Mess Hall

Tom: "It's fine. I'm fine. It's over and done with, everything is back to normal. Don't worry about it."

B'Elanna: "Are you sure?" I asked, slightly nervously.

Tom: I laughed, "Of course. Let's go enjoy our time off."

B'Elanna: "All right, what do you want to do?" I asked, heading for the door.

Tom: "The...holodeck?"

B'Elanna: "It depends,"

Tom: "On?"

B'Elanna: "The program..."

Tom: "What program do you want to run?"

B'Elanna: "I don't care, as long as it's something relaxing,"

Tom: "A...gondola ride along the Venetian Lagoon?" I suggested.

B'Elanna: "Gondola?" I laughed. "Since when is that a program?"

Tom: "Oh, I got bored a few days ago. So, what do you say?"

B'Elanna: "Sure... as long as you don't tip it over,"

Tom: I laughed and shook my head, "No promises."

B'Elanna: "Great.... fine, let's just go,"

Tom: "Roger that," I said, walking out of the room.

B'Elanna: I entered the Mess Hall and looked around. It was mainly empty, apart from Commander Chakotay and Seven of Nine.

Riker: I followed her into the ship's Mess Hall, it reminded me of Ten-Forward on our own ship, except smaller and much brighter.

Wesley: I walked in after Commander Riker.

Deanna: I walked behind the group, observing the general emotions of the members as we moved along.

Beverly: I entered behind Deanna.

Geordi: I walked in next to Doctor Crusher.

Worf: I followed in the back of the group, mostly noticing how much smaller this ship was.

Tom: I followed them all into the Mess Hall. I was behind the rest of the group. I found it extremely strange that they had someone as young as Ensign Crusher as helmsman. Shrugging it off, I looked around the Mess Hall. For some reason it seemed strange not having Neelix assaulting you in an attempt to get you to be his human experiment for his various toxic 'delicacies'. I looked over and saw that Commander Chakotay and Seven of Nine were sitting at one of the many tables. I walked over to them.

Chakotay: I looked up at Tom as he walked over, "So you're the tour guide?"

Tom: I laughed, "Word seems to spread fast. Have you been formally introduced to our group that are interested enough in our home to get a tour of it?"

Chakotay: "Not formally, no," I answered.

Tom: I turned around and saw that the group had walked over close enough so that I could introduce them. I began pointing to the various people as I said their names. "Commander Riker, Commander Chakotay; Commander Chakotay, Commander Riker. Commander Riker, Seven of Nine; Seven of Nine, Commander Riker. Deanna Troi, Commander Chakotay; Commander Chakotay, Deanna Troi. Deanna Troi, Seven of Nine; Seven of Nine, Deanna Troi. Beverly Crusher, Commander Chakotay; Commander Chakotay, Beverly Crusher. Beverly Crusher, Seven of Nine; Seven of Nine, Beverly Crusher. Lieutenant Worf, Commander Chakotay; Commander Chakotay, Lieutenant Worf. Commander LaForge, Commander Chakotay; Commander Chakotay, Commander LaForge. Commander LaForge, Seven of Nine; Seven of Nine, Commander LaForge. Ensign Wesley Crusher, Commander Chakotay; Commander Chakotay, Ensign Wesley Crusher. Ensign Wesley Crusher, Seven of Nine; Seven of Nine, Ensign Wesley Crusher."

Riker: "Nice to meet you both," I smiled.

Geordi: I nodded. "Nice to meet you,"

Worf: I tilted my head jerkily to the side in greeting.

Wesley: "Hi," I smiled.

Deanna: "Hello,"

Beverly: "Seven of Nine.... isn't that a Borg designation?" I asked curiously.

B'Elanna: "You've got to be kidding me," I rolled my eyes as Tom finished introducing everyone.

Tom: I shrugged, "He wanted a formal introduction."

Chakotay: I nodded to each of them as he introduced us.

Seven of Nine: I looked at the woman that Lieutenant Paris had called Beverly Crusher and nodded, "Yes, it is. I used to be Borg."

Beverly: I nodded. "Interesting..."

Deanna: I looked at Beverly. "Are you all right? You're confused,"

Beverly: "No. Just, curious, I suppose,"

Seven: "Curious?"

Beverly: "Well, our Captain was assimilated, and I was able to remove all of his implants... of course, he had only been gone several days... but I still find it interesting that it differs at all," I shook my head. "It's nothing important, really,"

Geordi: I chuckled. "You're being a little rude, Doc,"

Beverly: "Oh... he's right. I am. I'm sorry if I offended you. It's just such a big mystery, I can't help but be curious,"

Seven: "Because of the amount of time I spent as a drone, our Doctor was unable to remove all of my Borg implants. The few that remain are those that are now a part of my anatomy, and are, therefore, crucial to my survival."
