Dimension Hopping Weirdos
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 2775

"Neelix's Personal Log. Supplemental. By my clock, it has been five days since I entered the astonishing and bizarre spatial rift to safe Tom Paris. Or whom I thought was Tom Paris. It was a shape changer and he attempted to eat me! Fortunately, five shapes dragged from the embrace of death and brought me back onto my ship. It was only after the good doctor treated my injuries I discovered who my captors were. At first, I thought I was hallucinating. When I first came to, I saw two Harry Kims. But it turns out the one on the left, with the oval scar above his left eyebrow, was one of the five who saved me. Scarred Kim has been hopping from alternate Voyager to alternate Voyager for roughly a year now, helping each ship out of some sort of difficulty. I haven't had the chance to meet the others yet but he's told me all about them. There's Ensign Wildman, a version who never had a child. She has short black hair and is a delightful cook. I shall have to get some of her recipies before this current spatial rendering crisis threatening the ship is over. (The group usually vanishes when the problem does). Lt. JG Vorik, a delightful version of the second Vulcan on board. This one comes from a dimension where the Vulcans have learned to be intelligent and emotional. The look on Tuvok's face when Alternate Vorik laughed at one of my jokes...Tuvok's ears almost fell off! To round out the group is Ensign Hesha Merryweather. Our version is withdrawn, quiet but has her own group of friends on board. (I helped her open up to life onboard and got a commendation. Plus, an actual compliment from Tuvok!). But Alternate Hesha makes friends with everyone. It seems almost automatic. I think there was something about Alternate Hesha not having lost family to the warp core break that killed so many people on the freelance colony ship 'USS Obama'. Plus, Merryweather, both of them, are descended from the pilot of the very first exploratory ship in the Federation! Paris has designed a holodeck program around it and if the spatial warps weren't running amok, me and him would be back on that ship and rescuing Captain Archer from yet another prison cell. The last member of the dimension-lost time came as quite a suprised to everyone. Ensign Suder. Now Suder was lost several years ago in a battle against most deadly enemies that threatened the safety of the ship and it's crew and who knows how many innocents. Before that, though, was bad times. Our Suder was very ill and in a fit of anger, had killed a fellow crewman. Alternate Suder was fortunate enough to seek help from his captain and doctor before succumbing to his madness. Fortunately every Voyager him and his team visited has had a Vulcan willing to help him with his emotional restraint training. Oh my, I've ended my log entry on such a negative note. That is never good karma, as my dear sweet mother would say. Oh, I guess I should go to the bridge and see if anyone needs any cheering up. --- Neelix finishes his log entry and there is a knock on the door. Who is it?
