Madness (final)

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 5866

The vixen takes a deep, steadying breath before continuing.

I and my companions were able to get permission to visit this universe's Guardian of Forever, and when we asked to see the history of what had/would happen in our universe from the time that Bald Janeway first invaded up to her final defeat. My worst fears were confirmed. The reactions of the rest of the crew was not surprising....I wasn't the only one that Baldy and her forces bragged about devastating the Alpha Quadrant (re: episode 93885). Yes, there was crying and swearing, cursing Baldy. But, we had always known that we might never have been able to return home.....the pictures just went and proved that we can never return to our original home. Though Earth, Vulcan, and thousands of other worlds are now ash, we dare NOT return, for fear of this scene repeating in millions of universes! We don't dare try to change the outcome.....because while the Voyager is a valiant ship I just can not see how I could change things. THAT is how devastating and forceful Baldy's attacks were. Only the fact that that other analogs were able to defeat Baldy through the slimmest of margins....the most tenuous of margins of victories make even the most rabid of my crewmembers who want to return....see that we dare NOT return.

So...we make our home here in this universe. It's a good place to call home that's almost like our old home. The people here are friendly and EAGER to help us make this our home. And....the Voyager has been a home of sorts for years now.

So the majority of both the human and furry crew is now out in the Delta Quadrant. A total of ten people from the human and furry contingent of the Voyager have opted to stay behind for other assignments....or to return to civilian life for some Marquis members (I am not going to say anything bad about that....because I can understand it to a large extent). The Voyager is something of a home for the Voyager crew. The furries can't return home because there's nothing to return to, and any attempt to alter the outcome....could prove disasterous....and as cold blooded as it may sound......I for one WON'T because Baldy is so @$@*@# deadly dangerous! I could drive myself insane by dwelling on the past on what now can no longer be....so I look forward to what I and my crew can do to make a difference in THIS universe.

End of log entry. Vixen Janeway out.

Soon, furry Janeway finds herself facing human Captain Janeway....who was the acting Captain for this month while she played Head Engineer.

"Katherine," the vixen says quietely. "I would like to tell you something I and my fellow furries saw while on leave while the Voyager was in drydock....."

As the vixen tells her stunned human counterpart (in the empty Ready Room) what happened......

As the vixen Janeway continues, Scott sits in his quarters, continuing his personal log.

"Voyager's come a long way from when Caretake snatched them. Why, I bet in my universe, Paramount still has them stuck in the Delta Quadrant. It's been hell, let me say. We've rocketed across the multiverse so many times I still feel like puking. But I've got to say that being able to go back to the Alpha Quadrant whenever we want to is mightily exciting. This kind of thing is Starfleet's main purpose. "I still don't like that observer Starfleet sent along. We were told he's just along to give us an extra boost of manpower after those few of us left but the guy still gives me the creeps. Computer, end log."

Somewhere else on the ship someone is laughing.....

Sanders, his mind already shattered from not only seeing these strange events from the viewpoint of Scott Chen....but from EVERY angle by all the viewpoints of Voyager's crew....giggles even harder as a similar....but different....dream unfolds.....

A key point of difference is that while this Scott Chen had been on the road to marriage with this furry Samantha Wildman.....he had taken longer to "pop the question" than the other Scott.....

Anyway....

  1. To sleep, and perhaps to dream.....nightmares.....
