to shake in a spasm - 
liked way. Suddenly she sits up and screams, than falls back down, and lies 
still. The doctors are looking shocked at each other. 
" Try to the tranquilizer, to make her loosen up "!
"I am trying, Doctor "!!
" Why does a EMH has do to every thing it self ? There, it seems to lighten up a 
little "!
During the following hours, the doctors are working the hardest they can. The 
EMH is taking a new blood sample of the Captain, and it shows just the same as 
before. The inhabitant doctor is beginning to lose concentration and is starting 
to make errors. 
" Take it easy with that ! If you have injected her with this, her blood would 
start to boil "!!!!!!!, the EMH roars at the other doctor.
" Sorry ".
" Sorry is not good enough! Maybe you should get some rest. Call in another 
doctor ".
" Sure. Thanks ", the inhabitant doctor is leaving, and is calling in a 
replacement. 
The new doctor has more experience than the other had, and he can handle stress 
much better. They are also working for hours, trying new things as they come to 
think about it, but nothing seems to work. The new doctor tosses his mask to the 
ground, and swears. 
" Is there anything that we still haven't tried?
Something we have over looked "?, the EMH is asking. 
" No, holodoc, I can't think of anything ! Unless……"
" Unless what "!!!? 
" Unless……. Maybe we can't help her here ……" 
" Now you have lost me "!, says the EMH. 
" Follow me through here. We all know that your captain became pregnant by 
force, not by her own choice…" 
" Yes "! 
"……. How about if the answer lies there! How about the answer can't be found 
here, but on the planet where the enforcer came from "? 
" You mean……" 
" Precisely ! The answer is on Argonia "!!!!! 

Dji - Ka is sitting down in the chair that Chakotay sat in a minute ago. The 
President continues talking about how they can stop the terrorists and make the 
captain better. The others, except for Dji - Ka agrees with him. K´daahr wants a 
peaceful solution to the terrorism of the planet, while Dji - Ka wants to go in 
with everything they've got. They start to argue. Just before " the bomb is 
going to explode ", it knocks on the door, and a secretary enters, with a 
message to the President. After handing it over, she returns to her office. 
K´daahr is reading the message, than he is facing Dji - Ka. 
" Mrs. Whéel, they are asking for you "!
" Me!?, That can't be right. Let me see ", the president is giving her the 
notepad.
Dji - Ka is reading it out loud.
" Dear Dji - Ka. 
I want you to get off your high seekja ( horse ), and settle down some where in 
the country. Buy a pet, raise some kids, or something. To be short: Retire or 
I'll kill you, my love. 
There are nothing you can do to stop me. Sincerely yours. You husband: Kir'dro 
Whéel: ". 
 She is looking up, facing the President and the others. 
" No. This can't be true. He couldn't………"
" Feij, any news about the hostages in the statue "?
" Yes Mr. President. Our negotiator has been successful. The hostages are safe 
".
" That's good to know ", the President smiles.
 " NO, NO!!! HE WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS "!!!!!!!!! 
Mrs. Whéel "?, the President is looking at her, so does the others.
Dji - Ka is leaving the office, closing the wooden door with a big slam. 

An hour later is Chakotay getting a hail from the planet. The commander is 
surprised to see Dji - Ka on the screen. 
" What can I do for you "?, the commander is asking. 
" I want some help ". 
" With what "? 
" The terrorists "! 
" Sure, I'll talk to the Pres " 
" No "!, the large woman interrupts, " You help me now "!!! 
" I'm not sure if I can do that . Our captain is still very ill ".
" I know. And she'll stay that way, unless you help me "! 
" Explain ". 
" Commander, the truth is; the doctors here can't help you ". 
" I'm not following ".
" You earthlings are as stupid as you are ugly. If you help me with this 
problem, I'll help you with yours ". 
She continues.
" Help me get revenge on those who killed my partner, recruited my husband and 
made him their leader. And I'll lead you to a man who can help. Agree "?
Chakotay is glancing over the bridge, than he is turning his attention back to 
the woman on the screen. 
" Fine. I'll send Tom, B'elanna, Tuvok and SevenofNine to help you, than you 
help us ". 
The screen turns black. The minute after the EMH is hailing Chakotay.
" Yes Doctor".
" I have some news about the Captain ".
" Lets hear it "!
" We might be able to save the captain after all ".
" How "?
" Commander, we believe that the cure is on Argonia ".
" I've just spoken to Dji - Ka, who said that you can't help the captain. That 
she knows some one who can…"
" Believe me Commander, she doesn't want to help, she has something else in mind 
".
" Why do you say that, doc "?
" Because, why is it so important for her to stop these terrorists, and not save 
our Captain "?
" You got a point. I'll talk to her. Chakotay out ".
 Dji - Ka is sitting by the window, in her apartment, looking out. She sights 
when she is thinking about the situation with the 
terrorists and the humans. In her hands she is holding a picture of Kir’dro, her 
husband.
 
 
 
" Okay, help her. Good luck ". 
They are leaving the bridge. First to collect Seven than they are heading to the 
transporter - room.
