Disaster

[harry_kim]

Here's my first try at a fic, well...it's kind of dumb but I just thought I might as well write one
Interesting title but it was a last minute choice

************************

Captain Kathryn Janeway walked in through the doors to the bridge.

Chakotay stood up as the doors hissed open.

"Captain," he said, "I know you've been working with B'Elanna, but right now w-"

A jolt shook through the ship as Janeway sat down. "It'll have to wait Commander," she said, holding up a hand as the bridge shook. "Report!"

"I wish I could Captain," said Ensign Kim, scanning a screen close to him, his fingers meanwhile tapping the brightly lit command buttons around him.

Janeway glanced over at him. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"The computer can't pinpoint any source for what's going on, or even where it's coming from. For all I know it could be a ship malfunction or a direct assault from the Kazon."

"Red alert." Janeway looked back towards the viewscreen. "Onscreen."

The viewscreen lit up to reveal stars, but only stars, nothing else.

"Try to get those scanners working Mr. Kim. Without them we can't even determine where this attack is coming from - likely a cloaked ship or-"

Suddenly, the frequent blasts rocking the ship stopped.

"What happened?" asked Janeway.

"I don't know, Captain, but the computer appears to be working again. There's no record of what just happened."

Tuvok looked up from his station. "Captain," he said. "There is no damage to the ship."

Janeway turned and looked at him quickly, puzzled. "No damage?" she asked. Staring at him for a second, she turned and walked off of the bridge. "Keep me posted," she said.

************************

"Well, what do you think happened?" asked Tom, changing the conversation abruptly.

Harry looked at him. "Huh?" he asked.

Tom chuckled. "Don't you even remember? The mysterious attack earlier today?"

Harry stirred his soup - or whatever Neelix's latest concoction was - and shrugged. "What about it?"

"Well aren't you even curious? I'd have thought you'd have been going crazy trying to convince the Captain to let you investigate."

"Why so interested? There's a number of things it could have been, and there was no damage to the ship."

Tom shrugged. "I don't know, but I think that's the part that...bothers me. I remember hearing about something like this once, on Earth, kind of a story. Twelve days after it happened everyone on the ship was dead or something like that...I can't remember the whole thing."

Now it was Harry's turn to chuckle. "You were probably the onl-on-only" Suddenly Harry's head fell right into the soup.

Tom tapped his combadge. "Paris to sickbay, medical emergency!"

Thanks, here's chapter 2

************************

"Mr. Kim, try to breathe normally," the Doctor said as Harry was laid down on a bed in sickbay. He removed a tricorder from a nearby table and began scanning him.

Harry was gasping and looking around him; he began to feel faint and laid his head down to drift into unconsciousness.

The tricorder beeped several times as the doctor finished scanning. He held it up and began observing the data.

Unfortunately, as the list of medical information started to appear on the screen, the tricoder suddenly went blank and the words disappeared. The Doctor stared at the tricorder in puzzlement for a few moments and went to scan it with another instrument. According to the scans, there was nothing wrong with it. Setting it down on a table, he decided to investigate this strange happening later. Meanwhile he would have to see more about Harry.

************************

Neelix walked through the doors to the holodeck and started up his latest program, in which he played a world famous chef. He smiled to himself, looked at the holograms that had come to watch him prepare some food, and began cooking.

The doors hissed open again and Chakotay walked through. "I came to watch your program Neelix," Chakotay said, looking around. "This was the time you wanted me here, right?"

Neelix grinned over at the commander. "That's right, Commander Chakotay," he said, moving over and shaking Chakotay's hand, "I'm glad you could make it. My name is Chef Neelix and this is my latest holodeck program, Neelix's Cookshop. Now, I wanted to know if you'd be my guinea pig."

Chakotay looked over at the simmering pots of holographic food and winced. "It looks like you've already got an audience," he said, nodding towards the holograms.

"Yes but they're just holograms! I needed someone who could react in a more...real way to my foods!"

*I'll be reacting all right* thought Chakotay, but he didn't say anything. "Well, why not?" he said. Moving over towards a pot of food, he took a spoon off of a nearby countertop.

"This ready?" he asked Neelix.

"Almost, here, try this one," said Neelix as he moved over and took of the lid of another pot.

Chakotay dipped the spoon into the pot and lifted it up to his mouth. He took a sip of the warm liquid. Just as he was about to swallow, he felt a blinding pain and dropped to the floor.

Neelix, thinking it was an act, laughed. "Oh come on Chakotay, it can't be that bad," he said.

Chakotay rolled over so he was facing upward. Neelix saw the pain in his face and tapped his combadge. "Neelix to the doctor! Medical emergency!"

************************

Janeway looked around. She had called a meeting of the senior staff, of which there were getting fewer and fewer of. The Doctor certainly had his hands full enough; seven in sickbay and likely to be more on the way.

"We can't determine where these attacks are coming from," Janeway began, "but I'll take a guess that it has something to do with that mysterious attack this morning. And although we can't even determine yet if it WAS an attack, we'll have to assume the worst. These strange lapses in computer memory and sensor abilities may also give us a clue to what's happening. Unfortunately with no solid facts about where these momentary computer sabotages are even coming from, we're left at jumping to conclusion after conclusion."

"Then I believe, Captain, that we must have all areas of the ship carefully searched by the crew," said Tuvok.

Janeway looked back at him. "Actually Tuvok, that's exactly what I was thinking, although we'll have to use less sophisticated equipment to do this search. Tricorders can't be trusted for the time being. And remember that we do have a need to hurry. Those crewmembers in sickbay could be dead within the hour. Dismissed."
