Well, as you very well know by now, the four of us are on Voyager. But we wrote this about a year before we were beamed up. Heck, even before we knew about fanfic. But Tom and B'Elanna think it's hilarious, so... enjoy!

The truth is rated R, but we know that never stops Paramount, so this is PT 13.

J: Janeway to B'Elanna. We need you down in Engineering
immediately!

B: (over comm link) I'm-stop! I'm a little busy, Captain.
Can it wait?

J: B'Elanna, I know you and Tom just got married, but the
warp core is fluctuating! If you don't get there now, we'll
have to eject the warp core again. And we all know what
happened last time we did that.

B: On my way! Torres out! (getting dressed ) Sorry, Tom.
I've got to go save our butts again.

P: O.K. Any idea how long it'll take? I think I can find a

Bat'leth around here somewhere. (looks under bed, and pulls
out a dagger of B'Elanna's) See? (B'Elanna walks out,
shaking her head)
---------------------
Later:
P: Finally, B'Elanna. First contact.

B: (laughing) Thomas Eugene Paris! How dare you!

P: Please, Saj, what did you expect? We're talking about ME
here!

B: Holodeck two was open. I put in a program of Harry's that
I talked to him about a few days ago. (Reaches into closet,
and pulls out two leather pouches. Tosses Tom one, and steps
into the bathroom.) I'll be right back.

P: What is- (opens bundle, and reveals a loincloth.) O-kay.

B: (Opens door.) Tom?

P: What? (turns and looks at B'Elanna.) Oo-la-la!

B: Me Jane. You?

P: I don't get it.

B: An ancient Earth novel. It's called Tarzan. Remember?
Harry says he told you about it.

P: Oh. Duh.

B: What?

P: Ancient late 1990's slang. Remember? In San Fransisco
(they beam to holodeck two, and begin to play out the love
scene between Tarzan and Jane.)

------------------------------------

J: Looks like this is gonna be a hell of a storm. Janeway to
Paris. (pause) Janeway to Tom Paris. Come in, Lieutenant.
(pause) Janeway to Torres. (pause) Janeway to B'Elanna
Torres. Come in Lieutenant. (pause) Damn! Computer, locate
the newlyweds.

C: Rephrase the question

J: Locate Lts. Tom and B'Elanna Paris.

C: Lt. B'Elanna Paris and Lt. Thomas Paris are on Holodeck
two, without communication ability.

J: Ensign Rollins, use a skeletal lock to beam them to my
ready room. (turns to walk in)

Ch: Are you sure about that Kathryn? If I know Tom and
B'Elanna-

J: I know, Chakotay. It'll be fine.

H: Excuse me, Captain. (she stops and looks at him.) Um, I
know what program they're running, and I believe you should
reconsider.

J: Which, Mr. Kim?

H: Tarzan. Specifically the best part, at least the way Tom
put it.

J: Thank you Mr. Kim. I've read it. I know which part you
mean. (walks into her ready room and taps her commbadge.)
Energize. (Tom and B'Elanna materialize in Janeway's ready
room.)

P: (nude with gashes on arms and forehead.) What the-Captain!
(salutes as he sees Janeway. Then he edges behind B'Elanna.)

B: (still half dressed.) Is there a-a problem? (belatedly)
Captain?

J: (holding back a giggle) In case you hadn't noticed, we're
headed into a large storm cloud. Tuvok estimates a lot of
damages to our ship, and I need the best of the best at their
stations. Also, even though this is not Borg space, Tuvok
has also found there to be a lot of borg activity around this
area. (looks at Tom) I need you at the helm, and (looks at
B'Elanna) you in Engineering.

Both: Aye, Captain.

J: Good. (Sits down behind her desk, and starts to read the
reports.)

P: (a moment later) Can we go now?

J: (looks up) Oh, excuse me. You're dismissed. (looks back
at her work)

B: Uh, Captain? (looks at Tom)

J: Yes?

B: (formally) permission for an inter-ship beaming

J: (looks up and hides a smile) Whatever for?

B: (looks at Tom) Well if you don't mind walking around-

P: (steps up beside B'Elanna and makes her look at him) I DO
mind!

J: (looks Tom up and down. Tom steps back behind B'Elanna.)
I see. Fine. Permission granted.

B: (sighs in relief ) Ensign Rollins, beam me and Lt. Paris
to our quarters.

R: Aye, Lt. Energizing. (Tom and B'Elanna materialize on
the bridge.)

B: (growls) Ensign!

