(A Drabble)
(By Penny A. Proctor. Paramount owns Star Trek: Voyager and its characters. A companion piece to Season 2’s "Alliances")
Our relationship has changed. It only shows when we disagree. The easy confidence we had before is gone. She sees my suggestion as a bid for power.
It’s my job. As Exec, I am supposed to propose options. It’s not a challenge to her authority. Why can’t she see that?
I made a mistake going after Seska the way I did. The other ramifications are bad enough, but if I’ve lost Janeway’s trust forever, we are all in trouble.
I told her we need an alliance with the Kazon. What we need is an alliance between the two of us.
