Janeway’s Odyssey
By Gun Brooke

Janeway walked up to Norrian with Seven by her side. “You found them. Or they found you.” Norrian knew her well enough not to have to ask. “Yes. They found me. Norrian, this is Seven of Nine, she my…was my, astrometrics officer.” “Seven of Nine, it’s an honor.” Norrian kissed Seven’s human hand, which rendered him a curious glance under a raised implant. “I have heard a lot about you.” “Indeed?” “All good, I assure you.” Norrian turned his attention back to Janeway. “So this means…you’re leaving, right?” “I…yes. You always knew that I was looking for my family.” Janeway shrugged, still light-headed and more physically and emotionally affected by reaching her goal, than she ever thought she’d be. “You look overwhelmed.” Norrian shook his head. “And Poros is going to have a fit. He honestly never counted on you to find Voyager. In fact, I think he counted on you running the ship for his family after he passed away.” Shocked, Janeway stared at her friend. “Surely you’re wrong about that!” “No.” He grimaced faintly. “I suppose you’re here to say goodbye.” “No,” Janeway said. “You won’t leave until late tomorrow, so there will be time for that later. I’m going to get something to eat, and then go aboard Voyager and see my crew. If you could cover for me on the bridge, I’ll see you tomorrow morning.” She shifted her gaze to Seven. “And now it’s time for you to take me to that inn. I’ve missed you, Seven, and there is something important I need to discuss with you.” _______________________________________________________________