R: I apologize, Lt. We're still having problems with the
transporters.

B: This is NOT my day. Come on, Tom. Let's go get dressed.

P: Chakotay, I'm pulling Marital Status on you. Beam me to
my quarters NOW!

Ch: We're not in the Maquis anymore, Tom. You can't do that!

J: Commander, calm down. I like that Lt. Torres and Lt.
Paris are, for lack of a better word, smitten. It gives this
ship some variety. And if we don't train the children (Tom
and B'Elanna look at each other and blush) We'll never get
home. Try to beam them to their quarters again, Ensign. Mr.
Tuvok, what do you think about what I just said?

Tu: I, too, Captain, believe it logical to have children, as
the Doctor can only keep us alive so long. And, while it was
discovered on Earth in the late 20th century how to clone, the
laws are, while rather outdated, in effect.

J: Quite right. Commander, why are they still on my bridge?
(Ship shakes, as if hit by a phaser blast ) Report!

Ch: A Borg ship came out of nowhere, Captain. It's fired on
us. There are heavy casualties on decks 5-8, and Engineering
is reporting power surges, and power loss. We've lost all
Transporter capability.

J: Damn! (taps commbadge) Janeway to Voyager crew. Battle
stations. (Tom goes to the helm, and B'Elanna runs to the
turbolift. It doesn't open, so she runs straight into it.
Ship is hit again.)

B: OW! Captain, permission to detour to my quarters!

J: (looks at her briefly) Granted! (B'Elanna runs to the
nearest Jeffries tube and starts climbing.) She's fast.

P: So I've found.

J: Mr. Paris, please concentrate on your duties. Mr. Tuvok,
Where is the Borg ship now?

Tu: The Borg Cube is going back to Borg space. Correction,
it is headed this way, bearing ___________.

H: We are being hailed by the Borg. Audio only.

J: Put it on.

Borg: It is required that our drone be returned. We will
rondevou with your ship at the following coordinates. Return
drone 7 of 9, or be destroyed. (Message terminated)

P: They seem fairly harmless. All they want is Harry's-

H and 7: Tom!

P: Never mind.

J: Gentlemen! We're not waiting around to be assimilated.
Mr. Paris, take us out of here. Warp 5. Ensign Kim, what
did Lt. Paris Mean? Your what?

H: It's a long story, Captain.

Ch: I'll tell her if you want, Ensign.

H: NO! I-I mean-not necessary. I'll have a report to you by
0800 hours.

J: Good Mr. Kim. Mr. Paris, we seem to be out of danger.
You may leave.

7: I'll escort you to your quarters, Lt.

P: No need, Seven. I'm being beamed there. Isn't that
right, Chakotay?

Ch: (taps commbadge) Chakotay to B'Elanna Torres. Do we
have Transporters yet?

B: In about 3 minutes, Commander. (pauses) Tell Tom for me.
Torres out.

P: I think I'll just perfect this course until she's ready.

J: Understood, Lt. Commander, in my ready room. Mr. Tuvok,
you have the bridge. (they walk into her ready room.)

B: Torres to Janeway. We have transporters back on line,
Captain.

J: Good work, B'Elanna. Tell Tuvok, then you may beam Tom to
your quarters.

B: Aye, Captain. Torres out. Torres to Tuvok.

P: Yes, Lt.?

B: Transporters are back on-line.

P: You may energize, Lt.

B: Energizing. (Tom dematerializes.) Torres out. Carey I'm
leaving. Don't mess up my warp drive while I'm gone.

Ca: Acknowledged, Lt. (B'Elanna leaves and goes to her
quarters. She enters her quarters, and sees Tom on the bed,
back in his uniform.)

P: Well, that was embarrassing.

B: Incredibly.

P: Where were we?

------------------------------------

Ch: I agree. But Kathryn, we need to realize that Seven
really doesn't want to go back as much as she used to.

J: If we are near Borg activity, we at least need to give her
the option. If we don't, we might run into the same thing we
ran into last time, and the time we met her. We only have
one shuttlecraft left, Commander. We can't afford to lose
it. We also can't afford to lose the trust Seven has given
us. We told her we would tell her when we were near a Cube,
and I intened to hold true.

Ch: Seven has made friends here, Kathryn. Harry, Tom,
B'Elanna, and a lot of crew members. If we give her the
option, of going back to the Borg, she might take it. That
would ruin the self-esteem and the hope she's brought this
ship. As much as we can't lose her trust, we can't really
lose her.

