So Tuvok went nuts and infected the entire former Maqui crew with a memetic virus from a Bajoran nutjob and took over Voyager. In the end he fought it of and managed to cure the rest before anything serious happened.
All which I was unable to affect as I was once again in fucking sickbay after getting my hearing upgraded. Actually, that's wrong, I was in my quarters as the beds in sickbay was needed for the people Tuvok knocked out with the mindmelds to do the transfer.
I was still out of it but I was moved to my bed instead as the Doctor needed the beds. The new ears are...interesting. I can adjust both volume and frequencies.
Then someone stole the Doctor and forced him to work in a medical emergency ward that was run in a way that would have made any modern rightwing nut proud. The ones that where high class and could pay where treated like kings. The rest got only the most basic of care and very little if any drugs.
We managed to track him down by interrogating the trader that stole him. He is now back on board.
Now I'm looking at Reginald Barclay. Well, a hologram of him that arrived in the last transmission from Earth as he describe a plan to use the magnetic field around a pair of red giants to open a space time fold between this position and a almost identical one in the Alpha Quadrant.
"I'm dubious Captain. This seem to simple, to convenient." I say as I shake my head.
She frown "Reasons for your suspicions?" and I sigh
"None other than feelings. This is just...to easy." she nods
"It's a radical plan but the data say it might work. And we did get the hologram in a transmission from starfleet."
I nod and hold up a mechadendrite as 'Reg' try to speak up
"Indeed. But why couldn't they just send the data in a normal transmission? No, this just feel wrong. We should at the very least go through his program for hidden missions and subroutines."
Janeway frown slightly "I thought you where against that kind of thing when it came to AI's?" and I nod
"I am. But 'Reg' is a VI, a expert system, not a actual AI. He is programmed to interact with the crew as well as helping Voyager home. The difference is choice. He is following his programming, the Doctor is different, he chose to do different things."
The Captain nod "Very well, we will do a examination of his program before going ahead with the plan. We still got time."
Reg look unhappy and nods before I inject "Make sure you check the memory engrams and such as well for anything that don't fit the profile."
"Now wait here one minute. We don't got time for this, we need to start working at once." Reg speak up and Janeway turn to B'Elanna
"Go through his program, see what you can find."
Reg look panicked for a second before deleting himself from Voyagers computer.
The next month we received another transmission from Starfleet. The Hologram was genuine...at first. But the transmission was intercepted on the way to Voyager by Ferengi. The spacetime fold would be real, but the radiation would have killed the crew, leaving Voyager ready for the taking.
And their real goal was to get their hands on Sevens Nanoprobes.
