Explanations with a touch of verbal chaff.....

Understandably, the Captain (the human one) of the Voyager fails to mention the fact that Scott (and now you) are the source of the chaos energy mentioned in Janeway's explanation. Frankly you are happy enough for that. It wouldn't make life any easier for you if the Nantucketers feared you. All in all, you know things are going to be difficult enough as they are as things develop.....

You know the whole story that Janeway is telling (who's using verbal chaff with the ever popular "technobabble" that seems all the rage)...

You remember the explanation that they'd given you earlier.....

Well, the story they tell you is this a weird one. They found Scott on a mysterious planet that the Voyager that the human had...been on. Scott was a well spring of "chaos energy" (energy that made almost the impossible happen on a daily basis for Scott . . . . .or to Scott, whether he wanted it to happen or not!) After several misadventures where Scott saved the Voyager from an antimatter bomb, got the human crew un-assimilated from the Borg (after it had gone insane from Scott's memories.....don't ask) and dying in the process. The story got more interesting when, after the funeral, fifty other Voyagers popped in on a mission to capture and contain Scott, to keep him from bopping from time to time and universe to universe, whenever the chaos energy acted up. Through a ploy on a bald Janeway's part, the human Voyager got destroyed, but the crew was rescued and placed upon the furry Voyager. Events came to show that, through Scott (when he finally got resurrected by his chaos energy) that Baldy planned on using Scott (and a whole bunch of analog Scotts) to gain infinite power by harvesting the Chaos energy (very painful to the Scotts in question . . . . . and ultimately lethal in the process). The furry Voyager was an unwilling partner in this affair (practically slaves), but with the aid of their human counterpart, revolted. They broke away from Baldy and her cohorts, and burned out their dimensional hopper (just like it sounds, folks) and ended up (after rescuing the other Scotts from Baldy's clutches) back where they started (sans Baldy, they gave her the slip after random hopping through thousands of universes, at random). Unfortunately . . . .

"Unfortunately, two temporal anomalies caused things to go screwy." a wolf morph Paris says. "One swept all but our Scott away, the one that saved us from assimilation, and then . . . . married furry Ensign Wildman. The fact that they had a relationship seemed to be the only saving factor for our Scott, we think. The second one . . . ." He waves at the ship.

"And it also drained Scott of . . . this energy." you say in a neutral voice. You don't think you can believe this. "And the human Janeway became Head Engineer, and human Chakotay and the Torresses became . . . . Assistant Chief Engineers?!"

"In a nutshell, yes." furry Janeway says.

".....the second temporal anomaly caused a wormhole to swallow and incapacitate my ship," human Janeway finishes up. "We finally arrived, after a long period of time floating through the wormhole, to crash near where our guest was...who will now explain why we have...made contact."

"And broke one of Star Fleet's most cardinal of rules," she adds under her breath, "The Prime Directive."

You then.....