J: (thinks for a moment) Nice speech, Chakotay. I will take
your advice, and not tell her. For the moment. But I must
ask Mistro. He will give me advice, and I will definately
consider it.

Ch: Understood.

J: I'd like to call an officer's meeting for 1000 hours,
including Seven. I will be giving her rank of Ensign, if you
recall.

Ch: Given the circumstances, are you sure that's wise?

J: Am I sure what's wise, Chakotay?

Ch: Having her become an officer. At least while we have
Borg in the area. I don't want any of the races in this
Quadrant to know everything about the Federation, including
the Borg. They don't know anything about us that's
completely up to date. I'd like to keep it that way.


J: Commander, we will be running into Borg our whole way
home. I will not have the Borg manipulate my decisions to
the point that I can't run my ship. But I will check with
the Doctor to see if there is still a chance that Seven will
be drawn back to the collective. If there is, I will wait
out the prsence of the Borg, and make sure she doen't react.
If she does, I will consider your request. If there isn't,
or she doesn't, I will move along with the ceremony.
Understood?

Ch: Aye, Captain.

J: Dismissed. (Chakotay leaves)

------------------------------------

J: (walks into infirmory) Doctor, I must speak with you.

D: (materializes) Please state the nature of the Medical
Emergency. Ah, Captain. How nice of you to stop by.

J: Doctor, I need to know if it is possible Seven will react
to being near Borg by "sprouting" implants again.

D: I don't see why there should be. She hasn't "sprouted"
any since we were in contact with the Raven. If I recall, we
have encountered a number of semi-functional cubes since
then. May I ask why you need to know? I seem to be left out
of the loop a lot around here.

J: We're working on that, Doctor. But in answer to your
question, there is a Borg vessel wandering around, and it has
sensed a drone on our ship. It specifically said we must
return it to the collective, or be destroyed. We were just
wondering if there was any real threat to us, besides being
shot at. Chakotay was afraid she might start to turn into a
Borg drone again.

D: I see no reason why she should. She is not supposed to
use her regeneration cell anymore. She is solely dependant
on ingestation. We've taken out all but the necessary Borg
implants. I don't believe she'll grow anymore.

J: Thank you Doctor. I've made my decision. (walks out)
------------------------------------
Ch: It's not like B'Elanna to be late for a meeting. Tom,
maybe, but not B'Elanna.

J: (Walks in) I can't find those two anywhere. I asked Lt.
Carey where B'Elanna went, and he said reflector controls. I
went there, but all I found were two communicators.

H: She said to tell you she was working in the holdeck on a
new program that will tell her if the nerw repairs on the
warp core are going to hold. Tom was down there helping her
calculate the distance toward home, and helping with a couple
other things. I'll go get them. They're in Holodeck two.
(stands up to leave)

J: No, Ensign, sit down. I have a better idea. Computor,
patch my voice through to holdeck two, and multiply it 100
times. Tom. B'Elanna. Get to thisofficer's meeting NOW!

B: (gasps in pain, puts hands up to her ears, colapses, and
says) OW! Aye, Captain. We're on our way. Torres out. I
guess Harry didn't give her the message.

P: (Helping B up, then they leave with the Warp Core program
still running.) What did you have him tell her?

B: (Walking into Turbolift) Bridge. No one was able to find
her, including the computor. So I told Hary to tell her
where we were and what we were doing. But since our
communicators weren't working, no one could find us either.
So I guess she got frusterated.

P: (rubbing his ears) I noticed.

B: Well, anyways, while you were geting the program ready, I
left our communicators in Engineering. But apparently, a lot
of the back-up communicators aren't working either, and there
weren't any good ones available. We only had the ships
inter-comm system to work with, and that's not very reliable
at the moment.

P: You could've told me that! (quieter) We could've had a
lot of fun all by ourselves.

B: Tom! We were working!

P: Sorry.

B: No you're not, but I forgive you. (T and B walk into
ready room.) Sorry. Ensign Kim, didn't you repeat the
message?

H: Yes Lt. But they misinterpreted the communicators in
Engineering.

J: Lt. Torres, explain.

B: No one could find the Captain, and the computor wasn't
able to locate you, so we went to the Holodeck, leaving a
message with Ensign Kim of where we were.

J: What do you mean, no one could find me? I was in my ready
room, talking with Chakotay.

P: (snikers) Really? Talking you say?

J: Mr Paris, that's enough. You are confined to quarters
until I believe you can control yourself enough to report to
your duties. Dismissed.

