Cabin fever and the Janeways.....

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 17730

"So, now we know what happened to the old Defiant," sighs human Janeway. "After disappearing from my universe, it ended up here."

"Yes, and apparently the journey here was a touch rough on her," furry Janeway sighs. "She lost hull intergrity, and any useable components, like the dilithium crystals, were pretty much a wash."

"At least we could give an eulogy for the dead of that ship." human Janeway says. "It was the least . . . . the only thing we could do for them."

The human and the vixen sit in silence for a few minutes.

"Your bored out of your mind, too?" asks the vixen.

"Yes," sighs human Janeway. "I mean, I never thought I'd be sorry something bad or something isn't happening, but . . . . ."

"A month has gone by since we crossed the Great Barrier, and not a peep from that creature that wanted to destroy the Voyager. And even my holo-novel program is . . . getting dull to me."

"Same here," sighs the vixen. "I'd have thought that there'd be more . . . well, interesting things to see in the core of the galaxy . . . but so far it's been just a bunch of . . . . boring planetary garbage. At least we're able to mine what we needed from those asteroids."

The Captains then turn to other items of interest. With things being as queit and uneventful as they have been, the discussion is very trivial indeed.

"So, how are things going with you and Chakotay?" the vixen asks coyly, tail swishing.

"Nothing . . . really interesting, Kathrine." human Janeway mutters. She hadn't made a move, nor had Chakotay. It was almost like . . . . they were reluctant to do anything.

"Aye, same here." sighs the vixen. "I . . . just don't want to ruin the way things are right now. You know what I mean?" The human nods in agreement.

"So, how many people have joined in on that strange game that Scott found in the computer archives?" human Janeway asks. "That 'Sir Toby' game?"

"Seems like more and more, each day." the vixen says. "One branch in particular took a really strange twist. It involves this knight . . . . a Lord Fred who ran afoul of a mad dragon who cursed him with lycanthropy. It turned him into a werefox. Then it gets REALLY weird when offworld aliens come in and a superplague REALLY makes things go to pot for the regular humans of that world . . . ."

As the Captains chat about the latest weirdness of an old test based "Choose your own adventure" computer game, other's are suffering from cabin fever.