P: (blushes) Aye, Captain (walks out)

Ch: Neelix, have you seen anyone else making fun of the
Captain?

N: (coughs) Yes, Mr. Chakotay. I'm not naming names, but one
of the Ensigns in Charting has been making some quite funny-
well, not to me- I mean-

B: We get the picture. Stop now, before you dig yourself in
deeper.

Ch: You've answered my question, Neelix. Thank you. Captain
please excuse my interruption.

J: It's fine, Commander. Now, if you will give me a moment,
I have to gather my thoughts. (They sit in silence for a
moment, and then H starts patting his uniform as if looking
for something.)

Ch: Is there a problem, Ensign?

H: Actually, Commander, I was wondering if anyone had a
tuning fork. (Everyone thinks for a moment)

7: I don't belive they understand your referance, Harry.

B: Looks like it. Whenever my parents or my
fought before dinner, it was always quietmy mothe would joke
that she thought she could hold a tuning fork in the air, and
it would start vibrating from the tension. (shrugs) So I
thought maybe I could try it.

Tu: Ensign, that is an Earth superstition. While it may be a
humorous statement, it is hardly true.

N: I think Ensign Kim realizes that, Mr. Vulcan. He's just
trying to be funny. Surely you you understand humor.

Tu: I understand humor, Mr. Neelix. My culture is not
without humor. It takes years of concentration to acheive
the level of logic that my people have accomplished.

Ch: We know, Tuvok. I don't think Neelix wants a detailed
description of every "complete logic" course you've taken.

Tu: I understand that, Commander. I was merely trying to
point out-

B: (Up to this point, just sitting and watching the the
conflict unfold. Snorts) Men

Ch: Would you care to explain that statement, Lt.?

B: Not really.

Ch: Humor me.

B: You men are always fighting over the stupidest things.

Ch: For example?

B: Whether or not Harry's joke would work. What Vulcans feel
and understand. Whether or not we want to hear Tuvok's life
story. It's pointless. And frankly, I'd like to get back to
the meeting and get this overwith as soon as possible. Tom
and I haven't had ten minutes together, and we've been
married at least 20 hours.

Tu: Correction, Lt.-

B: I don't want to hear it. Captain, if we aren't going to
get on with this, I'm leaving, and I'm going to stay in my
quarters until I feel good and ready to come out.

J: This meeting isn't going anywhere. You're all dismissed.
Mr. Neelix, I'd like you to stay and speak with me a moment.

N: Aye, Captain. (Everyone leaves)

H: B'Elanna, I'm sorry if that Holodeck program caused any
problems.

B: Save it, Harry. Talk to me later.

H: See you later. Do you want me to tell you when they've
rescheduled that meeting? I don't think I'll be able to
understand what you were doing enough to explain it to the
captain.

B: Would you? That would be great. Now if you'll excuse me... (Walks into turbolift)

H: (turns around and bumps into 7) Seven! What a surprise!

7: I was hoping we could talk. (smiles)

H: I'd love to. Join me on the holodeck?

7: I have a better idea. Follow me. (walks into turbolift,
followed by Harry. The doors close, and the sound of Harry
saying "oo-la-la!" is heard.)

------------------------

J: (appears on the bridge) Ensign Rollins, how are the
repairs coming?

R: We are almost up to full manuverability, Captain.

J: Good. Janeway to Engineering.

Ca: Carey here, Captain.

J: Do we have full warp capacity yet, Lt.?

Ca: No captain. We need about three more hours. But we
could have it sone sooner if B'Elanna was down here.

J: No, Lt. As much as I want my ship running smoothly, I
won't do that. Besides, I have a feel ing no one would be
able to get her down there anyway.

Ca: Good point, Captain. Carey out.

R: Captain, I'm detecting a Borg Cube in the area. Bearing
__________. It's powering it's weapons, but it looks like
all they have is their disruptor beam.

J: Brace for impact. (Weapons hit the ship)

------------------------------------

7: (weapons hit the ship again. Turbolift stops, and lights
go out) What was that?

H: I don't kow, (tries the doors) but it looks like we're
stuck in here.

7: And this is a bad thing?

H: Maybe not, but they'll need me on the bridge.

7: Well, as long as we're stuck here, we may as well make the
best of it. (Smooch)

------------------------------------

Janeway to Tom Paris.

P: What?

J: This is your Captain, Luitenant.

P: Fine. What Captain?

J: (sighs) Tom, we need you to get us out of danger. I doubt
you've noticed, but we were hit with a Borg disruptor beam.
Twice.

P: I noticed. Both me and B'Elanna- nevermind. Besides,
Captain. (smugly) I thought I was confined to quarters.

J: Lt., if you keep speaking to me that way, I'm going to
confine you to the Brig! Now get your ass down here! (ship
is hit again) NOW!

P: Aye, Captain. Paris out.

B: I guess I may as well be in Engineering. (Ship is hit
again. B falls down, and there is a large cracking sound)

P: What was that?

B: (growls) My leg. It's broken. I guess I won't be going
to Engineering.

P: Paris to Janeway.

J: Why aren't you down here yet, Mr. Paris?

P: B'Elanna broke her leg in that last blast. I'm taking her
to sick bay, then I'll be there.

J: We'll beam her there Lt. Just get down here.

Ch: Transporters are off-line, Captain.

J: Damn! Make it quick, Tom. Janeway out.

B: Go on. Help me up, and I'll go by myself.

P: I'm not letting you walk on it.

B: You don't have a choice. If you don't fly this ship,
we'll never make it home alive.

P: I'll take that as a compliment. But I trust Ensign
to keep us alive until I'm there. Now hold still.

B: Why? (Tom picks her up.) What are you doing? Put me
down! (Starts hitting him.)

P: No. Stop hitting me.

B: (stops) I thought you liked to be hit.

P: Not right now. (Walks into sickbay. Sits her on a
bed,and says to Doc.) Fix her leg. (Kisses B) Later. (Walks
out.)

------------------------------------

P: (walks onto bridge) So, Ensign. I see you managed to
keep my ship in a reasonably manuverable condition. Thank
you. (sits in his seat. sighs) O-kay. Let's get away from
these bastards.

R: Captain, the Borg are hailing us again. Audio only.

J: Put it on, Mr. Rollins.

Borg: You have been warned. Return drone 7 of 9, or you will
be assimalated. Resistance is futile. (Message terminated)

J: Is there any way to shut them up?

TU: I do not believe so Captain. The Borg are a collective,
and, in essence, one mind. They are also like Vulcans, and
have no-

J: Tuvok, shut the hell up.

Tu: Aye, Captain. My apologies.

J: Chakotay, get the senior officers in my ready room. I
want to talk to them before the Borg come back.

Ch: Aye, Captain. (pushes buttons on his arm rest. Taps
Comm badge) Chakotay to Seven.

7: Yes, Commander?

Ch: Have you seen Harry?

7: Yes, Commander. (chuckles guietly)

Ch: Could you find him, and tell him to contact me.

7: Yes, Commander. (murmurs in the back ground) Quiet!

Ch: What was that?

7: Nothing, Commander. I'll tell him.

Ch: Thank you, Seven. Chakotay out.

H: (seconds later) Kim to Chakotay. What did you need?
(giggles in the background.) Quiet!

Ch: Ensign Kim, report to the Captain's ready room
immediatly.

H: Um, there's one problem thjat will keep me from doing
that, Commander.

Ch: What, Ensign?

H: I'm stuck in the turbolift.

Ch: What?! How?

H: In one one of the first blasts, the turbolift stopped. It
looks like we're between decks 5 and 6. But neither of us
can get the doors open.

Ch: Use the emergency grip. It's in the panel under the
manuel controls.

H: It's not there, Commander. We've looked behind every
loose bulkhead. There's nothing in here.

Ch: Fine, Ensign. We'll get you out as soon as possible.
Chakotay out.

J: Chakotay, I've noticed something. The Borg Cube shoots
two blasts of their disruptor beam, then moves out of
transporter range. Why is that?

Ch: I don't know, captain. Maybe they want to make sure
Seven isn't injured.

J: Get Seven in here now.

Ch: (on comm link) Ensign Kim, where is Seven?

H: Oh, um, she's in here, too.

Ch: I'm not going to ask.

H: Please don't.

J: Chakotay, are transporters back on-line?

Ch: Yes, Captain.

J: Janeway to Transporter Room three. Seven and Ensign Kim
are in turbolift <#>. Beam them to the bridge.

Tr. Rm. 3: The transporters are still malfuntioning, Captain.
I can't gurantee they'll be on the bridge on the first try.

J: Try, Ensign. (Kim and 7 materialize on the bridge. They
look at each other, blush, and look away.) Thank you, Ensign.
Janeway out. Seven why are the Borg hitting us twice then
backing off?

7: I do not know. In my time as a Borg, we never encountered
a situation like this.

J: O-kay. Harry, there is an officer's meeting, and I want
that report in two hours, as promised.

H: What report?

J: The one you promised me earlier.

H: Oh, yeah. I mean, Yes Captain. Two hours. Understood.

J: It looks like the Borg are coming in for another pass.
Mr. Kim, scan the Borg ship and tell me if you detect a
dramatic drop in the Ship's weapons array when it hits us.
(Ship is hit)

H: Yes, Captain. I'm detecting a 60% power loss, then it
rises 20 %. It will hit us again in 5 seconds. (Ship is
hit, Borg ship runs.)

J: Janeway to all senior officers. Report to my ready room
immediatly. Janeway to sickbay. How is B'Elanna's leg
coming, Doctor?

D: Not good, Captain. Her leg is fractuered severly enough
that none of my instruments can repair it. Not fully. I've
repaired it as much as I can, but I had to resort to Old
Earth tactics by putting on a plaster cast. But she can't
walk on it, because she has a hairline fracture in her other
leg that I can't repair. I had to wrap it, too.

J: Tom, go get her, and be quick about it.

P: Aye, Captain. (Walks out)

------------------------------------

B: (Tom walks into ready room carrying B) I feel
incredibally stupid.

J: Good, your here. Lt. Torres, is our Warp Core going to
hold?

B: I believe so, Captain. (Goes into a long speal of techno-
babble. Everyone looks at her blankly.) I other words, it
will if we aren't attacked by the Borg again. (Ship is hit)
That was too much to hope for. (Everyone walks onto bridge,
Tom carrying B)

J: Tom. Helm. Now.

P: (Lays B on deck and walks to the helm.) Executing evcasive
manuvers, Captain. (Ship is hit) Seven, any ideas why
you're so important? (Glances at H) To the Borg, I mean.

J: Mr. Paris, request permision next time you want to talk.
Seven, please answer his question.

7: I am unable to assume an answer, Captain. This is highly
unusual activity for the Borg. I have retained all knowledge
of Borg activities. I also do not sense the Collective.

Ch: You're not Borg, anymore, Seven. You're Human now. You
won't hear the Collective again, except in your heart.

7: I understand that, Commander. But I have always been
able to sense the Collective when they are near. I can't
sense them right now. Not strongly enough to be from that
Cube.

J: Are you saying there aren't Borg on that ship?

7: I don't believe there is, Captain. I feel the Collective,
but not from there. (Closes her eyes. Sees flashes of her
running on Earth. Opens her eyes.) Hail them.

H:Captain? (J nods) Hailing the Borg Cube. They're
responding. Audio only.

Borg: (One voice, not many in Harmony) Return drone 7 of 9
or be destroyed respond.

7: This is drone 7 of 9. What do you want with me? (Pict of
Borg lady with only a few Borg implants appears on the
screen.)

BL: Annika? I that you? Baby, it's Mommy!

7: Mommy? (closes her eyes)

BL: Yes, it's Mommy. Come on. Come back to us, and we'll
explain it all.

7: (Eyes pop open) No.

BL: No? Sweetie, what do you mean, No? Annika, I missed your
whole childhood. Please, let's just get you over here, and
we'll talk about it.

7: I- I can't. I don't know you. You're not my mother. I'm
staying here. (Pict goes away)

Borg: (In Borg Harmony voice) 7 of 9. You are required to
return to the Borg. Resistance is futile. (Message
terminated. Borg ship moves out of weapon's range.)

J: Mr. Paris, take us out of here. Full impulse. Mr. Kim,
keep the view screen on the Borg ship. (As soon as it looks
like Voyager is out of harm's way, the Borg ship blows up.)

7: I belive I will go to my quarters. (Walks to Jeffries
tube and starts climbing.)

H: Captain, permission to-

J: Granted, Mr. Kim. But I still want that report.

H: Aye, Captain. (Walks to same Jeffries tube and starts
climbing after 7)

J: Tom, B'Elanna, get off my bridge. You two, (smiles) are
confined to your quarters, or to the Holodeck, with your own
program, until 0500 tomorrow morning. Understood? (T and B
smile at each other)

P: Undertood. (Walks over and picks up B, and says) are
Turbolifts working yet?

Ch: Yes, Lt.

P: Thank you. (Walks into Turbolift, doors close.)

------------------------------------

N: So, Seven, I'm glad you chose to stay. But why did you?
I thought you wanted to go back to the Borg.

7: I did. But my human instincts told me not to. Besides,
(smiles at H) I've made friends here.
